My friends and I stopped by for some dinner after a saturday badminton session. We tried a bunch of large subs: firehouse captain club sub, smokehouse beef & cheddar brisket, brisket hat trick. I was blown away by the quality of the subs. WOW. Every sub was PACKED to the brim w/ goodies. No skimping out on ingredients. Tons of meat, tons of veggies, tons of sauce. For the hot subs, the meat was sooooo soft and easy to swallow. I had a bite of my friends' subs and they were all super delicious. The chicken in the captains club was so juicy. The beef in the smokehouse sub was melt in the mouth. The bread on all subs was toasted. They also have one of those nice machines w/ tons of different soda options to choose from (peach mello yellow zero SUPER UNDERRATED). Shoutout to Donte who helped me with my order as a first-timer to this store! Love that I was able to stack a bunch of extra add-ons for no additional charge. Also loved that every sub came w/ a dill pickle on the side (the pickles were delicious too). I was tempted to upgrade my bun to garlic bread but that'll be for another visit. In terms of price, it is premiumly priced at around $20-25 per sub which is expensive tbh. Does the quality justify that price tag? I would actually have to say yea it does! SOOOOO much meat packed into every sub. AND the employees don't treat you like dirt (*cough cough* Jersey Mike's, Subway and Mr. Sub I'm looking at you guys). Sooo jelly that there isn't a location closer to me at all but I signed up for the rewards program right away. MY GOD. Best subs I've had in recent memory. read more

Never been a sub lover until now. I was unsure of what sub to get but the guy working the cash was so helpful. He recommended the beef brisket which is the most popular and I can see why. The meat is perfectly smoked and matches so well with the cheddar cheese. Added carmelized onions. Amazing. I have dreams about this sub. read more

Wow, how did I not know of this sub place earlier? 5/5! Got this as take out and was so impressed having it for the first time. Definitely a go to from now on, it beats other fast food sub places. Got the cold cut and meatball sub. The cold cut was packed with lots of meat and was so fresh. But the star of the show was definitely the meatball sub. Meatballs were large in size, had malted cheese, toasted and so saucy! Just the way I like it. I love that their subs come with a slice of pickle, which adds to such a great taste/ bite to the sub when you want a change in your palette. The portions are large here and found myself being quite full and unable to finish the sub alone. It's pricier than other fast paced sub places but worth every penny and wait time. Can't wait to go back to try their other sub options soon! read more

Finally tried a sub from a Firehouse Subs, and damn, I really wish I had tried out their food sooner :( I ordered their [LARGE PEPPERONI MEATBALL SUB] $15.99 which consists of italian meatballs, marinara, extra provolone, crispy pepperoni, and Italian seasoning on a toasted garlic bread roll! You can also choose from a bunch of additional toppings to add onto it for free such as what I added: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, cucumbers, caramelized onions, chopped pickles, and black olives :D The meatballs are absolutely delicious, and very filling, honestly. I swear half a sandwich is already a meal if you ask meeee. I also like that it comes with a pickle speae as well since I'm a huge fan of pickles. Definitely going to try their other subs in the future because yummmmmmm read more

It's been a couple of years since I've eaten a sub and I've been meaning to try Firehouse Subs for quite a while. After perusing their menu, all looking delicious, I settled on the New York Steamer (corned beef brisket, pastrami, melted provolone, deli mustard, mayo, and Italian dressing). I upgraded from a bag of chips to a small bowl of Chili, and finished off the meal with a Cherry Coke. The sandwich was very meaty and delicious, with all fresh condiments. The chili was pretty good, and I always enjoy Cherry Coke! It felt a little on the pricey side but delicious enough to go back! read more

I was never a fan of Subway or Mr Sub, but my sister and brother-in-law put me onto Firehouse Subs. I always tell myself that I'll try something else, but I can't help but get the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket Sub every time. This sandwich is PERFECTION, I've never tasted anything quite like it. The price is a bit expensive compared to other sub places but you're paying for the quality and fresh ingredients. There's a promotion going on right now where if you create an account and order on their website or use the app, you get 50% off your order after 7 pm. They have seating in the restaurant so you're able to eat there. They take care in packaging your meal so that it stays fresh and doesn't get soggy. This way you can also enjoy it in the comfort of your own house. read more

Quick Service | Fresh Ingredients | Large Portions I've been wanting to try Firehouse Subs for what feels like years. I'm at the age where Subway is so disappointing and unsatisfying now. I had the opportunity to stop by while I was in Markham and I do not regret it at all. Upon entry for place is large and clean. They're also so on brand with the signage, decor and even the workers uni forms. One thing I love is that the menu is large and has visuals of each sandwich. They also make ordering easy with a visual step by step system. Now let me get into the sandwich. I had the Firehouse Special Hot Sub, medium size. It was PHENOMENAL. It's what all chain sub brands should be. The bread was crusty, the meats were fresh and thinly cut, the veggies were crunchy and crisp. The ingredients and meats were not simply by any means but this is the best example of "good" not having to be fancy. You can actually taste everything. I also love that you get a pickle spear on the side. This ran me almost $15 but it was worth it in my opinion. I didn't eat for the day so I took back this Sando no problem! read more

I'm usually not much of a sandwich/sub fan but I'm glad that I discovered Firehouse Subs. The restaurant is founded real firemen in the States and now they are bringing their sandwiches to Canada. I ordered the Hero Sub that was on promotion and the Italian Sub. I got both of the subs "fully involved" which came with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The sandwiches were massive as well and the large size was definitely enough for dinner for me. I was so impressed with how the sandwiches taste after the first bite. I think what makes their sandwiches so unique is because they steam the deli meats to retain the flavour and juiciness. Also, I add their special Datil Pepper Hot Sauce on my sandwich and it definitely compliments the subs really well. They also sell bottles of the hot sauce to take home too! read more

Went there for the first time. For my bro, and let me tell you, it's a boys hangout for sure. When we arrived four buddies were leaving to eat outside. And other two guys came by, in front of us. I could see why after we got the order, which was brisket and cheese footlong. The bread is soft and light not dense and stodgy, which what I feared. It was filled with lots of luciously soft meat, and finished with some flavourful old cheddar. And we picked up a cherry-lime drink which was so fab!! The next day, my brother wanted to go again!! Can't wait to try some other creations there. Really good. read more

one of my favourite places for sub sandwiches. I always order their Italian and it never disappoints. today was the first time ordering my sub sandwich on a gluten free bun. Obviously the regulars buns are better but this wasn't bad either. It is what it is! Can't wait for another firehouse dinner out! read more

I am glad that this has opened in Markham. Absolutely delicious. Manager (I think she was the manager) and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about their products. There are a lot of staff members working which helps with their speed. Everything tasted fresh and was hard to make a choice as everything looked good. They do have things around supporting fire fighters which is amazing like rounding off the bill or selling the buckets from pickles. Ended up getting the 16hr slow smoked beef brisket and cheddar. This was recommended. I got a large (12") with a broccoli cream soup. The sandwich comes with a pickle on the side. The sauce was sweet but lots of flavour. The portion of meat and cheddar is pretty generous and tastes work very well together. My wife ordered the Italian sub regular (8") this was very good. Healthy portion of meat, and you can see them slicing it on the spot so you know it's fresh. There are many items to choose from on the menu. Would love to try things like the meat ball sub. Look forward to visiting again. read more

I am not the type who must go to a grand opening. Opening weekend for a major movie? I'd rather wait three weeks before going. On Facebook, I noticed that Firehouse Subs was finally coming to Markham. Every time I'd hit Jersey Mike's Subs in Kitchener, I would see Firehouse Subs across the street and knew that I needed to go there someday. That day was today, but closer to home. Last week, I signed up for a free sub on its soft opening day. The catch was that you had to be on Facebook and you needed to reserve your spot. How organized! My event slot was at 1:20 pm. I got there just before that time. There was a welcome table just outside the main doors. I said my name and I was good. The nice person at this table said that donations were welcome, which were going to the local firefighter departments. You donate when you place your order. Cool! Naturally, it was a madhouse inside. There were at least a dozen staff making sandwiches and guiding both staff and customers. You get a cheer when you first walk in, welcoming you to Firehouse Subs. Okay, that made me alert for a good ten seconds. I went to the back and asked how ordering worked. All subs are steaming hot. However, if you like cold subs, this place can accommodate your request. I liked how he asked me what kinds of meat I like. I like 'em all, which is not helpful! He recommended either the Hook & Ladder, or Smokehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket. I went with the latter. You can customize it how you like. I went with how it's made. You get a pickle on the side. I told him to hold it. If you are going today, be prepared to wait 25 to 30 minutes for your order. The woman behind me was incredibly impatient, asking one of the staff members how long she would need to wait and looking all nervous. She had ordered after I did and got her order first. I wasn't steaming up. The meats and cheese were doing that for me... haha! Seriously, I actually enjoyed chatting with customers and the nice female employee while I was waiting for my food. I chatted with a customer who was ahead of me. She was looking at potato chip bags and I asked if I should move, as my standing in front of them wasn't helping her. She laughed. I learned that another Firehouse Subs will be opening in Stouffville, where she lives. She was great as we waited for our meals. I was looking at all the steamer vessels behind the counter and asked the Firehouse Subs woman behind me how they work. Meats and cheese are steamed together, depending on your order. The water gets drained before your sub is made. Cool! She also explained that the bread is toasted, too. The woman preparing my sub almost instinctually knew that she was working on my order. She looked up and said my name as she was looking at me. She thanked me for being so patient, as she handed me my order in a paper bag. I thanked her back and wished her a great day. Staff here were working exceptionally hard when I was there. They all had gloves on and were following food-handling practices without any deviation. There was also a main food manager who was helping everyone with food preparation. There were roughly six tables. As you can imagine with today's soft opening, there weren't any tables available. Instead, I headed to my car to eat. My sub was delicious! If you want a steaming hot sub, Firehouse Subs is where it's at. My beef brisket and cheddar sub was perfect. The brisket was tender. You practically don't need to chew. The bread was toasted, chewy, and perfect. I loved the cheese, mayo, and barbeque sauce. I loved my sub and was sad when I ate it all up! My sub was just under $10 with tax if I had to pay for it. It does run on the higher side price-wise. However, it's worth it for the quality and deliciousness of a decent sub. Yum! When all the crazy hype dies down, I'll be back for more. Welcome to the neighbourhood! (406) read more

Did not expect such stellar sandwiches from a chain shop like this! Thought it was a run of the mill chain, but they have really high quality ingredients and even higher quality service! Been here multiple times and each time has been a good as the last! Can't go wrong with their classic sandwich but their meatball sub is great too! read more

This fairly new sub restaurant is amongst a bunch of other food places. Walking in, you really get the firefighter themed vibe going on. They have a lot of different options that you can't find at Subway or Mr.Sub which I like a lot. Their prices are a bit more expensive than other sub places, but I think it's worth it, considering how fresh and tasty the ingredients are. I ordered a medium Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket sub. You get to add your own toppings as well (for free). I like how they have sautéed fried onions as an option. A side of pickle comes with your order as well. They have a station with different types of hot sauce and BBQ sauce on the side, which I found pretty neat. There were almost 50 different types. The staff were nice, and actually gave me a few recommendations as well. I would definitely come back and try the other subs here. read more

I ordered the smokehouse beef and cheddar brisket sub. I liked that they didn't just wrap it in paper/foil and put it in a bag. It also came in a box, which helped keep the integrity of the sub on the journey home. It was still toasty with strong grill marks on top when I opened it. I really like how much meat they loaded into it and the mealty cheese, clinging everywhere. I felt it might have been a little salt for me but overall I was really happy with it. My first sub of 2022. read more

Finally trying Firehouse Subs! I've heard good things, and they weren't wrong. The subs are pricey, but they are worth the price for the amount of meat and toppings you get, plus that nice bun. I got the Italian and the Steak & Cheese, both Medium and it came to $22 with the round up donation (which I like!). The medium sub was filling, and was very tasty. It had a nice pile of meat on it and it wasn't "gross" or too much like sometimes meaty sandwiches can be. I got them as dressed on the menu, and I think that was the way to go for me, at least. They came with a crunchy pickle wrapped separately (which is great, I hate when they are lazily thrown in with the sandwich) , perfect for me to hand off to my BF since I don't like them! :) Since it's on the pricier side, this place will be more of a treat than a regular place, but I'm glad it's around. I like them better than Quizno's, that's for sure! read more

I don't usually write reviews for these types of places however, I must say that this franchise is exceptional. It is very clean, service is super polite, and of course the food is as expected. Whenever we have a large amount of guests at the house or for business reasons I love to order from here. They truly do cater to all tastes and always have the food ready on time. Fresh subs and good times. read more

Firehouse Subs - Club on a sub (first) New York steamer (second) - Sandwiches Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Where do I begin...? Once I was inside, I felt like I should be holding the leash of a dalmatian - this was how much it reminded me of fire station. The gear hung up on one of the walls, the color scheme, the wood, the vibe. Service, there's not much... after all, you line up to order your food and then you just wait for them to call your name. So I can't really comment on service. No doubt about it, their subs are good - i especially liked their Philly Cheese & Steak one. Cheese oozing out with every bite!! Meatballs, I'd personally prefer it in a bowl of spaghetti!!! Meatballs on a sub, doesn't seem right to me!!! The one thing I really really like is the variety of hot sauce that's available!!! There's like 20 different kinds (I've never ever heard of blueberry jalapeño)!! Was very excited to try it out after getting my sub! However, I could only give it a three star as I did find the price much to hefty for subs. Two small subs, one large one, and two cokes came to a total of over $40. If you don't mind spending that amount on bread, then I guess you'd love it! read more

Attended Grand Opening Event where they give free sub for each customer. I was able to try Engineer Sub where it has smoked turkey breast, melted swiss cheese, and sauteed mushroom. I love it. Tasted just right. Not the usual subs we try at Subway, their bread is toasted and it came out just the right crunchiness. Total calorie 690. New York Steamer is also very good. It includes choice cut beef brisket and pastrami, melted provolone, mayo, deli mustard and Italian dressing. Total calorie 720. Additional $3.29 to make a combo with choice of chips and fountain drink. Thank you Firehouse Sub for a filling tasteful experience. I will definitely come back and try other choices. read more

I never took the time to write a review about this place so here it is : ) The restaurant is very clean and you'll always find a spot to sit, they are very organized from how they stack their chips to the sauce bottles. This restaurant has 5 star reviews all around that's one good reason for you to come and eat here 99% have the same opinion. I come here all the time, I am obsessed with their -New York Steamer- the staff are always friendly on every visit I had and the food is always DELICIOUS, I did not have one bad experience or a sub that wasnt fresh. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FOOD QUALITY / TASTE / EXPERIENCE. The prices are very reasonable that's why I am here every week or twice a week for that reason i always donate $5.00 on every visit and it would be nice if others can even just "round to the nearest dollar" or donate a bit extra, as this is for a good cause. I will diffently be back, most likely this week haha just ate here yesterday. Yes I am hooked. 5 STAR read more

Love this place, my son and I came here a few times and we enjoyed it. We usually order a medium sandwich to share, the staff always very nice and friendly, they give him a fireman hat even we didn't buy the kids meal. This week we went again and ordered kids meal, the size is good for kids between 3-5 year old, my older one (5) can finish it but then he said he is hungry after 1 hr, so not recommend the kids meal. This place is way better than subway. Most of their subs are good, recommend! read more

Not a big selection. Tried the smokehouse beef and cheddar brisket and it tastes really good. There is a lot of meats inside and they have different levels of spicy sauces for you to use on your sub. Overall, good experience on their sub. read more

Bumped into this place yesterday. Picked their meatball sub. My goodness, It was good. Shared a large sub with my picky eater. She finished her half before I did. The meatball was so flavourful, along with the marinara sauce and mozzarella melted on top. Yum yum yum.... Yes, the sub was on the pricier side compared to other fast food sub places. But this gourmet sub was well worth it. The service was awesome as well. The cashier explained the whole process of how they put together my delicious sub. Then it was nicely put together. It was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back to try the other subs. read more

[Good] Any sub - Simply the best subs I've ever had. I've probably tried about half of their signature subs and all of them are warm, soft, savoury goodness. The soft and warm bread is packed with generous amounts of whatever meats and toppings you're into. Subs will also come with a pickle spear on the side of you wish as well. Hot sauces - At the end of the counter you will find a wide assortment of hot sauces labelled from 1 to 10 on a hotness scale. I'm sure you can find something to suit your tastebuds. Not a requisite add-on to the sub but it's a nice option to have. Service - Staff here have always been very friendly. Definitely better than other chains like Subway. [Worth it?] Heck ya! There was a time where I went once a week to try all their different subs. It's a little on the pricier side I'll admit and it takes a while for them to make fresh, but it's well worth the wait and the cost. If you are used to eating from Subway and you haven't discovered this place yet, it's a must try! read more

Firehouse subs is definitely a lot better than subway but quality always comes at a price. Heard only good things about this new and emerging chain and it's a welcome addition to Markham. The interior is very neat and has a firehall feel to it with the bricks and firefighter jackets and all. The menu is somewhat pricey, but I went with a medium sub which was still enough. I believe it's around 8 inches. It's still somewhat reasonably priced. There's still a lot of ingredients you can add-on free of charge although if you're looking for as many greens as subway, I didn't get that on this one. I went with the smoked cheddar beef brisket and really enjoyed it. Very tender meat and was done excellently with melted cheese. They had a bunch of hot sauces and regular sauces with a sticker numbering system for spiciness. They were excellent. And I went with numerous of them but really liked the spicy mango one in particular. read more

Well this sub was not a disappointment, it was full of flavour and worked together so well. It maybe a heavier and greaser than some would like (1500+ cal) but it was well worth it.

Look, I understand they are trying to be Quiznos, but with a hot sauce twist. Perhaps not their fault, but Firehouse is not for me. This was my first and last time. I ordered the large Philly steak and cheese and several problems: portion size was not satisfying. I was not full. Hot sauce does not work for such a sub and frankly not much taste otherwise. I think maybe people who are not too hungry would enjoy it more than I did. read more

Elevated submarine sandwiches~ Love the bright atmosphere. Love the friendly staff. Love the delicious subs!! My friend and I were met with lively greetings from the staff upon entry to the store-as other reviews mention-the staff are super cheerful and polite! The cashier even took the time mid-meal to check up on and ask us how everything was going! I ordered a medium firehouse hero sub with white bread and sauteed mushroom add-on with a pickle spear on the side. Their medium subs are 8" in size, which satisfied my appetite perfectly (not too big, not too small). The sandwich is packed with the different variety of meats, making each bite hearty and delightful! The pickle spear was very fresh and added a great complimentary high note to the main. :) My friend ordered a medium hook and ladder sub. She noted that she especially loved the soft and wholesome bread. The drink machine has a great variety of drinks. I usually avoid fountain drinks, but SPC got me a free drink. I was glad to see it had a fused tea options, and my favourite peach flavour! An experience full of smiles, can't wait to return and try some of their other sub varieties~! Cheers~ n.n read more

Always get it right, food is always fresh. Happy to support this business. Definitely a place we will return to.

It isn't the first time you get to try good food because of Social Media. This is how we stumbled on this place. Thank you foodie friends. Attended their Grand Opening yesterday and was able to sample their delicious sandwich. Apparently this was a chain of Sandwich subs that was originally founded by Firefighters years ago (I was hiding in my hole all these years I had no clue) and they've opened their 21st store here in North America (Markham) and glad we are that they did. There were a few errors with the service which was understandable, I would not take this against them now considering that they just opened. I had ordered the Firehouse "Hero" Sub and added Bacon and Sweet BBQ sauce on wheat bun and my gosh did it hit the right Spot and hit it good. I can't stop thinking about it all this time. The bread which by the way was WHEAT tasted so well with the sandwich, was warmed and toasted to perfection. Option for white was also available and you can tell they were fresh. They did not skimp on the meat here for filling, mine was overflowing with smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham and choice cut roast beef all that topped off with just the right amount of veggies, melted provolone cheese and sealed off with the Sweet BBQ sauce - just amazing! My buds are just elated at the very memory of my sandwich. They weren't kidding when they said Fully Involved on the menu, that sandwich had me Fully Committed ! (to finishing my plate that is ;)). I think their Sandwiches are just as HOT as the Firefighters that they put on the christmas calendar , ready and delectable to eat (HAHAHA) very well represented indeed! I cannot wait to go back and try their other sandwhiches. I hope they keep up the quality of their food! read more

decide to give this place a try after reading some of the review, ordered half/half steak and cheese with soup came on a sunday around 4:45pm, this place is clean, wait time is acceptable (around 10mins wait for my order) for the time i visited this place i agree with most of the reviews here that it runs on the pricer side, but this is better than your regular subway. the half sub i got was SO TINY! smaller than my hand / 6" you get at subway. it was the cheese/broccoli soup + crackers that filled me up. I regret getting the half/half, because i thought the sub is huge after reading a review.. i will def get the full sub next time. i want the sub to fill me up, not the soup. my sub was delicious and still warm when i got home. everything went well together, the bread was toasted nicely, crunchy on the outside and really soft on the inside! all the subs are pre-set with ingredients/toppings, however, you CAN substitute and customize the way you like. P.S. mediuem is 8" and large is 12". Came back the second time to try the meatballs and it was amazing! read more

Amazing sandwiches!! Worth the price in my opinion. I usually go for the engineer or hero sandwiches. "Hero" and "Engineer" sandwiches are specialty sandwiches, you can also order your own/build your own sandwiches as well. I like how it comes with a pickle on the side. The staff are usually very friendly welcoming all customers that walk in. If you like your sandwiches spicy, there is a section of hot sauces that you can seek out to add to your sandwiches. I enjoy firehouse subs, definitely better than Subway in my opinion, I highly recommend anyone try a Firehouse sub sandwich. read more

I saw this place announced in the papers and knew I had to check it out. My boyfriend was super excited about it since he saw a youtube video about this chain. So I think this place is still in it's soft opening when I went in. There were at least 6 people working on a Friday night and a good half of them were being trained for sure. With this in mind I was ready for slower service. The menu is very similar to any other sub place but unlike subway you don't see the ingredients and sub being made in front of you. They are all already set in the menu. I decided to go for the half and half menu; so I got half a hero sub and a broccoli and cheddar soup. I wasn't really expecting much tbh. But my oh my that half a sub was huge! The subs are not as wide as the ones at subway but there are definitely higher! The amount of toppings and meat packed onto that sub was overflowing. For me half a sub and a soup is enough. My boyfriend got the full sub and that thing was huge! There was so much cheese and meat on his. It's more meat than you would get at any other sub place even if you were to ask for MORE meat. There is no skimping on the toppings here. The only thing is that it is more expensive than other sub places. But you get what you pay for. I can see this place going far once all employees are properly trained and service picks up. read more

Finally came here after having it bookmarked for months, first seen the franchise in Ajax/Oshawa area about 2 years ago never got a chance to try it since so I'm glad they came to Markham. Waiting time from order to pick-up isn't too bad. Having a pre-fixed menu helps with that considering there isn't too much dependence on waiting on the customer: Dining/Waiting area is narrow and there are only a few tables for those wishing to dine-in, assortment of different hot sauces available by the front door and washroom is located behind the soda dispenser. Staff is friendly and helpful, guided me thru the menu narrowing down choices for me based on a few questions that she asked. Manager came along and asked opinions about the food, which I feel like any of their competition would never do as they don't usually care too much being a "fast-food" joint The food is good, I can't say it's the best sub i have ever had but it's a solid sandwich without a doubt. Yes I agree with 90% of the other reviews that say the pricing is a little higher than competitors but I feel like the ingredients are more premium and they don't skimp out on the protein! I got the NY Steamer and my partner got the Italian, both were good and was more than enough food with an added combo (chips and drink to share). read more
