We had never been to a Firehouse Subs before so we were nervous to try. The employees were super friendly and knowledgeable about cross contact. They were ready and willing to change gloves, get new knives, and even listened when we asked for other precautions as well, etc. We did end up asking for our celiacs' sandwiches not to be put through the toaster out of fear of possible cross contamination though. The 2 celiacs in our family didn't get sick and are very sensitive to cross contamination. They used schar brand for the rolls and it was absolutely delicious. One of us is also dairy free and they were really good with that as well. We're only in town visiting so we are really hoping all Firehouse Subs are this good with gluten free and cross contact.

They have solid allergy protocols (using fresh containers, changing gloves, toasting on foil). The cashier said that all of the toppings are GF, but I played it safe (she didn’t seem 100% certain, and things like meatballs are a red flag). I played it safe and had a turkey sub. It was fine, but not worth the $18 it cost.

Gluten free bun but no measures to prevent cross contamination. No knowledge of which items are gluten free. Bread crumbs all over the place.

Was craving a sandwich and remembered they were in my area, looked at the menu and read a review on here and went for it! The gal at the front was the best, explained all protocols for gluten allergy and wont cut your sandwich to lessen the chance of cross contanimation. Bonus : they have Schar bread ! So i was sold ! I had a tuna sandwich no cheese and some chips! I feel fine and will definately return again.
