Firehouse Subs

This place is super underrated We went there because of @Lukefoods review and I tried the pepperoni meatball sub and got the cheddar brisket barbecue for my wife we both absolutely loved our sandwiches and will be coming back again definitely recommended.

This place is deadly. It is so good and always fresh. They are unique in the way they make their sandwiches. They have weird ( but good) combo mixes with thier only style. Dep come hungry, because they are decent size.

Firehouse subs have some tasty sandwiches. The fire fighters who work at the store are always nice and sometimes let you look at their fire truck if you give them a tip! Would recommend.

The best meatball sub I have ever had!!! I use to like Subways meatball subs but I had to order extra meatballs to fill all of the bread. Firehouses sub almost has too much meatballs. If that is a bad thing. I will be definitely coming here at least once a week!!!

My 5-STAR RECOMMENDATION/REVIEW: overall, firehouse subs offers very Good sandwiches. A good variety of condiments and dressings as well as veggies. I would recommend eating here if you haven’t already done so. It is conveniently located near the Target and Blaze Pizza.

Always great service and food!

Firehouse subs is by far my favorite. The Orange location is great. Their beef and cheddar brisket is the best. The barbecue sauce is just right and not over done. And when it mixes with the mayo...OMG! Just make sure you ask them to not go too lightly.

Didn't know there was a location in the south side. I was introduced to this place up north. Sandwiches are the best here. I like it better than subway. I'm glad there's a location at least 30 mins away from where I live.

A bit slow but we order hot subs so maybe that's why. Cajun chicken is definitely recommend! Juicy, flavorful, just a mouthful of goodness Steak and cheese is decent. Plenty of sauces to add on. Definitely an upgrade from subway lol

Literally took my roommates out for some dinner since my mom gave me a gift card and I had never been before. I ordered the smokehouse beef and cheddar brisket and I have to say it was really damn good. From the fluffy bread to the super delicious smoked meat this was a winner. Even the pickle was extra delicious and I didn't need to add anything to the sandwich it was basically perfect as is. 🥪🍗🔥👅

There's subs are really really good. This was a New York steamer AKA pastrami sandwich. Felt it could have had a little bit more meat on it but otherwise it was really good tasting. I had it delivered through doordash which was really good, except that they ran out of the macaroni and cheese so I wasn't able to try it for the first time and I found out it is out of stock I guess with their supplier in right now definitely suggest if you want a good sub go here then steam the meat before goes on to the bun which makes it really good and the meat is shaved thin

Love this place. I almost always get the Italian. Delicious sweet ham and creamy mayo mixed with Italian sauce... love it.

So this is my clear favorite sandwich shop, even when compared to Board & Brew. Blows Jersey Mike's out of the water. Occasionally they won't even charge for extra cheese and I always tip on those events even if it costs more than if they did charge. The club on a Sub is my go to and a large is easily two meals for me. Its right next to Blaze Pizza which is the other place I eat out the most at, so when I run out of food they are the go to as I can order a pizza, walk over and get my sub, and come back right as the pizza is ready. Staff is overly friendly and the franchise owner should be proud of the team they put together!

Easy to order on phone app. Quick completion of order

Their New York Steamer sub is very good. The beef brisket and pastrami are always on point and the melted cheese on top is just amazing. Almost always my go to sandwich when I come here. I also highly recommend their Sweet and Spicy Meatball sub and their Beef and Cheddar brisket one as well, those are good too. 👍

Food is always made to order and delicious

Food is delicious and fresh It is made to order Staff is friendly and professional

Love the Firehouse Subs on Tustin at Meats in Orange. Good service and good quality food. Also love the soda dispensing machine!

Well-managed store. Clean and great amount of seating. Sides (especially fries) are well-priced. I’ve had it a few times, really like the limited release Thanksgiving sub. Free Wifi.

Firehouse is a little pricier than other sandwich spots but very good sandwiches and service

Always great sandwiches great when ordering on line always ready as requested 👍

First time here, ordered a large meatball and a large Italian sandwich. Both were so frigging huge and delicious 😋 Nooo I didn't eat both, in fact I could only eat half of the Italian sandwich it was so filling ( good value for the money) but did take a bite of the meatball sandwich very very good. 😋 I will for sure go back to Firehouse Subs, they have a bunch of great menu items to choose from and the staff is very friendly and a very clean restaurant environment. 😀

Awesome service and delicious subs!

Went right before closing but that didn’t affect the quality of the sandwiches or customer service at all. Got the Engineer and Smokehouse Brisket and both were hot, fresh, and delicious. Will definitely come back when craving a sub.

Good, quick lunch. Big portions. Great chips for the combo. They donate to local firehouses so there's a positive side to the slightly higher prices. Worth it though.

Best sandwich chain! All their sandwiches are amazing but I love their meatball and club the best. Very hearty sandwiches and worth the price. A little more than your average sandwich place but way tastier and better meats.

It's a sub shop. A good one, but still just a sub shop. Consistently good quality, friendly staff, and an okay value. Been going for years and better in my opinion than anything else nearby!

Sandwiches are always great. It can be slightly expensive but you get a lot for the price. It also takes a bit for your sandwich to be made, especially if they're busy, but it's worth the wait. Last time I was here, I tried the loaded baked potato soup and it was horrible. I don't know if the chili is any better but luckily I come here for the sandwiches not the soup, so no big deal for me. Staff is always really friendly as well.

1st time here. Good sandwiches, good selection. The drink machine was not working however, and we waited for the ice to be filled up so we could get cold water and ice tea. Staff wasn't concerned about it much. I would however return for another sandwich

Meatball sandwich was tasty. But a bit too pricy when it doesn't include chips and a soda. Or at least a soup. I paid $10.15 just for the sandwich.

I wouldn't come again, not because of rude service or anything like that. The employees are very kind. It is just the subs that are not that filling. I got a large spicy chicken sub. Wasn't much in it. I guess I'd rather have tummy stuffer or Subway because it is 100% customizable and you see your sandwich/sub.

The sandwiches are bland and overpriced. I payed 8-9 dollars for a 3 inch sandwich.

Stopped for lunch yesterday and found out to be meh. The layout is awful, with the register at the back and nothing to do... Anyone that has been to Subway, Togos or any other sandwich shop would expect to order and have it made. Then pay at the end. The Coke freestyle dispenser I could see being backed up during a busy lunch as people want to mix custom combinations. I had the turkey cranberry and it was decent, but I could not find the cheese in it, my wife said it is in the light menu so they probably didn't put much on. My wife was not impressed with her sandwich either. I can not see myself coming back again.

Maybe we were there at a bad time but this was very underwhelming. Very slow even though there were plenty of people behind the counter. The one sub we ordered was wrong. The potato soup was watery. The salad was expensive and pretty bad. We hadn’t been there before but we won’t be going back. And the drinks - they were unavailable because the tanks were empty.

When you see a CHILD any CHILD All children should be offered a paper firehat isn't that the point . Give to ALL CHILDREN no matter the color. You never know it could be a child first time at firehouse subs . Do better

I ordered three subs. I asked for the jalapenos on the pastrami sandwich. Requested for all the way. Got meat, mayo, mustard. I repeated asked for jalapenos. No pride? No give a hitS? Wow.. 02SEP20 13:20

Came here at 825 pm July 21 2025 they messed up my order I got the meatball sub pepperoni they forgot to add my onion and green bell pepper I came back and they remade it but my other sub that I order got cold you guys could at least let me keep the sub that you guys messed up on…..

Last time I go to that location because I found a pretty long hair.. Disgusted.. Could not finish thereafter. Shame...

My son had food poisoning yesterday (6/19/21) from eating the New York steamer. Unfortunately, so did his WaterPolo teammates. We've always been supportive for Firehouse Subs, but I think we will reconsider when eating between tournament games. I'll just note we have been in the food service industry a very long time with high emphasis in food safety, our kids have a couple food allergies, and we don't eat out unless necessary. It was without a doubt this place that had my son doubled up in pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for 24hrs. Onset symptoms of nausea within 1hr of consumption. Stomach cramps, diarrhea started 2hrs after consumption. Then all symptoms violently increased at 3hrs including vomiting, fever, and dehydration lasting til the next day. I'm sure it was Staph food poisoning.

Food is great but it’s getting too expensive. On top, I expect a better customer service for such premium priced sandwhich. I visited today 3/16 and since I left no tip, attendants were not friendly at all. Making me wonder, is it really worth tipping when you don’t get a decent service yet pay premium for a sub?
