Firehouse-Subs-Meatball-Inside.jpg
 
I really like FireHouse's meatball & cheese sub, their Italian is okay too . . only 2 I've ever really enjoyed from there.
 
I don't remember what I've had from there but it has always been good. I've probably only been there two or three times though.
 
It's a bit steep compared to the cost elsewhere, but there is no meatball sub out there I would take over Firehouse. It's hands-down the best.
 
Turkey bacon ranch is a strong, strong sandwich. It's my second favorite behind the Hook & Ladder
Oh and I also picked up a $2 pickle bucket while I was there. Why? 2 reasons. one, I needed another 5 gallon bucket for yard stuff and second (and more importantly) it makes for a nice air freshener in my vehicle, windows up, 88 degrees all afternoon. mmmmmmm dill pickles!

Firehouse's meatball is tough to beat. I'm a Hook & Ladder fan as well, but the their meatball sub always lures me in.

I will say though, and I'm fully aware Subway sucks, but their meatball sub has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. I should hate it, but I don't. I get a special craving for it sometimes. It's like, everyone knows McDonald's cheeseburgers are some of the worst quality, but sometimes you just need to have one. This is pretty much the same thing.

If you want a Subway sandwich that doesn't suck and doesn't taste like generic Subway like all the rest of their sammiches, order as follow:

- buffalo chicken
- shredded mozzarella
- lettuce, green (or banana) peppers
- ranch
- salt, vinegar (oil and vinegar if desired)
 
Firehouse is legit. There's one two minutes from my house and I tear it up. My go to is the turkey bacon ranch. Knuckle biting good. Surprisingly, as much as I've eaten there, I've never tried the meatball. That'll happen soon now. Good looking out.
 
Turkey bacon ranch is decent, but I'm more of a hot sandwich type of person. The TBR would absolutely need tomato added though.
 
Got it. Since I could literally treat tomato sauce as a beverage, it's extremely rare that I go into a sandwich shop that offers a meatball sub and order anything but that.
I'm all about their meatball, but you gotta branch out and try something else there at least once. They steam all of their subs, and I've never had anything there I didn't like. Outstanding.
 
Found out this week that the Firehouse Subs closest to my office is gone, replaced by another restaurant. Of course I only discovered this after getting excited about eating there and making the 20 minute drive. I can't begin to express the sadness this event caused in my life.
