• Living in pretty much the heart of Kingstowne, and eating way more than I should, I'm familiar with the quick eateries around here. Firehouse is one of my "go-to's." I've never had a bad sandwich from this shop. – Eric B., Yelp
• They steam the meat in steamer baskets, which makes it juicy and moist. The bread is toasted. A sub from here is just a lovely, fresh sub that you want to devour and will leave you staring at the empty paper wrapping, longing for more. – Dachary C., Yelp
