Firehouse Subs

Always greeted by staff with a friendly hello, kudos their attention to detail while making your sandwich shows. It's as you get the prefect sandwich as though you made it yourself (adding more or less vegetables and condiments) . Your first bite into the sandwich matches exactly what you expected it to taste like. Also the potato salad is very good too. Place is clean tables available. Great alternative to fast food hamburgers and chicken.

I ordered a southwest chicken sandwich that was on the spicier side but the chicken wasn't exactly the best quality, it was chewy, had a lot of rubbery pieces. Their apple cookie was absolutely delicious as a sweet treat. Overall it was an ok lunch, I'm not sure I'd return for a sandwich even though the flavour was delicious, the meat was a little suspicious!

The staff brings out the food to you and also grabs your plates when you are done. Their GF bread is fantastic!

It seems like the ingredients are pretty good quality, turano bread ...eh, it's ok not great bread but I can look past that if tastes good. Unfortunately it's just kind of boring sandwiches. I think they need to come up with some more interesting stuff, personally. A lot of people like the boring stuff though and it seems to be working for them but this place would knock it out of the park if they could get some more interesting sauces and sandwich ideas. Bubs subs, when they were around, baked their own bread and made their own sauces and came up with some really interesting sandwiches like their fire bird. Would like to see some stuff like that or something interesting like a Cuban sandwich. Some more spicier options and spicier sauces etc.

My little brother and I were in the area, and he recommended this place since he had already tried…read moreit at another location. I decided to follow his lead, and we both ordered the tender slider meal with fries. We also paid extra for the cheese sauce for the fries. One thing I really like is that you can customize the spice level on the chicken tenders. That's especially nice for my wife because she's not a big fan of spicy food. While we waited for our food, I had a chance to check out the atmosphere. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, and they also offer outdoor seating. I really liked the graffiti-style artwork throughout the walls, which gave the place a fun and energetic vibe. The service was good, and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. Now, let's talk about the chicken tender--it was huge! It was actually bigger than the soft potato bun, which really impressed me. The tender was fully coated in their spice seasoning, giving it a nice red color. We ordered it hot, and I'm glad we did because the spice level was just right for us. The tender was drizzled with their signature sauce, which was creamy with a slight sweetness that helped balance out the heat. The slider also came with coleslaw and a pickle. Overall, the sandwich had great presentation, flavor, and texture. The crinkle-cut fries were pretty basic but had a light Cajun seasoning. The cheese sauce was creamy with a mild flavor that reminded me of nacho cheese. One thing I noticed is that the meal doesn't come with a beverage, which was a little surprising. Overall, I was really satisfied with the chicken slider. I'd definitely come back again, especially with my wife. The closest location to us is in the Schaumburg area, so I'm looking forward to bringing her along next time.

We have eaten at Dave's a few times. Food is tasty (my hubby always orders the chicken and I order…read morethe not-chicken). The not-chicken (cauliflower) is really good, especially at a hot spice level. Employees are usually very friendly and the place is always clean (sometimes it's a little sticky by the pop machine, but that is to be expected). My only complaint is that they need to crank the a/c in the summer because it gets very hot in there. Eating hot wings in a sauna is crazy.

Sunday "Father's Day... Worst Restaurant Experience!…read moreMy son and grandson wanted to take me out for a Father's Day lunch and we chose The Chick and the Pig since we never ate there. We got there around 12:30, ordered our food by phone (because there is no wait staff other than a bar tender), pay for the food via phone, and waited a hour only to be told that there was no food left. Customers that came in after us had ordered and ate but not us. Finally my son went up to the kitchen window to ask why we didn't get our food. The kitchen staff told my son "We ran out of food". One would figure that there would have been some type of announcement made instead of leaving us and some other customers hanging but, nobody said a peep. This was the worst experience we've ever had at any restaurant! How can this place even operate without a wait staff and run out of food soon after it opened for the day. It simply was not busy enough to run out of food. Seems to me that the underlying problem is the owner and management. One thing I do know is that I will never go to this restaurant again nor their other restaurant Bold American Fare. Thanks Chick and the Pig for leaving us hungry and for giving us a very bad experience on Father's Day!!
