First time and subs are AMAZING!! Check them out!

September 30, 2024

My friend ordered 3 footlong brisket subs and a kids meal about an hour ago and all were exactly as ordered, except mine. They were ordered all the same but all mine had was the meat and a tiny bit of sauce so it was dry. I have put off trying your subs because I found them a little on the pricey side, but I decided to do it anyway. My mistake. Will definitely not be back, what a shame.

September 24, 2024

Went into your location tonight in hopes to get the new thanksgiving sub was told they didnt have any stuffing out. I asked them if they could get some out just after 8 was told nope! I said so your willing to lose out on a order was told yes we are. I though this was very poor service.

July 23, 2024

Placed online order for gluten free. Arrived at store and was told they did not have any GF buns and could not give refund. We are out for 2 GF subs $30+. Corp can't help as it's up to local store. Local store manager is unreachable, never returns calls and staff can't reach the either.

Sandwich had cold meat, needed to be cooked longer, ended up throwing away. Disappointed as we always have this sandwich in other locations and it was never like this.

Food is always excellent. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The only downside is the price which in my opinion is a bit high.

Fast and friendly service. The sub was super fresh & tasty. It may seem a little expensive but doesn’t leave you feeling like garbage afterwards - you’re paying for quality. Build your own turkey 👌🏼👌🏼

I dont go very often because of the price, but every so often I treat myself because every time the food was awesome...until today, approx 10 minutes from when I ordered..I received my brisket and cheese sub, got to work and started eating it, dried out meat with barely any BBQ sauce, it was awfull, I ate half and threw away the other half of an almost $18 sub, boy have you gone downhill at this store. I cant see me treating myself there again.

I love Firehouse Subs! I usually always get the Hero sub, and every time it tastes exeptionally delicious, well deserving of the price. Its more expensive than Subway but twice the quality. The staff is always friendly and makes the food pretty quickly, and its nice and cool in the restaurant for the summer time. There is a lot of nice historical pictures and articles about firefighters that I like to look at, and the place has a generally unique atmosphere with firefighting memorabilia decorated around the place. I come here with my friends all the time to get a good meal. Also, the pickle slices they throw in with the subs taste awesome too. Parking: Big and usually mostly empty parking lot in front of the store. Kid-friendliness: Great welcoming place. Wheelchair accessibility: Wide entrance and accessible curb for wheelchairs.

★★★
December 23, 2023

Great subs but management is obviously an issue here. Wait times are way to long due to them only having one poor kid trying to make all the subs for online orders and internal. I waited 20 for a sub today. No fault of the sandwich maker he was great.

Ordered a turkey holiday special sub. The second time I order through the mobile app and the sandwich was sabotaged. They older lady working who made it left the turkey meat off and only prepared it with stuffing. It was discusting. Reported it to corporate. This is shameful on her behalf and its too bad for such an over priced sub. I always wondered why it was never that busy there compared to the other locations but with people like that working there Im sure a lot of people dont bother

December 23, 2023

This was the first time I have been disappointed, we had the smokehouse brisket and it was nothing like it was a few months ago. Price was the same but quantity and quality was not there Hopefully this was just one bad experience and not the new norm

Just ordered from here tonight. My sub had no sauce and no pickle on the side. Kinda dry and not a lot of flavour without the sauce. Love firehouse subs, but this was disappointing, especially knowing what I was missing.

Easily the best place to get a sub in St. Thomas. I see a lot of people on here saying its too overpriced, but I ask you this... Would you rather save a few bucks and go somewhere else? Even if I went somewhere else for a sub, I would just end up wishing I had gone to Firehouse.

★★★
December 23, 2022

I really like firehouse, the food is usually very good and the staff is friendly. Im always impressed with Emily when I see her working. But the last two times I have been my pickle has been forgotten and today they didnt put any bacon on my turkey bacon ranch sub. A little disappointing and as I dont have time to go back and have it changed.

December 23, 2022

They have forgotten the BBQ sauce on my brisket sub multiple times. Im fed up with it. I dont recommend it.

December 23, 2022

This trip to firehouse subs was terrible. No pickle first of all. After being asked. The ends of the sub were empty and quite soggy. A real disappointment I wont be back.

Ordered two steak subs and here is my intake: $17 per $35 (for both) The only ingredient it had was mayo, the meat was tasteless and the bread was dry. Will attempt another order at a later time, to review. As per the first experience, SUBS are affiliated more with a basic sandwich. For a sub experience and better value, I would recommend Subway or Mr.Sub.

So slow if you walk in, but if you ordered by Uber etc. they do your sub first. 20 minute wait for a sun is ridiculous.

What started as a frustrating otherwise difficult situation ended well. Thanks to Regan: Supervisor on duty at the time. Regan took ownership of the problem and went over and beyond the call of duty to liaise with Uber eats to ensure I was dealt with fairly. She was friendly, polite, authoritative, yet professional in her delivery and handling of the situation. Regan is an asset to Firehouse in my opinion. Other staff were friendly and courteous as well. Love their beef brisket sub. Im hooked. Be very careful of using 3rd parties to place orders. Go directly to Firehouse website, call or visit stores in person.

★★★
December 23, 2022

Every time I go I say no pickle. Ive even tried getting it on the side for my wife to no avail. I shook my head vehemently today when asked if I wanted one. Got home and not only was there a pickle but it was across my uncovered sub. I had to cut off and throw out the contaminated part. Otherwise, the subs are excellent.

December 23, 2021

I have been multiple times and it s been great, went today and I asked for lots of pickles and I think I had one piece of a pickle on one part of my sub. Then I asked for no onions and the sub I got had random couple of onions but also had peppers and whatever else too which isn t suppose to come with the sub I got. Sooo my guess is that they didn t clean the area and I guess I have to be thankful I wasn t allergic to any of those. Glad I spent $32 for that

Firehouse subs are just generally wonderful. Portions are so huge it s almost concerning when you finish a whole large sub to yourself just because of the sheer weight of it however, the pain afterwards is always worth it. This St. Thomas location is great. Staff were lovely on pick up. Lots of napkins and nicely packaged. My only suggestion would be a little less generous on the watery sauces - the last time I ordered from here my sandwich bread was pretty wet. Obviously I still ate it and it was delicious but it could ve been perfect with just a tad less moisture. 4/5 stars for now friends.

Love this place but watch out for the Female Manager ( Emily) Usually they are super good but this time my husband went in for a custom sub asking for just Pepperoni and some veggies. The lady manager( Emily) argued with him (even though we have done it before) that she cant do that. She said you can not do custom subs which is completely untrue. So he ended up walking out with literally 3 pieces of Pepperoni. Which she said was fine.

UPDATE: My previously difficult experience has since been reversed complely, the service was very accomodating and professional, Emily did a great job, thanks. Firstly, usually love Firehouse and this location; recent poor experiences center around difficulties in ordering a custom sandwich and will likely lead me to avoid this location in the future.

My first trip to Firehouse Subs occurred on October 1 and was I pleasantly surprised! I was greeted by a wonderful cashier by the name of Arielle so well-informed and efficient and as this was my first time ordering a sub I had no clue what I wanted. She walked me through the menu answering all my questions and making suggestions. I finally settled on a medium hook and ladder because as Airelle indicated that was the best value for my money (I was going to get a small). Also I m a bit fussy ( I don t like melted cheese ) but hot meat sounded yummy, they indicated that would not be problem! MY sub was made exactly to my specifications and was it delicious absolutely the best sub I have ever had. So thank you Firehouse subs I wish you much success and your staff were efficient, informed, and delightful. I ll be back!
