Firehouse Subs in Niagara Falls

“WANNABE HEALTHY SIDE DISH CONNOISSEUR
Currently, my main focus when deciding where and what to eat while eating or ordering out is whether the food item(s) are of a healthier nature and what the price is.

Usually, the items I choose are found on the Side Dish portion of the menu. (Not always, but often).

This is the case at Firehouse Subs, where I order their Chilli from their Sides menu.

Their chilli is meaty with kidney beans, diced tomatoes and onions, and a sauce that is not spicy. I personally like to taste my chilli, not feel it burn. You can always add a little heat yourself, but you can't take it out once it's in.

The price for the bowl of chilli is $5.94, which is quite reasonable, considering the high protein and fiber content.

The sodium content is a little  high - 850mg - but I often don't eat the whole portion at once, usually pouring half the chilli over a baked potato (which I get from a Sides menu at another nearby restaurant, for 3.49!).

Usually, I order pick up or just walk in and place my order.  The staff have always been polite and friendly. But due to my not eating in, I am not able to accurately review the restaurant's atmosphere.

PS - On my next visit, I plan to try their side salad - yes, it's from their Sides portion of their menu.
It is $4.95 and includes romaine lettuce, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, provolone cheese, and your choice of dressing.
Sounds tasty and healthy - just what I'm looking for.“

“These subs are good again. They went through a phase where the quality fell short of my expectations but tried it again last week and it was delish. Highly recommend eating in vs taking home - a hot sub like these should be eaten right away.“
