| - I finally got around to checking this place out today. I'd heard alot of talk about it, but it's kind of out of my way. With lots of other sub options more convenient to me, I'd been telling myself, "It's a sub sandwich... HOW much better could it really be??" To my surprise, the answer is ALOT better!! Upon entering, the dining area is extremely spacious and clean. The staff greeted me promptly, asked if it was my first time visiting, and gave me a quick rundown of the menu and options. When he mentioned all subs come toasted by default, I wasn't too impressed... with images of a toasted Subway sandwich flashing to mind... I could take it or leave it, but, in Subway's case, generally leave it. Anyways, since is was Firehouse's default, I left it as toasted... and I'm so glad I did! I don't know what they do differently here, but it wasn't the same sad attempt at toasting I was accustomed to - it was done to perfection. I ordered the #4 Italian, and it came loaded with extremely flavorful meats. I ordered the default toppings, which is referred to as "Fully Involved" - it was the perfect mix of veggies to add texture and flavor, but not drown out the flavors of the meats. As for their default dressing that comes with it, it's superb and has a little kick with hints of horseradish or wasabi. I will definitely go a little out of my way to come here next time I'm craving a sub sandwich!
