Limited inside dining available
Andrea H.

I headed to Athens to grab a bite to eat during the weekend before the first Covid Thanksgiving. I was horrified at all of the people gathered in groups downtown and walking around without masks, so I headed back home. On my way, I passed by Firehouse Subs. They were well lit, and because of the glass windows, I could see inside and was relieved to see only a few people there. It seemed like many individuals get their order to go, and most ordered in advance. There was a couple sitting at a table inside without masks, but they were dining in. There was also a nurse who showed up to order something to go, but she was wearing a mask. The place was large enough that we could easily spread out and maintain plenty of distance from one another. Lots of the tables and chairs that would fill the space in front of the counter were stacked out of the way to allow customers to keep their distance. All of the staff were wearing masks and were actively engaged in making sandwiches most likely for those "to go" orders. I scanned the menu and settled on a classic meatball sub with marinara. It was hearty and hit the spot. The bread was perfectly soft and fresh. I didn't have to work to tear off rubbery chucks nor did the bread disintegrate under the weight of the meatballs and juicy red sauce. It was served in a sturdy eco clamshell that was ideal for eating ones meal on the go. There was outdoor seating, but it was a bit cold and poorly lit, so I opted to dine in my car instead. I enjoyed looking at the decor while I waited for my order. Firehouse Subs had protective fire gear such as helmets, jackets, pants, and fire hoses adorning the walls. When the manager was ringing up my order, he asked if I wanted to make a donation to the firefighters. I can't remember the exact amount, but it was around .58 cents. I said, "Yes" and I imagine others would too because it is such a small amount (perhaps the difference between your meal's change and the next whole dollar amount). In any case, what a great idea. It goes with the theme of the restaurant, and definitely goes to a good cause. One of the signs on the walls indicates that a portion of all sales goes to the firefighters. What a great, feel-good business plan. I look forward to coming back and trying some of the other goodies they offer here.

Chopped Italian chicken salad

These guys are open 24hours which felt like a miracle for someone who had to find dinner super late after being on the road for hours. I'm guessing that drunk college kids (or those responsible ones who are up late studying) also feel just as excited to have late night nosh options available. I resisted the urge for a big ol' sub sandwich and opted for a lighter dinner ... the Italian chicken chopped salad. Holy cow! The portion size was incredibly generous and the ingredients were tasty. Little bites of chicken, small clumps of salami, tiny cubes of cheese, olives, tomatoes, etc. It was perfectly chopped and mixed. The crew working when I arrived were happy, high spirited and friendly. I actually ended up visiting with one of the guys as he shared some great ideas on places I should check out while in town. Fantastic! I got my food to-go but this would be a fine place to sit down and eat. Not fancy. Not pretentious. Easy going and healthier than fried fast food.

As I've said before, I'm not really into reviewing restaurant chains because generally you know what you're gonna get when you go to a chain restaurant. The service, cleanliness and food may vary from spot to spot but in general a McDonalds is a McDonalds is a McDonalds. I like for my Yelp reviews to hit places that are not in every town or a concert venue or something like that. But I'm open to reviewing chains that do something really bad or really good. This Firehouse Subs gives on-duty EMS free drinks with purchase. That may not seem like much but its a nice gesture and saved me $2 off my meal. As far as the sandwiches, they destroy Subway, not in size or price but taste and quality.

Good service, glad to find a Firehouse opened for 24 hours here. It was empty on an early Monday morning, so we ordered pretty quickly and got a table. The wait was okay, and the employees were nice enough to deliver the sandwiches straight to the table. I ordered the smokehouse beef brisket, which was a little over sauced and the meat was a tiny bit dry, though not a big deal. Hot sauce game at this spot was still strong, even though the ratings for the spiciness were off. However, the variety of hot sauces were great, ranging from West Indian style to sweet chili Thai. Service wasn't bad as the other reviews made it out to be, so I'm not sure what the discrepancy is.

Night shift is awesome!  They know me by name when I come in. Always super friendly.

I love the location on Chase Street! The food is healthy yet filling! The staff is friendly and…read morehelpful! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming! Overall when I'm tired of feeling sluggish and gross from eating on the go, I turn to Maepole! For the same price as fast food I can have fresh, quality nutrition!

First time here and recommended by a colleague. I was a little concerned about dining out in Athens…read moreduring a busy Saturday afternoon but fortunately the N Chase location is perfectly tucked away, distant enough from the downtown area. I was 3rd in line and pleasantly surprised + pleased. Think Chipotle meets Chopt (the salad bar ). Fresh ingredients. LOTS of mix and match options OR preset menu items. And just as many drink options, including locally made kombucha. I ordered the winter salad and low country plates. With the exception of the turmeric ginger dressing (a little too zesty for me) and the hoppin John salad (hoppin John OR salad ... not both ) EVERYTHING was delicious. I enjoyed the salad way more than I thought I would. The spicy avocado dressing is YUMMY! The greens were cooked to perfection - another shocker. The edamame crunch, tofu and crunchies were just as delicious. I will visit the Atlanta location just to try the fritters! A wonderfully healthy and scrumptious delight !
