Firehouse Subs

My favorite place in town for a big lunch salad. The subs are warm and good too but the salad is fresh, and large.

Based on my sole experience, I’m not sure if I like this place, yet. I ordered an Italian sub because, as far as I’m concerned, that’s the only sub that exists. Their take has a few distinct elements that seem to work against it. First, the roll is just WAY to soft. I got mine to go and after a 12 minute drive it was just plain flaccid and mushy. Second, they must be using a honey ham because it was SWEET! Way too sweet. An Italian sub should be slightly spicy and «hammy» (Capicola is best), not sweet. Third, the dressing definitely had horseradish in it. This ain’t a roast beef, y’all. Was it horrible? No, I ate the whole thing. BUT, when you order an Italian sub, you have a certain set of expectations and this failed to meet them. I will give them credit for having a very generous selection of hot sauces on the counter and especially for providing little cups and lids to take some to go. I love me some hot sauce. And the bang for the buck wasn’t awful, either. I’d try them again, but just not for that bizarro world attempt at an Italian sub.

Average Subs, filthy bathrooms, more expensive than Jimmy Johns.
Firehouse seems like a franchise place but with no oversight. Typical college kids running the place, they were nice, but didn’t seem like they knew much.
Not very fast, and the dinning room furniture could have easily been aquired at Big Lots.
It did have a Coke Freestyle machine.
The bathroom conditions will ensure that I don’t return. «Wet» floors around the toilet, no soap or paper towel. Even the mirror was dirty.
No surprise it was empty when every place else was packed.

Great food and tastes very fresh but the customer service is awful and the employees don’t come off as very friendly and it’s quite pricey.

10x better than subway. Very fresh tasting and the meat is STACKED on these subs. The brisket was awesome.

Great fresh family-​friendly sandwiches and the 120+ Coke dispenser is a hit with kids. TVs to watch sports. Clean, friendly, inviting. Open until 3 am on the weekends!
Of all the places our kids wanted to go for «linner» after visiting CMU, this was their choice. Yum!

I could be unlucky, but both times I’ve been to this Firehouse Sub’s location, I had a bad experience.
Ordered to go both times. First time, my girlfriend ended up with lettuce and tomato on her sub when she specifically said she didn’t want that.
That was a while back — still decent, but it’s not hard to just make the right sub…
So I go back today. With a softball tournament in town, they were busy, but I waited over 25 MINUTES for a simple sub — oh, and my sub was wrong! What a shocker! It comes with mushrooms and I asked for it loaded and I get a sub with a few slices of meat and some mayo on it — THAT WAS IT — for almost $ 7.
It’s sad. The place had potential and I’d imagine if they actually made my sub correct, I’d probably enjoy it. The biggest downfall for this place is not being able to see them making the sub — I can’t point out the 10 things they forget to put on!

Got the Italian Sub on whole wheat; and for something that should have been spicy, it was extremely bland and flavorless. The restaurant was busy, but all the people had already been served. and it took forever to my sandwich.

Super cool pop machine! All of the staff was very friendly, and the food was excellent. Our food was brought to our table for us. The environment was clean. I would definitely go again. The italian sub is to die for.

The subs here are hot and delicious but just a little bit pricey. Almost $ 9 for a regular size sub. There is only one soda machine but it’s a computerized one with a touch screen. There are over 120 soda flavor options. So, it can take a few minutes deciding what product you want and what flavor to add to it. There was a little line at the soda machine but by the time you got your drink, your sub was ready. They bring the sub to you. It was very busy when we went on a Saturday afternoon so it took about 15 minutes to get our subs. They have free plastic fireman hats for the kids to take, even teenagers were wearing them! lol I will be eating here again because their pricey subs are definitely a change from the boring subs at Subway.

Good food, it was very busy when I went in but we had our food in 5 minutes.
