Firehouse Subs

This was one of my favorite places prior to celiac diagnosis, so happy they now have GF bread! The bread is Schar and comes individually packaged, it is considered a medium sized sub. The bread was delicious and very soft. I had the hook and ladder sub with lettuce and tomato (I had them give me packets of Mayo and mustard to avoid cross contamination) and a side salad with ranch. Allergens are noted online through the website.

I had no reaction to the food ALTHOUGH I did catch them adding my bread straight onto the toaster without a liner. As soon as I saw it I explained the concern and he got another bread and placed it on foil to go through the toaster. I made sure to remind them to use a clean knife, clean gloves, and keep my sub separate and lined on paper to avoid touching other surfaces. This location has only had gf bread for about a month, so I assume this is partly the issue as they have no protocol in place like Jersey Mike’s does. I would advise anyone to be diligent about instructions and make sure they do it properly, but I will definitely be returning!

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.

— No gluten-free information on the menu

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.
