Sparky’s Firehouse Subs II

This place has several shirts hanging up that say «Friends don’t let friends eat Subway», so I am going to do a side by side comparison.
Portion Size — They are pretty equal here, both for the size of the sandwich and the price, unless you factor in Subway has a much greater variety of sauces and veggies than here, then Subway edges here. Prices are also pretty comparable.
Variety — Meat selection is pretty equal, but as I mentioned before Subway wins the veggie category. Subway also wins for more kinds of bread.
Friendliness — Pretty upbeat and friendly here. Some Subways do a good job on this and some are terrible, so Sparky’s wins this round.
Atmosphere — Most Subways give the feeling of a cafeteria or that being being shoved through a cattle shoot to get your lunch then get the heck out. This place is roomy, and the firefighter theme is pretty fun. If nothing else at least it is different. Sparky’s wins again.
So, in comparison to Subway, the chain may have a slight edge. However, I prefer to support local business so I will probably frequent this place more just because of that. Also, tossing the Subway comparison out the window, these guys do a really good job as a stand alone sandwich stop. So buy local, eat local, eat at Sparky’s!

Amazing subs, friendly staff, and great bread!
