I just placed a catering order through them for my job, and I wanted to share what a great experience it was. I initially ran into some issues ordering online because the website requires at least 24 hours' notice for delivery. We considered using DoorDash instead, but catering orders weren't available there either. Thankfully, I called and spoke with Ana, and she was absolutely amazing. Her patience, professionalism, and outstanding customer service made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She went above and beyond to help, and I truly appreciated it. The food, as always, was delicious! The subs really hit the spot, the cookies were perfectly sweet, and the chips and lemonade were a great addition. We ordered the Deluxe Package, and everything was fresh, well-prepared, and enjoyed by the whole team. The food was great, but honestly, the customer service was even better. Thank you, Ana, for making this such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend. read more

MOOD: It's always a good time for Firehouse! REVIEW: It was way overdue for an update for this location. I am a regular here (proudly!) -- hehe -- and the sandwiches are always outstanding. I have learned that my personal preference is "no lettuce" as that seems to make the bread less soggy, but that just works for me. Ordering on their app is BEYOND easy and convenient, and very quick if you're busy like me. Sometimes, they are completely slammed with customers (awesome for them!) and if you need to edit something you ordered on the app, you might not be able to get through on the phone. That's the only negative thing on the Firehouse app is that you can't make comments or requests to orders. PRO TIP: Ask them to toast the bread FIRST on the garlic bread. That way it's also ^not soggy! I love Firehouse. I highly recommend and if I had to pick one of their sandwiches to try first, I would recommend the Meatball or the Club on a Sub. A zillion percent better than any other place out there, esp. Jersey M's or Jimmy J's. Those places don't begin to compare to the goodness of Firehouse. Enjoy! read more

This was my first visit to Firehouse subs here in Ventura. I've only seen this place before on TV ads. I'm based out of Pasadena and I don't think we have any of these locations nearby. I have driven by here many times and I was intrigued by how the food was. I'd ordered the meatball sub and it was amazing. I'd ordered online and if it was ready by the time I had got there. They are in the corner of the plaza of where Target and McDonald's is. I'd followed the signs of where to pick up orders, but then I also neglected to see the sign right below it says to go to the register. So then when I finally went to the register that was where my food was. And it was a quick and easy trip and I ate the rest of my sub back at home. I can't wait to try some of their other subs! Definitely a cold place and lots of different options than your usual Subway or other sub sandwich places. read more

I stopped by for a quick pickup order but I realized my sandwich was burnt to a toast. I had customized with sandwich with no dressings yet when I took a bite I realized they had made a mistake and put relish on it. It was not a flavor I like and it was also burned. Staff were very friendly but the order was incorrect. They have plenty of seating inside as well. Maybe I will give them another try another time. read more

We have never had a bad experience here. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and accommodating. The store is clean and inviting. Today's order was a quick on the run afternoon snack during a day of running errands. 1. Small meatball sub. Modified: easy (really easy) marinara sauce and add olives. It's a hit every time. 2. Small veggie sub. Modified: no lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, mustard or Italian dressing. Basically the cold stuff...lol. I did however add extra of both the caramelized green bell peppers and onions. I would have added extra mushrooms if it was an option....I love mushrooms. Also added olives. This sandwich was toasted, so for that reason I didn't want to add any cold items. I think I made the right decision for myself. This sandwich was delicious. The 3 cheese combo of provolone, cheddar and Monterey jack cheeses melted perfectly over the caramelized veggies. I also added the Captain Sorenson's Datil Pepper Hot Sauce. It added that extra flavor that made this sandwich a compete success. This won't be the last time I order this. Firehouse is always a great choice. read more

Great customer service! I asked for a recommendation for a sandwich and she told me her favorite was the Cajun chicken sandwich. Definitely didn't disappoint, soft bread great flavor and the perfect amount of spice with the jalapeños! I also tried the (new to me) fries they are doing... I can't say it enough these were amazing. They took over as the best take away fries I have had to date. Fresh they are perfect... I expected them to get soggy like all fried do in to go boxes.... NOPE there were still phenomenally crispy. The dipping sauce that comes with them is great as well. read more

The food in California is terrible, this is supposed to be a sandwich shop so bread is important, so why is their bread taste like a hamburger bun. Isn't it supposed to be crispy and not soggy? If you like a high priced soggy sandwich, they have that. read more

One of my family's favorite sub sandwich places in the 805. I've tried many of their sandwiches and they all have been delicious. Recently I tried the Pepperoni Meatball sandwich and it's very good. The seasoning, sauce and amount of meat was just perfect. My wife who loves her veggies always gets the Veggie combo. It's the only veggie option on the menu but she loves it. It is a little more pricey compared to Subway, especially if you want a footlong size sandwich, but it's worth it. Every time I've gone there the staff has been great and the place is kept tidy and clean. If you are looking for a new sub place, Firehouse Subs is worth checking out! read more

I've never been to firehouse subs before so I don't know if shrinkflation has ruined this place or if they've always been shockingly small but it is ridiculous. I couldn't believe how light it was when she handed me the to go bag. I'll never go here again, not worth it in a million years read more

This Firehouse Subs is great! I have been here several times now and it's always top notch! I don't live in the area but anytime I drive down the 101 I try to make a stop here. The service is great! The staff is always helpful too. This is definitely one of the top notch sub sandwich shops around! Give them a try. The subs are always tasty and fresh.

I'll be honest, I didn't even want to try this place. And I probably never would have if I didn't read Lea L's review. I like sandwiches, but I'm not really a big of a fan of sub sandwiches. And besides, when I do feel like having a sub, I just hit up Jersey Mike's, which is closer to my house than Firehouse. I saw no need to try this place. But then I read Lea's review and I liked what I read. In particular the part about how Firehouse has a discounted price on a different featured sub every day. I love discounted prices. I mean, who doesn't? Then I read the part about "for a limited time," and I said to myself, Mikey, you gotta get in on this! So I made my move. I rolled in on a Thursday. I looked at the menu and discovered the Thursday Special sub was Spicy Cajun Chicken. That didn't sound appealing to me at all. I noticed the Wednesday Special sub was the New York Steamer. That's way more like what I was interested in ordering. But I was a day late. If I wanted a NY Steamer I was going to have to pay full price. Dammit, I hate when that happens. I couldn't stand having to pay $10.49 for a sub that was $8.49 the day before, so I decided to order a Small NY Steamer ($6.49). (The discounted subs are Mediums, $8.49). I also asked them to make it with all pastrami instead of pastrami/corned beef, because I'm not into two meats on my sandwich, unless bacon is one of those meats. When I told the cashier I wanted the Small size sub I noticed her sizing me up. She looked skeptical. Small?, she very politely asked. I nodded and said, Yes, small, please. She paused for a minute, I would imagine because fat guys don't typically order the small size. Then she smiled ever so nicely and said, OK, I just want to be sure, you know, because a Small is, well, kinda small. I thanked her and confirmed my order. I'll tell you, I was impressed by her customer service skills. I could tell she didn't want me to be disappointed with my order. No one want to deal with an angry fat man. Just a few minutes later my sandwich was ready. I took about a dozen photos and a couple videos. Then a few more photos. Then I picked up the sandwich and took some photos like I was feeding the camera. I'm not OCD or anything. When I was sure I had plenty of photos I got busy with the sandwich. Oh, let me tell you, this was my kinda sandwich. I absolutely loved it. And yeah, it was Small, but it wasn't too small. For the $6.49 price I think it's a good value. The sandwich came with a pickle. I love pickles. But this particular pickle not so much. This pickle was disheveled, It looked like it had been in someone's pants pocket for a couple days. Or like it had its ass kicked in street fight. The skin was the only thing holding it together, the innards were all soft and mushy, I never saw a worse looking pickle. I felt sad that a cucumber had to die to make this abomination. But, shoot, the sandwich was just fine without the pickle. I think the sandwich knew it needed to step up because the pickle was so weak. And the sandwich totally rose to the occasion. I left out of the place very satisfied. In fact, I was really happy to have another sandwich place so close to my house, even if they were sub sandwiches. I made a plan to visit again, on a Wednesday, so I can get me a Medium NY Steamer. A Medium for $8.49 is a stone cold bargain. That deal of for a limited time only, so if enjoy a discount as much as I do, don't sleep on this! Mikey C says: thanks, Lea! See you next Wednesday, Firehouse Subs! read more

Great experience at Firehouse Subs! The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. I ordered the Hook & Ladder sub and it was delicious--warm, fresh, and packed with flavor. The bread was soft and everything tasted high quality. Definitely one of the better sandwich spots around. I'll be coming back again! read more

The $8.49 deal is now $9.29. It's less of a good deal and more of an effective 10% discount. Went on a Sunday and was planning to get the Italian sub for the discount- but since the discount isn't really much of a discount anymore I opted to get a Cajun chicken sub which I like better and was about $11 out the door. Service was good today, staff was polite and got my order correct. Restaurant is very clean as always. read more

Firehouse Subs - Italian club - Sandwiches Near Me - Ventura, California

The 1st time I had Firehouse Subs was at Universal Studios CityWalk a few years ago. The closest Firehouse would of been in Simi Valley. A year ago I happened to be in Ventura and accidentally spotted this while driving by. Finally got to try this one off of Main Street near Target. They have a sign for "Daily Medium Sub" for a limited time. I thought, that's cool. That means I need to try different subs each day lol... Note: Medium Subs. Since it was Saturday, my bf & I shared a Medium Club on a Sub. We just wanted a quick bite to hold us off before dinner. So the medium sub was just right. If you're hungry the Medium would be okay. Unless you're starving, then by all means get the Large Sub. Each order comes with a dill pickle slice. Drinks, Chips etc are extra. We had good service while our order was taken at the counter. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. You seat yourself. We dined inside since other patrons were all outside. Also there's a TV & Guy Fieri was on, so of course I chose inside. Shortly after we got seated our food was ready. Then it became busy. We enjoyed our sandwich & left happy. Will be back to try more Subs :) read more

Hubby and I stopped here on Memorial Day needing some lunch and since pretty much no one else was open. We hadn't been here before, but I'd come in again. I liked the sizing of the sandwiches and how you can get a pretty small one, or a medium/large one or a really big one. Their meats and veggies tasted fresh, our sandwich was made quickly, and the place was clean. They have one of those drink machines where you can select just about any combination of flavor. Our favorite kind. We left full and very satisfied. Thank you Firehouse Subs! read more

So on point! I wanted something close to The Bobbie (thanksgiving sandwich) from Capriotti's... this place nailed it! The service was quick and friendly. The vibe was super relaxed and welcoming. Been back a few times since! read more

A super slept on sandwich spot. If I know I will be on that side of town I make a point to make this my lunch stop.

Pretty tasty, little pricey but oh well these days. Customer service was ok. Pretty early when I got there so I won't judge them on that. Clean place read more

You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu. I haven't had a bad sandwich yet. Bread, meat, and toppings always are fresh. Sandwiches are filling. There's also plenty of parking in the lot. This location does get kinda crowded but sandwiches are made fast! read more

It's pricey but the beef barbecue cheddar sandwich is my go to. It's full of flavor and the cheddar is the best part of the sandwich!

This place is great for a good sandwich pickup. I appreciate how I can order ahead online and it is ready when I get there.

Great for gluten free bread!!! I was so excited when I found out they have gluten free options. I was diagnosed in 1999 with Celiac Disease and food now is sooo much better. Will frequent them read more

Food has always been delicious and very good. I want to point out Tatiana, whom I asked about the chicken and dumpling soup. She told me it was very good and she was right. I ordered a side of the soup, and to my surprise, it was excellent. I also had the prime rib steak sub that was just as good and delicious. read more

Hmmm. I really was expecting a five star sub experience. This was both of our first try at firehouse. The greeting was great, the employees checked on us during our meal, they thanked hubs for his 20+ years of service to our countty.The drink and chip selection was good (Coke products). However, our sandwichs were loaded with mayo and it really ruined the NY steamer sandwich. Most importantly our sandwichs were smaller than expected. And, we both left hungry. We noticed the large was a lot bigger. Also, I wasn't too impressed with cookie and brownie selection. The cookies were in plastic wrap, like most places. But when you get a warm cookie from chick'fila or Cafe Urban, it really ruins it for all other cookies. read more

I was very excited to try firehouse subs. I have been looking forward to a Philly cheesesteak all day. I don't in an order and they order a Philly cheesesteak. The woman behind the counter wrote it down wrong. I went and checked my order while I was driving and saw that it was wrong. So I called and said you gave me the wrong order. They said that they wrote the order down wrong but it's my problem. I don't see how and then writing my order down wrong and it being my fault. So I'm a little frustrated. And I won't be going back. read more

Bad experience. Bought 2 steak and cheese subs for almost $32 and I got 2 very soggy sandwiches. I've been going to the one in simi valley for many years and thought it would be just as good but was sadly disappointed. read more

I ordered their steak & cheese sub with added mushrooms and a side of mac & cheese. If there hadn't been a funky after taste in both of those items there would have been no taste at all. I was totally underwhelmed & extremely disappointed. The sandwich had very little cheese & more mushrooms than steak. Even the bread was tasteless. The cheese sauce was white & runny. Seriously, they were both just kind of nasty. read more

This place is fantastic! Exceeded my expectations. Fresh, fast, and friendly. Grateful to have a quality sub place here in Santa Maria. Thank you Firehouse Subs! read more

Love the subs here. Our favorite sub places closed down and we decided to give firehouse a try. Our 2 and 4 year old boys love it. I get the hook and ladder, the honey ham is amazing. The kids love the small rice crispy treat they get after they finish their sandwich. The patio area is perfect for kids. I have also seen dogs on the patio which is helpful with pets read more
