Firehouse Subs

Pretty good sandwich! I’m visiting from California and stopped here with family recommending it but reviews looking not so good. I’m happy though! I got the club sub. Nom.

We were Passing through Cookeville, and we decided to stop for dinner. Firehouse is a family favorite and it’s normally quick, so we decided to stop here. At 6:00 in the evening, the place was empty, and now I know why. The girl taking our order was nice, but she didn’t get the order right. It took two tries for them to get a kid’s turkey on wheat correct. It came out as a burned ham on wheat at first. I took it back and said just turkey on wheat and please don’t toast. Our other sandwiches already came out burned, so I figured I’d just ask for them to not toast it. So they get it fixed and hand me a burnt turkey on wheat. I demanded them to just hand me a kids turkey on wheat not toasted again. Finally it came out right. Our other sandwiches were burnt, but we didn’t have time to deal with it. We just tried to scrape off as much burn as possible and then ate part of the sandwich. We just left, and we’ll never be back. We come to the area often, and I will avoid this place in the future. You have a bunch of kids working there just standing around and cussing, and they don’t know how to NOT burn bread. Horrible experience.

My boyfriend and I loved Firehouse subs back in stl, so we were thrilled to find one here. We were not disappointed and found the same great quality and taste!!! I love love love the hook and ladder sub! :)

Firehouse Subs in Cookeville opened about a year ago, I’ve been at least two dozen times since then. The food tastes like Quiznos, if Quiznos actually made good food. There’s only about eight subs on the menu, but its more about quality then quanity. Still there should be something for everyone as some of my personal favorites are the Italian, the beef and cheddar, and the meatball.
Firehouse has a nice touch of having hot sauces you can try with your subs, their sorted by hotness on a scale of one to ten. So you don’t have to worry about trying something to spicy. I recommend their house sauce which isn’t to hot, but has a bold flavor.
Each sub comes with a pickle, and chips and a drink are just two dollars more. That’s where this place is worth a visit, their drink machine is one of the new Coke Free Style machines, which has over 150 different drink choices. My favorite is Mellow Yellow Orange. Overall Firehouse isn’t my favorite sub place, (that would be Jimmy Johns) but it sure beats Subway.
