After driving by this place many times, I decided to give it a try and used the check-in offer posted at the time. I found the menu slightly confusing and rushed to order especially since I had never eaten there before. As a result, I ordered quickly and ended up with a sandwich with just a little meat on nicely made bread and no toppings. The staff there were polite but I did not feel like going back to them and asking them to dress a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and the other stuff available. I should have been more assertive/resistant to order too quickly to appease the order taker. The store is clean and the firehouse theme is really nice but I'll stick with my regular sandwich shop in the future. The prices do seem high for what you get but I used a discount for my purchase so I can't complain. read more

Simply delicious!!! I had the Firehouse steak n cheese. The soft and toasty bread is what makes this sandwich. They toast the bread separately which makes a big difference. I will be back. read more

This place offers a different twist to hot subs, they warm the meats with steam. They come out hot, tender and flavorful. The atmosphere is fun, the staff are friendly and helpful. The bread, meats and cheese are top notch. Worth a try! I'm a fan! read more

Low quality meat and ingredients make for disappointing subs. Why not get Boar's head or some decent meat and cheeses, better ingredients? The bread was ok. I don't recommend and won't be coming back. It's not terrible. I gave them a shot because they had a good coupon but won't return no matter what the discount or ad says. read more

Very disappointed. Today my husband and I came to grab a sandwich. He ordered the Italian which was sweet. I've never had a sweet Italian before. The place was pretty empty for a Sunday and it took almost 20 mins to make 2. I ordered a plain turkey with avocado. Both sandwiches were for to go. When we got home 10 mins later and opened our sandwiches up we both looked at each other and said what the heck. They were both soggy already. They did not add half the stuff I requested on the sandwich, probably because the little teenagers were busy talking to one another. We both wanted pickles and did not get any. Very disappointing. I should have stuck to going to the lil pickle instead. I will not be returning. 24$ for 2 crappy subs. read more

Their subs are pretty decent here. I haven't had any cold ones yet but the smokehouse beef and hook and ladder are very yummy. I like their selection of hot sauces as well. Better then Subway, that's for sure! read more

This is probably my favorite new place I've found. I eat there at least twice a week. The selection is great, the subs are amazing and they even greet you every time you walk through the door. You have to try these. read more

I drive 20 minutes to just snag their bbq cheddar brisket sandwich. Too good. wait's never long either

I was really excited to try this place and get a great sandwich, but I was really let down. This place reminds me of a wannabe Jerry's Subs, but not near as good. (And I'm not really a fan of Jerry's Subs either). I got the veggie sandwich on white bread, and it was just OK. Full of grease and I had to pick out onion peel from my sandwich. Yuck. It took about 15 minutes from the time I ordered to the time I got my food, which I thought was ridiculous. Everyone sitting down already had their food and people who ordered 5 minutes after me got their food and were out of the tiny parking lot before I received my sandwich. The workers behind the counter seemed more interested in joking with each other than serving the customers. The place was pretty clean and the soda fountain was neat and all high-tech, but the food simply isn't worth a trip back to this place. read more

Staff is not friendly, seems very agitated. Not smiling and talking very aggressively towards one another. Customer service is not apparent at all at this establishment. If it wasn't for the food i definitely would not have stayed and ordered from here. read more

Just ate here for the first time. Sandwich was good but nothing really special. Sandwiches only have 4oz of meat on the 8" which isn't a whole lot. Friendly staff and very clean. I would rank this as number 3 with Jersey Mike's being first and jimmy johns or which wich being my second choice. read more

Best sandwiches ever.....they really pack on the meat! My family is always ready to eat there. Not to mention the employees are very nice and actually like their job. read more

The most delicious sub I've ever had! We had the Club on a sub. The turkey was warm & so... flavorful. It was tender & juicy & light. The bread was soft & fresh. Just amazing! That's really all I can say read more

Slow service and overpriced sandwiches. I was not impressed with selection or the taste. Kind of just average.

The service was friendly and fast, and the sub I ordered (Sriracha Beef) was fantastic! Great selection of subs & and even better selection of hot sauces. I'll be going back here for sure! read more

Best sub in town try the turkey bacon ranch to the rescue everything is good no matter what you get!!!

This place is awesome. The Italian sub is just mind blowing. Pretty much every sub here is great especially for it being a chain. Whats just as good as the sub is the service. Shanell, Justin and everyone else there are extremely friendly and make bomb ass subs. read more

Horrible experience waiting a total of 30 minutes. Ordered 1 hero sandwich with no special requests. Initially waited 20 minutes. Sandwich was brought out to the wrong table. Watched as sandwich stayed on that table then was brought back. Stopped the worker to ask if it was our sandwich. He said yes so I asked for them to remake it given it was on someone else's table and I didn't know if they touched it. Another worker came and asked what was happening so I told her and she literally said "we just walked it out right now." I told her again that I WATCHED IT HAPPEN. She rudely grabbed my sandwich and walked away without saying anything. Fast forward another 10 minutes to finally receiving the sandwich. It was good. But overall bad experience. Pretty unprofessional place with the manager being loud as well literally yelling across the room to the sandwich makers and customers to confirm orders. Should have asked for my money back. read more

I came here on my birthday. The very nice lady Roxanne hooked me up with a free birthday medium sub since it was the deal. Totally nice place and the food was definitely worth it to come back again! read more

Had a meatball sub here last week. It was made perfectly. The staff was sooo friendly. I already love firehouse and have for decades, but this by far is the best location I've ever been to. The restaurant was super clean and the two employees that were there were so friendly and helpful. And I got to use a free drink coupon for signing up for the app a few weeks ago. Great experience read more

This place is bangin like a biscuit! Gotta get that number one, won't let you down, and comes with a pickle!!!

Yummy!!! I am not a sandwich person, but tonight I was craving a meatball sub! By far the BEST meatball sub I've ever eaten! Light wheat bread, quality meat, Marinara, and Italian Seasoning!!!! Delightful! read more

Fantastic sandwiches. I've tried the Sriracha beef and the limited time Pork and Slaw and both were amazing. I even tried the lemon cookie and it was so good! Definitely a great place to go for a quick lunch that's great quality! read more

Mediocre. They were out of brisket and the bread my spicy siracha beef came on, which wasn't a great way to start but we got over it. We had the spicy beef and turkey bacon cheddar, overall the sandwiches were good but nothing special. One step above a Quiznos but not as good as the Lil Pickle or Togos. $18 for 1 combo and one stand alone sandwich. read more

I already LOVED this place. The people here are great and the food is even better. I can't go back to Subway after eating here. Because of that I decided to have these guys cater my daughter's birthday party last weekend. I bought 2 trays of sandwiches, two trays of salad, 3 gallons of their amazing Firehouse cherry limeade, and a fire hydrant sauce. Mmmmmm! Could have used more cheese for the salads but they gave me plenty of meats and also plenty of pickles, mayo, mustard, and salad dressing. They also provided plates, napkins, and silverware. It was fantastic. Packaged well and ready for pick up on time. And it was all delicious! Went over very well with my guests and I would definitely use them again. Thank you, Firehouse, for making my experience simple and my food tasty! read more

The staff here is great. They are always very friendly right from the start when you walk in. This location is never usually crowded when I go. And the staff is always willing to customize your food. For example, the last time I was in I asked for extra extra jalapenos and the staff not only did as I asked and made me a super delicious sandwich, but they also gave me a side of jalapenos which was awesome. I was not expecting that and so it goes to show that this Firehouse location is definitely a spot for good, happy eats. read more

Pretty delicious sandwich. I got a veggie sub on wheat, no chz no mayo. Added a few extra veggies and it was great! Served warm with lots of flavor. Just noticed their hot sauce bar but I already finished my food so next time I will see what that's all about. Over all satisfied!! read more

A little pricey but it's a good sandwich. Better then what I expected. It's the prices that will decide if I go back or not. After all it is just a sandwich. read more

This place was awesome I only wish that there were some where I live. the customer service was great and the sandwiches were so good. I will definitely come back when I am in this location again. oh and by the way the decor issuper cute, they even give the kids firemen hats. read more

A great tasting sandwich with a twist. I love the toasted version and they have some awesome mustards if you are a fan. The guys are really quick and Nice. read more

Very clean, great selection & fantastic Customer service. Their subs are amazing. I can taste the quality. If you compare firehouse to subway or quiznos, Fire house wins hands down. I'll be back soon. read more

Firehouse never disappoints. They make sure to make your sandwich as quickly as possible, without impacting the integrity of the sandwich and its ingredients. The Club on a Sub is a must try. Best sandwich spot in Costa Mesa with very reasonable prices. read more

Pure Awesomeness period. very good can't do wrong with anything all is good the people the service the sandwiches

Visited Firehouse with my dad who is visiting me from the bronx new york. I have been to Firehouse Subs once before in Loma Linda California for take out. Today I had the meatball on white bread combo and my dad had the turkey breast. I must say this location by far is very clean. Tony Siano served us and was extremely helpful explaining the menu items to us. He even brought our food over to us. Ive never seen that in any fastfood. Good gesture and i will continue to dine at Tony's firehouse. Thanks Mike! read more

First time coming in, and I have to say best meatball sub I've had in a while. A little pricey for a sub shop but very worth it. Very inviting environment, and awesome crew. read more

First time eating here, it's better than subway for sure! It's about to go down! Super excited I found this place and will definitely be coming back for now! read more

Amazing sandwich! We got a turkey and cheese and a ham and cheese. Both sandwiches were awesome. We will be coming back soon!

I have eaten at Firehouse subs 3 times now. and every time I have had it it has been delicious!! Definitely my new favorite sandwich spot. Much better than Subway. The Firehouse Hero sub and Smokehouse beef and cheddar brisket are the bomb!! read more

Really disappointed they don't sauté the mushrooms in house. If everything else is fresh, why skip out here? If I'm paying $8 for a sub everything should be fresh made. * I'm changing my review from 2 stars to 4 for great management. At the end of the meal the manager asked me how my meal was, and when I told him about the mushrooms he said with a smile and happy attitude I just had to let them know and they would have made me something else. I thought they were canned mushrooms but he said they come in sautéed. (So to me I still wouldn't want them) But he was very sweet and gave me a coupon for a free medium sub for next time. This might be a great place for meat lovers but as a vegan I'll give the coupon to my boyfriend and eat somewhere else next time. I like all my veggies fresh. read more

Came in on a rainy day. I ordered my sandwich and it was ready in less than 2 minutes. I think it was pre made and stored in the fridge. Don't think I will be returning. read more
