| - Such a cool spot! I know it's a chain restaurant, but a difficult work week after the long holiday weekend meant I was anxious to try a new sandwich after work this evening.
[insert fire engine siren sound effect here] * weeeeee-oooooo weeeeee-ooooooooooooooooooo* That was me making the sound effect with my mouth.
This location is in a super-duper convenient location right off the 101 & 67th. Depending upon what way you're coming down the 101, you hang a right (or left) on 67th, take your next left into the parking lot and voila! Your destination will be straight ahead of you. As I mentioned, super convenient, tons of ample, wide-space parking stalls and plenty of places to park out in the boon docks if you loathe door-dings like I do.
First impression... the employees seem to genuinely care about this place and the work they do. It's not often I can say that (or have ever said that about an employee at a restaurant chain) but it's obvious at Fire House Subs. The restaurant is quaint, but insanely clean. There was not even so much as a crumb on any of the empty tables. My sneakers didn't stick to the floor next to the soda fountain machine and napkin holders were at each individual table. SCORE! I spent a minute or two browsing the menu when I spotted "Ruben! Limited time only!" So I read the description more closely... blah blah blah loads of cheese.... blah blah hot fresh meat... blah blah crispy cole slaw... pickle spear. SOLD! I will take your new limited edition Ruben, please. The sandwiches come in small (4"), medium (8") or gluttonous (12") I opted for the medium because portion control is important. The sandwich was $7 and some change and I opted for a medium drink, as well. I was out the door for $9 and some odd cents which seemed like a fair deal to me. Not as inexpensive as Subway, but not nearly as good either. Enough of those shenanigans, let's chat about this sandwich, shall we?
I opted for the Ruben Re-Invented by Fire House Subs on wheat bread. Their version of this re-invented deli classic is piled with fresh USDA Choice pastrami coupled with a hefty serving of Swiss cheese. On top of the pastrami is their tangy cole slaw in Thousand Island dressing. It sounds like a weird combination. It isn't. Trust me. The crispiness and freshness of the slaw coupled with the hot pastrami and melted Swiss made my taste buds insanely happy. I was going to do the happy dance at my table by my lonesome, but that would have made me look weirder than I'm afraid I already am. So I sat down and opted to forego the happy dance. I don't care for mayonnaise so I passed on that. My sandwich was delicious. And the bread? ....so fresh! No joke. In addition to the sandwich, there is a delicious kosher dill pickle spear which was crunchy and as awesome as the sandwich. But Scott, it's just a pickle! ...don't judge me. Please. I'm allowed to like what I like and it was a darn good pickle! The soda out of the soda fountain was ice cold, bubbly and well caffeinated just like I like it. The service was awesome. The restaurant and restrooms were beyond clean and it was the perfect way to end my Thursday after a challenging day at the salt mines! Kudos to all of you!
