I would concur with most Reviewers in that the quality of the food is much better than Subway. The service is even better and the way that they present themselves is something that I have rarely experienced in any other sandwich shop. They greet everyone who walks through the door 'Welcome to Firehouse'. The crew was respectful, attentive, and nice to me when I was placing my order. I ordered the hook and ladder sandwich combo that had smoked turkey and ham. It was very delicious and I had no problem finishing all of it! I have yet to check out other Firehouses but I'm guessing they are all on even par. The next time I'm in Fairfax and I'm feeling hungry I'll have to check them out again! read more

I stopped in on 8/31 around 4:15 pm and I truly believe Firehouse Subs has hired Zombies to work the Main Street location. HORRIBLE customer service!!! The guy taking the order walked to the cash register and just looked at me and my daughter. No "can I help you" or "any questions" he seemed so annoyed and just had a miserable personality. I said "thank you" to the other idiot working and what do you think he said? NOTHING! I also noticed the person that took my order answered the phone, ran register, made sandwiches, and NEVER put on a new pair of gloves. I will be a loyal customer to FireHouse Subs, becaue the food is amazing, and I have always experienced great customer service at other locations. Definitely will not return to the Main Street location unless they clean house and get some people that take pride in their jobs and offer great customer service. read more

Fantastic sandwiches! And exemplary service. The couple that owns the establishment are so personable and friendly! And they remember you. I usually only eat half of my sandwich, and the other day, when they brought it to the table, I got half in the basket and half already wrapped up to go! Now that's service! read more

So I've been to this place a few times. The first time I had it a few years ago. I got a turkey sub and I felt like I could have made a better one. I just went here recently to try it out again, and i still feel the same about it. it takes a while for the sub to come out and its nothing special just meat on bread. I got turkey and bacon and it a was flavorless. I guess it didn't hurt to try it again to know that I would just go to subway. Everyone is very friendly though :) read more

I have eaten at Firehouse Subs twice. Most recently was a couple of days ago on a Sunday afternoon in early March. My wife and I were hungry, and she was craving sandwiches. So we stopped here for a quick lunch. I ordered the steamer sub, which is basically a pastrami sandwich. My wife ordered a cheesesteak sandwich. I'll start off by saying that the food here is OK. Not great, not even good, but will do if hungry. My main complaint about my sandwich is that the pastrami was super thin and had very little flavor. The thinness reminded me of shaved ham slices. It definitely did not even come close to being a great sandwich or even a good sandwich. I feel similar about the cheesesteak sandwich as well. Although there was lots of meat, the sandwich lacked flavor. The cheese was flavorless and the steak was dry. We can tell that it was not freshly made. In the end, I think Firehouse Subs is just a more expensive subway. I'm not a fan of subway, but I think I would rather eat at subway. The subs at Firehouse subs were nothing special, and I do not recommend eating here unless you really need to. read more

I've loved firehouse subs for years but this was not a good trip at all. First time at this location. My bread looked & tasted burnt but somehow the bread was EXTREMELY soggy. I've never been so confused. On top of that my sandwich did not taste like the traditional sandwich that I've gotten multiple times from other locations in the past. Super disappointing and I won't be returning. Come on man... put some care into it :( read more

Yuck! I've eaten at Firehouse subs once and never again. I love subs, but I don't know what they put on theirs that makes them taste so weird and funky. Won't return. read more

Quick & firendly service as always! ;) *Good subs too* read more

Firehouse Subs - Storefront - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

No question about it, this was the best sub I've ever had. I had a sub with corned beef and pastrami with cheese mayo and mustard. Everything about it was amazing. The tender thin sliced meat, delicious melted cheese, and great balance of mayo and mustard. What I was most impressed with was the bread. For the most part I dislike bread on a sub because it always seems a chore to chew through or in the way of good flavor. But at Firehouse it was soft bread that really was a worthwhile part of the sandwich. I just finished eating my firehouse sub and am fighting the urge to go back and get another. read more

I stopped for a quick lunch after shopping near by. Ordered number 7: cheesesteak on a wear bread, it was ok. Loved the pickle. read more

Firehouse Subs - Simply delicious!!!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Not worth the money. I like firehouse subs, but this location can't get an order right. Also has staff that doesn't listen to the costumers. I repeated my order to the lady behind the counter, so proceed to tell me what I ordered, which I didn't order any of it, and she looked at me like I was an idiot, then proceed to tell me, well that's what the screen says. So I repeated my order to her again, she says "yes" then walks away. I go to leave the store and not to my surprise, my order was wrong.... Seriously, go to a different location...this place is the worst! read more

I usually really like firehouse subs, but this one is a franchise owned by someone named Harry P. who has anger management problems. When my sub had an issue he yelled at me about it saying that his subs were the best subs, he had one awards for his subs, ect. ect. ect. it was really weird and he wouldn't remake my sandwich saying that it was "already made perfectly" read more

With all the hype around this sub shop, I found this eatery to be fair at best. My daughter picked me up a steak and cheese from there today. The portion was fine, but the quality of their sliced steak was surprisingly weak. The steak was sinewy with more gristle than I'd ever expect. If I was to order from there again, I'll absolutely avoid their cheesesteak. Can't talk to the other subs...will post my candid feedback if and when I try another variety. read more

Terrible experience.......... I ordered a large steak and cheese sub, and they offered to include a pickle slice. After I left and started eating my food, I realized the pickle slice wasn't there and they forgot to add cheese one side of the sandwich. My friend also ordered a sub, and he didn't get his pickle either. Very disappointed Will never go back again........... read more

Food is ok nothing to brag about. I like the theme and the shaded outdoor seatings. The mall strip is convenient with plenty of parking, its good for rotating lunch time. read more

First time at Firehouse and I am blown away! Fast, very friendly service. Excellent food and toppers that the manager brought over a free cookie as we were eating. We'll be back! read more

Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket Sub was sooo good!! Odd that they asked if I wanted a Medium or Large and didn't offer a small size...?

Ate lunch here on a Thursday at about 1pm. They were not very busy. We had the jerked turkey and the hook and ladder subs. The service is very friendly and fast. The subs were brought to our table and were delicious. We had the combination meals that includes drinks and chips and cost about $20. We think it is a great value. The restaurant is very clean. The tables were wiped down and the no trash or food on the floor. Friendly service, delicious food, and very clean. We highly recommend this location and will be back. read more

I come to this firehouse almost once a week. The food is always good, it never lets me down. The customer service at this location is great! The staff is very friendly and will treat you like family. It is always very clean and a great atmosphere inside. read more

I was in a bit of a hurry and needed to get back to my office quickly. I ordered an Italian sub, chips, brownie, and drink via the "pick-up option" on the Yelp app. Ordering online was easy and allowed me to select the toppings, side and drink that I wanted. My order was correct and ready when I arrived (less than 10 minutes). There is a separate line for pick-up next to the cashier so be mindful when standing in line. read more

Very welcoming and nice staff, I was surprised how big the sandwiches are. Definitely a better value then subway, Quiznos, Jerry's subs, and taste way better too! I have eaten every sandwich on and off the menu and can definitely recommend the steak & cheese, Italian, turkey bacon ranch. All so good. read more

First time here. Ordered a veggie sub. Drove home. Unwrapped it. Got a sub full of meat. I do not eat meat. I paid for a sub that I had to throw into the trash. Called and asked to speak to a manager. Was told that there was no manager there. Absolutely never, ever going back. Waste of time and money. Also, it took them a really long time to make it and the bread was slimy and soggy when I unwrapped it. The wet bread broke apart into two pieces and the filling fell out, so even if it had been the right sub, it looked very gross and unappetizing and hard to eat. read more

Not the best. I got mine to go and after driving 5 minutes back to my office, it was completely soggy. Why would anyone make a veggie sub "hot"? I was liking that my bread was toasted, until I opened it up and saw a sorry, soggy disaster. Maybe it was just this location, I would try another one but no HOT veggie subs! Stupid idea! read more

I'm a fan of Firehouse Subs. It is comparable with Pot Belly's which is also my favorite sub place. I usually get the NY Steamer which has corned beef brisket, pastrami, AND melted provolone - delicious! read more

Ok, I was going to write a scathing review because our sandwich had something gross in it that wasn't supposed to be there that ended up ruining our lunch, and we were starving by that point, but I have to say that the manger made it right, and appeased us. There is something to be said about customer service, and this place has it right. Because of this, I will go back again because of convenience and great sandwiches and hope or the best next time. read more

There are many franchise sub shops popping up these days. I like to eat subs for lunch and frequent all of them. I was a little disappointed with the experience at Firehouse. It is a bit of a challenge to make an order as the menu is comparatively confusing. The wait was longer than their counterparts. The sandwich seemed flattened (for lack of a better word) and the meat of lower quality. With all these great other choices, I would give this one a miss. read more

No "welcome to firehouse" and after waiting 20 minutes, the bread was not toasted. Not good. Will not be back.

I went here for the first time and got the NY Steamer and a pulled pork sandwich. The place was empty and I was greeted immediately. The pulled pork sandwich was very salty and not good. The NY Steamer tasted like a hot dog and I didn't enjoy it *might just be me* After eating these two I had this almost burning like salty taste left in my mouth the rest of the day and it was horrible. I'm not sure if I will return and try something new, but I did not enjoy the food at all that I got. It seems like this place gets judged against quiznos, subway, and jerrys and I don't eat from any of these places. read more

Great subs! Service is friendly, staff is helpful, ordering was easy, dining area is clean, tables sit very close to one another, food is delivered to the table when ready, they have the coca-cola freestyle machines. The dining room is noisy and for some reason always a little chilly. But I've tried three different sandwiches, my son has tried two. All were great. About 50 bottles of a variety of sauces (mustards, bbqs, hot sauces-labeled 1-10 for heat) line the counter for your own variations. Priced like subway but way better food. (Technically my daughter, who only eats the bread, says subway rolls are better). read more

I first went to Firehouse Subs in Manassas. That location was awesome. They made . suggestions on addition and treated me more like a welcome addition instead of a job they had to do. The sandwich was awesome. So I try the chain in Fairfax. I immediately felt likit was an imposition for them to.serve me. It might have been the Hoodie I was wearing and the sweat pants. But they finally got my order an it was okay. The sandwich was find but I felt uncomfortable being in the store. Now when I went to the Firehouse in Vienna it was much more pleasant and like the one I had previously visit in Manassas. read more

I just had a baby 2 weeks ago and my best friend's mom offered to buy us dinner last week. We decided to order from Firehouse via GrubHub. My best friend's mom asked for no dressing as we requested and the food came right on time. When we got the subs it had dressing! I called Firehouse and spoke to a man named Harry... I explained to him my situation and he was so rude... He did offer to remake the subs and my husband stopped by and picked it up...Won't be coming back ever! read more

Good subs, maybe a little skimpy on the meat! Sometimes the sauces and condiments are overdone. The Hawaian sandwich is tasty, but ask for just a little slaw. Like the drink machine. read more

Let me put it this way - I'm a mostly vegetarian, but I ate the WHOLE Turkey Salsa Verde Sub that I ordered (thinking I would only eat maybe half). My son and I stopped by Firehouse Subs before catching a movie at the nearby theater. When we walked in, it seemed very much oriented to families with little kids, so we weren't expecting much. What a surprise! The meats and breads were the freshest we'd had in a long time, and the imaginative combinations very tasty and well-conceived. Adults may be put off by the obvious marketing to families with little kids, but don't pass up this place if you're looking for great food at a relatively cheap price. read more

This Firehouse is my go-to place for subs. Got two sandwiches today and am very disappointed! The amount of meat was approximately half of what it normally is and I'm wondering what happened! Firehouse is twice as expensive as Subway, but usually well worth the money. I could have saved myself 10 bucks today and just gone elsewhere if I wanted a sub roll with a hint of meat! read more

Delicious food, clean place, plenty of space to eat in peace. I ate here for the first time and we had a great experience. My hot turkey and ham sub was really good, and the service was excellent. I was so impressed and I wish I lived closer, I'd be a regular. read more

Absolutely worst customer service experience. Waited over an hour for 2 subs and when I called customer support to get an eta they said a driver had not picked up order yet! Only reason I didn't cancel at that moment was because support promised to send new driver and new subs in 25 minutes... we'll 35 minutes later restaurant calls me to ask if I'm coming to pick up my order since no grubhub driver arrived! I had to call customer support back to cancel and get my credit. So basically nearly 2 hours later and never got our 2 subs! Atrocious, I'll never order with yelp grubhub again! read more

Firehouse is great! We got about twice a month before grocery shopping, and we've always gotten great service and food. They have an awesome selection of hot sauces which varies by the day. If you like something spicy this is a great place to eat! read more

I have eaten at a couple of the Firehouse subs locally, this one is by far the best. Highly recommend.

I just went here for the first time earlier this week and loved it! The place is real clean, the drinks are huge and the subs are the best I've had in a while. I used to really like the Penn Station in Fairfax but now I think this must be the Penn Station killer. Come here for subs. read more
