You should change the name to PICKLE HOUSE SUBS. You have an option on your app for "no pickle" which I checked. I even added notes "NO PICKLE SPEAR." But we still got a pickle spear in with each sandwich. I don't like pickle spears. I don't like how they make my sandwich smell. But no matter what I do, you include a pickle spear in with my sandwich every single time. If you look at my order, it's hard to fathom the incompetence of putting a pickle in with each sandwich. Why include the option on your app only to ignore it? Why include a space for notes and not read them? You should have a disclaimer on your menu that no matter what sandwich you order, no matter what you do or say, YOU ARE GETTING A PICKLE SPEAR WITH EVERY SANDWICH! Because that would be honest. read more

Firehouse Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Van Nuys, California

What a disappointment! Slower than a sit down dinner. While customers waited the employees and manager were busy restocking a nearly full fridge with sodas, going over schedules and just disappointing into the back. This includes the manager. The quality of their meats and bread are barely average. I regret coming here for lunch, I won't be back. read more

Not giving a 1 star because: - They had a sign stating they were short staffed (although there were 4 employees and 1 manager). - Sandwich was acceptable; first time there, but not my preference. - Clearly inexperienced personnel; hopefully somewhat new. They deserve 1 star because: - Had water slowly dripping from roof, creating a puddle in front of chip rack. I notified them when I ordered, sounded like message was relayed to a manager, but was never taken care of the 20+ minutes I was there. Manager actually immediately left after I brought it up. Safety has to be +1. - Guy with medium length hair should be wearing a hat like all the ladies were. - I was second in line when I ordered, one person behind me. Five minutes went by until about a dozen people got in line and ordered. Four separate orders were placed after mine and 3 of those immediately got their food; clearly wasn't a call in or online order, yet their orders were slipped into the online rack ahead of my order, and the one order ahead of mine. These people were +4, +5, +7, & +3 in line. +3 actually went up to ask for an update and they told him his sandwich had just been sitting there. He was pissed...which made me ask about mine. - Like I mentioned earlier, 20+ minutes for one medium sandwich with 3 people making sandwiches. No other online orders were picked up at this time, so they weren't making those. Management/Owner, you have to do better. There were at least a dozen of us there pretty disappointed with it all. Hopefully no one slips in that water and sues you. I've heard the commercials and they're professional and represent the company well, but the experience I had was poor and I will not return; to this location at least. read more

The samwhichea are always good, but what really makes this place better than other samwhich shops is the manager, Jocelyn. Every time I come in, she is so excellent and friendly. Her attitude is always so fantastic it's so surprising and refreshing to see such a nice person. I would follow her anywhere she makes this firehouse a standout. read more

We reviewed this location for fire house, subs two weeks ago. We wanted to share that our order was not ready on arrival, in fact, it hadn't even been looked at. Those sandwiches were prepared based off of their standard, and all request on the order were ignored. We received an apology email from the manager. We were told to come back another time for complementary sandwiches, yada, yada yada. We came back again tonight, to pick up sandwiches we ordered yesterday. We had the same situation. The order wasn't ready. What we got was a series of excuses. Our experiences have been very disappointing and we will not be frequenting this location again. For those of you that enjoy placing orders and having them honored, I suggest you skip going to this place as well. Really bad service. read more

I came here on Saturday June 11th,2022 at 4:10. Today was first time ever wanting to try this place, and I do live close by, I drove out my way to say the least. When I arrived the doors were locked, and there was a sign on the door which I have attached to this review. Now I understand places are understaffed, and they had a sign that said they are open from 11:00 a.m - 7:00 p.m. But to close the business at 4:00 is completely unacceptable! I would never in my life recommend this place to anyone. Terrible establishment! read more

Firehouse Subs - Beware!!!Closure sign - Sandwiches Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I'm shocked this location doesn't have more reviews. The Smoked BBQ sandwich is THE best! Every time Fire House is the choice to stop in all their severs are super kind and friendly but make sure your food is handled with care! They have the machines with so many drink flavors which is great! It's clean and roomy to sit and dine in if you want to. Def a go to sandwich spot. read more

More than a little sad, no one here shows any interest in doing their job. The place is dirty, the chips and drinks not stocked. I have been waiting 20 minutes for my sandwich. Clearly they don't care about this place. Maybe the manager quit? read more

I've never had such a horrible experience at firehouse. I ordered 2 sandwiches with different veggies. When I opened my order it was just bread & meat. I was charged for it but received nothing. Very DISAPPOINTED. read more

Afternoon lunch was a success!!! Delicious and fresh ingredients. Very impressed with this spot . Ordered a large and was full on just half . Plenty of meat and the bread was warm and soft . Not too bad of a price considering what you get . Will definitely be coming back for more . Yummm read more

Firehouse Subs - Large steamer fully loaded !!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Paid $28 for two sandwiches for me and my husband. I asked for bacon(which was extra) jalapeños, pickles, cucumbers, onions , lettuce etc and got a sandwich with nothing but turkey and lettuce and cheese . Such a waste of money . And the staff member (my husband didn't get her name) had an attitude when he didn't tip them due to bad service. I'd definitely like my money back read more

Firehouse Subs - Everything I paid for was missing - Sandwiches Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Ordered two turkey sandwiches and added chopped pickle to one of them. Instead, they added it to both sandwiches and since the pickles are chopped and are all blended in with the lettuce and mayo, it's impossible to pick them off. Threw my sandwich away. Definitely won't be eating here again. read more

So after I was private messaged by fellow Yelp-ers, at their behest, I decided to give Firehouse Subs yet ANOTHER shot. After my two previous visits, ordering the "Italian" as a "cold" sandwich, I decided maybe they just can't make a "cold" sub without serving chilled bread. So, this time I did not customize anything. Knowing I'd get the "hot" version, I ordered and said "just do it the way you guys regularly do it." So I got a small "Italian" ($6.29) and a small "Firehouse Hero" ($6.29) with a bottle of Dasani ($1.99). First the "Italian" with Genoa salami, pepperoni, and honey ham. Much better than last time. The way they prepared the bread was much more palatable than when I ordered the cold version. The slight crispiness of the bread and light flakiness of the crust made it seem much fresher than the "cold" version I had the last two visits. But I still felt I was eating mostly bread because they are very light on the meat (probably 2.5oz which would mean a regular sub would get about 5oz so I think I am probably fairly accurate). More on that in a minute. Next, onto the "Firehouse Hero." It was pretty good, not as tasty as the Italian, which benefited from more robust meats and Italian dressing. This sub has roast beef, smoked turkey breast, and Virginia honey ham. But I think in general that because these subs lack meat, it's hard to appreciate the three meats on this sandwich because ONE slice of this and ONE slice of that just kind of homogenizes into a nondescript taste. I would rather the price was raised just a tad in order to put more meat on there. Far from how they promote "Oversized portions of premium hand-sliced meat and cheese." Oversized is a serious reach. So, a bit of a rant here, because I know Firehouse Corporate is reading these reviews and responding to them. I am giving you all unsolicited input. When you order a sub "cold", as you promote on your menu, the bread has been not good. I don't know one person that orders a cold sub because they love their bread cold and dense, giving the bread a stale texture and feeling. They expect the bread to at least SEEM fresh. If I wanted a sandwich with cold bread I would just pull into a gas station or convenience store and go to the refrigerator case and pick one out. I think that's where the disconnect lies. If Firehouse lightly toasted the bread like they do on their hot subs, and then added the cold ingredients, I think their "cold" product would be 1000-times better. The ever so slight treatment of the bread is a HUGE difference. I would make that the standard operating procedure if I were the store owner or recommend that preparation method to customers when ordering the "cold" versions. BTW, the staff was very friendly. So GREAT JOB there. I'm giving them FOUR stars, but I really think they are a 3-star. I am giving 4-stars to counter my previous bad rating. Still not my favorite sub place but my aversion is gone. I CERTAINLY would visit them again. read more

The sandwich was amazing! I am not sure what they add in between each slice of ham and turkey but I still think about how delicious this sandwich was. The bread was toasted to perfection cannot wait to go again read more

The food is great but their safety protocols are crap. I'm pregnant and went to pick up a sandwich, and there are tons of people in line inside elbow to elbow. Aren't we in a pandemic? They should be six feet apart from each person. Robeks next store has signs of staying six feet apart on the floor and is taking protocols to protect it's customers but definitely not firehouse. I'm very disappointed. read more

Husband and I love firehouse but the last 2 order we were charged for bacon and avocado and not given. Spoke to manager Diana sweet person told us to come in to make it right. I came in but the place looked sooo dirty!!! The first cashier was rude or having a bad day and 2nd person who helped me was nice and gave me replacement sandwich's but had no vegetables like I asked and sooooo much Mayo that's not normal for a sandwich. It wasn't eatable due to the extra Mayo they poured on it.... So disappointed had to throw the sandwich away... even us scraping the Mayo off still nasty read more

Firehouse Subs - Extra Mayo no good - Sandwiches Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The food is great i can say it's better than other sandwiches I've had in the past and the price is fair, the customer service is also pretty good , they were quick and helpful. The location was clean and organized and pretty spacious it got full in just a few minutes. read more

HOW DARE YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME SIMPLY BECAUSE I WANT TO ORDER FOOD AND I WANT THE MISTAKES FIXED. Unbelievable experience at this location. They were better for a few weeks but now they are back to treating customers like crap and making sandwiches wrong and lying about what they did or didn't do. Asked for a supervisor and was told Joselyn was not there. No explanation as to where she was or when she would be in. So apparently these exceptionally rude and incompetent employees are left unsupervised. If I still worked in restaurant management, I would get a job there just so I could fire the staff and hire people who are familiar with customer service. read more

Super overpriced. Wasted $40 on 2 subpar sandwiches. Granted, we ordered through Grubhub (free delivery perk) so that included the tip as well, but I would have been unhappy spending any amount of there for this food. If you like large portions and don't care too much about quality and taste, then this place is probably for you! read more

I went to fire house today for the time and let me say it was worst experience ever. There was a lady named jocylen who didn't where a mask. She looks like she doesn't care about the pandemic. People there were slow and took forever to do a sandwich. The place was terrible. Although there was a lot of negative I have towards this place I have to say the only thing I did like was a specific worker, his name was armando . He was very loud and talkative and would kinda get distracted but he would try to make a perfect sandwich for the customers. He was also cute not gonna lie but I didn't know anything about bikes so I think I broke his heart. I'll be giving this a 3 star only because 1 worker cared for others and put others before him. Armando is best worker. Go team armando. read more

This has been my favorite sub restaurant since I was 15 living in Charlotte NC (before Firehouse expanded). You can't go wrong. Hook and ladder is to die for. I don't know how they do it, but it's unlike any other sub I've had and otherworldly. The Italian, steamer, and beef and cheddar brisket are nearly as good. Just amazing... ...Meatball sub, engineer and steak and cheese are awesome too. Always had great customer service at this location, and always received food promptly. Definitely a friendly staff who have been very helpful for me a few times. read more

First timer here and loveeeeed my sandwich. It was so light and so perfect! I also love the whole idea behind Firehouse Subs. Firemen created this place. Something I fully support.

I will definitely be back here again! read more

Worst place to go to in the valley. Very unsatisfied with the customer service. Do not go here. Not worth it. Trust me.

I came in to place an order Saturday afternoon. At this time there was one customer in the store. I walk up and place my order, even round up to donate and then my experience turns into a nightmare. I wait for my order and casually stand at the end where you pick up the food. Time continues to roll by. My friend who had been at Wendy's walks over to see what's taking so long. 15 minutes pass and that's when I approach the register and ask the person that took my order how much longer. There was at least 4 employees on the line. I see the cashier walk over to figure out what's going on. All of them look confused. They are talking amongst them selves at that point and disregarding me. There were 2 employees in particular that really upset me ( black hair with glasses and burgundy hair with winged eyeliner with pink eyeshadow on one eyelid). Black hair employee with glasses wanted to refuse to give me a refund. Which is absolutely ridiculous. I paid for food I never received. The burgundy hair employee was making faces behind her mask. Me and my friend could tell by the expressions of brows and her demeanor. While all the employees looked at each other dumbfounded , I asked for a refund or to remake my food. I said I don't really care what happened. Either one of These options would have worked for me. The Burgundy haired employee walks up to assist and questions me about my name / order. I realized that I had never gotten a receipt. After all that extra nonsense I got my refund. I asked for the Number to corporate which I never received but I did contact corporate. I don't appreciate being treated like that and I will be posting my Review everywhere. read more

Had a hiccup in my order and the manager personally called me and told me I would be refunded. Never got refunded. She lied

These guys are very friendly the food is really good and I really like this place. The cutest fresh and has great different tastes and varieties. read more

I never had firehouse subs before I had the Philly and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had from a franchise. Everything tasted fresh and juicy but not to juicy. Also I love the box they give you to hold the sandwiche that kept everything very clean read more

Now, take this review with a grain of salt, since I ordered a veggie sandwich and not a meat sandwich. But for you vegetarians or non-meat eaters just know that their 8" veggie sub is really just green peppers and onions. I mean, a pound of them. There were literally two small slices of tomatoes, four pieces of diced pickles and four banana peppers on a flimsy mattress of lettuce. Even subway dishes out more lettuce and they are extremely stingy these days. Problem with firehouse is that they're old school and still build their subs behind the counter, so if you take it togo odds are you'll feel short-changed. And at $8.99 for a MED VEGGIE sub...I expect LOTS of veggies. Even the cheese was minimal at best. I should be getting as much cheese as turkey or pastrami. I honestly couldn't even taste the cheese in several bites. Really what I was eating was a onion and pepper sandwich. If that's your thing, this place is 5 star. If not, steer clear or make sure you double and triple down in the veggies when you order. Thing is, I really like the taste of their bread, and the staff are great...it's just the corporate mandate of being chincy that irks me. At least at subway and jersey mikes and Quiznos you get to watch them as they make your Sammy--that way it's perfect every time. Same thing with most Jimmy Johns. Don't let Sandwich Regret get the best of you! Only you can prevent this from happened by being extremely detailed when you order--otherwise you'll be left with a mouthful of warm onions and peppers. Those are flavor hogs anyway--and should be a garnish, not the main ingredient. read more

I was just inside of this place and treated like i was a homeless person for using their bathroom to take a shit . I was inside of the bathroom for 4 minutes and you could clearly hear me washing my hands while all of a sudden there's a banging on the door by the bipolar manager lady. She was very rude to me treating me like a piece of shit and this is after i spent $21 for a somewhat nasty sub sandwich. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they want to be treated like crap. First of all, I'm not a homeless person and second of all didn't need this kind of treatment especially by a rude manager. read more

Boy, the customer service here is beyond horrible. I understand times are tough, but forcing a sandwich and bag of chips into a small bag where it gets crushed is just ridiculous. I ask for a bigger bag & I'm told sorry, we don't have any. What? Yes, you do. There's one right here for a pickup order (see picture). Horrible customer service & being lied straight to your face makes this location a one time visit place. read more

I come here pretty often, actually really often. I spend a lot of money here but it doesn't matter anymore. I went today around 8:40pm and they said they're not taking orders anymore although it says they close at 9:00pm. Fine for me, I just said alright, walked out, and decided I'll just stop eating here and keep my money. It's just petty stuff like that which annoys me. read more
