First time try-r here for me. Tested 2 for good measures. One was the Caprese (seasonal) and the other was pastrami. I did notice from pickup that the deli meats looked legit and the pastrami was align with it. The bread, of course, was what you'd expect from a franchise. I consider the pricing as higher ticket and it didn't meet the price point. read more

As someone who is a big fan of Subway, I was excited to try this place when i heard it for the first time. Very wide selection of subs and combinations to try out, the Firehouse Meatball stood out for me so I got that. There was a bit of a wait for the food to be made when we came at around lunch time and there were some people ahead of us. I was surprised to see that the sub came with a pickle. The sub itself was big and had large meatballs that was tucked so nicely in the bread haha. I liked the sub a lot but I think I would like it more if it was a bit saucier like with some BBQ sauce or mayo, otherwise the marinara sauce paired well with the meatballs!! This location had a lot of seating which was nice. read more

Terrible experience. Never use again. I ordered last Friday. One sub was wrong. Had to scrape off unwanted ingredients. Went through the app to complain (which is very difficult to navigate) and they wanted a picture. Really? $9.99 sub they want me to take away from my wife who is trying to eat the picked apart sub to pose for a pic. Even went through customer service. won't do anything without a phone. No problem, don't trust me, won't trust you to get an order correct. telling me everyone I know. used it for a comedy routine at my golf club. Jersey Mikes the way to go. read more

I used to travel to the US about 5 years ago and ate at Firehouse sometimes and liked the subs. The other day was in Bradford Ontario and thought I would stop by at Firehouse. What a mistake, I ordered the Italian sub and it was the worst sub I have ever had - There was no taste - Felt the meat was plastic - The cheese was plastic as well I ordered a medium and ate a quarter of it, then threw it out. I just don't know how any restaurant can serve food that is that horrible. Look at the pictures on their web site, the cheese does not look correct. Sad news, I used to like going once in awhile. read more

this is the first location of firehouse subs that I have been fortunate enough to visit. I've always been a sandwich person in my life and one of my earliest memories was subway back in the early 90s. sadly subway is a shell of its former self...but there is a new chief in town(get it?) firehouse subs is something on a level of a religious experience, everything on the sandwich is perfection, the bread, the meat and the toppings, all top notch. the hot sauce that they sell additionally is a really amazing blend of sweet and heat and a great portion size, given the price of the squeeze bottle. I would highly recommend phoning or filling out online for the order, as this is an amazing experience food wise, it does take a bit of time for the sandwich to be assembled. lots of parking spots available as this location is in a plaza. make sure to try the cherry limeade at this location, absolutely mind blowing drink. worth every penny and I cant wait to come back! don't forget to eat the pickle!!!!!!!!! read more

love firehouse subs! The staff is pleasant and well taken care of. I'm a repeat customer.

Place was messy and restroom was too The only good was the food. This is not good never seen this place so bad since it open read more

Bright, spacious, clean, friendly service. 4.5 stars. Delicious food. I wish they had a smaller size than medium though. My meatball sub was very delicious and quality cheese is always appreciated. My kid enjoyed her customized BLT. They were great with allergies - a binder with all items referenced inside. The buns remind me of old school pan rolls, in a good way. read more

Meh... This was my first time and potentially my last. I think it is cool that they have almost 20 types of sauce available, but in my book it is ultimately a gimmick. How is the food, the sandwich? Nothing special. I think the young guy behind the counter was unsure of himself and poured too much sauce on my meat. The sub was soggy. But also, it was too small and left me hungry, but also likely didn't absorb the liquid too well because of the size. Not many people there... more people going to Chipotle next door, but I know nothing about those guys. read more

I feel bad giving this place only two stars, but I won't be back. It was my first time and I think they are trying to copy Quiznos with their toasted subs. Their schtick is the fire station murals and a dozen hot sauces. Cool.. I mean they are trying to be a little different. With that said... 1- The subs are too small. We didn't order the smaller size and were still left hungry. The hot sauces are just sauce, they do not really do much or fill you up of course. 2- The price is seriously high for such a small sub. I would be happy if I paid $5, but I paid $15. 3- I assume it is a specific location issue, but the employees were slow and more interested in chitchatting with each other. They needed a booster shot to get moving or something. I am giving them 1 star because they are,a s said, trying to do something different and another star because some guy (presumably owner) came by to do a quality check, which is probably a rare thing at a sub parlour. read more

I had heard a lot about this chain so when they came to Maple it was the perfect opportunity to try it out. I was greeted by a moderately enthusiastic 10-12 followed by Welcome to Firehouse which was fine and I certainly get the fact that some chains like to make a little show out of it. That's cool. I ordered a medium NY Steamer which came with pastrami, brisket provolone and deli mustard. The standard also comes with mayo but I have never understood why anyone would want mayo on a pastrami sandwich but hey that's me. A medium is 8" and includes 4oz of meat which filled me up but didn't leave me feeling like I had eaten like a pig. Could I have done with a few extra ounces? Sure but at the same time I probably don't need it. Price was $8.49 plus tax which brought it to $9.60 which given the quality of the meat was fair. I'm not sure if moving to a large which gives you twice the meat for an additional $3.50 would be worth it though. I mean it is a better value but the cost/benefit ratio just isn't working for me on that. I would add that the inclusion of a quarter fill was a nice touch. Overall I would say a nice quality sandwich which offered decent value for my money but still a bit pricey. I didn't do a combo so I can't speak to the cost there. read more

Now this is a sub! So glad I decided to try this place. It's unlike any other sub place I've been to. The inside of the place has a firehouse theme. I got the Italian sub which was great. It had the perfect combination of toppings and sauce. All the subs come in three sizes - small, medium and large. The small size is really small. It's good for a snack. There are also a bunch of sauces on the side that you can try with your sub. I'm a sauce person so I loved the variety available. Each sub also comes with a pickle. Will definitely be returning to try some of the other subs. read more

We were driving through and these guys were near the highway so I hopped in to get everyone a sandwich so we can eat as we continue our drive back. It was my first time so I reckoned we should give it a try. Nothing special and expensive. I was not exactly full either for the high price. read more

These guys not only offer welcoming and friendly service but had the patience to answer my questions about their menu. The Firehouse theme is pretty cool but the truth is in their subs or sandwiches Ok yes the Pickles rock I enjoy a nice corned beef and they do a really good job as its fresh not from some kind of frozen package The fact they have hot to super hot sauces is a good part of their theme as well Great FRESH food served up like you like it read more

Bring your appetite to this place! All were very good and filling. We had the Meatball sub, Engineer sub, tomato soup and kids' Turkey & Provolone sub. My peanut allergic child was able to eat the sub. Service is good and accommodating. read more

I was in Vaughan for the first time socially in awhile and was hungry. I whipped open Yelp and searched hot and new and Firehouse Subs came to the top! It's tucked in the back of the Fortinos plaza near major Mackenzie and Jane. Walked in and immediately liked this place. Very cool design. Like a real fire station. They have a set up similar to subway or me sub but with a higher end sandwich shop like when Quiznos first came to Canada. There are 10 specialty sandwiches on their menu with the most popular being #5 - Turkey Bacon Ranch and #10 - the smokehouse beef and cheddar brisket, which is what I ordered. I had the medium which I ordered as it is to get a true sense for the flavour. The thinly sliced beef brisket reminded me of an Arby's Beef and cheddar - except not with that immediate urge to defecate or vomit. Not in this case it was actually quite well done and tasted pretty good and fresh with minimal cheddar but more BBQ sauce - which was more of a sweet sauce than a smokey. They seem to be growing rapidly in southern Ontario with 10 or 11 locations and growing. As an added bonus they ask you at time of payment if you'd like to round up to the next dollar to support first responders and their families. Really cool guys. Much respect. Eatcrest out. I liked the general look, feel and vibe of this place and the sandwiches were pretty good too at a fair price. I'd definitely come back. read more

Get subs, fresh-tasting, great price, pretty expansive selection, and have never been disappointed.

Firehouse Subs is like a better cleaner and higher-quality Quiznos. I ordered a steak and cheese sub and it was delicious. The friendly staff made my order quick and well. With Subway taking over the the sandwich market altogether, I was happy to see Firehouse Subs open near me. More competition is always better. I hope this place does well. read more

I had the Steak and cheese sub, the 12inches. Though the taste was really good by the time I got to the 2nd half of the sub, the bottom bun was so soggy I couldn't eat it. I didn't add any extra sauces, the only thing I add was mushrooms. So I paid over $20 for a 6 inch sub. People told me firehouse sub cost more but taste better. I don't feel it's worth the money. read more

I appreciate the vast hot sauce selection but beyond that it was pretty gross the one time I went. Ordered the brisket and they drowned it in mayo and my stomach was killing me after I left. Won't go back as there's better places to get higher quality/ more wholesome sandwiches. read more

My first time checking this place out today, I heard a lot of rave about it, so decided to finally try it. Me and the bf ordered one large Italian and one large beef cheddar brisket. My bf was really happy and satisfied with his choice. I like my sandwich as well, the only small criticism I have is that the meat ratio to bread was small. I left back a few chunks of bread and when I'm eating the sandwich I just felt like it could have been more meat to compensate for the size and thickness of the bread. Anyway, the rest was fine, service was spectacular, friendly and fast. I will be back to try the other sandwiches to see if it's better than the Italian. read more

So I love sub sandwiches and ever since I found out that OTHER place had fake ingrdients well I stopped eating them . This past week I met up with a friend and I was super excited to try Firehouse subs. I would see the signs whenever I was out in Whitby but Sunday was the day I finally go to try their location in Vaughan. Atomosphere : Esthetically the store was nice and clean; loved the layout and the designs. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't rush me as I decided. I got a medium hook and ladder sub with jalapenos. The variety of hot sauces had me undecided for 2 minutes. Sandwich : So good , nicely toasted with fresh toppings . I chose the sparkling limeaid and added 2 lime wesges. Always get the limeaid !!! I can't wait to go back with the mister to try a different sandwich. read more

It's OK. I find it overpriced for the what you get. The portions and the toppings should be stacked for what you pay for a sub. I would give them another chance but from what I've seen here it is overpriced for what you get. Owners reach out to say their disappointed but do nothing to make you feel like your business or your reviews matter. read more

The steak & cheese sandwich was delicious. One of the best steak sandwiches I've had. I added peppercorn ranch to it. Italian sub was good but not as good as the steak. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Pretty solid find I'm actually surprised I never did a review yet as I have ate here over ten times since I found it over a year ago but perhaps I was waiting to try something else to see if they are good period or just make the sandwich I keep getting very well. I always get the beef brisket and cheese with no frills and add some hot sauce. It's actually really good and some of the best brisket I've had. I will caution not to order delivery or take home as the bun gets soggy quick, too less than five minutes to get home and it already started; eating there the experience is superior, I'd probably be leaving a 3/5 if that or online delivery was my only experience I pretty much recommend the place to everyone who asks what's good in the area if they are not in diet land I'll likely never try anything else here as I was told by someone I sent that the beef is far better than the turkey Check it out if you are in the area and hungry read more

It was a 15 minute wait in Waterloo, and we paid for our subs, only to be told it would be later, it would be another 25 minute wait. Skip the dishes and online orders were taken as a priority. They won't get any of my business again! read more

Let me first share my general prejudice against subs before I give you my review proper. Hopefully, you will read the review taking my slant into account. I am not a fan of subs in general because they are not hard to make at home. On occasion I (or anyone) can make a great sub at home at a fraction of the price of a fast food sub place. When I eat out I like to have/order things I cannot make at home. Firehouse Subs is another US import and has been here for some 6 months. The shtick is that they are a ... well a firehouse and project that look and feel. As a bonus they offer a myriad of hot sauces (Twisted sauce by a member of Twisted Sister, Captain Sorensen, etc.) here. It is cool to have so many choices to compare and contrast.It is also cool that a business tries something different and has a special atmosphere. The catch here, however, is that firemen and houses are generally low-end and do not project quality or high-end anything. Their website mentions a small sub, but on location we were only offered a medium or a large for $2 more. I recommend the large because the medium ended up not being filling, which means the small sub is meaningless really. A medium sub with taxes is $10/person. The $10 is problematic because their subs are small and we had not opted for a combo or all the additional toppings they sell for extra money.... The subs are reminiscent of Quiznos and are served in similar baskets. I had the Engineer which is toasted smoked turkey. It was fine, nothing special, a little too small to be enough and came with a quarter of a pickle on the side. They have the usual steak, club, meatballs, etc. subs and toast a number of them. One can order chips and bla bla bla... The idiosyncratic atmosphere aside, the staff were funny. When we entered there was no mention or cheer or attention. A person who, I believe, is either the owner or the manager walked in from the back and the next two persons who came in received a cheerful loud welcome. Then the manager disappeared in the back and someone else walked in and... you guessed it. Oddly, the subs take as long as at Mr. Sub or Subway.. but those places have 1 or 2 employees while this place had 6 when we were there for lunch!!! Finally, the aforementioned manager or owner was a contrast to his employees and jovial and friendly and was making the rounds personally thanking customers for their business. I find that cool. read more

Phenomenal sandwich! Everything about it was perfect, the bread soft, the meat fresh sliced to perfection, all the veggies fresh as well! Hook & Ladder sub is what I had. Highly recommended! read more

I love a good sub but I was getting real tired of places where they use tweezers to peel off slices of meat so thin you can see through them and then carefully counting them to make sure you don't get an extra slice. God forbid! Needless to say a good sub was hard to find.... Until now! Firehouse subs are frick'n DELICIOUS!!!! And what a cool place! I love the Firehouse decor and the customer service is spot on. Although my first time there they DID forget to put on the extra toppings I requested, but after the first bite all was forgiven. The bread was warm and fresh, and the meat! Ahhhh the meat! Tender, tasty and stacked high. Firehouse subs might cost a little more than the others but when you consider that your sub is nearly twice the size of the others, has fresher ingredients and is waaaaay tastier, you just can't go wrong. Good stuff Firehouse! I now have a new favourite sub place. read more

Firehouse Subs - Literally an inch of yummy meat! LITERALLY!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

My order was wrong 4 times! Forgot the salad and drink when I came back to get it the employee was extremely rude. Her her hand on her hip she said "My bad"! The bag was right in front of her the entire time. When I drove away I looked in the bag and had no salad dressing went back again, and stated this is the third time I've been back. This time she just stood there staring blankly at me and then said "Next time try bringing an insulated bag ! Another employee handed me the salad dressing. As I was leaving She yelled very loudly "have a nice day". When we went to eat the salad the employee put a spoon instead of a fork and soup toppings in the bag ( oyster crackers ) No soup was ordered. By then my sub was cold. Very rude service and unprofessional. I would rate this location zero stars, upset I had to give it just one star to write the review. Try hiring mature employees! read more

Firehouse Subs proves there's a reason why the Subway franchise is closing. Firehouse Subs brings it back to basics by simplifying the way they make subs. All ingredients are fresh and made on the spot and I highly recommend the steak and cheese sub. All subs come with a set of ingredients already on it and you can add extra items if you want (every item comes with a juicy pickle). This place hits the spot every time I visit and if you have a chance, try out their in house special drink from their soft drink machine it is awesome. It is a bit pricey compared to other sub places but the quality of ingredients justifies the price you pay. Also, you have the option to round up your order $$ amount to assist local firefighters. All in all, give this place a chance and I can assure you, you'll have a different perspective as to how a sub sandwich should be. read more

When I order subs from here I always ask for the dressing on the side. The reason for this is that I'm doing take out and by the time I get home the bread is all soggy and unappetizing. So last night I ask the young man if the dressing is on the side and I get the puzzled look. The manager comes over to help,but instead of offering to fix it,he says that probably the sandwich won't be soggy. I will not return. read more

Heard about this place in the States always wanted to try it, but didn't want to go out of my way to do so. So after finishing shopping at Vaughan mills, fellow yelpers rated this place pretty high so we gave it a shot. Price wise they're a notch higher than subway but no comparison in quality. The subs are melt in your mouth and delicious. We will be back. read more

i had heard rave reviews of the subs @ firehouse subs...so i decided to try it out...i ordered a beef brisket and cheese sub...there was nothing particularly wrong with my sub other than i found it to be very bland with an underlying saltiness... there are 2 other things i would like to mention...the order taker at the counter was nearly intelligible with her conversation as she was wearing a mask and spoke very quickly...not a good combination...( the mask wearing is the only thing that truly impressed me ) also my bag and the napkins that were put in the bag were greasy from the prep persons hands...needless to say the napkins were disposed of as i do not feel that they were sanitary... to sum up: i will not likely return for another visit as i was underwhelmed to the nth degree...over priced, bland subs imho... read more

I was slightly skeptical about this place before going but after reading good reviews and seeing the menu I had to try it out. It was packed at lunch time on a Friday, which was a good sign. I loved the theme of the place and was surprised how much personality it had, following the Fireman theme all the way through. From the insane selection of hot sauces on the side wall, all number by order of hotness (heat?), to ability to round up your bill to the nearest dollar with all proceeds going to firefighter charities, it has a feel of its own. The wait times are a bit long but you quickly understand why when you dig into the food. Just fantastic. Skirts the line between deli and sub shop, with really smart use of things like dijon mustard and creamy italian dressing to make the amazing meat in the sub just POP. Can't wait to go back. read more

Wow! The subs are fantastic! The honey ham is out of this world! I just wish the prices were a bit cheaper, the subs were a bit bigger, and more veggie choices to add to the subs! read more

4.5 Stars Excellent service + Tasty, Quality meats + Fun Ambience. Top notch service from cashier to manager, makes Subway feel like an ex whom I'm so over with. Friendly manager (maybe he's the owner?) came by twice during the 2 hours we were there, even remembered what he said to us first time around. I ordered #1 Hook and Ladder Sub and my friend ordered #10, the most popular Smokehouse Beef and Cheddar Brisket Sub. I enjoyed mine fully loaded (except for the onions) and was so impressed I ordered #10 to go, and it didn't disappoint! Both subs packed with lots of meat and robust flavours. Prices are higher than Subway's but hey: you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. Deducting half a star becoz they don't offer Multigrain bread nor WiFi. Regardless, I will try to stop by again (and again). read more

The subs here are the BEST! The franchise owner here is a great guy! This place is super clean. The subs are honestly better than the hype! I am a foodie and these are extremely delicious in every way! Also, check out the selection of hot sauces. THAT is also incredible! Last, round off to the nearest dollar and the extra money goes to our local firefighters! Talk about a great thing... This concept has it all! read more
