Firehouse Subs

We had a great lunch here. My chopped salad, with smoked turkey and honey ham, was huge and immaculately fresh. My husband and sons all enjoyed their sandwiches — one hot, one cold, one grilled cheese. The surroundings were very clean and the service was friendly and prompt. Our special requests were no problem. The kids enjoyed the fancy touch-​screen soda machine. This will definitely be high on our list of places to eat when in Warrenton.
Edit: We ate here again today, for a late lunch. Absolutely no complaints. I had the same salad as before, and it was just as good and fresh. My husband’s and sons’ sandwiches were super. Firehouse Subs continues to rank at the top of our Warrenton list.

Great service and food! If we didn’t live 40 minutes away, I would visit all the time.

Good subs from here never been disappointed in the quality of the food. Sometimes a little slower than you like but the quality of the subs makes up for it.

Enjoy going here! Food is decent and facility is normally clean. Staff if very friendly and gets your order right. Will continue to go back.

Hubby had picked up a takeout menu for this place from Costco, so we decided to try them last night.
As of now, I’m on the fence about «Firehouse Subs». It’s a chain that has gotten relatively good press, & the sub was very well-​filled, but as usual, they just do NOT know what goes into an «Italian» cold sub. On a «large» sub — two small pieces of salami, two of pepperoni, two of Provolone cheese, & then a sh*t-load of sweet baked Virginia ham doesn’t do it. And there is NO MAYO ON AN ITALIAN SUB — lol. The whole thing was just incredibly sweet from that sweet-​baked ham. And unlike «Jersey Mike’s Subs» here in Culpeper, Firehouse puts the Italian dressing (such as it is) on the sandwich instead of on the side, so by the time you eat it the bread (which is also way too soft to begin with) is soaked thru.
So while I may try one of their other sub varieties in the future, it definitely won’t be the Italian cold-​cut one I usually order from sub places.
I still seriously bemoan the fact that the little REAL Italian sub place in Culpeper («Bella Mia») never returned after that earthquake that damaged so much of the town. It took the town over a year before they made the necessary repairs & the elderly Italian gentleman just gave up & left. Now HE knew how to make an Italian sub — crusty baguette overstuffed with roasted red peppers, crushed red pepper sauce, real Italian spicy Capicola ham, Genoa salami, Provolone, Prosciutto ham sometimes. He called it «The Sicilian» & it was wonderful! At lunchtime the line at the place was out the door. Ah memories.…
I guess what I should do if/​when I’m in the mood for a REAL Italian sub is to just buy the bread & cold cuts myself & make it at home, because Virginia sub places Just. Don’t. Get. It. as far as Italian subs go.
On a more positive note, hubby did enjoy his turkey sub, but it was the ONLY sub he can ever enjoy from Firehouse since he’s not a red-​meat eater. That’s the ONLY sub available to anyone not wanting red meat on it. Sad, & definitely not with the times.
Prices were reasonable for a large (12″) sandwich, & well-​stuffed. I don’t have the receipt in front of me, but believe it was $ 8.99 for large; $ 6.99 for a 6″. But again — nothing special in my book.

Very friendly staff!!! The food is excellent. Could be a little bit on the pricey-side!!!if I’m in this area good place for lunch!!!

I’ve been here a bunch of times since they’ve opened and have been happy every time. This is one of the best new additions to Warrenton and I hope it sticks around for a long time! Service is wonderful & fast, selection is huge, & the restaurant is clean.
Everything has been good, but my favorite sub so far is the Hook & Ladder, which appears to be their signature sub. There’s also another one with bacon — YUM!

I just recently tried Firehouse Subs for the first time, and have already been back twice. I would definitely choose Firehouse over Subway, Quiznos, or Jimmy John’s. I love the Hook & Ladder, which is ham and turkey. Delicious! Their menu is simple, basically 10 subs to choose from. Just like the other chains, you can get the sub by itself or add chips and a drink. My husband is a big eater and the 12″ subs here always fill him up.
To address what some previous reviews have posted: I don’t have kids, so I can’t comment on the kids’ menu. Yes, the place is clean — a big plus! Unfortunately, I agree that it is overpriced. I don’t go out to eat extremely often, so to me this is a special treat and worth the price tag, but it’s definitely not a weekly lunch type place.

WAY over priced. Walmart Subway quality for Quizno prices. Our daughter said «Its depressing to eat and look at pictures of houses burning down»
Enuff said

Not impressed at all! Extremely over priced. I got a chicken salad sandwich (medium & not a combo) for $ 6! SIX DOLLARS… for just a sandwich. Combo would have brought me above $ 8. For one person, this seems ok. For a family of four people, it gets ridiculous! The sandwich was very flat and definitely nothing fancy or glamorous. I think Subway is more appealing looking, honestly. I won’t be back.

Steak & Cheese Sub, meh.
My first time to this place. I told the nice gal behind the register it was my first time and didn’t really know what was exceptionally good. So she suggested the Steak & Cheese.
Wow, how disappointing.
Just not very good, the flavor was blahhh, too much bread and way too pricey.
You’ll do better at Leadoes or even the Suuubsssway.
The marketing spin capatalzing on the fact that it was designed by Fireman is a reach.
They fail to remember this is just a gimmick and it’s food quality that keeps people coming back.

I have heard of this chain for years but never gone until today. I am hooked. I don’t like any of the other sub chains — Subway makes me ill. I went today and found a big bright store and even though it was lunch, my order was taken almost immediately. I ordered their Italian sub. Now I’ve had very bad all the way to very good, but this was Excellent! Without a doubt the best Italian sub I’ve ever eaten. On whole wheat bun — you can pick white or wheat — and mine was hot with melted mozzarella. I don’t know what they use for the dressing, but it had a LOT of flavor and the meats all seemed to be top quality. The size of the medium sub with a bag of chips (big variety to choose from) and a drink was just perfect for lunch. I’m tempted to go back tomorrow and did pick up a menu to study tonight.

You beat me to «first»! :)
I, too, have heard a lot about Firehouse Subs, but had never been. I went twice the past week. The first time, it was 5-​star all the way. I ordered the New York Steamer, and it was heavenly. Excellent quality meat, soft, moist, delish sub roll, melted provolone, and dressing that dripped down my shirt, but I was fine with that because it was so delish! Loved the ambiance, cleanliness, and brightness of the place, and that I was greeted as I entered. LOVE the hot sauce variety to choose from, rating from 1 – 10 on «hotness».
Took my kids there a couple days later and tried their chili, while my kids got a kids meal. The chili was very tasty, but for $ 3.99, a bit over-​priced for the small serving. The kids meals are what just reduced this to a 4-​star rating. Very disappointing.
Lesson learned, steer clear of the kids meals and get the real deal… the subs. HEAVENLY! A wonderful addition to Warrenton and sure to be a big hit. LOVE IT!
