Firehouse Subs in Cedar Rapids

“We have been here several times over the last few months. Every time we have had quick service and our sammies were made correctly. On our visit last weekend my wife even made the comment, "this is one of the few places I don't have to rebuild my sandwich as soon as I get it".The New York Steamer has been my go-to for years, never disappoints.“

“On this visit to Firehouse Subs, I got the Italian Sub on Wheat combo with Mac and Cheese for my side dish. I also got a New York Steamer for my dad.The New York Steamer earned my dad’s approval. About the only issue he had with it was the saltiness but that was a minor deal.The pickle spears (complimentary with the sandwiches) were crisp and fresh. Just the right amount of tang and crunch.Normally, I don’t have white cheddar for Mac and cheese but this was pretty tasty. The sauce isn’t too runny or too thick. For anyone who might want to add flavor to it, the restaurant provides several different types of hot sauce packets.As for my Italian Sub, I found it to be well made. Granted, it got a little soggy on the bottom but that was probably from the dressing added. All the ingredients worked well together and everything was fresh. I personally don’t think this sandwich would need any other sauce on it; doing so would likely alter the flavors and make it messier.The subs are kind of pricey but the quality is without question and there’s plenty of options to choose from.One more thing: this location has an electronic drink dispenser. That allows customers dozens of options for beverages ranging from Orange Fanta to Cherry Limeade (the restaurant’s specialty) to even cream soda.If you’re craving a sub sandwich,you can’t go wrong with Firehouse Subs.“
