This Firehouse Subs location can be found in the same plaza as Vons and Ross, specifically right next door to The Habit with parking available. I came by this location twice, once on a Wednesday around 12:45 pm and once on a Friday, right when they opened (around 10:30 am).
When my husband and I came on the Wednesday, it was definitely busy with a long line slowly building. The employees working behind the counter were busy making sandwiches and the girl who was taking orders had to leave the register to take care of the soda fountain dispenser (they have a fancy digital one). So I waited a while to order. On this visit we ended up ordering:
Medium Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket on Wheat, $9.09 prior to tax- My husband ordered this sandwich and enjoyed it. I didn't try any. His sandwich came with a pickle, which is wrapped separately in a plastic bag (which is nice so that the pickle doesn't make your sandwich soggy). This sandwich comes with smoked beef brisket, cheese, mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. The size is good enough to make you feel satisfied and hold you 'til your next meal.
Medium Engineer on Wheat, $8.49 prior to tax- I opted for a turkey sandwich that also had sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise and mustard. When I ordered, I requested to omit the onions (I'm not a fan of raw onions). I only had half a sandwich for lunch and saved the half for dinner that day. I liked that the turkey was generous in this sandwich. I liked every bite of this sandwich and would order this again. This sandwich came with a pickle (also wrapped separately) like my husband's. I wished the wheat bread they have available was made of whole wheat bread like they do at Subway but still a great sandwich.
Lemon cookies, $0.75 each, prior to tax- I had originally ordered a chocolate chip cookie but they ran out of them. Since I was already charged for the cookie and didn't want to wait for a refund, especially with the long line behind me, I just got their lemon cookie but I didn't have any since I'm not a big fan of lemon cookies. But my husband enjoyed both.
On my next visit on a Friday, I ended up ordering:
Medium Firehouse Steak & Cheese, $8.49 prior to tax - Just reading the description, this sandwich reminded me of a Philly cheese steak so I decided to order it and see how it taste and was wondering how it would compare to the cheese steaks that I have had when I had visited Philadelphia last summer. This sandwich came with sautéed steak, provolone, sautéed bell peppers, onions, mayonnaise and mustard. I liked that the onions were cooked. I thought this was not bad (but not the same as the one's in Philly, sorry) and thought it was quite filling. Oh and yes this sandwich also came with a pickle that was wrapped separately too.
Wait time for our sandwiches to be made on Wednesday probably took 15-18 minutes and wait time for my sandwich to be made on Friday was maybe 5 minutes. Service was very friendly both times I came and would check out Firehouse Subs again in the future. read more
