It's tucked…read moreinside TeaDM, so don't waste time looking for a storefront, just head into TeaDM and you'll find the Bon Me Shack counter. Ordering is quick and easy through the iPad, and I went with the Beef Perfect Bowl over rice. The portion alone impressed me. It came piled high with grilled beef, fresh greens, rice, and even an egg roll, making it feel like a complete meal rather than just a rice bowl. The beef was flavorful, the vegetables added a nice freshness, and while I'm trying to cut back on carbs, I have to admit the sticky rice soaked up all the savory sauce and was hard to stop eating. The only thing I would do differently next time is ask for jalapeños or another spicy topping. I like my food with a little more heat, and I think that extra kick would have taken the bowl to the next level. There are a handful of tables if you want to eat there, but I grabbed mine to go. Hidden gem is an overused phrase, but in this case it actually fits. Generous portions, solid flavors, and reasonable prices for this day and age.

This was not just bad customer service -- this involved toxic chemicals being sprayed in an area where customers were present, including me , creating a legitimate community health concern. And to top it off, dishonesty afterward. Manager Jourdan directly told me he reviewed security footage and claimed there was "absolutely no one" spraying chemicals during the incident. And that nobody came that sprayed . That statement is false. I have evidence proving it happened, and another manager had already confirmed to me that they had a person spraying that morning., and I have a voicemail recording of this proof he was in fact scheduled and present at that time, right by my car. (yes I'm aware he was which is why it was reported.) Although the first manager eventually apologized and acknowledged what happened, she also attempted to bring up unrelated past complaints -- only a few of which even existed and were completely valid -- in an effort to deflect responsibility and suggest I should "enjoy another location that can better serve me." Attempting to gaslight a customer instead of fully addressing a dangerous situation is absolutely unacceptable. These individuals should not be in managing , or customer service, let alone overseeing a franchise in our community. It is absolutely deplorable to see management respond to a legitimate health concern with denial, dishonesty, blame-shifting, and a refusal to take full accountability. Instead of properly addressing the exposure of customers to harmful chemicals, they chose to deny, dismiss, and mislead. No customer should ever have to fight to be believed when THEY PUT THEIR health and safety are at risk. I ALSO HAVE A SERIOUS DISEASE AND I WILL BE SURE TO REPORT THIS TO OTHER OTHERS NOW THAT I KNOW HOW THEY RESPONDED TO THIS, AND I GAVE HIM A CHANCE. After more than 10 years of loyalty, they permanently lost my business. Businesses that ignore dangerous situations and then mislead customers about them do not deserve public trust -- or your money.

The size of the chicken is a bit smaller also in comparison and their fries are normal crinkle fries. I also did not like their slaws. It is cut so small that they falls out when eating the sandwich.

It is probably a good place to go if you live around there and want to get a quick bite. Maybe I will go back and try the Halal Guys style #1.

A HUGE thank you to Firehouse Subs and Marc Engelking at the Sugarland Crossing location. Marc helped the Seneca Ridge Middle School PTO plan a lunch for our teachers and staff (apx. 120 ppl). Marc returned every call quickly, was personable and very helpful when it came to picking out foods and amounts. Marc offered a discount for our PTO AND a tax break (local non-profit)!! I priced out similar foods (sandwiches, salads, cookies, chips) at other local businesses - the prices were higher, the service less inspiring, and no discounts were offered. To top it all off, Marc personally delivered the food ahead of schedule so we were ready on time. We had an abundance of food, it was delicious, and the teachers and staff loved it!! What a success. I highly recommend Firehouse Subs at Sugarland Crossing. read more

Stopped in for lunch with my son today. We've been here several times before. Always a good sandwich and good experience. Only negative was they first made my order to go after I asked to dine in, and they forgot my pickle.
