Firehouse Subs

After nearly a week of being very sick, I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic when my mom asked me if I wanted something from Firehouse Subs, but I had her get a Steak and Cheese for me anyway thinking I might eat it later or tomorrow. By the time she got home, though, it was late afternoon, so I figured, hey, maybe a few bites wouldn’t kill me. The first (tentative because of fever blisters) bite and I was happy as a clam! I’m not one for «exotic» sandwich combinations with all manner of dressings, sauces, and toppings, so this sandwich was a delight — mild but tasty, and not piled so high that I had trouble eating it. Some have complained about them being too thin but for me the ratio of bread to fixins’ was perfect! It’s more than safe to say that the Steak and Cheese will be my go-​to if and when we’re in the area. (The Baybrook location is a little out of the way when you just want to grab a quick bite.) And bonus points for the pickle spear, which rounded things out perfectly!
Also, I really appreciate Firehouse Subs’ straightforward, simple menu. It’s nice to be able to make a decision right away without having to waffle between several different choices while fearing buyer’s remorse later. (That «other» popular chain is always inconsistent — sometimes amazing, sometimes mediocre, and many times a waste of money.) So, thank you Firehouse Subs for some much needed, tasty, carbs and protein!

My wife wanted a ‘warm’ submarine sandwich. She really was in the mood for Penn Station, but they don’t have them in this area. I found a Firehouse nearby and have enjoyed those in the northern Indiana area. Location was accessible, clean but not spotless, and medium busy with several dining in and a couple waiting for takeout. We ordered a New York Steamer and a Firehouse Hero, both were sandwiches that we had not tried before. I would just call them «okay
». In the past I have tried different menu options (Engineer) and been more satisfied. Service was okay at this location and the wait was not long.
I would eat here again, but it wasn’t impressive enough to make me want to come back soon. Possibly I’ll order a different sandwich next time and see if that changes.

as advertised if it is not the best after the first bite… excellant sandwich. Plentiful selection, we went twice back to back days.

Any firehouse subs puts out a good sandwich but the service at this particular location is terrible. Every time I come the girl at the register has the worst attitude. I don’t understand how management lets that slide. Not to mention the rest of the staff is not professional at all. Yet somehow they can figure out how to put out a good sandwich.

The ten times better version of a subway. Greeted by everyone upon entering can be too much unless you’re used to the attention. :) lol. Try the hook and ladder on wheat. Super delish. All meals come hot and with a pickle. Again free pickles?! You’re speaking my language!

Food was ok. Wife ordered two subs and a kids sub online for me to pick up on my way home from work. When I got there, though the store was empty, they had not started making the order yet (15 minutes after it had been placed).
No one seemed apologetic and they were what can only be described as lethargic. They even forgot to give me the kids drink that comes with the meal.
I don’t expect great customer service at places like this, but they acted as if I was ruining their night by ordering food.

Problem with training or supervision of workers. A person dumped the ice in the soda machine and then used the bottom of the bucket to spread it around. I don’t know what the bucket was sitting on before he did that, but I’d guess the floor.

Nice, delicious and warm sandwiches. Filling, too! I tried the turkey salsa verde and although it was good, I wished I went for the turkey and cranberry instead. There was so little salsa verde on it that upon lifting the turkey slices (which were a generous amount) I could only see about 2 tablespoons or less of the sauce. I do love the wheat rolls and the stack of hot sauces (graded!) that they have lined up. I tried about 4 different sauces and they were all good!
The employees greeting you «welcome to Firehouse!» gets so repetitive as LITERALLY it echos. One person starts and then two and three follow until my group and I were making jokes and repeating after them «welcome to Firehouse!» Oh well, they must really welcome us there.
Will try again next time. I didn’t take a photo of mine but my friend had the meatball sandwich and accdg to her, it was mighty fiiiiiiine.

I live semi-​close to this establishment and quite enjoy it. It’s a great causal place that is very welcoming and provides quality sandwiches. Perfect for when your craving one. One of my favorites on the menu is the firehouse meatball. Always hot and fresh, my sandwich is always accompanied by a pickle, chips, and drink. What’s more great than that. The portion of sandwich is rather large so I will always come out full. I wouldn’t even say I’m a «regular» at this place at all, but somehow a guy that works there, I believe the manager, always remembers my order! Kinda neat… kinda creepy haha, JK. He’s just trying to help with his great memory. Like all firehouse subs now, they have the digital coke drink dispenser, so that’s pretty neat if your into it. But in all, it’s a real fun and loving place to eat. Family friendly for sure, and everyone will find something to eat! Oh and «welcome to firehouse!»

Had the firehouse hero really was good will go back soon

Welcomed by all employees at once, not my thing it’s a little obnoxious! Having to squeeze past too many tables to arrive at the rear of the store for ordering. Manager or Owner took my order and was very upbeat but not too goofy. I just love the soda machine!!! Manager visited all tables double checking quality. Super awesome décor with the dalmatian tables, fire coats, axes, and fire hydrants it was a cute place. Hoping to get my nephews in here soon.
Today was my second visit and I really liked how efficient they are. I sat at the bar today and got to watch the sandwich assembly. There was one lady that literally kept the flow of that whole place in order with a smile on her face. I think the back of her shirt said «steam station». I will be coming back here next time I need a warm sub. Believe me a medium is more than enough sandwich the large is HUGE!!!

Place was clean, service was ok. Received a weak welcome when I walked in. Ordered a BBQ beef and some type of Philly cheese steak rip off. I shared because I wanted to try both. Both were medium size but hardly worth the title. BBQ sauce tasted burnt and neither sandwich had much flavor. I left wondering what I had spent my money on.

Walking in the door I see a sign that reads Best Meatballs Guaranteed. With such a bold statement, I had to give their meatball sub a try.
The sandwich came out hot and had a delicious Italian aroma. I go in for a small bite and taste the bread and sauce. The bread had a nice toasted flavor and the sauce was also very good. With my taste buds primed, I go in for a big meatball bite. And my excitements turns to disappointment as the flavor falls short of the best meatball claim. The texture was off, a little to soft. And the flavor was off, a little to much like a meatball from a cheap TV dinner.
Reading the find print on the guarantee, I could have gotten my sandwich for free. But it was good enough that I didn’t want to go through the anguish of telling them their baby was ugly.
I like Firehouse subs, and I will come back again. But I will skip the meatball sub.
Who has the best meatballs? In my option Brooklyn Meatball company has the best. I also like the meatball subs from Mandolas Deli and Village Pizza.

the best subs I have ever had! Have interesting creative combinations but all taste just good. Love to have a choice of a bread! Service is good too!

Fantastic subs! Order ahead and avoid the wait (and probably a wait in line).

My favorite sub shop! They are always super nice too!

AWESOME subs! Kind of pricey, but well worth it. They also have a ton of special sauces to choose from. So far everything I’ve tried is amazing.

I think the TV is stuck on the Animal Channel. Went there again and had to endure the mating and feeding habits of the lions of the Serengeti. Weird. Just plain weird. Come on guys! Take a hint already. Nobody wants to sit there while eating and watch an infant wildebeast all covered in snot plop out of it’s mother onto the plains! Or a spider spinning a web around a still squirming bug it has captured in it’s web! Turn the channel or turn it off!

We ate here for dinner tonight. I’ve actually been here 4 times now.
My favorite sub is their featured sub, the Smokehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket. …YUMMY! I’ve actually ordered that the last 2 times I’ve been.
(I know, I know… but it’s hard for me to breakaway and try something different, when I’ve found something so good!)
…and, they serve Coke Zero! (I wish more places served Coke Zero)
The place is always clean and the portions are big, for the price.
They even offer the VIP cards, so after you eat several, you get one free.
I give this place 4 stars because the food is great and the service is pretty quick.
The only reason why they didn’t get 5 stars, is because I’ve been there twice after 8pm and both times it appears there isn’t a manager and the teens that work there are too loud. …sometimes obnoxiously loud.
Try them out if you haven’t. I definitely recommend the hot subs!
