A Blimpie with a 4.8 on Yelp and 4.5 on Google Maps... seriously? You know this Yelper had to…read moreinvestigate. For context, I'm a Subway loyalist. I used to eat it daily back when a full meal was $4.99, and I've even had Subway in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. So yes, I have a calibrated palate for mass‑market sandwiches. They've got a handful of subs on special, but for a couple bucks more I went with my usual Italian--here called the "Italiano"--on Cheddar Jalapeño bread. And of course I did the footlong because size does matter. I asked for it toasted, only to discover they use a panini press, which flattens the bread like a stress test. Not my favorite. Ironically, I used to love Blimpie's oven‑style toast before Subway even offered it. They do have a separate oven for melting cheese, and that part I absolutely recommend. The sandwich itself was very good and definitely in Subway territory. For $1.29 you can grab a self‑serve cookie--critical, because I can select the front‑row cookie with the maximum chip‑to‑dough ratio. Fresh daily, solid flavor, very Subway‑adjacent. But I still prefer Subway's footlong cookie. It's a personality trait at this point. Staff was extremely friendly. I'm pretty sure the owner was working the counter, unless a gentleman of his seniority just enjoys staying busy or needs the cash, which is increasingly common these days. Honestly, that personal touch is probably what gives this place an edge over Subway. Pepsi products here. Acceptable, but I'm a Coke person. Blimpie is becoming an endangered species, even though it predates Subway by a year. But overall, I still think Subway has the stronger product.

Why 5 stars? Because this long awaited visit was so worth the wait…read more --- --- --- This was one of those places I have not only had on my list forever, but I've tried to go a comical amount of times. Somehow, someway, it seems to never work out for me. But it finally happened and I'm mad at myself that it took so long. Probably 2+ years ago a friend and I were at a local sub shop in Sugar Land, and he mentioned how Blimpie was always his favorite. I couldn't even remember if I'd ever been to a Blimpie, but I saw that there happened to be one, so I bookmarked it on that day, and it haunted me ever since. Blimpie cares not about decor or vibes, but they do make an absolutely incredible sandwich. The menu is unique, in that each sandwich is basically just one ingredient different than the sandwich above it. I opted for the Blimpie Best Deluxe on parmesan bre The bread was pillowy soft. The flavor of the sandwich was absolute perfection. It somehow got better each bite. I could not believe how much I liked it and how sad I was when it was over. It will probably torment me indefinitely that I didn't order the larger sandwich. I will prevail. And I will visit again. My question though, is very simply: why did Blimpie almost completely go away? It's light years better than Subway.

How I heard of this place: My sisters were hungry after a day of travel and wanted something quick…read more We had heard of Waffle House, but none of us had tried it, so when we saw one on our way to the hotel, we decided to give it a go. Type of cuisine: American diner style options. Ambiance: Plastic everything. The space is yellowed with lighting and very reminiscent of 1980s fast food dining. Sticky booths welcomed us as we took our seats and were offered menus tableside to place our orders Our server even did magic tricks for us! What I ordered: Texas Bacon, Egg & Cheese Melt with Three Slices of Smithfield® Bacon, One Egg and Two Slices of Melted American Cheese served on Texas Toast and a side of Bert's Chili, Texas Sausage, Egg & Cheese Melt - Two Jimmy Dean® Sausage Patties, One Egg and Two Slices of Melted American Cheese served on Texas Toast with a side of Bert's Chili, and a side of hash browns and sauteed vegetables. What I loved: The Texas toast was fun and greasy and just what you'd want for a late-night meal after a day of travel. The veggies and hash browns were tasty and simple, buttery and good. Why I loved it: The magic tricks and friendliness of our server truly made our visit. Cost: Low to Average

I ordered the breakfast meal (eggs, hash browns, toast) and a regular waffle. The food itself was decent! The toast had just the right amount of butter, and the hash browns were good. The waffle was cooked just right. In retrospect, I think I should have gotten a topping for the waffle. Overall, the portion sizes were generous and food was reasonably priced. It was definitely a great value.

I have seen this trend slipping into other establishments and it needs to be called out. Also the open sign and doors were locked 9 minutes before published closing time. Overall great experience

Once she started to eat the sub she took a bite out of it and that's when she pulled out a long piece of "BLACK HAIR", mid bite. Of course disappointed and disgusted she immediately stopped eating and threw the sub away. Due to the job that I work I don't have my phone on me at all times, once I was able to go check my phone and call firehouse about the issue they were closed by 10pm. Also I work overnight, when I got off the next morning I looked to see when does the store open which is at 11am , this is the Firehouse Subs Atascocita location . I called and asked to speak with a manager , I then Spoke with Manager Steve . I explained to him the issue and concern that I had with my order the night prior and he stated that, " I needed to bring the sub in so that they can inspect it in order for them to remake it and in the event that something like this happens I need to call them and let them know. I explained that I work overnight and that the sub was discarded and that I always order from here and never have I've ever had an issue like this. He then proceeds to say that it's there policy that I call immediately and bring in the sub only to get a remake of the sub. I said that I don't want a remake I would like a refund for that sub, mind you I ordered 3 subs and only 1 had "HAIR" in it . I was only requesting a refund for the one sub. He then says I definitely wouldn't get a refund because they have to have proof of purchase , as if my order number and receipt isn't proof enough because I no longer have the sub. I then ask why is it not listed on the receipt that's they're policy to do all these things and not discard of the item if they're is an issue with someone's order. He states that we don't have to list that on the receipt , how would someone know to do something if it isn't marked or said anywhere for the customer to know to do it. I then asked can I get the corporate number he tells me he is corporate for that location and that he's the only one to talk to. He was very unprofessional and didn't care about making the situation right, but instead immediately went into a defensive tone of voice. I then asked why weren't the staff wearing hair nets and he stated that they did have on hair nets. I assured him that when I picked up my order the night before at least 3 staff members who was making orders didn't have on hair nets. They had on hats but not hair nets . So much so there is a Caucasian employee who has flowy long hair , that wasn't tied back make customers orders. He then brush's me off and says there is nothing that he can do and that I could have a great and hung up. I'm writing this review to raise awareness for this location, this is the first time this has happened to me at this location and the disrespect and lack of respect from this manager should be dealt with . You shouldn't eat at this location because cleanliness is everything and the staff is going to do everything but reassure you or help you with an issues .

We saw 2 staffers here during our visit. One young gal who was mostly in the back and came out when a party of 3 entered after us and the "main" guy who took our order and who was stationed behind the counter the entire time we were in there. What stood out to me and which I thought was odd was his dunking my chicken into what appeared to be a vat of hot water that was contained just below the oven thru which your sandwich passes and gets toasted. I'm guessing that was to heat up the chicken but it left me scratching my head. Later on, I was also wondering how sanitary that was because it wasn't like it was fresh water. In fact, it was uncovered, so anything could have fallen into it throughout the course of the day. I suggest the proprietor (or even corporate) look into this practice because it just didn't sit well with me. Other than that, my chicken sandwich was not all that tasty and it was slathered in (way too much) sauce. The best part of the meal was the bag of Baked Lays chips I ordered :-/ I don't see myself coming back here.
