Firehouse Subs

Since my last review, we’ve given Firehouse a second chance and I can say we’ve been quite happy with the food. However, Firehouse has now decided to put up a piece of paper barring law-​abiding citizens from carrying concealed firearms in their store for self defense. Obviously a piece of paper won’t stop anyone with criminal intent, so this sign only serves to make innocent people defenseless on the restaurants premises.
Thus, my family and I won’t be patronizing this store anymore. My friends, who also care about their right to self defense, will be made aware of Firehouse’s decision any time they suggest we eat there.

I usually attend on Sunday afternoons and there is always a long line– but the staff will get us all served very fast! Great menu variety and such a great service.

The food is delicious I got the meatballs sub and my hubby got the Beef brisket cheddar sub. It was yummmy, next visit I’m definitely getting the Brisket sub!

The subs are warm, large and delicious. I would return to have lunch or a light dinner. I would recommend the restaurant to family and friends. It is worth another dining experience and it’s cool how the kids leave with a fire helmet! The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly.

Delicious! We were waiting in line at Subway and decided to go big or go home so we came here. The subs are made correctly every time and their customer service is on fleek. We don’t have a Jimmy John’s here so this’ll do!

So good! I love the food here. The service is pretty quick, so it’s a good place to go for a lunch break. The staff wasn’t very friendly when I went, but my sandwich made up for it. The place seemed really clean.

This place was so good !
Super friendly service and the fountain drink machine omg!
The possibilities are endless

It’s been a few days since my visit here. But I went in for a late lunch and there weren’t many in the dining room. I was greeted at the door by the counter staff and was able to place my order immediately. I ordered the Hook and Ladder Light sandwich and some chips and soda. Another one of the «mix your own» Coke dispensers. If there’s no crowd, there’s usually no problem. It’s when there IS a crowd, there’s some people who have a difficult time figuring it out… or someone is wanting to do custom mixes and taking up a lot of time. That’s definitely a sidebar story.
Order came out, the sandwich was great (I will definitely order again) and I will be back. Between me and the reader… I prefer ordering my sandwich and going on to my table instead of having to stand there and order ingredient by ingredient. So I would prefer this style of sandwich shop to the super large chain. Simply say «I want this» pay and move on with life.
Great lunch. Friendly staff. Thanks Firehouse!

Food is delicious, the tables could stand to be cleaned more regularly though. They do stay packed with a light staff. Everyone is always super friendly. Best fountain drinks in town!
I love all of the local photos & décor.

The sandwiches are great for a quick meal. The male manager there seems to be great and super friendly.

Really enjoyed their sandwiches… only cause I was brought food from take out. Haven’t been myself. But the food is good.

Glad to see a firehouse subs restaurant in Corpus. Their subs are tasty and generously sized, plus they don’t bother with packing a sandwhich with lettuce. Get that green stuff outta here!

Greeted at the door off the bat creates a great environment, with a sleek menu selection and easy layout, also to mention the large scale of it on the wall, ordering is simplistic and a breeze. Staff was friendly and assertive and food was ready quick! Definitely a darn good sub! Recommend!

First off let me say nice facility and lively staff. But the bad review is for the wait and screw up. We ordered our food they said 5 – 7 min. 33 min they tell us they lost our ticket. We got our money back and left never to return NUFF said

Well, this is yet another national chain sandwich place that boasts «fresh» ingredients and great flavors. And while the bread is fresh and the menu is different, I can’t help but notice an incredible similarity to that OTHER nationally recognized chain sandwich place. You can get a sandwich in either white or wheat, that’s it. But, they range in size from a «light» wheat roll, to an 8″ and a 12″.
I had the New York Steamer which had corned beef, pastrami, provolone and dressings. It was an okay, hot sandwich but just didn’t have a «wow» that would make me want to run back and do it again sometime. There wasn’t a whole lot in the sandwich itself and the dressings seemed to take over the flavor. Doesn’t give warm fuzzies when the pickle spear raises the eyebrows more than the sub…
Now, one thing Firehouse Subs DOES have going for them are the myriad of bottled hot sauces that you can try, apparently ranging in scale from «1,» which is ridiculously mild — almost sweet, to an «8.» Yeah, some of those will get your attention while others have you asking, «This is an ‘8’?» because it has that slow build-​up that keeps building and building… Good sauces.
Otherwise, again, it’s a typical, cookie-​cutter franchise with the packaged chips, cookies and soft drinks. I’ll come back and give another one a try — some of their other sandwiches look appealing.

Initially, when this location was first opened, I would’ve rated this place better. However, there were some slight changes that I noticed over time. The first couple of times that I went, the portions were huge! The staff always greeted you as you entered the door and checked up on you occasionally while you were dining in. The location is well kept and has a nice atmosphere. I got the tuna salad sub and there was quite a large helping of tuna that came with it. Though a bit pricier than most sub places, it was definitely worth paying a bit more for the delicious variety of subs that they provide.
Over time, I noticed that the portions started getting smaller, almost to a point to where an entire sub barely kept me satiated. The staff became a bit less friendly — no more greetings or good customer service. Maybe it’s because they needed to cut back on food costs or hired less friendly employees at this location, but it’s definitely deterred me from going back and I’ve been going to other places for subs lately.

Mmm delicious big tasty subs! Had the brisket cheddar it was huge. Go check it out for yourself. Better than subway and same price!

I had the beef and cheddar sandwich and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very friendly and our orders arrived promptly. We will go back.
Welcome to Corpus Christi!

New York Steamer is delicious and the wheat sub roll was so fresh. I expected a little more pastrami and corned beef, however.

I ordered the Firehouse meatball sub and it was sooooooo good! This is my first visit here and I will return. I came from VA Beach and had Firehouse Subs from there. Glad to see it here in Corpus Christi..
