Back home in Michigan we have a little spot called Captain Nemo's. They dont have anything too crazy, but everything is simply the best. It is my only regret of moving from Michigan. Their Double(16in) Steak and cheese is unparalleled in quality. I sometimes make the 6 hour round trip in the Cobra several times a summer just to grab a sub or two. I would wager $100 and the cost of your meal, you will not eat a better sandwich.
Firehouse Subs?
- Thread starter big reg
- Start date
Firehouse has one of the BEST meatball sandwiches...get extra mozzarella. It's the bomb diggity.
Love me a meatball, or brisket sandwich. Don't forget the cherry limeade. I like to stop at them when I can.
We got a firehouse subs near me not too long ago. Maybe a year. Only been once, but it was very good. Way better than subway and quiznos. We don't have many sandwich shops near me other than subways so anytime something else comes along is a blessing lol. My top 3 are firehouse, sub-machine, and jersey mikes.
I also like how some purchases at firehouse go towards funding for new equipment and stuff for fire fighters.

Hook N Ladder is the shit! Though as far as chains go, I prefer Penn Station. Subs and boardwalk style fries are bangin.
Nothing is better than a good ole hoagie from the old country in PA. Miss those northern sub shops.

Jimmy Johns is horrible, subway is better than them. Firehouse is OK, as said though, you have to eat the sandwich immediately because it'll get soggy buy the time you get home(made this mistake my first time eating there).
Can't really think of a great sub place here in Little Rock, if anyone local has some suggestions I'd be open to trying a new place.

Wow, I honestly thought Firehouse was just a local business. It was actually started in the city I live in and I agree, way better than Subway/Quiznos. I usually get the Engineer or the Hero with some chips, freestyle coke machine. But like others said, best to eat it there unless you like soggy subs
Firehouse subs is fantastic for a chain sub joint. Here in VA there are no good local sub shops really like I grew up around in NJ. My favorite sub is the Cheddar and Beef Brisket. The Meatball sub is excellent as well. I recently went into a new Wich-Which here and it was pretty good too. I would also agree with others that Jimmy Johns is no better than Subway. JJ's are exploding around here and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
Cheap and fast with an emphasis on fast. Whenever I hit them up, I'm in and out in under a minute.
The subs are great. Meats kill the quality of subway
definitely think the meatball sandwhich here is the best around
Smoked brisket is my favorite food group, so that's what I always get at Firehouse (with no mayo and with sauce on the side... otherwise they drown it). It's not the greatest value for what you get, and it's certainly not my first choice, but I definitely have no problem eating their stuff. It's the only sub shop I've been to that I don't complain about going to.
We tried them once, ordered to go, got home and was soggy. Sucked IMO. Figured it was because they steam the subs. Never been back.
I love FireHouse and I'll admit I don't think their hot subs would be very good to go.
Hmm, a friend just suggested which-wich to me yesterday! We have one here in KC apparently.
We had a Lenny's that unfortunately closed down. I loved that pepper relish. One of the best sub shops I've been to. Too bad it went under
They deliver. Only time I ever use them is when I absolutely cannot get anything else to eat cause I'm stuck somewhere near them, and most of the time, I'll still opt for pizza for JJ.
I tried Lenny's once. It wasn't bad, but since there are like 4 or 5 sub shops closer to where I am that taste as good or better, I don't go out of my way for it. I haven't tried this relish though, so I may give it another go.
Potbelly's is awesome and great prices
Hook & Ladder ftw. Their salads are also always fresh tasting.
