Firehouse Subs

Had a sub for the first time… I am a severe celiac with allergy to xanthan gum so I don’t usually eat at these types of establishments but it was the end of my vacation so I said screw it. The man informed me that there could be cross contamination and they use the same knife to cut my sub as the regular sub and I asked if he could please not do that, which he obliged. I enjoyed every bite seeing may be the first and last time but to my surprise I did not get ill. Might have been a fluke but willing to try again 👍🏼

Always great! I always tell them I have a gluten allergy and I have never gotten sick. Always get your mayo on the side, this is what one worker told me. The gf bread is really good.

I've had good luck at Firehouse ordering a GF turkey bacon ranch sub. They ask if I have an allergy and change their gloves.

I visited this location today and the person who waited on me began preparing my sub on a bread crumb covered cutting board and used the same knife he had used for regular bread and then put the gf bun in the toaster right on the shared grate. When I said something to him, he had no idea about protocol and another worker informed me that the owner told them they don’t have to do anything special anymore for GF orders. They kindly refunded my money, but I won’t go back. Definitely use caution if you order from here.

They have gf buns(Shar) which were good toasted. No sides except chips but great place to stop for a quick bite while traveling

When they have the GF bun it is a great option for something fast. If you ask they will put foil on the toaster and change gloves etc. they mark the GF items too.

• Good for dairy-free

Gluten free bread was delicious! So fluffy and tasted “normal” instead of dense and chemically. It was a bit smaller than the other “medium” subs in the order but I didn’t care because it was the closest to real bread I’ve found in a while. I didn’t watch them make it so I don’t fully know about cross contamination but I did get mustard and mayo packets on the side instead of it being included and my sub was wrapped in foil separately and differently than the rest of the order.
