First time trying this place out - I'm a fan of sandwiches and regularly eat at Subway or Jersey…read moreMike's in the USA so had a certain basis to compare it to. Firehouse is really a step above! I love the theme of the place, the easy menu ordering options and variety. There's plenty of parking, tables for seating and love how the staff greets you as you walk in. Firehouse has sandwiche names you can order straight off the menu so this takes any guess work in terms of figuring out how you want to customize it, however you can also build your own with any ingredients available. I tried the meatball sub and the classic italian on white bread. We opted for the large size and it was plenty if you are very hungry. Everything tasted super fresh and just perfect - honestly the most impressive thing for me was the bread. It it moist and light, definitely better than Subway or any other chain I've tried before. This location has a cool Coke Freestyle soda machine so you can choose from huge selection of drink options, many of them zero sugar as well. Very fun! I will definitely be back and praying we get this in Quebec one day!

Ten out of ten would recommend!…read more We went and even met Markie himself, who is such a sweet guy! The sandwiches were perfect; they weren't too heavy and they were packed with flavour. The poutine was perfect, too. So cool to see Pinoy entrepreneurs making it in Ottawa!

I love a good sandwich and this place does not disappoint…read more The hubby and I had lunch here the other day (takeout). I got the PhD on their homemade bun. It's the only vegetarian sandwich on the menu. It's topped with avocado, tomato, gouda, roasted red pepper, lettuce and maple balsamic mayo. It was good, but I wish there was one more veg sandwich option. The bun was also just alright. Next time I will try getting it in a wrap. The hubs tried a more adventurous sandwich. Him being a meat eater, he got the "Sean Evans" which was topped with fried chicken in hot sauce, chips, caramelized onions, dill mayo, and chili pepper cream cheese. I must say, I was kinda jealous. We also split a slaw. It was good, but nothing to write home about. They are also known for their cookie dough, which I will have to try next time. The sandwiches were good, but again, I wish there were more veg options (besides salads).

I went to Lunchbox recently and got one of their "lunchboxes" for dinner, lol. I thought it was…read moreok, but a little pricey for what it was. I think it might have been what I ordered. I will go back for a sandwich instead next time. So I had the "Schrute" Salad $8.65, and I added grilled chicken to it for an additional $2.50. I made it a "lunchbox" for an additional $3.25, which gave me a snack, cookie dough and a can of pop. So my whole meal was $16.25. The "Schrute" Salad was baby arugula, pickled beets, raisins, candied pecans and goat cheese. The added chicken was sliced real chicken breast. I got a balsamic dressing on the side. The ingredients were fresh and the portion of chicken was good. I just felt that this was a salad I could have put together myself in my kitchen very easily. When I eat out, I like to have something that I can't make myself easily. The salad was good, but I didn't feel that it was anything special. I chose the Creamy Dill Potato Salad. I usually don't like potato salad, but given all the reviews raved about it, I tried it. I have to say, I did like it very much. I loved that it had bacon in it. Everything tastes better with bacon! There was also cheese. It was creamy, but not overly so and tasted garlicky and dilly, haha. The portion looks huge in my picture, but it is not that large. The container is a larger Solo container, so it's a little bit bigger than the container that my salad dressing was in. For my cookie dough, I chose the "Sharon, Lois and Graham" which was cookie dough with lime cream cheese, shredded coconut and graham cracker crumbs. It was pretty good. It tasted like raw cookie dough and key lime pie. The cookie dough comes in a standard Solo container (you know, the size container that you get soy sauce in when you get sushi takeout - well, when they don't give you packets of soy sauce that is. It's the same size container that my salad dressing came in). I really love the whole "school theme" of the place. The menu is called the "Course Syllabus." Menu items have names like "Substitute Teacher," "Class Clown" and "P.A. Day." On their webpage you can click on "Report Card" and provide feedback. I think this is all very fun and creative. Lunchbox is where Bun Republic used to be. It's a really small space. There are a few tables to sit at and eat, but it's mostly a takeout place. The place is super cute. There's free parking in the back. I feel this place is really cool. I was just not really wowed by my salad. I will try a sandwich next time (which seems to be the more popular choice anyway) and write an update then.

I hit up Roberto's Corner probably four times a week, and it's honestly because their sandwiches…read moreare gas every single time. The portions are huge, the bread is always fresh, and they stack the toppings like they actually care about feeding you. The staff is chill, quick, and they always get the order right. No matter what I grab -- cold cut, chicken, whatever -- it always slaps. You can't beat the value and consistency. If you want a legit fire sandwich with real portions and zero disappointment, this is absolutely the spot. Five stars, easy.

The wife and I were browsing Uber Eats and came across this place…read more Let me describe this hidden little gem in one word. Delicious I got the Italian hero sandwich and the wife got the turkey pesto and we shared a regular fry and a dip. Both sandwiches were amazing. Great portion size and deeply flavourful. Like I mentioned we got the regular fry and the bag was basically overflowing with fries. The first were chunky fresh cut and seasoned perfectly. Like a lot of the reviews have stated this place is more of a to go location and to be honest that's more than okay. The owners definitely know the meaning of value for money. And I will for sure be coming back. This restaurant is a must try. Enjoy!

Service is friendly, quick and food is good more of a take out place, little hidden gem.read more

Everybody knows them for smoked meat. But, what about steak and eggs? I wasn't expecting what I…read moregot, which was AWESOME. When the server asks me how everything is tasting, I typically reply with "good", or "great", or if my mouth is full and I'm in mid-chew, a smile/nod, or a thumbs up. On this particular occasion, I said "excellent" and asked how the steak was seasoned. She went to find out for me. Home made garlic butter, and a dusting of parsely. YUM. Eggs were cooked properly and nicely seasoned as well. I didn't eat the home fries for 2 reasons. 1) they were not fresh potatoes cooked on the flat top. 2) 3 eggs, steak, rye toast, and 2 cups of coffee had me bursting at the seems! On top of the fast and friendly service, the price for this meal was VERY reasonable.
