Firehouse Subs

Awesome service! Greeted at entry, order taker made suggested new pork sandwich and then came by later to ask if our table enjoyed it.

Oh wow oh wow! I wasn’t expecting much, but this was amazing! I had a Thai pork special sub, which was AWESOME. I was expecting it too be too spicy, but it definitely was perfect.
Service was fast and friendly, and the drink machine is really cool.

We stopped in on our way through town and were amazed at the warm friendly welcome. The food was fantastic but we were mostly impressed by the service.

This review is for the Firehouse Subs on Coldwater Road. My son and I went in less than half an hour before they closed. We explained we needed a minute to look at the menu as we had not been there before. The 2 employees that were working explained everything on the menu and were very helpful and actually acted like they enjoyed being there. Even though they were probably looking forward to closing and going home, they were very nice and didn’t rush us — they even asked if we wanted to eat there or take it home. We opted to take the food home. The subs were good and my son LOVED the drink machine — I think it has about 120 options to choose from. Very cool. We will definately be back.

So… a sub shop born in Jacksonville, FL comes to the South-​eastern part of Fort Wayne. This is basically, the home area of the tenderloin sandwich? I’m skeptical, but my curiosity to try a new place so close to home quells the apprehension.
As a last side note, I just want to point out that this place has is rumored, to be frequented by a number of both firefighters and police officers. While you’re waiting for your sub, either try to act like the police do not see you. Or stop by a table and thank the men and women who are always working hard to keep us safe from the dangers of the doughnut shops. And very rarely get the recognition they deserve. Then sit back and enjoy a kick-​ass sub with an icy cold Coke.
A few days ago was the first time I had ever paid for a sub at Firehouse. It’s an interesting concept because basically it’s just a simple extension from Quizno’s and Subway but there are two differences.
1. You can’t watch them make your sub — Firehouse is in total control.
2. If you eat in the restaurant they bring the sub out to you. (Which is great service compared to other sub chains).
I also found it extremely interesting that they offered a variety of probably 50 different hot sauces up on the counter that you could grab and use on your sub. I am personally not a hot sauce guy, and if I were going to use it. I think the last place I would want it to be on is my sub. Especially since it already has oil and vinegar?
The only thing I find that I could complain about is the size of the subs. Very conservative The Democratic party would love to point out that fat cat Republications need to watch their waist lines.
