Firehouse Subs

(NO Wi-​Fi!)
Just ate there for the first time and could not wait to write this review. I decided on the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket after a recommendation from my friend. This sub is seriously amazing. The white bread was a bit flaky, and warm, tasted fresh. The cheese, barbecue sauce, and brisket went perfectly together. The brisket was hot and seemed like it was made fresh. There was something about the brisket that I can’t put my finger on that made it taste so good. Like imagine half fresh deli, half barbecue restaurant, together in one.
Every once in a while, I look for new places to fall in love with and exclusively spent my money there; So much so that they even start to remember my name and favorite order. Previously it was Market Barbecue after it just opened up, but I last went there a few months ago after getting tired of it and their increasingly cold brisket. After trying Firehouse Subs today, it instantly became my new favorite restaurant with the first bite! I got the regular size sub (About 8 inches), and at $ 10+ it is a bit pricey for it’s size, but it’s just big enough to fill you up without feeling bloated. Speaking of first bite, they have a huge poster on their menu with a guarantee that says if you do not love it after the first bite, they’ll refund your money!
The medium drink is such a huge size, very happy with it; And speaking of drinks, this place has one of the new CocaCola touch screen machines, which are found everywhere in Austin, but only a few places here in Laredo, definitely a Plus! since you can choose any soda + any flavor add-​ins such as vanilla/​cherry/​lime/​etc. The meal combo comes with the drink and a small bag of chips (About the same selection of chips you would find at a Subway), but since I don’t care for chips, doesn’t affect the review (Although I would’ve preferred if this place served fries or something).
The place was is one of the cleanest places around (Deserves a 5-​star rating on it’s own!) The bus boy was cleaning everything he can, and also takes the tray as soon as you’re finished eating. Don’t you hate other places that leave the tables dirty until someone comes in and wants to sit there? (Looking at you, Taco Palenque!) — Also the bathroom was in pristine condition! Besides a few dried water droplets on the faucet from other customers, it was obvious that the employees took great pride in having even the bathrooms so clean.
I will definitely go back as many more times as I can, money willing. My biggest regret is not getting the larger sub (12+ inches) for $ 2.50 more.

Subway, Quiznos, etc dont come close to this place. Meatball is my go to here. Service was good, very clean place.

This place is ten times better then Quiznos and subway. The food tastes fresher and you can tell they take a lot more time to make it look as it does in the pictures.

Food was at best OK. I ordered a three meat sandwich and all the meats taste alike. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again but I will go back to try other sandwiches. The service was good and the staff friendly. The facility was cramped and trying to refill our drinks was a challenge.

Super duper delicious subs, excellent quick service, friendly staff, OMG the sweet tea! Always get the New York Steamer sub!
