    Veggie Sub
    Harsh C.

    Ordered subs for delivery and we were pretty disappointed. The subs arrived cold but that was something minor. The flavor and seasoning was very bland (we ordered the veggie sub). Each normal size sub was on average pretty small compared to other places and it was $10. Overall, don't really recommend this place, rather go to Potbelly or another better sub place.

    Tomato and onion slice.

    First time here, the service was fast the place was empty and clean and the food was hot! However what's so special about these subs? I was not impressed the bread was doughy and plain there was about a table spoon of shredded lettuce on the sub at the most. I was surprised at the tomato and onion sparseness. Seems that shrinkflation hit the sub sandwich. So laughable! See photo. I won't be returning.

    Where's the beef? Steak & cheese w banana peppers & onions. Inedible-chewy-dry-Hardly any meat

    1. Quantity of meat was lacking esp for the premium price. (except meatball) 2. Beware Online Ordering-our special instructions did not appear on receipt & was not processed (replicated issue to verify & notified company of issue-no response) 3. Quality-taste of meat was great for the meatball & pastrami. The STEAK WAS INEDIBLE, DRY & CHEWY 4. Company does not stand behind product & would only comment that their subs are med 8" large 12", but DIDN'T ADDRESS QUALITY CONCERNS w steak or QUANTITY OF MEAT (I even provided pics that clearly identified concerns) 5. STEAK WAS INEDIBLE--had to reiterate as we had to throw out & company failed to respond *not sure if it was the staff preparing that did not provide acceptable quantity that 3 of us agreed

    Sweet and Spicy Meatball sub on wheat bread.

    I've only been to Firehouse once before, in Wheaton. It wasn't a very memorable experience but I thought I'd give them another chance. My normal sub from almost anywhere is the Italian, or some variation of it. Today I thought a meatball sub would be appropriate, given the damp, dreary weather and my inability to warm up. I places my order: a medium meatball sub on wheat. The cashier asked if I wanted a regular meatball sub, or sweet and spicy. Guess which one I chose. I also grabbed a bottle of water, naturally. While waiting for my food, I inspected my surroundings. It has your typical firehouse theme going on, and there's a large selection of hot sauces to top your sandwich with. For those who desire a side of diabetes, obesity, or cavaties with their meal, a Coca Cola Freestyle machine is available to satisfy your sweet tooth or spike your insulin levels. The tables looked clean, even during the lunch rush. Once my order was ready, an employee called my name. He was rather quiet and had to repeat it before I hear him, even though I was at the pick up counter. I opened the container and was pleased. The sandwich looked good- the cheese evenly melted, and a healthy dash of red pepper flakes on top of the cheese. The first bite? Holy hell, where's the firehose? This baby was spicy! And I loved it. The sweetness of the sauce was equally pleasing. I was also glad to see I received a pickle on the side. I'm glad I decided to give this place another shot. The prices are fair and the food was delicious. It's close to both work and home, so there's no doubt I may become a regular here.

    3.5 stars, but rounded up because I didn't feel they deserved any deduction…read more I was REALLY looking forward to their #20 Old New Yorker, which I got in their Navel Cut pastrami. It was a solid 7, which is why I place it at 3.5 stars. I may be being picky here but it just wasn't to the level of "melt-in-your-mouth" pastrami standards for me. Not to say it wasn't good, because it was perfectly fine. In fact, it's better than most of the pastrami sandwiches I tried in Chicagoland. Maybe it's the fact that I had to bring it back to the office to eat it, and half hour had gone by and pastrami weren't as warm and the Jewish rye had become soggy by the time I took the first bite. I mean, it goes without saying that the sandwich would have been 3 times better had I sat down immediately and had it. Again, all things considered, it was a perfectly good sandwich. One interesting thing was that I had never been to an establishment that included a half sour pickle instead of a normal one and gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Pickles can be a hit or a miss for me. I like my pickles to be crunch, but some places offer overripened ones that become borderline mushy. Schmaltz's half sour pickle was not overly salty or sour, making it very attractive for me. The more I'm thinking about it, I'm convinced that I'll have to go back and try their #14 Sloppy Paul, which is the corned beef with sauerkraut, which is another favorite of mine. And this time, I'll be sure to dine in and give another review of it to see how much I like them better.

Mine was absolutely delicious. Tons of beef, melty swiss, and grilled onion. Served nice and hot with a tasty au jus. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his as well. Great Jewish deli. Highly recommend whether you're Jewish or not! ;)

Gets crowded. The menu features lots of salads and sandwiches like any deli should have really. Basically it has many of the classics. It's one of those places you order at the counter and they bring it out. There's also many of the customers who get takeout. A bad thing is it can take a long time to get anything. Lots of times they're really slow. It's about $10 for a Beyond Burger. This is one of the main vegetarian options. A pretty typical one with the basic toppings but nothing special to be honest. Of course there's lots of paninis filled with meat. There's also the Reuben made with the classic corned beef, or it can be made with pastrami. Also has it available as vegetarian made with mushrooms. The rest of the menu has the typical stuff like chicken salad and egg salad. For sure it's a great place at lunch except for being crowded. It's located on 75th Street at Millbrook. The place is always crowded so most seem to get takeout.
