When my appetite is burning for a delicious hero, Firehouse extinguishes the fire. Just this weekend alone when I was spending a lot of time in the Sunset Station area, I visited the local Firehouse.
This Firehouse is in the far end of the Mark's Street Walmart Supercenter Shopping Center. The upshot is that parking could be an annoyance. The parking lot is busy. On the other hand, inside Firehouse was busy on Friday night where it was dead on Sunday afternoon. Regardless, they make the sandwich from scratch and it takes a few minutes. If your the kind of person that gets fired up about waiting, the neat firehouse theme might put some water on the flame. Firehouse was started by real firemen. And that fact shows in the attention to detail from the wall to the trash can. There is even a donation jar for firemen. Besides, if you order a combo you can snack on the chips, brownie, or cookie. Firehouse features the Coke Freestyle machine.
At Firehouse you can get the combo medium or large. Regardless of size, the price is slightly large. For close to $10, they really should serve the large size. With that said, a half star deduction for a price that would be too high with a large upgrade. Similar to the price, the taste and amount is large. I ordered the meat ball sub on Friday and the Engineers Club on Sunday. The meatball sub smoked away the sub I recently chowed down in New York -New York and is a few steps up the ladder above Subway's meatball marinara. The texture, temperature, and quality was just right. Over and above the meatball sub, I appreciated the Engineer's Club. This is a delicious sub with the same wheat or white bread option that Firehouse offers. The Engineer's Club is loaded with turkey, swiss cheese, mushrooms with tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, and other ingredients.
When it comes to the sub industry, the fires always been burning. People love subs and the landscape is full of sub shops. Firehouse is one of the better sub chains. When I am chowing down an Engineer's Club, I can honestly say "My taste buds are on fire."
