Staff refused to honour an advertised promotion because it was “online only” I then proceeded to show them that the firehouse app and the firehouse website online ordering were not functioning. They told me they were aware of the problem and several other customers had experienced this… but still refused to honour the promotion.

I've ordered both in person and online and have had consistent issues in getting my order correct on a "make your own" sub. I've asked for no cheese on subs with other sauces (like mayo and mustard) and will frequently get absolutely nothing on the sub or 10lbs of sauce. I've ordered online to pick up with the same issue - either no sauce no cheese, or cheese with a ton of sauce. If I ask for no pickle I get a pickle, If I ask for an extra pickle I get none. I think there is an issue with their ordering system for the "Make your own" sub category or modifications because it's wrong most of the time I've been to this location.

Delicious subs! The staff who took our order and served us (Hana?) did such a great job. Highly recommend!

Tried the Montreal meat sub. Overall the taste of the meat and toppings was great. Giving it a 3 star because the bread was mushy . If it were toasted would of been a 5. For a $20 sub everything ought to be perfect.

This was my first time having Firehouse Subs. I placed an order for catering for my work. Service was amazing. Super friendly, and quick. When I came in to pick up, my order was ready and packed up on time, even a little early too ;) They even drew some Easter pictures on the boxes. :) Made my day! Thank you so much for the great food. All my associates were so thankful and loved the food. We will definitely order again.

Stopped in for a quick bite and was very impressed with this location. Great food; but what really sets it apart was the customer service. Kaitlyn was amazing and is a great asset to firehouse! My 8 yr old loved his meatball sub w/ extra pickles!

Wow, last night my wife and I had the best subs that weve ever eaten from any Firehouse location. We like many of these subs cold but there is no option to order them cold online or in the app. Simple solution - place the order then immediately call the store and ask them to not heat. Works like a charm. Ordered the new French Dip with double meat (hot) and the Hero (cold). We can normally eat two large subs but these two were really Fully Involved - couldnt finish both but had a nice snack later. Excellent very friendly service, both on the phone and when I picked up the order. Great Job Ancaster crew! Well be back often.

Poor management, called numerous times throughout an hour to place a pick up order, no answer, decided to show up after the last call (all spaced out) and everyone was just standing In a circle socializing while I stood waiting to place an order

Food is always sooooo good! We drive from brantford just to come and get subs and chilli!! Love it here. Staff is friendly, service is to be expected for a place that isn t necessarily a fast food restaurant. Overall great experiences!

I ordered a hook and ladder today and when I got home the bottom bun was just saturated. I asked not to have sub sauce put on so what made it so wet? I have had many hook and ladders and they have always been excellent. I did watch them try and drain the meat when it came out of the warmer but apparently they didn t do a very good job. So terrible I just threw it out. What a waste of time and money. You can do better Ancaster Firehouse Subs. If I could give you no stars I would.

Got the wrong sub but I did start off my order wrong so Ill give them that. The sub I got had very fatty meat half of which I spat out. Not a napkin to be seen even though it was takeout and an extremely messy sub. I never thought I would say this but I preferred subway unfortunately and I was really excited to try this. Also a lady just before me in line got a card for a free sub because her sandwich took longer than their standard but mine took the same amount of time since I was right after her... Was weird to offer one customer a free meal but not the others waiting the same length of time? And it wasnt a long wait at all to begin with. I might go again just to see how the sub I actually wanted is but not a great start.

Food was good. Ordered online for pickup at a specific time. Their system isnt working apparently. When I asked if my order was ready, they did not have a copy of it. I used their online system so they could avoid the fees associated with UBER. Disappointing that there was no good will gesture for the 10 minute delay. May not seem like a big deal to them but was in a bit of a time crunch. There was even some one (manager?, owner?) sitting at a table on a laptop and when was made aware of the issue didnt address me or apologize. Certainly not in a hurry to go back. Note - tried to leave this feedback online but the location is not added in the Firehouse database yet

When walking in the door, you are greeted by everyone. The food is absolutely amazing, it puts other sub shops in the dust. I love that you can round up to the next dollar and it goes to help fallen firefighters and their families. Food

ordered two steak and cheese subs with ranch dressing. Got NO CHEESE and no dressing. At least at Subway you can watch them put the toppings on, so we are going to stick with them.

Purchased our subs online for a certain time to pick up. I showed up about 10 minutes after the posted time we indicated we should arrive. When I arrived the subs weren t stated and I had to wait . The subs were decent sized but I don t think the value is there for what you spend. The subs were a mess to eat, the bread fell apart for the most part. I would go elsewhere for a sun in my opinion for value and quality

Got subs tonight. No pickle on the side for all three subs. Every other firehouse location gives pickles. They asked if we wanted the bun toasted and we said yes. Got home and they weren t toasted. Won t go back to this location again.

Ordered, there was no lettuce on my sub and very tiny bit of ranch. Very slow waiting time. Not overly impressed for the price.

Great subs, but terrible prep times. Multiple times have placed an Uber Eats order, been given a 45 mins pick up (which already is quite long), and then still had to wait +15 mins after I got to the store.

I cant believe that I havent yet taken a photo of a Firehouse Sub. I think thats because as soon as I get it and open the package my mouth turns into Niagara Falls. One hand quickly reaches for a napkin to deal with the drool and the other hand reaches for the sub. Before you know it, its gone. While they have an extensive menu, Ive only ever ordered the same thing, the smoked brisket & cheddar. It is without a doubt the best sub Ive ever eaten. I keep saying that Ill try one of their other sandwiches, but why mess with perfection?

On several food delivery websites and through their own online ordering system, it indicates that a tuna sub is available. However. this is not the case. I would strongly implore the ownership to handle this issues as its a huge inconvenience!

The food is good but pricey. The brisket sub is my favourite. Unfortunately now twice I ve asked for additional veggies (banana peppers and sautéed onions) to be added and when I get home to eat they aren t on the sandwich.

The subs are extremely bad especially for how overpriced they are. Very bland tasting ingredients and soggy bread. For the price subway is better (and subway also tastes and is bad). Dont waste your time and money eating what they call food.
