i'd give this place a 3.5 star review for our first visit.
i'm not a fan of too many sub sandwich places, so my hopes were not very high. every time someone tells me to check out "this place" or "that place' because they think it's great, i leave a little disappointed in the food and in the person who recommended it.
thankfully, i thought Firehouse Subs was pretty good.
i tried 2 sandwiches - the New York Steamer (terrible name) and the Capt. Sorensen's Datil Pepper Grilled Chicken. both were very tasty. the Steamer had maybe too many sauces for my liking (mustard, Italian dressing and mayo) and the pastrami was a little lost in the mix. it was still pretty good though. the Datil Pepper Grilled Chicken was better but impossible to eat as the sandwich just fell apart due to the shredded lettuce (which should be abolished). the flavor of the pepper sauce was very nice and i was tempted to go up front to get more at the condiment bar.
The prices were a little high but whatever.
I can see going back again sometime. it was better than Subway, Penn Station and maybe even Quiznos.
