One of the perks of giving blood is that you get free coupons. There was a coupon for getting a free medium-sized sub, no purchase necessary. I took about 10 coupons from the Red Cross. I must have went to Firehouse Subs ten times in a span of a month gh. They never once questioned why I had so many coupons. They don’t care. They understand that they are part of a franchise and there’s no reason to be so uptight about making money for a bunch of Jewish corporate heads who only care about making money. In fact, there was a customer small talking with one of the workers and the worker gave the customer the exact coupon I had just used. DONOTGETTHEHOTSUBS. They are not nearly as good as the cold sub; I cannot tell you the Alton Brown’s Good Eats reason behind it, but heat denatures the meat so it would not be able to properly bind to the correct receptors located on your taste buds. Get a cold sub, but do ask for your buns to be toasted. Last time, I asked my girlfriend to toast my buns, it led to one thing then another thing. You won’t regret it. At first, I only came here because i had coupons. And now, I still won’t come here. There is a Taco Bell right across the street. I could get 6 items for the price of one sandwich…

One thing I love about Firehouse Subs is that if you go on your birthday and show your ID they will give you a free regular sub. It is truly one of the things I look forward to when my birthday rolls around. This year was no different. I came to this location, presented my ID and asked for my free sub. «Not a problem, and Happy Birthday» was what I heard. I like that. It’s not all the time that you are wished a happy birthday when you present a birthday coupon or go to claim a birthday treat. I received my sandwich, the classic italian, and even splurged on a bag of chips and a drink. Another thing I like about Firehouse Subs is the consistency. The sandwich is always the same. Good job guys. It’s one place I can count on and they are nice, friendly people.

There is a lot of upside here. The sandwiches were good and the staff seemed earnest. That said we observed multiple orders going to the wrong people(even though orders had numbers on the tickets) and a staff that seemed very not confidant about what they were doing. Some training and constructive supervision would go a long way. Maybe we were unlucky in which shift we got…

Love this place. We do not get subs often but, when we do, I usually want to order from here. Everything on the menu we have tried so far has been excellent. I especially love the hot subs. If you can get in soon, before it goes away, I’d totally recommend the King’s Hawaiian Pork and Slaw sandwich. I also really love their meatball sub.

I came here for the first time the other day and I absolutely loved it! I got the limited offer King’s Hawaiian Pork and Slaw sandwich. It took a while for the sandwiches to come out, but the taste was definitely worth it and the staff was friendly. I tried a bite of the hoagie/sub that my boyfriend got, but it didn’t taste as flavorful as the Pork and Slaw sandwich though. We came around 5pm and was mostly empty, maybe 2 or 3 other people sitting down to eat. The décor was pretty interesting as well as the hot sauce ratings that they had. I would definitely recommend getting the King’s Hawaiian Pork and Slaw while it’s still there since it’s only there for a certain amount of time though.

Friendly staff, hot subs, delivery service, what’s not to love!!! I normally go for the meatball sub here. The cheese is nicely melted on perfectly seasoned meatballs and marinara sauce. My wife loves the engineer.

That New York Steamer… oh man! Such a good sandwich. I put a little A1 and some BBQ sauce on it and it was amazing. My boyfriend got the corned beef and cheese and he almost didn’t get a chance to enjoy it because I kept wanting to «taste» it. Very good sanwiches; glad we changed our plans and decided to give this place a try. Much better subs that that other place that has yoga mat materials in their«fresh baked bread». The staff was really great too. Always great to get welcomed into an establishment. Great experience overall. I’ll be back.

Great hot subs! I got the hero, and it was delish. We got a free sub for my husband’s birthday without signing up for anything. He just showed his ID.

Came in for a birthday sub promotion, and so glad we did. Delicious. A surprisingly unique and appetizing menu after feeling ‘subbed’ out from all the sub chains. Awesome décor dedicated to brave firefighters. Definitely a must try. Will return.

I recommend the steak and cheese. Cute décor from the original firehouse station, can buy a bucket for $ 2 and they donated to the fire department I believe.

Ok, first impression. I ordered the ham and turkey club with bacon; 2 my surprise the sandwich came with no bacon. A bit pricy, but nonetheless the sub was pretty darn good. Establishment was clean and staff were friendly.

Staffs are friendly. I def come back and try a different sub I always get the same thing but I’m very picky when it comes to trying different thins. The beef brisket is very good. I was telling my friend the bread is really soft and good that it’ is different from subway . For the people first time visit — combo comes with pickles and bag of chips huge large cup or medium Large is a foot long . I reccomend the bbq brisket. Bread choice: wheat or white. Wheat !!! Is very good
4 star price is kind of expensive. But good food and the future soda machine

The Germantown Fire House Subs had a great friendly atmosphere. I ordered a new sandwich the club, it was just alright. Probably just my personal taste. I am sure I would visit this location again.

To paraphrase an often-used saying … First impressions are everything. I’d seen many Firehouse Subs locations over the years, but I never was in a situation where eating at one would be an option. After visiting some friends in the area, I was starving and looking for something that was both tasty and outside the usual places. After driving a while with nothing that struck me, and getting close to 10PM on a weeknight, I saw Firehouse Subs and figured now was as good of time as any to try them. Unfortunately, my first experience at Firehouse was a resounding MEH, and they lost their chance to impress this sub lover. There was one resounding negative but before I go into that, let me go over the things that were not an issue. Cleanliness was not an issue, as it was 30 minutes before close and the staff had started to clean for the night. The staff was not an issue either — they were extremely polite and professional and did not make myself or the other last-minute diners feel rushed. They brought me my New York Steamer(corned beef and pastrami) after a slightly longer wait than anticipated, but that wasn’t an issue. Neither was the bread, which was warm, soft, and pretty yummy. The problem revealed itself as I continued into the sandwich. Something wasn’t right. At first, I thought that the really tasty bread was overpowering the sandwich. Then I thought that maybe the meat portions were too skimpy. But I soon began to realize that it was the meat itself. It was bland and flavorless. The«steamer» seemed to have all of the flavor«steamed» out of the meat. As meat fell from the sandwich to my plate, I found the corned beef and the pastrami indistinguishable. If you got a bite with some cheese and dressing, it didn’t taste bad. But taste the meat itself and be prepared to be underwhelmed and disappointed. I thought about giving three stars, and I guess I’d given them 2.5 for their positives, such as the staff and the tasty bread. But a sandwich is worthless unless ALL of the ingredients are quality. If you use great bread and fill it with crap, you’re gonna get a crappy sandwich on a nice roll. And that’s what I felt I got at Firehouse Subs. And there’s no way that can get over 2 stars from me.

Im an attorney and i work at a nearby law office. I look forward to lunch. I dont enjoy eating at new places. This is so that I might avoid the very things that occured to me here on 5÷14÷14. This place didnt destroy my day but did gross me out completely. I ordered the pulled pork thai chilli sub managers special. I wish i could upload the picture i took. It would explain –everything-. The pork was not so much pulled as it was completely masserated(like they put the pork through a belnder) and served as tiny strangely pink masserated(sp?) bits. It looked like vomit. No joke. It tasted like dog food or cat food or luchables. This pork paste was mixed up in the melted chese. I took one bite and threw the entire thing out. The taste was disgustingly salty. Very poor grade meat, it seemed. I will never go back there. I joined Unilocal in order to write this review… this is my first review.

Today was the grand opening for Firehouse so I really lucked out deciding to stop by here for lunch. They gave everyone who came in a free medium sandwich of their choice and a small drink. They mentioned that people were welcome to donate to a charity that helps support fire departments if they wanted to. I absolute loved this idea. Not only because free food tastes five times better, but also because it gives people a chance to try out a new place in the area while they train their employees. Obviously the employees are going to be a little slow the first day, but now no one cares because the food is free. Also it shows that the management has faith in their product, which I like. Ok, enough about free food,(I could talk about it all day) on to the restaurant itself. Firehouse has a nice layout and pictures of local fires being fought along with fire helmets and jackets on the wall, nothing too surprising, but nice. The menu had a lot of different choices and seemed priced at about the same place as most of their competitors(Quiznos, Subway, Jersey Mikes). I had the New York Steamer, which was Beef Brisket, Pastrami, and provolone. The sandwich was cooked well and delicious. The one problem was they only did medium sized subs today and it was not enough for me, so if you are hungry I would definitely go withe the large sub. The soda selection here is great. They have two coke freestyles, so you literally have a hundred different options. Also, Firehouse has different sized straws for the different drink sizes. It is a genius idea. I think firehouse will do very well in this location. There are a lot of sub places in Germantown, but none of them are that close to this location and I think Firehouse is at least as good as all the others. Try this place out it has great subs and one of the only coke freestyles in the area.
