This is my favorite Firehouse sub location out of the other ones. I got the steak honey melt sub…read moreand omg it was very good. It was well prepared. The sub had a good generous amount of meat. I love how the cheese are all melted. The staff / service here was great. I was given the option if I wanted white or wheat bread. After ordering the staff immediately had it prepared for me. The restaurant was clean and the decor was quite nice. I like that they give you the many options of hot sauces to choose from with a scale of spiciness ranging from 1 to 10 being the hottest. I will definitely come back next time.

I did a make your own sandwich with some meats, veggies, and the pesto and spicy chili sauce and WOW. SO flavorful and so delicious. I am a big eater and the half focaccia was more than sufficient. The server who made my sandwich was so rad and friendly. He was quick to help and offer so many great suggestions. I forget his name but he had great customer service skills. Would recommend to make the visit and would love to come back.

Fresh focaccia with prosciutto, bocconcini, and pesto here is one of the best lunches in the city. Lineups move pretty fast and the staff working behind the counter know what they are doing. Always a top notch experience.

DECIDED on treating myself to a new sandwich that's been on my list to try, adventured out this way…read moreafter my dentist appointment and ooo it was such a fun experience watching my order being made. The staff here is so articulate and attentive, precise with the way things are assembled to how teamwork stays in alignment for something as simple as 2 diff customers ordering cannolis. I could really feel the good service and the staffs willingness to give a good first impression and make sure customers are happy. It was my first visit and first time trying something like this so the chat i had was much appreciated, the recommendations were great too. Everything tasted delicious and fresh, the sandwich was literally the size of my face. I tried the Bella Della Tella Panino and ooo the honey and pistachio combination was MOUTHWATERING. The shop is cute and tidy, they do close pretty early but that's ok i can work with that, parking was free just off at the corner. I'd definitely revisit.

It's a bit steep as a sandwich as the whole focaccia option costs about $28 but split between 2, it's a better price than ordering 2 different sandwiches.

great recommendation from a friend. the three of us stopped in for brunch after a moderate hike…read morenearby, which felt like a well deserved reward after working up an appetite. we arrived around 12:30 pm on a monday and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait. we were seated right away and had plenty of time to settle in, catch up, and enjoy the slower pace of the afternoon. i was told this place used to be a tiny little shop, and it's nice to see how much they've grown. they've taken over the space next door and expanded the seating area, which makes a huge difference. you can actually relax, enjoy your meal, and have a proper conversation without feeling like you need to rush out the door so the next group can sit down. that extra breathing room really changes the experience. i was also happy to see they offer a matcha lavender latte with oat milk, which immediately caught my attention. unfortunately, we arrived too late for their early bird special, and i'm still a little disappointed about missing it. twelve dollars for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a hashbrown patty and coffee or tea is hard to beat, and honestly, it gives me a good reason to wake up earlier next time. i decided on the vegetarian benny, and it absolutely hit the spot. two perfectly soft poached eggs, fresh avocado, oven roasted tomatoes, chimichurri, arugula, hollandaise, and cornbread, with three hashbrown patties on the side. every component worked together beautifully. the dish was seasoned really well, full of fresh flavours, and beautifully presented. the bright colours from the avocado, tomatoes, and greens made it look as good as it tasted. the chimichurri added a wonderful freshness, the hollandaise was rich without being overwhelming, and the cornbread brought a subtle sweetness that balanced everything nicely. it was so good that i practically inhaled the entire plate. definitely a place i'd come back to. next time, though, i'm setting an alarm and making sure i arrive early enough to finally try that early bird special.

Very small shop with limited seating. We tried the rigatoni (with meat sauce) and pappardelle (with…read moretruffle cream sauce.) The canned sparkling lemonade was also quite good. The portion size is decent and I left feeling full but not stuffed. The noodle texture also has a nice bite to it. For me I prefer creamy sauces so the pappardelle was my favorite!

Amazing Italian food in an unassuming hole in the wall…read more Came here for a quick dinner and we had the lasagna as well as a calabrese pizza. The lasagna was incredible - honestly I think the best lasagna I've ever had. And the pizza dough was so light and airy it took me by surprise. I wonder how they achieved this texture. Flavours were also on point. Service was friendly (walk up to the counter to order), and it's a casual hole in the wall with limited seating. It looks like they do a lot of takeaway and don't have alcoholic beverages at this location. Excited to come back to try more items on the menu, and also to try their larger location on Commercial!

Ambiance and Decor I visited this café and sandwich shop on…read morea Friday afternoon during the lunch rush. It's a small, homey place with simple décor. The lighting isn't the best, as the staff mostly rely on the large entrance window for natural light. Service Quality The staff was kind and friendly. They are more than happy to help you choose a sandwich if it's your first time. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Menu Variety Their sandwich selection is excellent, and the bread is particularly noteworthy. They also offer a couple of iced tea options, which is a nice alternative to water. Food Presentation If you're dining in, your sandwich will be served in a plastic basket lined with wax paper. For takeout, it's wrapped in the same wax paper. Food Taste and Quality I ordered the Spicy Italian, which had just the right amount of heat. It was generously loaded with greens, and the multigrain bread was fresh, likely baked that morning. Portion Sizes The portions are substantial. I was only able to finish half of my sandwich for lunch. Price and Value The sandwich cost about $15, which is on the pricier side. It would have been nice to see it priced around $12. Overall Experience and Recommendation If you're in the area or heading to Horseshoe Bay to catch a ferry, definitely stop by S'wich for a sandwich. I will definitely be returning to try other options on the menu.

They both had great meat-to-bread ratio. It gave what it promised, and it felt like a clean eat, which I appreciated. I'd stay away from the coffee though...

The crispy baguette loaded with lots of pickled veggies but I still missed the crackling pork bahnmi. I find that they put less hoisin sauce in the crackling pork bahnmi at this location.

This time we came on a weekday around 12:30 and it is packed as well. Definitely, budget more time if you are in a hurry

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy! But thankfully due to the staff's efficiency and…read morefast service, we didn't have to wait too long for our drink and banh mi order. We ordered the House Special Cold Cut ($9.25) and their seasonal special Matcha Fog ($7.95). The banh mi was delicious as always with a nice amount of filling and crunchy bread. I do think the bread was a bit on the crunchier/harder side this time though, but it was still tasty. The Matcha Fog was unique and the London fog paired well with the earthy matcha and neither flavours overpowered each other. It was a little on the sweeter side though, so would ask for half the syrup next time. Overall, would definitely return for their solid menu items!

Their sub is still very delicious. Service is also a bit lacking at this location. You have to flag down a staff for ordering. I am guessing this location do a lot of student business and doesn't care much for services. I got the steak and cheese melt and I do like the subs but again like mentioning before for $15 they could put more meat and cheese in the sub. I prefer the other locations.

If you want a very filling sub with…read moreingredients that are prepared fresh in front of you, this is the place in this neighbourhood. This is not a $u6way sandwich, let's say that up front. It's so much more than that. First impressions might be that the $14 ish range for a 6" sub is a tad pricey. We upped the anti, chose a full footer and shared, it was maybe $24? The Morty 3.0 did not disappoint. It honestly for us could be four meals. It was so good, the chips, salsa, queso, made in house and a drink, as a $5 add is gold. The staff are engaging, friendly and want you to enjoy your experience while dining there. We love the spartan, straight forward unapologetic ambiance of the place. Vennie's on Venables is a 6 out of 5 in our humble sandwich opinion.
