Firehouse Subs

[hornadylnl]

Lafayette got a new Firehouse Subs. I've read about them here on INGO but have never had one. I stopped by after work and got an Italian combo. For a 12" combo, it was over $10 with tax. I'd give the Italian sub a 3.5 out of 5. It was a good sandwich but if I didn't know any better, I would have thought I ordered a ham sandwich. The honey ham overpowered everything else on the sandwich.

The only sub I ever order from Penn Station or Jimmy Johns is the Italian and they had much more bite to them than this one did. Firehouse's menu had some other sandwiches that looked pretty good so I'll try something different the next time I go in.

My opinion is that they're good when I'm in the mood for something different but they don't top my list when I want a sandwich.

Disappointed in the one in Beech Grove

I've always wanted to try Firehouse subs but I am a pretty big fan of Jimmy Johns. I love their Beach Club (no mayo).

I got a coupon for a free one when the one in Noblesville opened. I used it and haven't been back. It wasn't bad, just wasn't anything that would make me pick them instead of Jimmy John's.

Meh... It's ok but nothing great. They steam their meat for a different favor I guess

That's what I get there! Add bacon!

Penn Station or Quizno's for me.

Subway, I avoid it like the plague, no meat all veggies.

i have been there once (one in noblesville) and refuse to go back untill they lower their prices

I'll have to check them out. I'm a JJ fan personally. Stay away from jersey mikes unless you like imitation blimpies...gross.

I hate scrubway. How many different ways can you make a bologna sandwich?

A lot, I think even the meatball subs are nothing more than ground up bologna.

I refer to subway as salad on a bun.

We've been to the Firehouse in Noblesville a few times. Have to agree about the Italian, not a lot of flavour, (especially compared to a Penn Station Italian). The pastrami is pretty good, but it gets lost in the toppings. My favourite thing about Firehouse is that they have Coke Freestyle machines. I really like these machines. Over 125 flavours and many of them are flavours you can't buy in any other market. Fanta Peach, Sprite Grape, Coke Orange. These are great machines and often worthwhile to get a mediocre sandwich for a quick bite. We never get over a 8" there, anyway, so we don't spend a fortune. My kids do like their meatball subs, tho.

Discovered Firehouse a couple of months ago. Very impressed with the sandwiches both times we've been!! Good flavor and they weren't chintzy on the meat either. I don't know maybe it's the location? Quiznos is great but they seem to be turning into some type of mexican/sub hybrid lately, also like Penn Station but they are off and on for quality and quantity, only been to JJ once and don't remember anything about it.

Completely unsolicited, I'll give a plug for Potbelly sandwiches. There's one in Lafayette (I think) and one in downtown Indy on the circle. It's a good sandwich.

i've been to the firehouse subs in avon and plainfield. Absolutely great I think. A lot better than subway. Not sure about the others but the owners of the ones in plainfield and avon are opening one in brownsburg. Very happy with the ones they have.

I used to frequent Firehouse Subs when I lived in Florida... the great thing about it is the selection of hot sauce they have on the counter. I assume they are all like that but I haven't been to one in a while.

I'll have to check out the local ones soon. I'm glad they finally made it up here though

 

[hornadylnl]

Without a doubt, this firehouse sub is 10 times better than anything subway has to offer. Ill try some of their other sandwiches in the future. If they only rate a 3 or so, I'll stick with Penn Station or JJ's.

I stopped in and got a New York Steamer for lunch today. It was a pretty good sandwich. Just the regular 8" sub combo was over $8. It was a good experience other than the chick behind the counter with her ass crack hanging out and using her gloved hands to pull her pants back up.
