I find it tough to review sub shops. Specially the larger chain sub shops. They definitely are not as good as your local sub shops. I even find Harris Teeter to have better subs then most of them. Therefore, compared to your other large chains...Penn station, Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns, Blimpie, Quiznos, and Subway, I find Firehouse somewhere in the middle. By no means is it bad, but it is also not anything special. They are definitely better then Blimpie and Subway, but below Penn station and Jersey Mikes. Jimmy John's is probably slightly better as well. I think Firehouse has good options and a really cool soda fountain. However, the sandwiches are forgettable. Maybe it is just me.
