****DO NOT TRY TO GO IN THIS STORE. THEY RAN ME OUT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO MANY ONLINE ORDERS. They had the doors locked at 11 AM had nobody sitting in the store eating but refused to take your order if you walked in because they were slammed for online orders. What kind of store would ever turn away a in person order? Wow speechless I have no words. read more

Firehouse Subs - Fast Food Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

Staff OK. 3 Stars Sandwiches 3 Stars Value for the money 1 Star. We, wife and I, eat out a lot. Breakfast,, lunch five times or more a week. Dinner 1 or 2 times a week. This FH was a good place a couple of years ago. Staff was great. Food was good and the prices reasonable. No more. Prices are terrible for what you get. $33.00 for 2 med sandwiches, two drinks and a couple of small bags of chips. At the high end this should be 26.00. Charged 4.29 each for fountain drinks that cost them 50 cents. Alternatives, Culvers 2 pork sandwiches, fries/onion rings and drinks $23.00. Beef O Brady's 2 burgers, fries and drinks $24.00. These are two experiences for us in the past few days. I could continue but you have the idea. Shop around. We walked out of 5 guys and chick filet. Should have done the same here.

Stopped by for a quick bite after developing an appetite at J&J. Nice place, super clean and great staff. Ordered the Firehouse Steak and cheese Sub. Really hit the spot and unlimited refills for your drinks can't be topped. My Cuz had the meatball sub and said it was really good. Kudos to the staff they work hard and keep the place spotless! read more

Firehouse Subs - Firehouse Steak & Cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

Best hot subs around. Cold subs are okay, better than Subway but not as good as Jersey Mike's.

Our go to place for subs to go for our outdoor adventures, today a canoeing trip down Peace River! Very fresh ingredients, can't beat it!

Wow! So sad that all the employees looked miserable as soon as I walked in. I smiled and said hello, and nothing. When I got to the counter, the girl seemed annoyed. I said, "nobody seems happy today." Her response was nothing except, "what can I get you"? Almost turned around to leave; however, I was hungry and the place was very clean, and remember the food being good from other Firehouse subs I've been to. Seriously, if employees are that unhappy, they need to go elsewhere and the management should be aware!! I will not be back to this location. read more

Fast and friendly service. Good selection of subs and salads. Wide variety of beverages. Good rewards.

Great sub sandwich for lunch or supper. Taste great good quantity of meat. Will be back again and again. read more

Went in there yesterday. 4 people working and not a customer in the store. After 10 minutes they still hadn't started making my sandwich so I had to ask for a refund. Worst firehouse subs on the planet. Do not go here. Rude and not efficient. read more

I've tried several, most recent the engineer. Lots of seating, cool fountain drink selector. My children enjoy it too!

Not so good, not a friendly place to eat, probably won't be back,liked the idea of contributing to the Firemen, but that's all

Food is great! The girls taking orders are horrible. I've been to the Port Charlotte Florida store several times and every time I'm there they have so much attitude. Doesn't matter if I'm smiling or not. They will huff and roll their eyes when taking someone's order, and look at them like they are aggravated by you coming there? Girl trust me if my son didn't want it, I would go somewhere else due to the employees. Go find another job if you're not happy. read more

I would rate with a five star rating if the employees were friendly. The food is delicious, and I really like their bread!

Food is pretty good, soft rolls and decent amount of meat. A bit on the small size overall but ok. Some of the Staff could be friendlier, it doesn't take much to say Hello. read more

Firehouse Subs - Large Club Sub - Fast Food Near Me - Port Charlotte, Florida

Ordered this for delivery lastnight. First time trying this location but gave it a go since we are having a sleepover this weekend and this was something we could all agree on. Food arrived on time and that is about the only plus for this review. Out of the 7 subs ordered, I would say the meatball subs would take top place for actual meat between some bread. The other subs, however, were pretty bare. More bread than meat is hardly worth the amount charged. Flavor was subpar. Only a sliver of a pickle on the side - try 1/4 of a spear - no chips and no drink included, which I understood when ordering, but still does not justify the price. That said, drop the price or add the value. I won't do this one, again. read more

Firehouse is so unbelievably good! You can expect to spend $8-$12 for a meal but you do get very good portions. You also get a huge variety of sauces from the little self serve sauce station. It's super cool inside and is a definite place to try! There philly cheese steaks are one of my favorites! Along with the brisket...... and now I'm hungry LOL!!!!! GO TRY IT!!!! read more

We've been back since our first time and each time it gets worse and worse. Last time, I was able to eat half the sandwich, but we had extra rolls to use for the other half. This time the bottom bun is soaking wet and falling apart already. The top bun is soggy, it's disgusting. I took the meat and fixing off and was going to eat that, but gave it to my husband. He'll eat anything. It's Saturday, he was nice enough to drive over during his football game and get it, I wasn't asking him to drive back. I picked up the last order. I was surprised people walk in, they see me standing there, because there is nothing for me to pick up. I wait for someone to acknowledge me. Someone walked up right where I was standing, grabbed something, turned around to walk away, and I said Hello!! Hi! Someone then asked who I was, and I was told me there was an order of 40 subs ahead of me. I don't mind waiting. I'm happy to see a business thriving. I saw how the liquid gets on the bun to soak it though. It's when they are putting meat in the microwave, dump some of the liquid out and the rest goes on the sandwich. Other sub shops also use the meat packs, microwaves, and the bun isn't soaked. read more

This location is "O K" but if we REALLY have a craving for Firehouse subs, we drive to the Venice or Sarasota Bee Ridge locations. The other 2 locations seem to have softer bread and more meat on the subs. Don't get me wrong, thos location isn't bad: the staff is great, it's clean, food tastes pretty good, it's just that it seems like their bread is always slightly dried out and the amount of stuff you get on your sub just isn't as much as at the other 2 places. read more

Waited 45 minutes for two meatball subs. Finally asked for money back and was told it was credited back to my card. Asked for a receipt and the receipt was $6.50 less than what was charged. Nice scam. Do not go to this place. read more

Well, we have been going here for over 5 years, saying that I need to say how bad the subs have gotten is a testament to how much we love our subs! Tonight my husband picked me up a sub that I ordered! So much Mayo that I can't even eat it! I'm so sad! Not sure if we will go back! read more

Very Clean place. friendly staff. Awesome food. Nothing like a nice warm sub. they bring it right to your table

Finally third time they got it right. Sandwich exactly as I ordered it. Great sandwich everything fresh and delicious. Fresh brewed tea sweet and unsweet fantastic. Only took three attempts in the last few months to get the sandwich as I ordered it. Hopefully this trend will continue. read more

So I came into this establishment for my first time. There were five employees and no one and I mean no one acknowledged me or my bf. They were busy doing take out orders for ppl that weren't even here. Now in a normal circumstance you at least great the customer and say I'll be right with you. Not here just straight out ignored till they were done. Finally when they took our order no apology just a dry response of what can I get you. This upsets me because there are so many ppl out there who need a job who are actually friendly. The food here is great but the customer service is completely nonchalant, non existent and plain out rude. The manager needs to retrain there rude staff or maybe he or she doesn't care. It took over 15 minutes to make 2 sandwiches which is extremely long imo and my bag was leaking and had to get another one which again rude like it was my fault. The firefighters deserve better representation. read more

Staff was friendly when we were there. Got our food home, a steak an cheese, Italian, and a hero. It was soggy, the meat on the steak tasted weird an rubbery and the Italian was made incorrectly. They have a sigh stating if you don't love it in one bite money back. We called. Got an attitude from the manager who became belligerent and informed us that policy isn't entirely true and only the owner can give a refund. 32$ of food later we were left hungry, disappointed an very upset with how we were treated by management. Although firehouse sub has a good idea in mind with there support for Firefighters they do not have the same heart for the customers here in Port Charlotte. read more

Looking for good food at a reasonable price? Then this Firehouse Subs owned by Kim & Russ is the place to go. We were a team competing in a spring break tournament in Punta Gorda, Florida last week with a schedule that was difficult to manage for post-game team meals. The Firehouse Subs in Port Charlotte came to our rescue! Most food service places in the area close at 9pm, delivery even earlier. Kim worked with us to ensure our orders arrived no more than 20 minutes before the end of our game - that was 9:45pm that evening. No one else was willing to deliver to the park that late, but Russ did. I cannot wax lyrical enough about how accommodating the Port Charlotte Firehouse Subs restaurant staff was for us. Kim & Russ - please tell the staff that we really appreciated their hard work because the Sub platters were perfect from the quantities (you nailed the total subs perfectly!), the packaging and to the taste. Kim, those cookies and brownies were a hit - I only wish I ordered more! Our team beat the #1 D3 ranked team that evening, maybe Firehouse brought us luck?! read more

I think some of these positive reviews are fake. I went to this store after going to another one in Sarasota. The Store in Sarasota was great. The employees were enthusiastic, good food, clean store etc. I went to this Port Charlotte location and the employees were like dead bodies, my club sandwich was not tasty. I can see why the place was empty. It's a known fact you can't find good help in Port Charlotte even if the management is good. read more

If none of you see fit to acknowledge my existence from behind the counter while I'm standing there, waiting on you, I'm going elsewhere, kiddos. read more

Always delicious, friendly, manager came out to check on things several times. We're from north port and make it a point to eat here

I have always been a fan of Firehouse. I was very glad to see one open in Port Charlotte. I have been to this one a few times as I work in the same plaza and it has been excellent every time! For the size of sub it slightly pricey, but its better than any sub shop that I know of so I'll pay it! read more

Best, best, best Meatball Sub we have ever had. Place was very clean and staff friendly. Exactly what the area needed!

Nice atmosphere, very clean. Kids loved soda machine and fire helmets.

definitely the best subs in P.C. NO comparison with the competition. Yummy

Owners were most accomodating. Helped with food for a charity event. I had to taste it (of course), and ingredients were very fresh! Just gotta love community spirited businesses!! read more
