Staff is also very friendly and interacts with us when we come in
10/10 Please come here 🙏“

“Purchased Chicken ranch on white, the bread was homemade, light & very tasty. All ingredients were fresh. The whole sandwich is for a hungry appetite. The potato salad is very yummy, the fresh squeezed lemonade topped off the whole meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is spacious with a gallery of hometown photos. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“The Firehouse Steak & Cheese.. white bread, all the fixins.. hold tha shrooms. extra cheese with some vinegar & oil love... PERFECTION!“

“Fire house subs are fire 🔥“

“My favorite Philly Cheesesteak in K-Town. Tried several different places; Lenny’s still tops the list. Lovell Rd. isn’t convenient or on my regular commute, but if I want a good Philly Cheesesteak, I’ll make the drive out-of-my way.“

“This restaurant is the bomb diggity! The first thing I noticed was not the menu but how clean the restaurant is kept and a 100 Health Score. I have had every variety of chicken salad here and my nephew who is with me loves the place also. I eat here at least twice weekly. The employees here are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. If you like Chicken Salad this is the place you’ll love to come to.“

“First jersey Mike’s experience and I am very pleased. I had the Italian and my husband had the chicken bacon
Ranch and both were very good with fresh veggies. I will definitely be returning. The customer service was great as well“

“Love THEM!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food is delicious and always ready on time😊“

“Great food and service! It’s always a pleasure to eat there.“

“Firehouse offers gourmet hot and cold sandwiches that are well-seasoned, fresh, and satisfying. My favorite is the pizza sub, which perfectly captures the taste of an actual pizza with its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. The quality and authenticity of the flavors make it a standout choice, and I will definitely be returning.“

“Pitiful behavior on your part for refusing to serve our local police officers who protect you as well as the rest of the community. I consider myself a fairly frequent visitor to your establishment, but that will end immediately. No more meals at your deli in the near not long distant future. You ought to be ashamed.“

“I've been to this Firehouse dozens of times and no other place I go has this kind of consistent goodness. Its clean and the subs are always made with care. You can ask for extra mayo without them making your sandwich a soupy mess. They are obviously all trained well.“

“Love this Firehouse Sub location. Just hope the one there building close to me is as nice, clean, and great employees, food, chips, and service!!! #gottahavemyclubonasub“

“Best subs around! Bread is just right and delicious never hard and tough to chew like other sub restaurants. Variety of toppings and app makes it easy to add what you want on the sandwich. The chilli is wonderful as well. Don't want bread they have healthy salads. I'm delighted we have one this close to our home. The crew is always welcoming and dedicated to making the customer feel appreciated. Keep up the good work y'all.“

“I know what you’re thinking: “is this McAlister’s like every other?”
Well, if you’re looking for a nice restaurant with McCormick sea salt grinders and black peppercorn grinders, this is your place. You can also get very good food.
From the child: “McAlister’s deli has a bunch of good stuff, and they play nice music”
There’s nothing like listening to Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” over a steaming bread bowl of chili.
Hidden gem: a small nutcracker can be found if you look hard and high.“

“The staff was amazing, willing to help when my Mac and Cheese was not available on my mobile order. They were quick and apologetic which I appreciate. The food was hot and tasty. My overall experience was a really good one. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“OMG! My husband needed to stop at Guitar Center and we spotted this little gem across the way. The steak in a sack, tamales, pasta salad, and smokehouse potato salad-all delicious! And the lemon cookies, WOW!“

“Eating here now and Jordan is the ONLY employee working which is totally unfair to him. Apparently another coworker called in sick, but not sure why a manager or someone else didn’t come in to help him out. Jordan is handling the large crowd very professionally and really should be paid much more since he is handling all online orders, making sandwiches/salads and running the register!Subway is definitely getting their monies worth with Jordan as he is an exceptional worker… hoping he gets a raise very soon! Food was great!“

“I have worked with Penn Station for years and have always loved their food. Recently we had a tournament in Knoxville and ordered catering for the kids and parents and it was a huge hit. Everyone was excited about GOOD FOOD and the experience was great. The food was perfect, on-time and just as we ordered. Thank you Penn Station!“

“My Fav hands down!!! I love the crew here!!“

“Cheap pre-cooked food, ideal for a quick lunch if what you need is to get some carbs to hold you until dinner. The food it self is ok for the price you pay.There are mainly 2 people running the place, a very polite welcoming and nice middle aged man - I believe Ray him self, always accommodating and caring, and then ugh an angry rude middle aged woman. I have to say whenever she is not there the day seem brighter.She snaps, scoffs and gives these angry looks. What is her issue? Do other people get these treatment from her is it my middle eastern looks and amazing accent that bothers her?I would also suggest to add some fresh greenery to your options, prepackaged salads etc but mainly fix the attitude.“

“This is my favorite subway. Clean, nice, and always treat the customers great.“

“A+. The woman working made our order from the app following all my instructions and even labeled which half did/didn’t have olive and pickles (for my kids). And she patiently helped troubleshoot food options for my youngest. Great service!“

“I stopped by this Evening for a Sandwich. Store was Completely EMPTY! Apparently the Young Man was in the Restroom. But. I thght something was Wrong & Almost called for Help.
Arther was his Name. Sweet Guy. Very Professional. But. He def should Not be Working ALONE! My 5 Stars is for Arther, not the Store, Do Better Subway!“

“Great food ... Great service. Highly recommend.“

“It’s subway, can’t expect no ruth chris kind of experience but i’ve visited this subway for years and every employee i’ve encountered here has been incredibly kind to me. They double check everything when making your sandwich to make sure they don’t mishear or misunderstand what you want on it or how you want it. Again, don’t expect the experience of your life or anything, it is subway, but it’s probably the best subway i’ve been to“

“I wanna give a shout out to Mr Austin, I had to ask for his name. The guy with the white hat on in a professional black polo! This guy right here seem to be the bomb! During a busy rush I am assuming as you guys was line out the door Austin here was making sure everyone was keeping up but not only that he was also seeming like he was teaching. So holding down a busy place and holding everyone down and training is a wow! Not only that but a girl wrong up our order wrong which caused my wife sandwiched to be messed up, but Austin comes over with a great attitude even though it was very busy he comes over with a great attitude even smiling as the girl wasn’t and he addressed us so kindly and fixed everything. Like this dude was amazing that I just had to leave a review for him. You don’t see many employees work so hard, specially under stress as I would be stress as it was so busy! But you never see a person work so hard while maintaining a great attitude. This was my wife and I first experience at a sandwich shop beside subway and this made us feel very welcomed, I mean even when the order was wrong he fixed it that guy is great for the job. Great leadership! Great with customers as we was watching not trying be a stocker! The place is nice and the food was very delicious. I highly recommend the chicken bacon ranch and my wife recommends the turkey sandwich“

“Went in with a family of 8! The lady was super sweet and nice and made us very feel welcome! There were also other customers as well who came in and she acknowledged them as well. We truly appreciate the service here and think she deserves a raise!!“

“I'm giving them a lower food score on the new toasted sandwiches. I wouldn't order it again. Came out more burnt than toasted.

They make great cold sandwiches, and they should stick to it.

Always top notch service.

Still one of our faves.“

“I think her name was Mary, but she is the sweetest thing. A couple of guys too. I think the manager was leaving, couldn't make out his name, but was friendly and upbeat. Everyone seemed upbeat and cheerful. Nice change of pace subway! Keep it up! I'll eat here more.“

“Fresh cut potatoes, fried to the point of brown but not burnt. I either get the philly steak or a wrap. Yummmmmm“

“Great service and great employees. I have been here multiple times and am always pleased with my experience. Jackson, Simba, and Jaden are a few employees that I have noticed do a great job consistently. All the employees work extra hard, but those 3 are the friendliest and most knowledgeable it seems. Will continue to go to this location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great sandwich and great service!“
