Large Turkey Bacon Ranch
Kayla Y.

What do we do when it's Sunday and too late for me to cook dinner? Order Firehouse Subs. I could already hear the crunch of that crisp pickle spear when I thought up this bright idea. I arrived at the store around 7:30 p.m. and the employees already had a head start on moping the floors for closing at 9 p.m. The restaurant and parking lot were a ghost town. I was greeted with the typical "Welcome to Firehouse!" that is perfectly loud and inviting. A gentleman rang up my order and his colleague promptly started on my two large Turkey bacon ranch sandwiches-- a classic order for my husband and I. It took some time to make the subs but I left content with two subs, some hot sauce, and those pickle spears (I steal my husband's) to chow down on once arriving at home. I left with no complaints... until I opened my sub to find NO PICKLE SPEAR. Would this be a big deal for everyone, probably not, but that was the *one* thing I was looking forward to the most. My heart sank thinking about a pickle-less night of Firehouse. I shouldn't have to ask for the pickle spear but next time I'll remember to say something to avoid the heartbreak I felt last night. Our sandwiches were delicious and packed with meat but it's just not the same without the pickle. [insert a falling tear]

The food and the service are always good. By far, it's my favorite sub sandwich in Iowa City.

Best subs and soups. Never disappointed. Just wish they would come back to Davenport Iowa.

We don't have Culver's on the East Coast. I can proudly say that I walked through the doors of…read moreCulver's for the first time on Wednesday night around 8 p.m. and had myself a heyday! Here's some background: I've been debating trying this new-to-me fast food chain for a year and a half now. I've throughly interviewed many friends about what to enjoy and what to avoid at Culver's. Among the most memorable responses was "don't eat the shrimp." I thought "WOAH! What fast food joint thinks they can do seafood well?" Imagine, the nerves were building and my sound mind questioned whether it was a good idea to try this overly ambitious, ice cream making, burger flipping establishment. Then comes a destined Tuesday night. I desperately craved chicken tenders. My husband, desiring to cure my need, suggests Culver's for dinner on Wednesday evening. Wednesday evening rolls around. The idea of trying new fast food daunts me. We were courageous. We were ready for the unknown. We bravely bursted through the doors of the establishment to find-- frankly something that resembles an IHOP. It was homely, clean, and inviting. I let my guard down little bit. We surveyed the menu with indecision. All of my studying couldn't prepare me for the pressure of selecting ONE, not two, ONE thing to eat for dinner. The friendly employee at the register made suggestions and gave us time to process through this potentially life-altering decision. We ordered and astonishingly paid about $20 for our two meals! I was flabbergasted because you can't buy food this cheap anymore. We sat out our booth anticipating the fate before us. Just then, the food was delivered triggering olfactory excitement. By the end of the night, there wasn't a lick of food left on our trays. Each bite of food went down perfectly alone or with one of the five sauces they permitted us to order. Look, I don't need to tell you how this food tastes. Go and have the experience for yourself. I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised just as we were. Though I had a feeling of initial reluctance about trying this food, I would happily eat Culver's any night of the week. This was a surprising, yet unanimous five-star experience.

Yummy. Had double cheese butter burgers. So delicious! And the fried Wisconsin cheese!read more

Full disclosure, I have an emotional bias towards this chain. My wife and I would frequent the one…read morein Ames Iowa in college and spend money we made collecting cans. Was a great deal for fast high quantity food. Today's visit went about as well as we could've hoped. We got to try all our old usuals and they were just as good as we remembered! The only real down side was the "shrink flation" of portions, but I'm not surprised given the all the changes that happened over the last 6 years. Oh yeah and one pandemic. Core memory... We got a lot of food to try and sample as much as we could (we usually do on a first visit to a place to see what we like and have more reasons to come back). The churro could've been warmer, but it was a good combination of crunchy and sweet which I was okay with. The burrito taco combo was great, though the spicy green sauce is what sealed the deal for me on it. Fries were 99 cents as a side, couldn't say no! Nice and hot when we got them! Yummy! Chips and queso was also good. Cheese was steaming hot! Quesadilla was massive! We added Pico but think we will ask for it on the side in the future. Breakfast burrito with bacon was as good as we remembered, but like mentioned before not as big. The Pina drink was pleasant. We will likely get it again. Tastes like pineapple! The automated ordering machine was nice in our case since we could look closely at all the options and take our time, but in the future I think I'll stick with talking to a person (which I think is an option for ordering? There is a drive through so for sure there is a way). Food came out promptly with minimal staggering. Our server was pleasant which is a plus these days. It was kinda empty and quiet inside which we don't mind, but if that kind of atmosphere is off putting to you, you have been warned. Though a train going by occasionally does break the silence quite dramatically. Also, the train. Don't forget about it if you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch! We certainly will come back again for some comfort food and reminder of "good-O'l times"
