I just ordered a steak and cheese from firehouse subs. There was so much mayo on the sub and very little steak and cheese. It was so greasy I had to throw it away. Not my thing at all read more

Doesn't it feel like everything is being transformed into something upscale? Burgers, frozen yogurt, cupcakes, etc. Firehouse subs comes into the game not openly promoting themselves as an upscale sub shop but make no mistake, their product is next level as compared to their counterparts. Nestled in a sprawling shopping center, in an upscale suburb between DC and Baltimore, this location is a moderately sized place with a good amount of seating options. There are also a couple of flat screen televisions for sports fans. Service is pretty decent. The staff consists of a lot of young energetic folks who do a firehouse chant while preparing customer orders. The order takers/cashiers can be a little flighty. As a submarine sandwich quality control specialist, I must say, they know what they're doing here. I've tried the New York Steamer as well as the Smokehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket. First off, all the subs come in nice portion sizes. The Steamer features corned beef brisket, pastrami, melted provolone, mustard, mayo and Italian dressing. Everything goes together perfectly as the corned beef and pastrami complement each other well along with the condiments. The Italian dressing adds a little tang to things and it most definitely works. The Smokehouse features USDA Choice beef brisket smoked for 10+ hours, melted cheddar, and special sauces. Generous amount of tender brisket slathered in a bbq sauce that hits sweet, sour and spicy notes. Fantastic! The coca cola freestyle machine is a nice touch with over 100 beverage flavors to choose from. Chips, cookies and brownies are the dessert options. The brownies are definitely different than what I'm used to and may be an acquired taste for some. Watch out Subway because Firehouse is up and coming! read more

When the adults are away the children will play and children were working in firehouse on 14SEP2016 at 1650. The cashiers were on point and welcoming as when they were not taking orders they were cleaning. I was actually greeted by someone who I believed worked at firehouse but was just there talking to the staff making food as she was not in a firehouse uniform. The issue was that it took 14 minutes for my food to come out as a person who ordered after me got their much larger order first. I only ordered an Italian. I will say the lady who did get her order first went back up to the counter because the order was wrong. It was understandable how her order could have been wrong with all the playing around that took place from the employees making food. I heard numerous times the female making the food tell the two other guys to stop (whatever they were doing) while she was making food. I can't speak for everyone but I don't like people playing around my food. There might need to be some adult supervision as this place seemed to be more of a playground than a place of business. As for my food it was on the OK side as I did get plenty of meat but a majority of the meat was clumped right in the middle of the sandwich. I had to spread it around to avoid getting a bite of all bread and then just a huge bite of just meat. Never expected this at a Firehouse Subs but I guess all good thing must come to end as well as my patronage of this particular establishment. read more

Firehouse Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

Delivery time is absolutely ridiculous for something that's roughly 15 minutes away. Apparently I guess it takes over an hour to make a single sandwich. Bang up job thumbs up. read more

This is a cool sandwich spot. I ordered the melt and it was pretty good. Not good hours later or the next day so order what you plan to eat immediately Kudos for having Cherry Limeade along with 90+ other flavored drinks for you to choose from Staff was very helpful and nice Ingredients used were good, fresh and tasty Establishment itself had a nice comfy feel about it, clean atmosphere. My friend ordered the Italian sub and said it was better than Jersey Mikes. Me personally i think the sandwich was very good but NOT a Jersey Mike Sub. Overall this is a cool spot to grab a decent sandwich at a reasonable price. read more

It's a sub place and does what they do just fine. I do like feeling that I am supporting first responders. Also like the Read with Your Child corner, a small assortment of books. Waiting in a restaurant need not be a chore with little kids. Make the most of it with a book or game. And it is cute that kids get a fire helmet! read more

Fantastic subs, good food, spacious place, make the sandwich as you want. Better than competitors sub way. I would recommend this for lunch to anyone that loves sandwiches. Service was also very friendly. read more

For a long time I wondered about Firehouse subs. There are so many other sandwich shops, I said "why bother"..but I did, and to my delight. The location is clean, and the staff is friendly. I ordered a giant "Hook and Ladder" , it not only looked as advertised but tasted even better. My preference is on the wheat roll. I don't live near this location but if I'm hungry and in the area, I'll return. Moreover, I appreciate the dedication and simplicity to make a good sandwich. Use quality ingredients, be meticulous in construction and presentation. The customer will return again and again for a good product. Keep up the good work! read more

I've been in here like 3 or 4 times... tagging along with my honey. But I had never had a tast until yesterday. For some reason when ever we go, Im just not in the mood for a sandwhich, or I just ate. So yesterday, I wasnt super hungry I so just grabbed some fries from Arbys. But we all eat in Firehouse, He offered a bite, so I took this time after so many other times he offered on other visits. It was really good, like really really really good. He got the Italian hot speciality sub, the bread was soft, warm, light and airy. It was a such a great bite, I had to go back for another bite. They make there own pickles and sell buy the bucket... the pickle is so good he doesnt want to share it. So I guess I have to get my own sooooo You know this is a good sammich, Im writting a review on 2 bites. :-) It may.. may...may take the place of Jimmy Johns in my heart. Only because you have the option of hot sandwiches. read more

Delicious subs and great customer service! The dining room is always clean. I love that you can add things to your sandwich and they don't charge you extra. What's not to like? It's always consistent and your supporting a great cause! read more

It was my first visit to Firehouse Subs, thanks to my visiting college kid! I had the 8" Italian sub. It was outta this world good. If you get a combo you get chips and a huge drink. Well, it's huge to me. And the soda machines are fun -- giving you a LOT of options for pop! I will definitely be back cos this place is really good. read more

The people making the sandwiches do NOT wear hair nets. The males wear baseball caps, but the woman who is working the assembly line has nothing on her hair. Pretty sure that's a health code violation. Go elsewhere, as this place is dirty. Even the guy taking the orders is wearing a filthy Tee shirt. Disgusting. read more

I tried this chain for the first time (thanks to T-Mobile Tuesdays). The steak and cheese sub was SO GOOD! Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean. Can't wait to be back to try more subs! read more

Firehouse Subs - Medium steak and cheese sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

We ordered two meatball subs on a Wednesday evening, it did not appear to be overly busy but it was dinner time. It took a WHOLE HOUR AND HALF to get our food. Only one of the staff members behind the counter was preparing food, while the other two were on their phones and were rude to customers who tried to speak to them. The young lady told us they had to make more meatballs and that another staff member was preparing them but it was evident that they were not preparing the food and that this one staff member was the only one actually working to fill orders. The most we were offered was a free bag of chips with our food, I would have asked for a discount or even refund given how long we waited but we felt bad for the lady who was actually working, she appeared to be on the brink of tears because of the stress. Many unhappy customers while we were there especially since they were running out of product, and instead of communicating that with customers, they just made sandwiches with missing ingredients. This was a really horrible restaurant experience, especially for what we thought would be semi fast takeout. Do not plan to come back. read more

So I don't normally give bad reviews ever . But I had just the worst customer experience I've ever had. I pulled up to firehouse sub to order food for me and my husband, prior to getting there I called in to order ahead ; while on the phone. The person taking my order (who wouldn't tell me her name) kept reminding me and cutting me off saying over and over that they'll be closing in 20 minutes. I understand trying to get out of work but telling their costumer to screw off because they're 20 minutes from closing is absurd to me. When I asked for the lady's name on the phone she wouldn't tell me, when I walked into the store the girl worker there wouldn't tell me her name. When I spoke to the "manager" he wouldn't give me his name and the lady's name. Everyone here is nameless. As someone who runs their own business, I wouldn't let neither of these people work for me. I should've looked in the bag before driving off but the food wasn't up to par . I live close to Waugh chapel and have bought subs from them plenty of time, the food quality was definitely below their standard. read more

I call firehouse subs a thousand times to order and the phone is busy. I go there to a totally empty restaurant and they took the phones off the hook because they were busy. Very bad for business. Also the manager complained about employees, lack of help, and being to busy so loud that I could hear it. Also told the customer after me that the phones were broke and it wasn't his fault they did not have what she ordered. Second time I've had less than adequate service. Good thing the food is so good or I would never return. read more

Great service. Delicious food. Had a rough week at my job and these guys made me forget about it.

My fiance went to firehouse subs recently to get me a Hook and ladder sub.i asked her to ask the workers if they could put mayo and mustard on side it makes roll soggy.instead they put it on the sub and put condiments in a bowl.the sub was so soggy had to throw it away.tjis is not the first time this has happened.i like firehouse subs but all the workers wanted to do was get her out of the door to watch football.im done with firehouse subs in gambrills they don't even get one star. read more

I love me some Firehouse Subs! I typically stick with their steak and cheese sub. Real sautéed steak (not Steak Um crap), with sautéed onions and peppers and melted provolone cheese and mayo ( I skip the deli mustard). Their other subs equally delicious and the service is quick and friendly. They're going to have a little competition now that another favorite, Jersey Mike's has opened in the same shopping center, but sure they'll hold their own. Firehouse keeps doing it right and I haven't been disappointed yet during the "too many visits to mention" because my wife may read this review. read more

I honestly have never written a review about a restaurant but this was so bad. The lady working the counter looked super angry and didn't want to be there. She barley looked at me and mumbled to me. There were 2 highschool kids or freshman in college working the counter and they were flirting super loud and saying how hard their job was the entire time I was in there. They also messed up my order. Finally the bathroom was disgusting, squirted all over me and had no paper towels. read more

Went to website. Clicked on order here. In-store pickup. Ordered $8.49 regular sub. Was charged $11.03. I asked cashier. She told me Their website redirected me to a third-party (GrubHub) and I was charged a convenience fee. So, I had to pay a 20% fee basically for ordering on-line from their website. In the words of David Spade "Buh-Bye". I'll get my subs elsewhere read more

Not a great experience. Cashier struggled and then took the order clearly, took a long time to get our food to Go. Only to get home and realize it was wrong. The steak and cheese was ice cold, which was odd considering it took so long to get the subs together. read more

Husband and I usually get a large Firehouse Hero with salami and italian dressing on wheat, to share. It's amazing. Seriously, we tried the Italian and it was very, very good. But we wanted something a little more, so we tried the Hero. Which was also super good. But when we combined them together- yeah, magic happened! Plus, it's way more than enough to share. 5 stars for the food alone, we've never been disappointed. The loss of a star is because of the way the cashiers rush through their opening speech. I actually said something about it last time I was in there, because it really is impersonable and just kind of weird. The cashier questions below may be out of order, but it's basically: Me: "Hi I'd like a Firehouse Hero, with-" Cashier: "For here or to go?" Me: "Here, please. So Firehouse Hero, but add-" Cashier: "Large or medium?" Me: "Large. So A Firehouse hero, with sal-" Cashier: "Do you want white or wheat?" Me: *sigh* "Wheat. I'm getting there, I promise. A large Firehouse hero, on wheat, with salami and-" Cashier: "Do you want a pickle?" Me: "It says it comes with a pickle on the board." Cashier: "Yes, but we always ask anyway." Me: "Okay, sure, yes a pickle is fine. So can you add salami and-" Cashier: "2 or 4 ounces?" Me: (frustrated at this point!) "4. Or 2. It doesn't matter. But please add Italian dressing." Cashier: "Well do you still want the lettuce, tomato, and [whatever else they automatically put on it?]" Me: "Yes! Yes, I want a [**big breath**] for-here, large, on-wheat Firehouse hero, add 4 ounces of salami, and italian dressing, with all the regular fixings, please." Cashier: ...... rings up..... "Do you want chips and a drink with that?" Okay so seriously... just listen to my one sentence. If I get ahead of what you can actually remember to type in, clarify what you've forgotten, and let's all move forward with our lives! Honestly, it's rude. It may be the system that requires a certain order, but if that's the case, there are much more creative and polite ways to get the info that you need. In your greeting say, "Hi! Will your order be for here or to go?" followed up with "Would you like a medium or large delicious Firehouse sandwich today?" Something... anything. But basically, pay attention to what I'm saying, repeat the sandwich at the end (and modify if needed) and pretend you give a crap about the fact that you're "listening" to me speak. Plus it will make the line move so much faster! read more

Better than subway for sure! Creative, delicious sandwiches and yummy dill pickles on the side! Sandwiches are good sized and not skimpy on toppings. One of my favorite things about this place is the soda fountain. You have tons and tons of options! It is a digital screen. You select your soda and voila! It creates your soda!! When do you ever have the option for DIET ROOT BEER?! Now you do, at firehouse. read more

I like the idea behind Firehouse Subs and the selection of hot sauces, but almost every sandwich I've had from here is SOGGY. The bread is soggy, the meat is soggy, the toppings are soggy, the dressings and/or juices drip all over the paper and down your arms. The taste is okay, but I hate how everything is DRENCHED in juices. I'll take Jimmy John's anyday over Firehouse. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try out this place after a recommendation from one of his friends and I would say it was a good idea. Anyone who knows me well enough knows I'm a picky eater but on a whim I decided to be brave and test out their tuna sub and found it was perfectly made to my taste and liking. I dropped all the other sub ingredients and just went with the mayo to go along with the tuna. The sub roll was crisp but soft enough that it didn't tear apart the roof of my mouth. I was also super excited to try out the soda machine and get a vanilla coke but that was probably the biggest disappointment since the first half of the soda didn't taste very coke-like or vanilliaish. Maybe I should have stirred it up a little to get the full flavor which seemed to appear more toward finishing it. Considering the next day I was thinking about the yummy taste of the tuna, I would gladly eat at Firehouse again read more

The best subs in town period! My favorite is the Engineer but any I mean any sub will be very good. Is clean and service is very good. A gem for a tasty fast affordable meal. read more

Firehouse Subs - The best descriptor for this masterpiece. I love it!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Gambrills, Maryland

Liked the taste. Mac and cheese was delicious. My 3 year old liked their chicken sandwich.

Just got my Italian sub. Omg. The best I have ever eaten!! I will definitely return. The staff there were very friendly.

This place has gone down hill drastically since new management, customer service is terrible and can never seem to get your order correct when the ticket clearly states how you want it when you place the order. When you ask for the food to be remade it is still made incorrectly. Employees sitting down at the tables, no one being greeted. read more

I tried them again. Ordered through door dash said no onions added a new onion allergy in notes half the sandwich was dressed in onions. Gotten physically sick twice so far from one bite read more

Firehouse Subs is a decent sub place, a nice change from Subway and Quiznos, though I think they are a bit pricier. However, each time I've been there, the food has been very good, and the order has been correct. The soda machines are interesting, but it does seem to bottleneck there. (Added 7/24/14 - When written, I hadn't seen the Freestyle Coke machines before. They have become more commonplace, but can still cause a bottleneck if the restaurant is busy..) It is definitely worth a stop in, and the brisket sub is unique to them as far as I'm aware. I really don't think you can go wrong with ordering anything. As with most sub shops, you can adjust your sub to your taste. read more

I always order the Turkey Bacon Ranch sub on white bread. Yum!!! I get a brownie as well. I love this place. The food is always fresh. The staff is always friendly and i always have a good experience. read more

Me and my family came here today for lunch and had a HORRIBLE experience. The food was not great at all I feel like mcdonald's could have made a better cheesesteak sandwich. Don't even get me started on the drinks, the fountain only had water, juice, and mellow yellow and had no bottle drinks to offer. Will not be coming here again and if thinking about going to Firehouse subs would recommend rethinking it. read more

Stopped in today to pick up 4 subs to take home for lunch (only 1 was for me, I promise). The wait was kind of long since there seemed to be plenty of people on the line making things, but everything that I saw looked good and was willing to hangout for about 10min for ours. I got the 8" New York Steamer, a hot sub with corned beef brisket, pastrami, melted provolone, mustard, mayo, and Italian dressing (though I asked for no mayo). Sadly it was missing the beef brisket, the mustard, and the Italian dressing so really I had a pastrami and cheese. Oh and I didn't get a pickle. Sad face lunch time. The subs that my co-horts got all looked really good which is why I'm giving them 2 stars. read more

Gotta love Firehouse Subs. I got an Engineer, which is a turkey sub with mushrooms. I got the wheat bun which was amazing. The service here was great, with the sandwich being brought to the table. Just overall a great place to get a good sandwich. read more

I'm done. I've given this place 4-5 chances and EVERY TIME I've ordered something from this location it's wrong. WHHHHY?! Why can't anyone read a simple order. No onions means no onions. No ham means no ham. I don't get it. Anyway, if you want your order done correctly I suggest you go to another location. read more

We ordered the Italian subs and they were great. Sandwich was prepared like the picture. Great presentation. Our sandwiches were nice and warm. The staff was friendly and we will be returning. I got my sandwiches to go but the restaurant looked clean and I did see the staff checking on customers. Good job! read more
