Firehouse Subs

Good subs but they are pricey. They do not skimp on meat that’s for sure. Place is loud and could be cleaner but the service is fast, very fast. I ordered at 1145 and had my sub by 1150. Coke mixup machine and a tea machine as well. Wish they had better sides other than chips though, over all its a good sub.

Hello friends,
1^st off, be prepared to walk out smelling like you’ve just put out a 5 alarm fire. But why though? They steam their meats and bread. My suggestion is to turn down the smoke machine about 100 percent.
As for the menu, it’s not like the other hoggie/​sub shops. They don’t offer the same amount of toppings which is fine by me.

Sandwiches are always good here. I order the turkey, bacon ranch sandwich almost every time. It is my favorite and never disappoints. They have a great selection of chips and I love the coke freestyle machine. So many drink options.

Very good sub, good service
Plenty of meat, pleasant suprise, first visit.
Much better than most competitors

My coworker recommended getting the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket for lunch. The sandwich is beef brisket smoked for 16+ hours, cheddar, mayo, and Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce.
I took his cue of ordering the sandwich without the mayo.
No regrets on this sandwich. That sauce is lightly sweetened but did not overwhelm or overpower the sandwich.
ENJOY!
P. S. Order your sandwich ahead of time and then go pick it up. The line is out the door during lunchtime, seriously!

We came in late afternoon, missing both the lunch and dinner crowds. First time eating at a Firehouse Subs, I took a little extra time looking over the menu and options. Fortunately, the employees were patient and courteous the whole time, which was great.
We ended up splitting a foot long Engineer sub with turkey, swiss, and mushrooms, chips and drink. Yeesh, the combo ended up to be over $ 12 which is pricey for a sub sandwich for 1 person, but it was definitely plenty of food for 2. Some additional toppings are free, and they had a host of hot sauces with a few barbecue sauces to customize it even further.
I couldn’t eat here everyday for lunch but I prefer subs over the more traditional sandwich and soup spots.

Really wet (but delicious) sub that I seriously doubt was 450 calories. My god, there was a whole turkey under that bun. Not as clean as I’d like and the staff was entirely put out by us «newbies». Sorry I’m a subway girl and used to pointing and grunting at my veggies. Tasty so I’ll give a different location a try again.

This place is just as good as any other firehouse subs. I go with the Italian on wheat very solid sub.
Not sure about the parking there I had the sandwich dropped off by a friend.

Best meatball sub. light marinara. some on the side… yummmy. the meal for 1 person does tend to be on the high for deli style subs. For now it is my go to shop for my meatball sub.
I gave it three stars for the price and because it never fails i always gave to wipe down my table before having a seat. Always crumby and ate on from previous folk.
Next time i go back i will get a free pickle bucket for when i donate 2 $ dollars to charity!

Moved to NC from CT. I wanted to try this place out hoping it was like a deli with fresh meat and bread. Subs tasted just like subway to me, except more expensive. Nothing like a northern deli shop.

(3÷12÷14) I had a great Italian sub today. It was superbly crafted by Mandy. It was delicious hot but I could only eat half of it. So I took the other half home in a container. I ate it for lunch the next day and surprisingly it tasted even better cold.
(3/14/14)Fast forward to today. I’m having another Italian sub jointly crafted by Mike Shingle & Greg Gimon. As usual it was very well made and delicious.
(03÷15÷14) Mike and Greg are working second shift again today. What to have what to have… I again decided on an Italian sub. It was good to see Matt back behind the counter. He really makes customers feel welcome. The sub as usual was very tasty and prepared just right. Nice work guys!

This place has the old firehouse theme nice and clean. Very friendly staff seem to live what they are doing. I got the hook and ladder. I forgot they put mayo on it I hate mayo. But I scraped it off and added mustard and hot sauce. It was quite good. I will be back here. I recommend checking this place out.

I had the brisket sandwich. It was good. I ordered a combo which was 10 $. I paid for 3 people and it was 32 $. The food is alright. You can go to Harris teeter and get a footling sub anyway you want for 5 $. Never going to firehouse again.

I am a big fan of the Firehouse chain. I am a whore for corned beef, and most that I have had from the various locations is tender and not stringy.
Located at the corner of South Blvd and Woodlawn, in the same shopping center as Home Depot, be on the lookout for this small shop or you may pass it.
My NY Steamer (corned beef and pastrami with cheese, mayo, mustard and italian dressing) hit the spot. Eaten with their Cherry Limeade and a bag of the new Ruffles Ultimate Sweet & Smoky chips, I enjoyed my meal. I also purchased a limited run S’mores brownie. It was okay, though dense and a little dry.
Firehouse costs a bit more than their sub competitors, and take a bit longer to receive, but it is a delicious change from boring. Their hot subs are tender and juicy, served hot and delicious. Firehouse also has online ordering now for various locations, including this one — so if you are in a rush, or need a big order, utilize the Online Ordering via their website. Good stuff, I have been coming here for years and will definitely return.

My sandwich was soggy my lettuce was scarce and it was shredded so thin it just made everything wet! a foot long with three thin tomato slices yuck
the pastrami was seasoned well but the bread was so gross that all i ate out of the sandwich was the meat and onions?
just a waste basically

Sub was ok, not as good as quiznos, but the old bald guy could not get an order right! Messed up twice so I just took the sub, then heard a lady complain about tomatoes right after… so, check it out if you want, but Quiznos is better, IMHO.

Friendly service! Excellent Subs!
12pm visit on a Saturday
Food trays delivered once ready. The staff check on you to see if everything is okay with your meals. Military was out for lunch. I had no idea a base was nearby but there was no line when we arrived. A staff member was nice enough to help me choose a good sub based on my preferred taste in delimeats. These are more hearty than subway. Fresh and light bread. No heavy or bulgy feeling after eating. Nutritional information on the company’s website. Clean restroom.

The subs here are wonderful. Full of flavor and just plain FULL. Unlike some other sub places that put a couple slices of meat and a cheese on a roll, Firehouse stuffs their sandwiches. They also steam their meats which is an added touch. The rolls come out soft and chewy.
This location gets busy for lunch so be prepared to wait to order. Also they have one of those new computerized coke dispensers so be prepared to wait for that as well. If you’re an newbie to these machines, it may take a minute or two to figure out what to do. But you get the hang of it.
This is probably one of the 3 better sub chains in my opinion.

The bread is awesome and they have baked Lay’s potato chips which I haven’t seen in a long time. Plus they have the super powerful salt & vinegar chips which I like when I need a punch of flavor.
So far I’ve only tried the standard ham and turkey but it was so good I’ll be back for more. Can’t wait to try the club or Italian on the next visit. 8 bucks for a combo is higher than Subway but on par with Jimmy John’s, and a lot less fuss than Quizno’s.

Really delicious subs — way better than anything you would get at Subway and better than Quizno’s too! Firehouse offers a couple of different meats that you won’t see at the other sub places — corned beef brisket and pastrami — so avoid the usual ham and cheese. Firehouse also does things a little differently than Quizno’s — they steam the meat and cheese first.
Taking the order to go, I got the «Hook & Ladder» for myself (ham and turkey with Monterrey Jack cheese) and the «Engineer» (smoked turkey and sauteed mushrooms) for my wife. Both were what they call «fully involved» which means, as you can guess, with all the usual toppings.
While the staff was friendly and the sandwiches were excellent, by the time I had driven them five minutes to get home, they had become a little soggy. I’m sure that it is the steamer that does it. No biggie — have it «eat in» rather than «to go.»
Try something different!
