Gluten-Free at Firehouse Subs

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.

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.

Had a great experience at Firehouse Subs. Staff was knowledgeable about gluten cross contact and explained all their precautions to me. They even knew that the pickles should be avoided. I got the turkey with melted cheese on top and their standard Shar hoagie roll. Delicious!

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.

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.

We did not have the best experience. Me and my brother both have celiac disease and we both ordered a cheese steak on a gf bun . We got our drinks and sat down thinking we were getting our subs . The cashier called us back up and said that they only had one bun and we payed for two . We ended up both getting open faced sandwiches but I wouldn’t return if I had had other options. The food was okay but the experience wasn’t the best . If you are considering going here there is a jersey mikes down the street which has gf buns . No hate to fire house subs this is in no way intended to be rude .

Heard they had a gluten free bun - but when I went they had none. Seems to be a common issue, since another location had the exact same issue.

This particular Firehouse is extremely well trained on gluten-free and allergy food handling. I have eaten here several times with no problem whatsoever.

Can only ever order a salad here. They NEVER have GF bread. They always say they are restocking it but doubt that takes over 6 months. One woman eho works there, who has 1 GF kid and 1 dairy free kid (I can't have dairy either), told me how to order so it would be safe to eat here. Salad, no cheese, and only ask for oil and vinegar. I am GF intolerant and have a dairy allergy. The people they hire at this location mess around a lot and if I was celiac, I would NOT go to this location.

I used to give Firehouse 5-stars but now they do not have the gluten free buns any longer. According to sources online, none of this chain carry the gluten free buns anymore due to a corporate decision. So, we will no longer be eating at their establishment.

I’ve eaten here twice and had a delicious sandwich both times. You can pick from any medium sandwich and they can make it on the gluten free bread. I did have to ask about some dressings but staff was very helpful. The gluten free bread is super soft and yummy.

10/10 on opening day, I LOVE that they opened a location here! Never had a problem with their gluten free bun but other locations have been "out" of the gluten free bun for a long time. This sandwich is literally the highlight of my day!

The staff is wonderful and goes above and beyond to take precautions, but avoiding cross contamination was still impossible. They pull all ingredients from new containers, change gloves, dedicate a person to follow the order through from start to finish, put on aluminum foil through toaster, and have a comprehensive allergy program to extensively research ingredients in store and online. They really did a great job, but fighting an invisible enemy (gluten) at a sandwich shop is near impossible…it’s everywhere. I should have known better…I got glutened for the first time since my diagnosis and it’s bad enough for me to never go back here again because the risk is just too high. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the effort put forth by the company and staff to accommodate allergies and medical issues though.

They do not have GF bread anymore

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE BREAD I'VE EVER TASTED! Better than jersey mikes and the countless other places that serve those hard SYSCO consolation prize buns. It's not crumbly or chalky at all. It was very similar to a cross between white and wheat. So soft. Beyond that, Firehouse has always been amazing for me. I'm Gluten Friendly, so can't comment on potential contamination. The only issue I saw that some items are not offered with a GF bun option online. I suspect it is because the protein may not be GF.

We went there for lunch. We asked for a gluten-free bun. They proceeded to try to cut it on the same cutting board as the regular bread. I asked them if they could put it on a different surface. They got out of a piece of aluminum foil. Then they were going to cut it with the same knife as the regular bread. I asked them if they could get a different knife. He shrugged and said, I guess I can go wash it. They seem to have no idea about gluten-free protocol.

Asked if they had gf, they said «yes, for now.» So it seems the gf bread will be off their menu in the future. I was a bit sceptical as they use the same place to make gf as everything else, but the lady who prepared my food was very careful and told me she had put the dressing on the side, since they couldn’t guarantee that it hadn’t been cross contaminated. The sub was tasty and I didn’t get sick. Not sure I would order from them again though.

Firehouse subs are great. But there’s some things you need to know if you’re celiac:

If you say you have a gluten allergy (it’s what we do, people know what a food allergy is, but don’t always know what celiac is) they will change their gloves and make your gluten free sub on foil. No problem there. But I spoke with a manager after my last visit and learned it’s standard operating procedure for them to put any lettuce that falls off a sub back into the lettuce supply, with any bread crumbs that may be sitting around on the sandwich line as well. So if you are going to eat here as a celiac, know that you HAVE to ask for lettuce from a fresh bag.

The manager also reiterated several times there’s no guarantee that your food will be free of contact with any other allergens, so just be careful here.

They have gluten free rolls that are pretty good in flavor and texture. I watched the person make my sandwich and he told me they have separate utensils, and all the veggie add ons (lettuce, tomatoes, etc) under the main shelf. I did see him reach below to add all on my sandwich. He also said the rolls all come precut as well. He also wore gloves. The tuna was good. I love the side pickle! I just have a difficult time paying 16$ for a sandwich.

Made in a facility with non gluten free foods, however the staff went to great measures to minimise cross contamination. The lettuce was sourced from a new bag to avoid gluten crumbs. Gluten free by ingredient Mayonnaise was provided in a separate pouch. The bread roll was delicious and a medium size filled with their recommendation of Turkey Bacon Ranch. Very tasty meal.

Another Firehouse Subs location that hasn’t had gf rolls for over 2 months and have no idea when they will get some. I brought my own wrap and got corned beef with a side of mustard. It’s frustrating to have to only have half of whats advertised on the menu and still have to pay the full price. The place wasn’t as clean as other locations I’ve visited. Wouldn’t go back
