It is in downtown Monroe with street parking and some public parking lots. Our daughter said she has been there around 11:00am and got a spot on the street right in front. It is very eclectic with decor and items for sale. They have indoor seating, seating along entrance hall and outdoor seating. You order at one counter, which has a large menu boards above the counter. The young lady that took our order was very nice. You pay over at the bar area. It was not busy at the time we were there. I had the Salad Sandwich. You can get it with chicken salad, tuna salad or chickLESS salad. I had the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with lettuce and tomato. There are other bread options. The wrap was filled with the chicken salad. It was nicely seasoned and tasted really good. My husband and daughter both did the Pick Your Burger, a build your own. My husband had the burger with bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, grilled onions and pepper jack cheese. My daughter added bacon, lettuce, grilled onions and provolone cheese. They both said it was a great burger. We enjoyed our food. Definitely will come back.

I have to ask for another bag to double it up. When I got home, both times, it has seeped through the second bag. Luckily I'm only taking it home so I can transfer it into a regular bowl. I put it in the bowl and I'm mostly eating salad soup. I understand I asked for Mikes way, but holy cow.

When we approached the front counter to order, the same employee walked behind the counter and put on gloves without washing his hands first. Seeing that, we immediately lost our appetite even though we had been excited to eat there. There were two female employees behind the counter. After deliberating, someone in our group asked one of the women if she was the manager. She replied, "Yes. Why, what's up?" We decided to leave at that point to avoid any confrontation. A sale was lost due to this behavior, and in this economy every penny counts. We will not be returning. I believe the owner should be made aware of what is happening in their establishment, especially regarding food safety practices.

It's been a few years since I have visited any Firehouse Subs, and this experience has my "Give 'em a Whirl meter" dialing 911 with a four alarm problem in the taste department. Disappointed.

The service was prompt and efficient. From ordering to receiving the food the wait time was less than 10 mins. The hot dogs were solid overall. Nice flavor on the hot dog itself. Bun was nicely steamed. Slaw was good. Onions were fresh. My only complaint is that they were light handed on the chili and heavy handed on the onions, slaw and mustard which didn't create the most balanced flavor profile--overly vinegary and creamy without the savoriness of the chili. Which really makes the hot dog for me. Still a solid lunch choice and for $6.30 it's an unbeatable value.

Instantly transported through time as it looks like a 50s diner. I believe we walked in around 2:30pm and they were closing at 3 pm but a lot of other customers were walking in as well trying to get a last minute sandwich. Now, you can tell the workers working in the kitchen and behind the counter were younger kids because they were not very communicative or explained the menu well. We would ask a question and they would just reply with "yes" , "no" or look at us like if we should already know. Either way we ordered two sausage dogs and their Carolina BBQ dog. VERY DELICIOUS! A perfect little pick me up on a Friday afternoon. Their sandwiches looked delicious as well and if im ever in the area, I will def return and try other things on their menu. The owner was very friendly though and made sure everything tasted great! Lots of side street parking in the area. Oh and side note, they only accept cash.
