She wanted Firehouse so that's what we went with: Cajun Chicken Sandwich, Meatball Sub, Engineer, Steak and Cheese Melt, and Honey Ham. Everyone wanted chips as well: Salt & Vinegar, BBQ (x2), and Jalapeño. Everyone also wanted a pickle spear, so they got those. We had a cooler full of beer, water, and other stuff, so we were good on drinks. Mom was good with everything, and so were we. As the saying goes, "If Momma ain't happy, Nobody's happy." Firehouse insured that we didn't have to live through that situation! Good job, guys!

I order it old school chicago style like how I was taught. Dry bun, no cheese (thats a indiana thing) hot giardinara (lots of it) and their red sauce to dip and pour on it. Gawd damn is it good.

There was a huge backup of people waiting for their orders. Each of these customers had 1 to 3 sandwiches in their order. Nothing crazy. I believe this location needs to work on their delegation of employee tasks. From what I saw, it seemed the whole staff was working on a catering order (except for 3 people just standing there) and none were working on the orders of those who physically came into the store. It led to a lot of disgruntled customers and a huge backup of orders. It's wild that I had to wait 20 minutes for a sandwich smaller than my husband's p***s (both girth and length). This could've easily been mitigated by assigning one or two people on in-person orders while the lunch rush was happening. From start to finish our sandwiches took about 1 minute to make, and we shouldn't have had to wait 20 minutes. Please consider the organization of tasks at this location.

There is a man that works here named Jake and he's a real French word. He disrespected us (20 people) in front of my grandmother on her birthday. It was over cold air blowing on us and all we wanted was to have it turned down but Jake came out and really handed us one. I don't understand how a business can hire and let a man work here with that kind of attitude. The only reason I'm giving this place a one star is because of Jake and because it doesn't let me do zero stars. If your the owner I really advise you to fire this man. The other employees who witnessed it were apologizing like crazy and I felt bad for them. read more

The quality of food still feels like they belong in the old run down Portage mall where they used to be. We tried them once in the old location didn't care for their food. I made the mistake of giving them the benefit of the doubt since they went upscale and regretted it later. JJ's and Gelsosomo's beat them hands down. read more

It's a corner lot and has its own parking lot. I was really surprised that we went on a random Friday night and were able to get in. It's not very large, but it seemed like they got people in and out pretty quick. I was told the garlic knots were amazing and the Alfredo sauce to die for. My friend was not wrong. I'd say the show stealer were the garlic knots. you had to pay extra for the Alfredo sauce but it was worth it. It was so good, I could've drank it. The knots were tender and covered in butter, cheese and garlic. Yum. The pizza crust was good, but I don't think the meatball topping was the best choice for me. We also got a side of onion rings because they were beer battered and I always have to try beer battered onion rings. It's very hard to find good ones and these definitely rank in the top 3 or 4 for me. I was disappointed that they didn't come with any sauce but there was a decent amount of them and they were super crispy. Very basic restaurant in a college area and with a visit for sure. If we go back I'll try one of their entrees.

Even on packed nights, they only have a couple servers, but the servers are fast. They really know how to hustle. It's pretty crowded in there on some nights places set up decently has a little stage in front in case they want to have a band. I like going there on Friday nights for karaoke. Just a heads up the place is super packed on a Friday evening, karaoke starts at seven and ends at 11. Everybody in their brother comes there for that to sing or just to sit and listen to other sing. The nice thing is is that since it is at a pizza place and it starts at seven anyone can sing, including children. The cutest youngest little girl I have seen sing did the K-pop demon hunters one of the songs from Matt and she was so adorable! Other kids have gotten up there and wow! They've blown me away with their voices and I feel funny going up there after them. There is a range of singers from new people that aren't the best at singing, but they love to sing and that's great! It takes a lot of courage to go up there. Everyone is super supportive and claps because like I said it's really hard to even go up there to even sing so the courage is really appreciated.
