Firehouse Subs

Great customer service ! The ingredients are all fresh tasting and my sub was perfect! I would recommend it too anyone who thinks all subs are the same. That aren’t!

We wanted to go to Nam Fong for lunch but the line was literally out the door so we opted for Firehouse Subs since it was right there. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t better than Jimmy John’s or Jersey Mike’s.
I think I might have just ordered the wrong sandwich… I ordered the Engineer (for me, I think it would have been better cold minus the mushrooms).

These guys are pretty good. I worked at a Firehouse out in San Diego for a few months as a part time gig on the side to save up some money, so I know how everything works and how it’s supposed to look and taste since I ate their may times a week. This one is right across from LA Fitness so I like to go in after workouts sometimes to get a fairly healthy meal in. Taste=5 stars all day! Every firehouse I’ve been to from San Diego to Illinois to Miami has been amazing and is never second to anyone in the quality or taste category.
If i remember correctly, Firehouse standards call for sandwiches to be done in a minimum of 6 – 8 minutes. My store in North County SD had a great staff and consistently sent out sandwiches with sub-​5 minute ticket times, pretty solid for a store that was always busy and overflowed into the parking lot with people during lunch and dinner hours. I have not seen this store in Bradenton get busy but my sandwich is always out in 5 – 6 minutes or less. This is pretty good because other firehouses I’ve been to around the country have been extremely slow and I’ve never had a sandwich from other ones come out in less than 10 minutes which is frustrating but I will deal with it every time because I love the sandwiches so much! So amazing. Absolutely destroying Subway, Quizno’s, Jersey Mike’s and Jimmy John’s despite the sometimes longer wait.
I highly recommend the Turkey Bacon Ranch!!! While maybe not the totally healthiest selection they have, definitely amazing! You can create your own sub as well if you don’t like the named combos on the menu. I would say the Steamer and Hook & Ladder have to be my other favorites! They also have the under 500 calories menu! And you can get any sandwich from the regular menu with the low-​cal Hearty and Flavorful wheat bun. Don’t be afraid to customize your sandwich and add/​subtract anything! Most firehouses are great with customer service and won’t make you feel like you’re being annoying! Do your thing!

The only thing that would make their meatball sub better would be bread from Mazzaros in St. Pete.

The subs are delicious! I heard great things and had to make a stop with my girls before we had to drive long distance. The ladies who worked there that day were super nice and friendly. Thanks for the hospitality :)
