-Adults only- -Rated X- :-}
Orgasm Alert! I've traveled for business most of my adult life and have been to all 50 states including AK and HI, most several times. I've consumed thousands of subs and never once tried Firehouse. Today, I lost my Firehouse virginity!
The App- Being a virgin I downloaded the app, and it was simple as expected. I registered myself and received a deal for 50% off my 1st visit. Sweet! You can choose Pickup or Delivery but not Dine In and that annoys me.
Brand Positioning- Firehouse Subs is known for its premium meats and cheeses, on toasted private-recipe sub rolls. They are also known for a custom mural inside each location. Finally, their subs are heftier than most competitors. You should expect the ambience, customer service and the food to all be significantly above average.
Arriving- They are seconds off US Route 27 Northbound and a snap to find with a small parking lot.
Ambiance- Who the hell cares in most sub shops but not here! All the décor is firehouse related and is very impressive! The mural is the actual Sebring Fire Station and beyond impressive! The place was spotless!
Wi-Fi- Free with no password needed. Also, power outlets are much more numerous and available here than in most sandwich shops. Much appreciated!
Customer Service- Ten stars! I was greeted immediately and mentioned that my Pickup was actually Eat In. An employee jumped to it, asked me where I wanted to sit and brought my order to me on a tray. Beats unpacking a pickup order!
Pro Tip- Their fountain beverages are Coke (Freestyle machine) products, and they offer the Layes line of chips.
Food- I ordered the 8" New York Steamer combo with chips and a small drink at about $14. This sandwich had corned beef, pastrami, provolone and assorted condiments. It was available instantly as I ordered ahead.
As advertised the bread was toasted and a bit denser than some competitors. The meats and cheese are steamed and that makes a significant difference in the flavor. I added caramelized onions, and they were delicious. The meats tasted premium. The overall sandwich was definitely superior to many chain competitors!
Conclusion- So this no longer virgin definitely had an orgasmic 5-star experience! read more
