    My newest sub obsession location. Stopped by for a sub for lunch and I was blown away about how fresh their food is. The place is a bit snug with just a few tables and chairs to eat, if you don't want to be too close to the line while you're eating, it's best to get your food to go...The staff were nice and friendly and explained some of their menu items. I made a create your own medium sub with ham, turkey and salami. The bread was fresh, warm and fluffy. The deli cuts were great and the produce was just as fresh. You have the ability to make your own sub, or choose one from the menu. You also can make any sub hot or cold. I also ordered one of their confetti birthday cake cookies and that didn't disappoint! Be sure to do their survey so you can get a free drink on the next visit. This place gets pretty busy during the lunch hour of 12-1pm so order ahead if you can! I'll definitely be returning to try other subs.

    I never been to this place before but it was an awesome visit. The cashier was such a Doll just because she took her time with the 4 of us making sure when get what we ordered. Her name is Ms Britney The food was great and the place was very clean. I didn't take pics of my food because we were press for time

    Firehouse Subs are some of my favorite destinations for sub sandwiches and for me, it's almost always the meatball sandwich. I think the reason is it's something that brings back fond memories of growing up and loving them as a kid. My aunt made a mean meatball grinder. One time I ate 3 of them in one sitting, something my belly regretted for the next couple of hours. The concept here is counter-served fresh ingredient offerings made-to-order by a friendly staff and the result is delicious consumable food. Just from experience, some of the most popular items on the menu include the Italian Sub, the Club on a Sub, and the Firehouse Meatball Sub. They also offer a variety of sides, such as mac and cheese, chips, and cookies. Get a combo and save. Oh, and the fountain drinks are all the same price no matter which size you choose. They cover a whole range of sauces from mild to very hot. You can also add a variety of sauces to your subs, including Firehouse Original, Sweet & Spicy BBQ, and Honey Mustard. They offer a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Super friendly, clean, and located near the intersection of Slauson Ave and Crenshaw Blvd.

    I cannot rave enough about Firehouse Subs. My wife took me there to tag along. I ordered a tuna fish sub. I was going to eat half and save the half later, but I couldn't do it. It was so delicious. I had the whole wheat roll. I ate the entire thing in one sitting, then returned and got a foot-long and ate the whole thing in one sitting. Also, my wife and children love their sandwiches. It is amazing. I also love that they like to do serious community service work. Several checks of over $1 million have been raised and donated to community efforts. Eating at the firehouse is a win-win situation for everyone. The atmosphere is clean, and the restaurant's ambiance is a deli counter experience. I highly recommend the Firehouse Subs at Madera Heights.

    Tiny 4'inch sub for $9
    Amy C.

    I've eaten here twice, and both times the subs were underwhelming. This last time my sub was drenched in sauce and the bread falling apart. Lastly, Firehouse is very overpriced for what you get. A small 4inch sub for $9 is way too pricey. Go to Mike's Deli down the street, the subs are better and for a few dollars more you get a superior sandwich.

    Amazing service and hospitality! The man knew his hot sauces for my sandwich. Which was actually amazing for my sandwich!

    Footlong Italian sub
    Lily W.

    ### 2023 review 14/100 ### Since the SaMo location closed down, I came here for my Italian footlong. Ordered ahead on the app with all my fixings + also added a comment: do not cut my sub in 2. Showed up 5 mins after notification that my order was ready. But the girl behind the counter was just about to start making my sub. No biggie. 10mins wait she said. Guess fresher made! Then she asked me if I want all the ingredients and lettuce/tomatoes, etc. boxed on the side. Ugh? Oh she thought I meant "do not cut the bread" when I noted do not cut my sub in 2. LOL. Nope I'd like you to assemble my sub please ^_^ hahaha too funny. Fresh ingredients. Nice cut deli. Only thing is I would ask for the dressing on the side 'coz it gets the bread soggy too quick. Easy parking in lot. My new go-to location.

    Ask mustard, point which mustard, I'm ONLY PERSON HERE at 9:05pm Tues- I hear the girls bla bla talking- nobody used any mustard. ‍
    Big L.

    Employees tonight not sharp. 1) She never heard of the chicken parm- I had to show her on my phone, then the other woman told me no it's no longer here 2) She SPECIFICALLY said there's no specials today- but aren't there specials every day? It's Tues, my opening words were "Turkey bacon ranch?". So is she denying discounts to EVERYBODY all day??? Costing everybody a extra $2? Maybe management knows this **** 3) She and I pointed at the Dijon mustard together - on their little display box- I pleaded for extra on my sammich. Then I get home - NOOOOO mustard. Like ZERRRROOO. I was the ONLY person ordering- not like a busy time with a line. They were just back there gossiping. 4) I still left a $2+ tip at the beginning. This is not a helpful practice I would think at least mustard would come out of it.

    Got to try this Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sub @ FireHouse Subs
    Linda C.

    I don't throw out 5 Stars very often. I'd go as be to say I rarely do, but Firehouse Subs straight up earned it! So let's start with the bad because let's face it, there isn't much bad! The parking lot and location is the worst that I can say negative about this place! If you're headed bear coming west bound on Slauson there is no left turn into this shopping plaza, so head up to the light at Home Depot and make a Uturn. It can get busy at lunch time and the parking lot only has one drive way in and out so it can get congested at times. But that's the bad, that's it! The good, and it's OH SO GOOD! Until today, I had very visited a Firehouse Subs, but the commercials currently running for the Parmesan Chicken Sub running on TV, I had to seek out this place. Sadly this location is the closest to me within 25 miles! (Please fix that asap!). The bread is super fresh and when a hot sub, it's toasted perfectly for an outer crust and soft inside! The Parmesan Chicken Sub is served on toasted garlic bread which let's face it, that's the way all meatball subs should be done! The chicken meatballs were so flavorful and the provolone melted cheese on top was perfection! My only complaint was my own doing and I ordered a small (which is half of a 6" sub) and i deprived myself of the deliciousness of a whole sub! TIP: Go Big! You're going to wish you did! The location was clean, had friendly employees making the most delicious subs which let's face it, within one block this street has amazing sandwich competition, but Firehouse is bringing it! They hold up against some of the best Subs LA has just down the street! And the fact that they give back to local first responders and fire departments earned them the extra star in my heart and belly! I'll be back & I'll be back often!

    I always order the Italian - best sub in town! Great sauce, fresh ingredients
    Dave W.

    Easy parking, great sandwiches! Best sub in town. Wish there was one closer to me ( west side). I always get the Italian, with cheddar and sour cream Ruffles and orange Fanta zero drink. Great chip and drink selection. They even have gluten-free bread.

    Jordon C.

    I have tried every Italian sub on the westside and this one can definitely hold a candle. On par with their quality of meats and fresh, spongy bread. Huge fan of a soft bread that doesn't get overly soggy upon sauce additions. Crispy spear of pickle (thank you for going dill and not sweet). My only complaint is that it's a bit pricey for the size. Regardless, a delicious festival of tastes for the senses and an overall satisfying sub!

    Ada took my order incorrect and didn't own up to making a mistake.
    Francis V.

    I went to Firehouse Subs about a month ago and just getting around to finishing my review. I didn't ask the lady name who took my order but the name on my receipt says Ada. I ordered a medium Italian with wheat bread, no olives and extra onions. When I opened my sandwich there were olives inside the sandwich. When I checked my receipt it says white bread with XT olives. When I brought it to "Ada's" attention she responded with a not so friendly attitude which made me want my money back. She spoke as if I didn't request no olives. The reason I believe I asked for my sandwich the way I normally ask is because the person making my sandwich heard me say wheat bread so they gave me wheat bread but my receipt clearly says white bread. The customer service I received left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I probably won't return.

    Is the deli meat in the Hot subs cooked/sautéed on the grill or are the subs just put in a warmer to toast?

    We go to Canter's a lot. We eat there and have pick up. I have not reviewed them in about 2 years…read moreso I thought is was about time that I reminded you how wonderful Canter's Deli is. First, the place is old and shows some wear. I find that charming and would rather they not change a thing. The place is large and can hold a lot of people. It also has a counter and behind a door is a bar area that sometimes has music. The place is always spotless and comfortable. You will never feel rushed. They have the best bakery which includes fresh bread, cakes, cookies and pastries. All of their food is great. We love the melts and anything with corned beef or pastrami on it. They make the best sandwiches and their soup is also great. They also have breakfast items and all are cooker perfectly. This is one of the best Jewish deli's in town.

    Having just celebrated its 80th anniversary, Canter's remains a fixture of the Fairfax district,…read morethough the light coming from this fixture is starting to flicker and fizzle big time. The large neon signs out front may appear properly retro at night, but look unpleasantly in need of repair in the daylight. The same is true of the restaurant's interior, with dim lighting, dull orange booths, and long-unpolished chrome giving the place a somewhat depressing aura. That visual is unfortunately paired with a sour, mildewed smell, as if the entire place had been wiped down with mops and rags that should have been thrown out months ago. Despite all this, I decided to stay and have the meal I'd planned, as I hadn't been here in a long time. There wasn't much business at 11am on a Thursday, so I slid right into a seat at the counter (the only person at the counter) and was deftly handled by a waiter named Jeff, who was pleasant and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed, and checking in on me several times during my meal. He's a good egg, and I hope he got a good deal more business before the end of his shift. Where Canter's gets some extra points is with their prices, which are currently several dollars below what you'll pay at the other legacy delis in town. The portions are a tad smaller, but are in no way skimpy; that said, my sandwich, soda and tax wound up being about the price you'll pay for just a sandwich at other places, so you're getting a decent bang for your buck. I ordered the Bronx Special, which is a combo sandwich of Pastrami and Chopped Liver. Canter's is the only place I know of in L.A. that serves this sandwich open faced, which allows you to more easily combine the two main items to your liking. The pastrami could have been hotter and a little juicier, but had good flavor without being too salty, so I found the compromise to be worth it. The Chopped Liver had a fresh and mild flavor, and had just the right consistency: a balance between creaminess and a rustic chop, reminding you at all times that you're eating Jewish style chopped liver, not paté. Cole slaw served on the side was fresh and cool, with a nice balance of bitter cabbage and sweet carrot. I personally would prefer that it be a bit creamier, but I know my wife, who intensely dislikes mayo, would really love this version. Pickles were of the half-sour variety, which I really enjoy -- and these had a nice pop of garlic and spice, so they made their presence known. In the end, a meal at Canter's is a mixed bag these days. The deli food may not be the very best in town, but is still quite decent, and the affordable prices are much appreciated. However, the dim lighting and physical decline of the venue combine to create the atmosphere of a dive, and that most definitely subtracts from the overall enjoyment of eating there.

Expect a line when you arrive but the staff moves pretty quickly. You order at the counter and once your order is ready you pay upon pick up along with any items you picked up from the store.

What looks like an intimidating ordering situations was actually really easy. I think I was expecting a NYC style service counter where you get yelled at if you don't know exactly what you want, but the staff was so nice and helpful. My wife and I split the whole turkey sub with mild peppers and American cheese, no pickles. The bread was great--a little on the crusty side, but otherwise very flavorful. All of the veggies and meat were very fresh, and the experience was cool over all. You grab a ticket at the counter, wait for them to call your number, then you order and step back while they make yours and a handful of others at the same time. I grabbed some chips and drinks while I waited, which only took 5 minutes or so, then paid at the front (cash or debit only) and enjoyed our lunch at one of the outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try the meatball sub, which I eyed somebody else eating and immediately wanted a taste. I'll probably grab a turkey sub, too, while I'm at it.
