Tip: Sign up for Firehouse Subs rewards. You earn points towards free food.
I frequent a plaza in Scarborough, on the border with Markham, that has a Circle K, Esso, Walmart, and Chatime often. I recall waiting for the traffic light to change. I looked at the sign at this plaza and it had Firehouse Subs.
Really? It was news to me. I learned that it had set up shop next to Chatime.
This eatery has taken over from where M&M Food Market used to be. Previously, it was a Sally Beauty.
Here's hoping that Firehouse Subs sticks around.
I felt like a sub for dinner. I ordered online and signed up for Firehouse Subs rewards. I can earn points towards free food. I am close to getting a free bag of chips already. I got a welcome gift of 100 points.
I ordered a combo containing the following items:
- Large Montreal smoked meat sub
- Harvest cheddar Sun Chips
- Medium fountain drink
I paid online. It was a smooth transaction.
I was in downtown Markham. I headed over to this eatery.
There is lots of parking in front of Firehouse Subs. I pulled into a spot and walked in.
There was a man waiting for his order. A couple was ordering in front of me. The man loudly asked what size his drink was. The woman behind the counter had the patience of a saint. She let him know that it was a medium.
I was looking for the Rapid Rescue sign. I saw nothing. Instead, I approached the woman and indicated that I had a takeout order.
Halfway through rattling off my name, I noticed that there was a cubby area to my left, but low to the ground. I saw my name on a paper bag.
She smiled. It was indeed my order. There was a cup for my fountain drink. She went to get me a bag of harvest cheddar Sun Chips and put it in my bag.
I thanked her and wished her a great evening. She reciprocated.
There were a few folks dining in. I headed over to the fountain drinks machine, put some ice and filled it up with Diet Coke. I put a lid on it and stuck a straw through it. Done!
I walked out with my order, safely placing everything in my car. I drove home and looked forward to dinner.
It was my first time getting a large sub. I was hungry. The Montreal smoked meat sub was excellent. It had a lot of smoked meat that was tender and yummy. It was surprisingly not overly salty.
I got it on whole wheat bread. I loved it. Perfect!
My sub had a lot of mayo. The deli mustard had a kick to it. I'm guessing that it was mixed with horseradish. My sinuses were cleared up, which I appreciated.
The only downside was that it came with onions. I didn't customize my sub. I wanted to enjoy it the way that it was intended to be eaten. I got four thick onion rings in my sub. They had that burning raw taste when I had a bite. I was not a fan.
I took the remaining rings out. If I had one more onion ring, I could have made the Olympics rings logo.
The provolone cheese was perfectly paired with the smoked meat. So good!
I devoured this sub. It's here for a limited time. I need to get it again before it's gone.
I love harvest cheddar Sun Chips. I actually got two bags. Double the enjoyment. Yes!
My Diet Coke was refreshing and washed everything down.
I had a great experience. I'm glad that this location exists. It's a lot closer coming here than the one on Markham Road, just south of Major Mackenzie Drive.
I'll be back.
