This was our first experience at this small town treasure. We have heard about it from locals and…read morethe radio advertisements since moving to Cenla in 2021. When we walked in we were welcomed with a big smile and a hello. There was a few other patrons and it was very much giving a lunchroom feel. We didn't know what to order so went with the daily special which was a buy one get one shrimp plate. This included picture shows it haft gone (I sadly forgot to take a picture before diving in) but it comes with 6 jumbo shrimp on a bed of thick cut fries that were generously seasoned, two (unpictured) hush puppies and sauce of your choice. We close to go with the suggested "boom boom sauce" and it did not disappoint. So you order from a counter when you walk in, someone brings out your food in a styrofoam Togo container on a tray. You serve yourself whatever drink you want. There are bottled options as well as fountain drinks and teas. Overall it's definitely a win and easy to see why they have been serving Alexandria for 28 years. If you are looking for a place with a small town feel and big flavor check it out. You won't regret it.

Having not posted a good review previously the many times I've enjoyed the food here, I'm very hesitant to post that today my po-boy was not that good. The catfish was very surprisingly thin, and the shrimp was tough and overcooked. That notwithstanding, Po-boy Express has always been my favorite go-to for a good po boy, and I will return in the future.

Firehouse Subs North Alexandria 700 MacArthur Dr Suite A…read moreAlexandria, LA 71303 Today, Tuesday 5/28/24, on my way back to Lake Charles returning from a work trip in Alexandra, my coworker suggested that we stop for lunch at Firehouse Subs. He stated how GOOD the subs were, so I agreed to give this place a try. Since this was my first-time dining at this franchise restaurant, I didn't know what to expect and kept an open mind as I am always willing to try something different and give a business a shot at earning my future business. As I walked into the restaurant, I was quite impressed with the cleanliness and the décor of the dining room. The walls are decorated with items that firemen wears or things that you would find in a firehouse. There's also two TV hanging on the walls for your enjoyment while you wait on your order to be prepared. There's also a lot of covered outdoor seating for the guests who enjoy the fresh outdoors. As we approached, the counter to place our order, we were immediately greeted by a young man who patiently answered all of questions about the menu since this was my first time here and I wasn't quite sure what type of sub I wanted. The wait time after ordering was about 7 minutes which is awesome considering it was lunch time. I ordered the medium (7" - 8") Club on a Sub sandwich on white bread with smoked turkey breast, honey ham, crispy bacon, and melted Monterey Jack cheese, served with lettuce, tomatoes, sliced spicy pickles, onions, mayo, and deli mustard with a dill pickle spear served on the side. This was one of the best sub sandwiches I have ever eaten. The bread was fresh and soft. The sub sandwich was made to order, served hot, had a lot mean (ham and turkey breast), perfectly topped with fresh vegetables, finished with just the right amount of mayo and mustard, and evenly cut into two pieces for the ease of handing and enjoying. I will dine at this location again if I'm ever in the Alexandra area again and I will give other Firehouse Subs a try, thanks to the positive dining experience I had at this location.

The food was great. The employees seemed to be waiting for the rush. The biggest problem I had at…read morethis location was tripping on a piece of concrete embedded wood in the parking lot. I asked for a manager to inform them so that someone doesn't actually get hurt, but the employees stated they would let the manager know and they are not allowed to give out the manager's phone number. They did not seem to be in a hurry to call their manager, but after insisting, they came and looked at the hazard and agreed it was an issue. I've attached photos of the hazard. I fell down around 10:35 AM and caught myself, but at 7:15 PM am still experiencing hand, shoulder, back, and toe pain. Whoever is the owner of this parking lot needs to be informed and aware that this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. If you trip on this hazard, please be aware that the restaurant IS AWARE of the danger as of 10:45 AM, refused to let me speak with someone in charge, and that it has already caused minor injuries to myself, a pregnant woman.

I tried the deluxe version on this visit, but find the proportions in the original much better. My wife had a bacon grilled cheese sandwich which comes on a pretzel roll with four kinds of cheese, and avocado, accompanied by a tomato-basil dipping sauce. This is a really excellent sandwich. My wife enjoyed this one so much she attempted to duplicate it the next day for her lunch. Yeah, Schlotzsky's has some good specialty sandwiches. Chips are a bad value, i.e., too few and too expensive. I do not think you can find a smaller bag. I believe the bags are less than an ounce. I vote with my feet on this one and never get chips. Come on Schlotzsky's, triple the size or include it gratis with the sandwich. This is a gyp.

This is really disappointing because we love the food at Schlotzky's & this is the only location left in Louisiana. We just stopped here during July 4, 2026 weekend. The entire glass front door was cracked & looked like it would shatter if you touched it, but it was not covered for safety. They didn't have ANY tea made & the water out of the coke machine tasted horrible (in Shreveport, we have F grade water, but this was somehow infinitely worse), so I didn't even get a drink that we paid for. Both bathrooms are extremely dirty. My husband said there are never any paper towels in the men's room & the air dryer is rusted & too gross to use. And the water sprays out like crazy when you barely turn it on. He said it also stinks. The ladies room is also gross & the sink looks like it hasn't been cleaned in many years. The toilet seat doesn't fit on the toilet & slides around everywhere when you're not moving. The water barely comes out of the faucet, making it hard to wash your hands. (For at least a few years, the bathroom door locks didn't even work, but I guess they finally fixed that, at least.) We sat at the one table we could find that wasn't dirty. My husband also noticed some of the floor tiles are coming loose. My husband said his Original sandwich wasn't hot all the way through & his chips were stale. And they gave me the wrong dipping sauce with my calzone. We were weirded out by how dirty the restrooms & restaurant were, making us really concerned about how clean the kitchen & food could be when everything else is so dirty. So due to all of this, we will not be returning.
