Firehouse opened in this location, which is very near where I live, about a year ago. While I've not been avoiding it, exactly, I have a favorite sub shop in Jimmy John's, with Quiznos a close runner up, so just never felt the need to come here. That changed yesterday when I got so caught up staining the fence in my yard that I failed to notice lunch time had arrived. With my faves both a 20 minute drive away, I headed over to the closest choice.
I like the lively decor of this sub shop, with its bright red walls and chairs, and black and white dalmation themed table tops. The staff was prompt to greet and serve, and I ordered up a large turkey sub for Doug and The Engineer for myself, which features turkey, provolone and mushrooms, with the usual lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard and mayo (they ask if you want all of these things). They offer both white and whole wheat bread, and I went for the whole wheat. My sandwich was fine, not great, with a sub roll that was a little too soft for my taste and canned mushrooms, which would stop me from ordering this particular sandwich in the future. They do heat the subs, which I like, and they pack in the ingredients, so no complaint on that front. I still think Jimmy John's and Quiznos are better.
