The subs here are not just meals; they are hearty, flavor-packed experiences that warm the soul.

Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch, thanks to the expert toasting of the bread.

Really good sandwich. Are they particularly friendly? Oh heck no. You'll feel like the biggest inconvenience in their day. But whatever. That sandwich was delicious. I went with a basic ham & turkey (can't remember what it was called). Everything tasted fresh and I love that it's warm, but not excessively hot. I'll go back, no question about it.
Nice spacious clean location. Parking available as it's located in a plaza. Service was great and workers were very friendly. Portions are very big and definitely worth it! Fresh ingredients and delicious! Recommend!
Having driven by Firehouse Subs many time, we never had the chance to drop by and try their sandwiches. However, this past weekend, we had the opportunity to visit the San Jose locations and extinguish our hunger with some delicious subs. This location, located in Almaden Ranch in San Jose, was the perfect stop for lunch. Walking in, you see the awesome firehouse decorations with dining areas both inside and outside. One of the coolest decoration is a hand drawn and painted mural done at Firehouse Subs headquarters in Florida that is unique to this location and recognizes some San Jose history. One of the workers was very helpful and kind! Wish we got his name to highlight him. The menu had a nice selection of hot sandwiches with firehouse themed names, along with soups, chili, and salads. It was going to be tricky to pick just 1 sandwich each so we got 4 (small and medium size) subs to share and taste as much as possible along with some chili. The sandwiches came straight out the oven toasted and perfectly crunchy. We really enjoyed the meatballs, especially the Pepperoni Pizza Meatball Sub! Would say though, the small is definitely..small lol
Dived into the world of hearty, loaded subs at Firehouse subs. They certainly don't play around with portions and nothing beats the comfort of a meaty sandwich. First up, the Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket - think tender smoked beef brisket with oozing cheddar, slathered in BBQ sauce. Next, new on the menu, the King's Hawaiian Pork & Slaw - a dreamy mix of slow-smoked pulled pork, melting pepper jack, and a sweet & tangy slaw, all hugged by a toasted King's Hawaiian Bun. The Firehouse Steak & Cheese- A symphony of sautéed steak, gooey provolone, caramelized onions, and peppers, perfected with a spread of mayo and deli mustard. Each sub came with a crunchy dill pickle spear on the side, adding that extra zing. Service was quick and I love that a portion of every sale at Firehouse Subs benefits The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. Its mission is dedicated to providing lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and public safety organizations. Truly, sandwiches that satisfy not just your hunger but your soul!
My son and his wife have a toddler and a newborn, and I always ask if I can take them lunch. They requested Firehouse Subs and gave me their order. They loved their sandwiches and I ordered the mac & cheese, which was very good. I ordered ahead so it would be ready when I got there and it was. The only thing I would recommend is calling because when you order it goes to a site that charges a lot more and I saved almost $20 by not doing that. The inside of the sandwich shop was clean and the staff were friendly. BTW when I was inside getting my order, I saw a meatball with pepperoni sandwich that looked and smelled delicious. So now I must go back!
The food and service were good. The subs were tasty and loaded with meat. Nice theme and environment
