I wanted deli style sandwiches for my niece's birthday party. I ordered the morning off my party and it was ready ASAP. On top of that it was sooo delicious. Sylvie was sooo patient as I was putting my order in for this catered meal while I was driving from out of state to Maryland! read more

I continue to highly recommend Firehouse Deli!!! read more

Monday 3/24/25 I made an order over the phone for the steak & cheese ("works) $10.98, seasoned fries $3.50, fajita melt (grilled chicken) $9.89, and the Italian sub $9.89. The service was good both in person and over the phone. The lady taking my order was helpful and made sure I was all good when picking up the food. - The steak & cheese was alright and was even better with some BBQ sauce. I think the sub could've greatly benefitted from having a house sauce paired with it to make up for the meat's lack of flavorful juices that you would come to expect from a typical Philly. - The seasoned fries were solid, they get the job done. - The fajita melt was solid and the chipotle sauce on it highly elevated the experience. I'm going to need more of that Chipotle sauce, please. - Now I'm more of a hot sub guy over a cold sub guy so I'm testing the waters with the Italian sub. Luckily, the Italian sub is a solid option. It's made very well and the bread is fluffy. Overall, I'd best describe this spot as simple, basic food that's executed very well. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend a stop for a quick lunch or quick snack. read more

This place is an underrated gem! It's a little hole In the wall that'll make you feel like you're eating at a gas station but it somehow still feels cozy! They have a HUGE vegan menu and I've been looking for a little mom and pop sandwich shop since I moved to this area, because I had an AMAZING sandwich shop where I'm from. I'm absolutely delighted and angry I didn't try this place sooner. It was $34 to feed three people so the prices are also reasonable. Your order is taken old fashioned style and it may take a second to get your order if they're busy but I'm sure if you order ahead the wait isn't so long, since we ordered at the restaurant. SO worth it though. read more

Arrived not very hungry and based on Yelp reviews, chose the Steak and Work and was very impressed with the flavor, quality of the meat, and very soft roll. The shop looks to be truly mom-n-pop and adds to its charm. Also, really appreciate a very un-intrusive tipping box that actually shields the cashier-mom from seeing if and how much anyone tipped - very considerate. Back to the food: the Steak and Work is way better than the famous and overhyped Geno's Philly Cheese Steak and is a steal at less than $11. read more

I was in Germantown for an appointment and found this cute deli here on Yelp! I had to visit and see what all the buzz was about! The deli is in an office building right next to a Citibank banking office. There are a few designated parking spaces to run in and grab some yummy food. It was mid-morning on a Tuesday, so it wasn't too busy. I was greeted immediately upon entering the deli and placed my order. The Lady was very friendly and patient while I ordered breakfast (bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin) and lunch (yummy tuna sandwich on a croissant) for later. Yummy food and great service for sure! And the deli looked to be very clean! read more

I can't believe I never dropped a review. My go to here is the 9 "vegan Italian ( no cheese). The owner is always pleasant and the sub is always delicious. The space inside is limited so it's best to order to go. They offer vegan cupcakes for those plant based people with a sweet tooth and have a variety of beverages to choose from ( get a fresh smoothie while you're at it). Service is smooth and wait time is reasonable. There are plenty of sandwich options for vegans and no vegans will do just fine here. A gentleman ordered a steak and cheese before me and it looked great! Stop by when you're in the area. No need to go to the green and yellow down the street. read more

Staying at a nearby hotel, we needed a quick and easy spot for lunch before heading down into DC. I spotted this unassuming place in an unassuming building which had really terrific reviews...so what the heck, let's go for it! Sooooo glad we did! My wife ordered an avocado cobb salad with ranch dressing which she raved about; it hit all the right notes! I ordered one of my deli go-to's, the club sandwich on toasted wheat which I upgraded to a combo including a fountain drink and fries. You could also choose the main meat, I went with turkey. This club sammy was perfect...toasty crisp bread, just the right amount of mayo and fresh meats and veggies. I could not eat it fast enough! And those fries...oh, those fries. Not sure if they batter then and fry 'em or maybe they double fry them because they were so crispy on the outside and tender inside. This was just what we needed to fuel up before heading down to our nation's capitol and a weekend of fun with our daughter. read more

Truly the best office deli!! Service is exceptional, they do their absolute best each time to accommodate you. If your sandwich gets cold while they're waiting for your side, they'll warm it back up! The food is always great- the fries are perfection and their ingredients are fresh. It's always a pleasure coming in and I would genuinely recommend their food anytime. Vegan options, tasty ingredients, a huge menu, the warmest people, it doesn't get better than that. read more

Honestly, one of my favorites delis in the area. I got to know the owners there and they are extremely nice. The wraps are amazing. I like their turkey ranch and italian sub. Everything is just fresh. The woman told me that the catering business is slow because the office jobs are starting to become More remote and people who work at the office isnt ordering catering as much. The business been around for 12 years. So I dont want them to shut down. The food is reasonably priced too. They are not stingy with the toppings. read more

Finally found hidden gem deli spot with vegan options in the area that serves for both of breakfast and lunch! I've ordered vegan Italian sub for lunch and it tasted really good. I was pretty impressed with the portions and flavors. The service was welcome and friendly when I first walked in. I'm beyond THRILLED that they have good options for vegan subs/wraps and definitely will come back and try other vegan subs. Think it's now one of my favorite deli spots. This spot could be overlooked and has small space but with the character in it, which I liked it. Looking forward for my remaining visits! read more

Seriously underrated deli!! I ordered the classic reuben (they have variations and other cool specialities). I was kinda expecting not much cause you know, sometimes good Reubens are hard to come by, but this was melt-in-your mouth fresh and tasty. I feel like the quantity was really solid too for the price. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Cute mom & pop shop - lovely staff. I like how it's also vegan friendly. I'll definitely be back for more read more

They won my veggie heart! I was thrilled to find a deli who had plant based options because non meat eaters understand how hard it seems to be to find local spots who offer them! I actually don't like most faux meats even as a plant based person but when I got the vegan Italian sub I had to run back inside to make sure it wasn't real meat lol! It wasn't, and y'all the sammich was the bomb! I'll be a regular at this spot moving forward! Love this spot!! Going back to try the vegan meatball sub soon! (They have many options for non vegans too). read more

Firehouse Deli - Vegan Italian sub! Yum! (I removed the vegan turkey only because I prefer just the Italian "meat" only in the sandwich). - Sandwiches Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

A shout out to Momma Kat or Rachel H, this deli has vegan options out the yin yang. I was in the office building for a doctors appointment, absolutely starving, so I asked the nurses at the front desk if they had ever eaten at Firehouse Deli? They said that they had eaten there and really liked it. Being a good Yelper, I read the reviews and they were excellent. So, I stopped by and ordered a BLT with fries. A quick apology to my vegetarian and vegan friends, but it was tasty and packed with bacon. The fries were good too. They had a little spice on them that gave them a kick. The service was great and they make your orders fresh, in order of how they were placed. Mine was piping hot and ready to go in about 5 minutes. This is really a shout out to my vegetarian and vegan friends, " This place has so many choices for you! " Firehouse Deli caters to vegan and vegetarian eaters. Peeps like me, it is good! But, if you are a food purest and have dietary restrictions, heaven has opened its doors for you, at this restaurant! read more

I tried the Vegan Rueben sub and WOW so delicious!! Their selection of Vegan options is fantastic. I can't wait to try more!!

One of my favorite local spots in Gburg. All their items are well crafted, delicious tasting and fairly healthy. Their crispy chicken wraps are my personal favorite but go with whatever looks most appealing to you-- it won't disappoint. Even my girlfriend's vegan sandwiches are hearty and flavorful! Seasoned fries are also money read more

The hours posted online differ from those on the front door... either way I'm here during an open window only to walk up to the door and see that they are actually closed until Tuesday (9/6/2022). Don't believe the hours that you read anywhere they appear to open and close at will. read more

Firehouse Deli - Bacon and Avocado Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Gaithersburg, Maryland

I have passed by this place many times and now regret it. The first point is they get is that they are a local establishment. I always love going local. So I needed food as I had neglected attaining sustenance at an appropriate time and luckily FD was there. Remember this place is quick, easy convenient food that would primarily cater to a lunch rush. If you want to be a foodie snob then GTFO. So with that in mind I had a delicious gyro sandwhich and was made quickly by a lovely polite lady behind the counter. I look forward to going here again not out of being hangry but out of choice. read more

This is a great authentic deli. Big menu, fresh ingredients, fast service, friendly and fair prices. There are so many crap "beer, wine, delis" around us that it's nice to find a place you can trust to make you a solid sandwich. The sandwich sizes are fair, what you'd make at home. It isn't going to be one of those huge sandwiches that you have trouble finishing, but they also don't charge $10 for a sandwich. If you're still hungry get a second serving or a bowl of homemade soup. It's a great place that does not have a front that would draw you in. I've driven past this place for years and I'm glad I finally stopped. I'll be a regular now for sure. There were a handful of small tables inside, a lunch counter to eat at, and three large tables outside. I felt like a tuna melt today so they grilled one up for me and it was perfect. Very good tuna fish that wasn't heavy on the mayo or celery taste. Perfect. I tried the MD crab soup which was also good. I saw someone else order one of the salads and that looked fresh and well sized. Give it a try. If you like a good deli, you won't be disappointed! They take pride in their food. read more

The reviews made me hope for more, a lot more. The food here is not my cup of tea, and in fact, I wish I had ordered more to comment on more, because, I do not wish to ever return. They have vegan food like meatballs, fake chicken, burgers (3 types of patties, one is Boca) and steak, all of which I imagine is from a local grocery store's frozen food section. In a nutshell, this place charges me for food that I could make on my own without being awake or knowing what I am cooking or even doing. It's fine for the home cook to make sandwiches like this and drag it to your weekday lunch, but to charge for it, though not a high price, well, it doesn't make me very happy. Let me state that the vegan food isn't terrible, though my sandwich was toasted so the bread was black in certain parts.... but it tastes like they just wanted to make some vegan options but didn't realize that vegan frozen meat substitutes tastes horrible just heated in the microwave with generic sauce/garnish/ condiments on top and placed on a plate for you. The salad choices are not vegan, but you could conceivably ask them to build you one with iceberg lettuce and the vegetables they have (avocado, mushroom, onion, tomato, bell peppers), but they will probably charge you about $8-9 for it because several of those ingredients seem to be "premium" $0.50 additional charge for their presence in your food. They have fried items like french and sweet potato fries, but, given the small scale of this operation, I would bet that they fry it with the other food items, so the flavors probably carry over to negatively impact the fries. So, if you need a vegan sandwich because you're here and are not allowed to go anywhere else, ok, you'll survive, but you will probably need something healthful and tasty every meal for the next week to make up for the insult to your palate and health here. If you are happy with vegan junk food that you can make on your own but are too lazy to do so, then, you will be very happy here. However, for the non-vegans, this place was very popular for its size and location. People just keep coming in for the sandwiches on white bread with iceberg lettuce and cheese/ mayo/ meat, etc. So, maybe it's great for non-vegan eating, but......... I can't comment on that. read more

I got a turkey sub, BLT on wheat and a orange mango smoothie. The turkey sub was tasty. The bread could have been better. The BLT was amazing!!! Was stealing bites from my son's sandwich. The smoothie was delicious-not too sweet. Service was really good and friendly. Will be back when we go to the park for lunch and need sandwiches. read more

Ordered a variety of subs/wraps for an outdoor baby shower. They were very accommodating, wrapped each half fully and color coded them so our guests knew what they were. Everything tasted good and was super fresh. While they were not completely ready at the agreed upon pick up time (had to wait 20 mins or so), it still worked out well and would definitely recommend. read more

I love this place and I usually order the Buffalo chicken wrap! Great customer service and food

I have been to Firehouse Deli about 100 times. Not once have they made a mistake on my orders, which I consider a major achievement as my family and I customize the heck out of our subs! Subs and fries are always great and consistently good. Staff is professional and nice. I should probably try more variety from their super long menu, but I like my staple subs too much to deviate. read more

Not only do I love the food, but I love the staff as well!! They remember your likes and dislikes. I normally order the Thai Chicken Wrap which is fresh and flavorful, but I've tried many other menu items as well.
