A representative brought Firehouse Subs to our office for a meeting presentation. Sandwiches were good. I had the turkey sandwich. The bread was lightly sweet and went perfectly with the turkey meat. The cookie in the sandwich box was amazing. It was so fresh and I can really tell. I love cookies but am super picky and I loved the chocolate chips cookie that came in the box. Sandwiches can use a bit more meat. read more

It's been ages since I last had Firehouse sub and I needed to satisfy my sub craving. Ordered a medium Italian and had sticker shock. It cost me $16 just for the sub alone. I was on my way home anyway and didn't need the chips or soda. It tasted really good, they don't skimp on anything but the price was just surprising. read more

Well I don't know how a sub sandwich can be messed up, but I found that out today. Order a large turkey bacon, ranch sandwich, and it was almost all mayonnaise or ranch dressing I guess and falling apart couldn't even hold it. Needed a knife and fork to get through the mess that it was. I mean, slipping and sliding . It fell apart into a big mush pile. Wayyy too much " dressing". Couldn't even taste the turkey. $21 for a Large pile of yuck. And the side of Mac and cheese had been sitting around for way too long and was also drowning in liquid cheese goo. Me and wife will not be going there again. Seriously bummed. read more

Heard about Firehouse when doing Door Dash. So had to try it out. This place is across the street from a 7-11 and in a plaza where there's Pizza joint as well. Plenty of parking but limited if want to park near the place Inside is inviting and it's very red. It's similar to Subway but the difference there's a hot sauce stand. Meaning there are variety's of hot sauce to sample and available to purchase if you like it. Service was excellent because the cashier was honest on answering first timers questions and concerns Got the French Dip Large Combo with chips and soda. Chose the hottest sauce: deep canyon co sizzling scorpion. The sandwich is big for most people and its little big than subway foot long. Sizzling scorpion is hot but not enough to tickle you if you are spicy lover. Overall, it's good and recommend on trying if want something different than subway read more

I had been craving a turkey gobbler sandwich and had to go on the hunt to find one- it's hard to find! Firehouse Subs had one and it was perfect! The right amount of turkey, cranberry, and gravy. It's only for a limited time though, so you gotta catch it when they have the sandwich in store! I gotta come back and try out the other sandwiches! Download their app too for the rewards program and coupons. I'm always a fan of those. read more

Firehouse Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I love Firehouse Subs, but this particular location is my favorite! I've never been unhappy with anything I've eaten here. My fave is the Hook and Ladder Sub (note: add a slice of cheddar if you're a fan of cheese). The customer service from all of the employees is superior. However, I do feel there is one crew member who goes out of his way to go above and beyond to make sure everything goes just right. Nate T. has a great positive attitude, pays attention to detail, and always works hard. Gotta give props where props are due. Thank you, Nate! It smells great right when you walk in the door and all of the firehouse memorabilia is cool to check out, particularly because they have stuff from the Costa Mesa Fire Department and its history. If you're in the area and feeling hungry, this is definitely a place you wanna stop to fill your tummy. Full. Happy. Satisfied. read more

Likes: + Nice place for a convenient, healthier American sandwich. + I like how each sandwich comes with a pickle. Nice touch. Taste goes well together. Other sandwich shops don't have that. + Plenty of parking & indoor seating. + Nice soda/ice water machine. Non-likes: - Misleading availability. The app said they have potato soup and chicken soup. I ordered the chicken soup. Then when I arrived, the bag was ready for pickup. I quickly grabbed it and drove off. 5 min later, realized there's no soup in my bag! Drove back and inquired. They explained and offered chili in place of the missing chicken soup. There were various instances they could've prevented my time and gas being wasted: 1) if something's unavailable, update the app so it lets the customer know the item is out of stock. 2) instead of placing the bag on the pickup rack, keep it on the inside counter. So when the customer arrives, the customer doesn't just quickly grab the bag and go; the employee gets a chance to explain and accommodate. 3) write a note on the bag mentioning the out-of-stock item and to inquire an associate about accommodations. read more

The sub variety is very good. The service is great. Why did the owner stop being part of the T-Mobile Dining Rewards ?? We eat here so much I would get money back every few months. read more

Sometimes I just crave a nice meatball marinara sub. I NEVER eat subs. Never ordered jersey mikes, subway, or any other sandwich sub place. I only order the meatball marinaras here. Maybe it's because I'm an EMT and I get a free drink and chips! Definitely worth it. read more

I usually get Jersey Mikes but I wanted to try a new sandwich place so I decided to order here through DoorDash. There was a hair inside my sandwich a short brown hair and I have blonde hair. So I had to stop eating my sandwich and I also ordered a brownie. I was like oh well about the sandwich but at least I have a brownie and that's hard to mess up....well clearlllyyyy they don't switch out their brownies when they expire because when I opened the brownie it crumbled apart. It was dry and the flavor was awful. I was so sad because I just really wanted to enjoy my lunch. I guess it's time to return to Jersey Mikes and I suggest yall do too. read more

Firehouse Subs - The hair on my sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Wow ! This place has some better sandwiches than subway in my opinion. The Turkey Bacon sandwich was so full of flavor and fresh. I love that the bread didn't feel refrigerated, but rather light and fluffy. The service was quick and friendly. Love that it's not busy inside so you can sit and enjoy your meal. Definitely coming back. read more

Food: I have never been here before and I came on a T-Mobile free sub with purchase offer. I'm glad I got to experience these amazing sandwiches. Before the my to go sub chain was Jersey makes but that has now changed. The Hook & Ladder was sooo tasty and I highly recommend. The ham had a flavor I never tasted before. Service: Natural the people here were helpful and friendly. Can't expect anything less coming from a chain that supports our local hero's, fireman... if you didn't already guess that. Ambiance: The inside is decorated with Fireman history and tools all around l. The style I would imagine resembles that of a fire truck/station hybrid. I was at first confused as to why the tables surface was decorated in a cow pattern..... until it hit me it was a Dalmatian pattern Awesome attention to detail! read more

This place has gone down hill, let's just say. Not sure how this place still maintains 4 stars. I have had a bad experiences the last two times I have been here.. I ordered the Italian sub. It was sopping wet and I mean soggy like a sandwich in a cooler at the beach that gets water logged... you know what I'm talking about. I had picked up my first sandwich in a to go order so I called and let them know it was inedible due to how soggy it was. They said they would take my name down for a replacement sandwich at a later date.. okay fine. I realize now I should've just asked for a refund... Today I call in an order for pick up change the sandwich just in case that was the issue because they do put Italian dressing on the one I had ordered previously...I also asked them to toast the bread this way there would be no way there would be any soggy bread.. right? Or so I thought! Haha this time I got a club sandwich with just lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on it. Well it's missing the tomatoes but no big deal.. Nothing on my sandwich should be wet... Right!?. So I get to my house and I am opening my sandwich to eat it and when I tell you this bread is legitimately soggy and it's nowhere near toasted like this bread should be toasted it's not even close to toasted. There is no way this bread was toasted so I don't know what their definition is, but this is not it and this is a cold sandwich, so I'm very confused how it could be soggy as they didn't steam the meat as they do with some hot sandwiches.. nonetheless, check out the video to see how soggy my poor sandwich was. Also... I had taken a picture of my sandwich before I even physically picked it up and realized how soggy it was because I was comparing it to the size of the chips considering it has changed in size if I'm not correct.. like, how is this a regular size sandwich? It's pretty small For the price. Don't even get me started on how the small Hispanic cashier person behind the register was completely rude to me when I told her I had a free sandwich and she was giving me this rude look and then proceeded to ask me who I spoke with... It was over a month ago now and honestly, I don't even recall who I spoke with as I did not take note of it, but I was told that they would take my name down.. so I just let her know what my name was, and what the situation was.. She seemed not happy about it at all, didn't even acknowledge what I stated, and then walked away and then give me the sandwich, and then told me the total. It was very weird. I would just skip this place altogether to be honest. Check out the video of this bread I didn't even call to tell them about this issue because I genuinely don't even want to go back and I'm sure it's too late to just get a refund for my original order instead.! read more

Their sibs are hard to beat. I like the different meats they use and that they are hot

Honestly, best subs of all the chains. I'm a fan of thinly sliced meats, which they do, but the quality of the ingredients is also top notch. I first discovered this chain because you get a free sub on your bday. Straight up. No BOGO, not a discounted meal, a FREE medium sub. However, one sub did get me hooked so be prepared to make this a regular lunch option. I usually order the build your own turkey sub but this time I noticed that they had a special menu with discounted specialty subs. For only $7 instead of $10+ you can choose from 3 specialty sub options. I opted for the Jamaican turkey sub which included smoked turkey, cheese, mayo, lettuce and onions. I was skeptical but I ended up enjoying the sub very much! After we left I noticed that you can obtain $2 off if you check in on Yelp so I will be doing that later in the week! Enjoy! read more

I've eaten at this location several times now and the food is always on point and made with haste.

Meatball sandwich - good but messier than usual It's a meatball sandwich Rob, what do you expect? Well, it typically holds up better, somehow staying intact until the last bite Service - good but it's been better (maybe the masks don't help) Dining inside and out - inside - spaced; outside - sidewalk tables Combo includes chips of choice and any size drink for the same price Subs run small, med, large - medium is like your regular size Hot and cold choices on the menu read more

Ordered on line from T-Mobile Tuesdays BOGO. Ordered both on white bread. Get home both sandwiches are on wheat bread. One was supposed to be no ham or tomato. Had both. Go back they have no white bread. So instead of informing us they just use wheat. Vanessa was very apologetic. Refunded my money, gave me a brownie and said come back tomorrow and we'll make it right. Go back told the kid working no tomato, no ham. Check to make sure it was on white bread never thought to check the meat. Get home it only has ham no turkey. I hate ham. Didn't bother going back. Gave them a 3 because Vanessa was helpful but still giving me all ham instead of no ham and turkey just made me give up. read more

Really great food, good deals, clean open environment that is well laid out. They have lots of parking and easy to get in and out of. What really REALLY sets the high bar is the community involvement and appreciation. It stands out here and does not go un noticed. A few visits ago one of the local fireman was in the shop handing out decals, the kids where all so happy and just huge smiles. This past visit I noticed a sign that offered free combo upgrades for healthcare providers. How awesome is that? I had already paid but let him know and got a bonus bag of chips just for being a nurse. He did encourage that normally I should let them know when I ordered but today just made sure to kick me down. That little bag was massive gesture, its nice to get that appreciation and this place really hands it out generously too. I can go on and on about the excellent food, super deals, all around great place but its that community appreciation that really makes me love this spot. read more

Got food poisoning here last night, first time trying firehouse too! Tasted good but i don't think the kids that work there practice food safety at all. read more

Firehouse Subs is a chain I can get behind! Not down in this part of Costa Mesa often but I may have to drive over more to eat at Firehouse Subs. Always loved their business model, where they partner with local fire departments whenever they open a location, but the sandwiches here really are tasty. I got a Medium Firehouse Hero with roast beef, smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham, and melted provolone, served "Fully Involved" with Cajun mayo, deli mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a kosher dill pickle on the side... delicious and just the right amount of food so I don't pass out at work. Even better than all that, I got my sammich FOR FREE because I signed up for their Sub Day birthday promotion through Firehouse Rewards! Make sure you sign up for your own Sub Day and get yourself a delicious Firehouse Hero! read more

Decent Firehouse Subs location. I have come here a few times, and I like the people and the vibe. I always order the Italian Meat Sandwich with everything on it, and it is delicious. Little bit on the pricey side, but it still love certain sandwiches. read more

There seems to be a major indiscrepancy in price when ordering online or in store. If you order through the yelp app you will save about 4 to 5 dollars. This is such a baffling discovery and it honestly doesn't make any sense. Because everything online is usually taxed more. One would assume if I go travel to the store I'm getting the best deal. Not at this place. I ordered an eight inch sub and paid fifteen dollars over there. Saw it on Yelp for 10. Something went wrong in Logistics or maybe it's a California location, not sure read more

I had a craving for a warm sub so I decided to try this place. I was greeted when I first came in and the guy working there was patient since it took me a little bit to decide what I wanted. The customer service was great the employee working there was accommodating when I requested changes in a sub. The price was reasonable and I was really excited because all their subs are served warm. Something that I found interesting that I guess I've gotten so used to from neighborhood delis or places like Jersey Mikes... you can't see your sandwich while they're making it (this will make more sense later). Upon eating my sandwich I went to unravel the sub and it was drenched in thousand island dressing. I must say, I do like a lot of sauce but this was way to much sauce. I had to eat it quickly because the bread was soaking it up and making it soggy . Despite not having the decision to have leftovers I would order here again because it was really good. I'll just make sure I mention that I'd like light sauce. read more

If I could give zero stars I would! Just because you have a promo (BOGO) shouldn't mean your sandwich should be made entirely different. Very little meat and slopped together! Bad presentation! When shown to the Mgr, he even agreed. But said promos are made that way! The purpose should be to generate and draw more business by making a good first impression, nope! Shame on you Firehouse! It was so bad that I ate both sandwiches, that's how UN FILLING they were! $14 for a medium should be stacked enough to fill you. They didn't do anything to accommodate! I'll never step into another firehouse again! read more

Friendly service even during busy lunch rush, the engineer subs with house pepper sauce is the boss! Try it

The food is alwayss amazing here like OMG. By far my top sandwich place to go to. Great service, great restaurant, great food. 11/10

We stopped here for lunch last week, I ordered a make your own turkey and provolone. It came with LOTS of turkey, especially compared to other fast food sub places that skimp on the meat. Everything was great, the place was neat and clean, and the staff very nice too. read more

They have gone down lately. It is a sandwich shop. But the flavors don't stand out like they used to. Still good but just not great.

I really wanted to not have to post this as a review but the website didn't give me an option to contact corporate and Yelp didn't have a message the business option. This is my first time eating here and ordered the family meal. You can see that we have 3 cookies included on the receipt but we didn't receive it on my online order. Yes, I could've and should've checked but shouldn't really have to. When I went in for the pickup there was a line of 4 people so I just took my order and left. Still messed up my order where 1 Italian should have olives while the other doesn't (both ended up having olives). Quality of sandwiches are pretty good, I still prefer Jersey Mike's and Jimm John's though. read more
