    The half and half Engineer and brocolli soup
    Jessica L.

    So I love this location of firehouse subs. The food is always fresh and tasty and the service is great. I got the half and half, I got the engineer and brocolli soup. There was a great meat, to veggie to bread ratio. If you like subs, and want something better quality than subway, give these guys a shot. Just keep in mind that not all firehouse sub locations are the same.

    Love, love firehouse sub so much . Since I discovered this place is my go-to for subs, so many options, easy to order and always so fresh . I tried their Italian sub the first time I went and fell completely in love , until I decided to try something else and tried the brisket with cheddar sub is definitely my new favourite. Their portions are big, price is reasonable and quality is amazing .

    These subs are delicious! I love the firehouse meatball, the steak and cheese and the beef brisket. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are fairly big. The sandwiches are on the pricier side and whenever I have gone there was a bit of a wait but I think it's worth it!

    Veggie sub*YUM*

    Seriously.....seriously...seriously....I have not had a sub as good as the one I just ate EVER! Popped in here tonight (Friday), and it was pretty busy. Ordered the footlong veggie on white bread with extra pickles and jalapenos and I think I went to heaven when I took my first bite. From the bread to the toppings and sauce, it was delish! I like how you can add on additional toppings when ordering at the cash like pickles or jalapenos. P.S....They actually use real chopped deli pickles on their subs...bonus points for them! The layout is kind of like five guys...you order...then wait...and your name is called when your sub is ready. I also like how they welcome each guest to the store by yelling out "welcome to firehouse subs!". Not too sure how long that will last, but its a nice gesture. Also tried the fresh baked chocolate chip cookie and it was scrumptious! Only comment would be to get better take out containers for the sauces, Hard to get the lid off once its on without it splattering everywhere. Speaking of sauces, they have A LOT of hot sauces as well as their specialty firehouse bbq sauce...SOOO GOOD! On that note, I am so excited Firehouse Subs just opened around the block from me, and I know I am going to be at this place frequently.

    Meatball sub

    - I have visited this Firehouse location 3x now (still the sole location in Ottawa), and I have tasted their Meatball, Steak & Cheese and Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket - Upon entry, you will be greeted with "Welcome to Firehouse" by the staff - however, this has been somewhat muffled during my visits so far (likely due to the ambient sound, and the staff do not always harmoniously greet). Despite this, it still adds a uniquely refreshing customer experience that none of their direct competitors (Subway, Quiznos) offer. - There is a thematic firefighter atmosphere throughout the restaurant (decked in firefighter equipment, gear and memorabilia, which all has been donated). The murals on the wall are also very appealing. - So you almost want to dine-in rather than take-out (both are offered obviously). If you dine-in, they plate the subs in food baskets, which adds a certain aesthetic appeal over just the standardized wrapping. For take-out, they package the subs in cartons, which I find protects the sub from accidental squashing (my Subway sandwiches have definitely been squashed in the past, as I normally stow food in my backpack when I am on the move)   - Firehouse is also a charitable company that serves the local community. In fact, during one of my visits (shown in one of my uploaded pics), they were offering a complimentary medium sub for bringing in an unopened 24-pack of bottled water. The water was going to the local fire and police departments for distribution to those in need. - One minor gripe about Firehouse was probably the line queuing: I have ordered during the peak and off-peak times. Firehouse does not employ the same order-pay line configuration as Subway/Quiznos. - So the first line at Firehouse is to order/pay, which was always acceptably small. - However, the counter to await your food was about 5 people deep during all my visits. There is no TV monitor to indicate order numbers or progression (as like McDonalds). So there has been some confusion with sequentially fulfilling orders or customer names associated with the an order.   - Circling back to their competitors though, I do not believe that Subway/Quiznos can really hold a candle to Firehouse. Yes, Subway boasts their low calorie menu, and Firehouse conversely promotes to satiate your appetite (it is actually stated on their packaging "we cater to firefighter-sized appetites"). - In fact, here is a brief comparison: 1. Subway (http://www.subway.com/en-ca/menunutrition/menu/all ) - Meatball Marinara 6" for ~4.30$ : 490 Calories, Fat 18g, Cholesterol 40mg, Sodium 1030mg, Carbs 60g, Sugars 12g, Protein 22g - Steak & Cheese 6" for ~6.50$: 380 Calories, Fat 10g, Cholesterol 50mg, Sodium 1030mg, Carbs 49g, Sugars 9g, Protein 26g 2. Quiznos (http://www.quiznos.ca/en/) - Black Angus Steak 9" for ~7.99$ (mozzarella, cheddar sautéed onion, sautéed mushrooms, honey bourbon mustard, zesty grille sauce): Calories 740, Fat 22g, Cholesterol 95mg, Sodium 2040mg, Carbs 88g, Sugars 23g, Protein 47g 3. Firehouse (https://www.nutritionix.com/firehouse-subs/menu/premium) - Meatball 8" for 7.49$ (parmesan cheese + marinara sauce + meatballs + white sub roll + provolone cheese): Calories 840, Fat 50g, Cholesterol 100mg, Sodium 1910mg, Carbs 61g, Sugars 9g, Protein 37g - Steak & Cheese 8" for 8.99$ (au jus bell peppers + au jus onions + mayo + white sub roll + provolone cheese + sauteed choice steak + spicy mustard): Calories 820, Fat 51g, Cholesterol 110mg, Sodium 2010mg, Carbs 52g, Sugars 6g, Protein 38g - So yes, Firehouse may not be recommended for the highly-dietary-conscious individuals. - My subs have always been stacked high with meat, which is actually steamed. Steaming meat can actually prevent overcooking and burning, which could be great within this fast food category (as I have reluctantly eaten overcooked/burned meat on Subway/Quiznos subs in the past). - I actually prefer Firehouse's sizing over Subway, because I find that I am over-satiated with Subway's 12", yet still famished with their 6". I find Firehouse's 8" are always right-sized for my appetite (however, this may be subjective since I have a thinner body frame ;). - Yes, Quiznos offers 9" subs, but I would still likely gravitate towards Firehouse, since they seem to offer more signature subs and somewhere north of 40 different sauces! - Furthermore, they house this revolutionary Coca-Cola dispenser, which apparently stocks 120+ drink options

    Firehouse never fails me. Good food brings a crowd so the service was a bit slow. That's expected though when you are there at lunch time.

    Wow! I am really impressed with this chain. Frequently visiting St. Laurent mall, I walked the food…read morecourt over and over again, and just wanted something different, and "healthier". I nervously popped into Poulet Rouge, intimidated by the menu and all the choices and received the friendliest service. I ordered a mini bowl with lettuce as a base. They offer plant based chicken, and opted for that, going with the shisha garlic flavour. The mini comes with a choice of 1 sauce and 3 toppings. I went with the chipotle sauce which had some nice kick to it. I topped it with cucumber, feta and tzatziki. The bowl was a perfect size for a quick light dinner. The plant based chicken was smokey and it was grilled to order. They have a couple seats to dine in away from the food court. Service was super quick and they were so friendly when I asked for recommendations. (sorry I forgot to take a picture, but I will next time I am there, because its now a new fave)

    Poulet Rouge has arrived in Ottawa! It is a chain from Montreal that specializes in build your own…read morechicken bowls, salads and wraps. Their chicken is Halal. You can get everything without chicken too if you are a vegetarian/vegan, but they do not have alternate proteins. This location is in the St Laurent Shopping Centre (the other location in Ottawa is at the Rideau Centre). It's in the food court, but they actually have their own private seating, although you can bring your food to the main food court seating as well. I've had Poulet Rouge before, in Montreal, and at the Rideau Centre location as well. I really like the food at this chain. This visit I got the build your own Rouge Bowl ($10.99). You get to choose a chicken flavour (Hercules/lemon, Shisha/garlic, Fusion/BBQ or Volcano/spicy), a base (brown rice or bulgur, you can upgrade to quinoa for an additional cost), a dressing, and 7 toppings. I got the Hercules chicken with brown rice, no dressing, spinach, tomatoes, beets, bell peppers, black beans, cheese, and tzatziki (which counts as a topping and not a dressing). The food here is consistent with the location at Rideau. I feel like they might be a bit more generous with the meats in Montreal, but it's been a while since I've been there, so it might be they've shrunk portions everywhere. The chicken portion is still good, and my bowl was still very tasty. Service was friendly and the place looks clean. Poulet Rouge is definitely a welcomed addition to the St. Laurent food court :)

They have a Brew Bar. Funny story, my brother loves A&W and used to work near this location before it opened up. He lamented how he wished there was an A&W near his work so he could go there for lunch. Shortly after he stopped working there, they opened up this A&W, haha. It's a relatively new location. I think it opened in 2021 or 2022. I've been to this location a few times. It's around the corner from a Winners (my favourite place to shop) and my husband has been known to go in and grab a Buddy Burger or two while he's waiting for me to finish shopping, lol. Their food is consistent, the space is clean, and staff are friendly. They recently launched their Brew Bar at this location, so now they also sell Root Beer slushies, fruit smoothies, creamy shakes, frozen lemonade, cold brews and lattes. We were there during this launch. They had a DJ playing tunes, the place was decorated with balloons and they had a spin the wheel game set up out front to win A&W merchandise. I won a bottle opener and my husband won a frisbee. We also got coupons to try a free small drink from the Brew Bar. I got the Strawberry Smoothie and my husband got the Acai Mixed Berries Smoothie. The regular price is $3.99 each. The smoothies are made by this automated machine. It's fun to watch. The smoothies were good, but a bit too sweet for my liking. They are made with real fruit puree, but I'm certain there's added sugar. The Mixed Berries one had a bit of an artificial aftertaste, which the Strawberry one didn't have. I feel that this location is more for people who live or work nearby or tourists or if you're already in the area doing something else. There's no parking. Street parking is hard to come by and not all that close. It is right by Parliament Station though, so easily accessible by public transit. This location is open 24/7.

    Haven't been to this chain in over ten years since they started closing all locations in Quebec. We…read moredined at this location Saturday August 5th and tried the ravioli and shrimp alfredo dishes. We were very pleased with the complimentary all-you-can-eat bread and salad. The portion for our salad was huge, they ran out of small bowls so we both got to each a very large bowl of cesar salad. There's real bacon pieces, sauce wasn't as plentiful as I would have liked, but the flavor was good. Bread is soft and warm, very pleasant as well. Too bad it seems they use margarine or some type of unsalted butter as there was lacking a bit of flavor for the bread. The pasta meals were just average sized, not huge, so go ahead and enjoy all the salad and bread you can get. The ravioli dish was good, very cheesy and filling. Shrimp alfredo was a bit bland - there was a off smell to it, perhaps from the cheese, but it wasn't a decadent creamy sauce I was expecting. It also comes with little bits of tomatoes and veggie so the next day when I brought my leftover home, the noodles were a soggy mess. Adding the tomato is a nice fresh addition and looks nice but won't translate to a good leftover since it comes very watery once reheated. Overall experience is decent, nothing awesome. Perhaps there are some menu options that a lot better, we never tried their pizza so can't comment as a whole but for the price and casual sit down, East Side Marios is OK. The best thing is really the all you can eat salad, soup and bread.

I decided to go with the Hells kitchen, it looked to me like this was the healthiest option I could pick. Chicken with potatoes and vegetables. I usually eat very poorly when I go out, but after a workout I just wanted a healthy meal. I was surprised by the size of the plate which was very good. Tasted amazing and the server was a total sweetheart. They are of all you can eat soup salad and bread. I had a little bit of the Caesar salad it was really good. They offer a really amazing Caesar drink. I didn't get one today but I will insert a picture next time I do.
