| - I've eaten at Firehouse twice in the last month and so I'll write one review for both trips. On my first visit, I ordered the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket sub. I sat down at a nearby empty table and then I heard my name called.
I picked up my sandwich and drove back to work. I quickly proceeded to my desk and began the ritual. I opened the wrapper, took a look at the cheesy goodness before me, and took my first bite. The sub was still hot and it was tasty. I can't say that I loved the BBQ sauce. It was just okay. The beef brisket was tasty, but I found myself wishing I had more. Same went for the cheese...I wanted more. I could've sprung for the larger sized sub, but that would've been too much food for one sitting. Maybe if I pay the extra money for double meat? This sandwich did not delight me.
However, there are many other sandwiches on the menu. So on my second trip, I decided to go with the Italian. This time, I ordered in with some co-workers and I got the combo. As I was waiting for my sub, I picked up a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos (love!), and approached the interesting fountain drink dispenser. This is the first time I have encountered such a device. Apparently, there are over 120 soda combinations? Cool, I thought! So I proceeded to push the Hi-C button, at which time, about 10 new buttons appeared on the touch screen allowing me to select any combination of Hi-C flavors. I kept it simple and chose the Orange Cream flavor. I love Orange Cream anything!
I sat down and took a sip of the tasty beverage, just like Jules (Sam Jackson) in Pulp Fiction. He was like, "You mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down?" Only, I wasn't eating a Big Kahuna Burger. No sir. Instead, I was about to eat a tasty Italian sub from Firehouse!
The weird thing about this place is, once you place your order and give them your name, they ask you to go sit down. Then, when your sub is done being assembled, they walk around the dining room shouting your name until someone (you) perks up and says, "He is I and I am him!" And if you order with a group of friends, the subs arrive one at a time. So you are reduced to sitting and watching your friends eat (at least a couple bites anyway). Come on, we're guys...we don't wait for our guy friends to get their food before consuming mass quantities. It is what it is.
Anyway, the Italian sub was very good. It had tasty meat that was hot and it had melted cheese that was yummy, delicious even. This Italian sub was much more satisfying to me than the Brisket sub of days past. However, what this sub lacked was some peppers. Most of the Italian subs that I've had have included some form of sweet or spicy peppers. I'm sure I could've ordered them, but I assumed that they would be included in the baseline offering. Guess not.
The Hi-C orange cream soda was delicious. And while I usually don't drink pop, I drank a full monster-sized cup of it! It was really good and much smoother than regular orange pop, which can give me heartburn.
Lots of cops in here because it's next door to the Mayfield po-po station.
I am told that the New York Steamer sub is great and it should be the next on my list to consume. Maybe it will be! I'll be back!
