For what its worth to them… I forwarded some of these comments along with my own sub-par feedback to Firehouse Customer Service. I thought they should know, and if they care, maybe they will step it up. I remember the one in Myrtle Beach being really good. Not sure why this one doesnt measure up.

We were looking forward to Firehouse Subs, but our experience was not good. it took a long, long time to get the food. I had the ‘Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket’ and the texture was like eating a sponge. The meat was dry and all packed into the bread. I don’t know how they managed to make the meat like that, but it was gross.

Maybe I went a bit overboard with the bad comment but I am a huge fan of subs and am easily disappointed with sub shops. I think we should expect more for our dollars these days.

Re Firehouse Subs, I wouldn’t go as far as John and call them “bad,” but to me, they’re nothing special. Actually, between the two, I tend to prefer Subway’s offerings. But I don’t go to either sub shop expecting something special. I suppose it’s true that many of us today are OK with unremarkable food when it’s quick, accessible, and inexpensive.

You guys need to go to a good sub place other than Firehouse Sub. I went there a couple of weeks ago and the subs were as bad as Subways. What has happened to us as a society that we have become so used to quick, assembly line, sub par food.

My family owned a few of Italian Sub shops and even though they are more expensive, it show you what you are missing at Subway or Firehouse subs. If you want to check out the difference, go to Nick’s Italian Grocery in Prince Frederick or Waldorf, Gallo’s in North Beach, or Italian Gourmet in Vienna Virginia. Sorry Frederick, the best sub shop we have anywhere near us is Vignola’s downtown and since it was sold a couple of years ago, it went downhill.

J&P New York Pizza has good fried pickles as well, if you haven’t checked them out, I highly recommend it!

How about opening…Dunkin Donuts (with a drive up window)? Arthur Treachers Fish and Chips? Long John Silvers? Carvel? Jack in the Box? Hardees? Chili’s? Maybe a place that serves natural casing hot dogs? Lots of places in CT serve them either deep fried or cooked on the griddle with bacon grease….oh yeah, gotta have bacon on the dog! A real bakery or deli? Butcher shop?

My family and I visited WOW a few weeks ago for an early dinner. I am originally from Biloxi, MS and was so happy to finally see a place open that served food with Cajun influences. Fried pickles are a staple in the deep south, and when I saw them on the menu, I was so excited to try them. They were very good, and I highly recommend them. I know it sounds unusual, but you should give it a try. The wings were very good as well with so many sauces to choose; the Cajun sauce was scrumptious. My husband tried the Gumbo, which was disappointing. I wish they served seafood Gumbo. But, it is hard to compete with New Orleans. I would highly recommend WOW for the wings and Fried Pickles. We will be visiting again soon.
