Speaking of hot sauce, one of my only gripes with Chipotle is their weak hot sauce. Tabasco is a weak choice for the food they sell. The chipotle Tabasco is even worse. Get some Cholula in there like the inferior cousin qdoba does, and then we're talking. Tapatio would also be an improvement.

perhaps this is why they have a selection of around a dozen sauces with various heat ratings available? (addressing the bland comment, not the expensive comment).

I will say I normally hate tobasco but I do like the chipotle flavored one, my favorite of the bunch

I was shown one bottle of dark brown goo that probably didn't even make it onto my sub. Meats and bread were boring. Over $10 for a footlong too.

Every time I go to A&W and get multiple double buddy burgers (w/cheese), I wonder why I don't do it more often. Just excellent all around and fair value at ~$3ea compared to other options around here. I could eat handfuls of those caramelized onions they put on there and I don't even really like onions.

A nobody submitted a content-less post. Firehouse occupies the space where in developed markets the local best far outshines it but it is also vastly superior to the standard chain alternatives. It is priced notably higher than those chains but comparable to the local best, this leads to the bad and expensive sentiment that sells firehouse way short. I'd never eat at firehouse at home but would seek it out on the road.

Tried the Diablo sauce on its own heat but not much flavor. Just tried it mixed with fire sauce on a taco and I thought it was pretty tasty!

I haven't had Firehouse in awhile because of where I live but when I had it two years ago it was great, best sub chain sandwich I ever had.

Is Firehouse better than D'Angelos?

Geez, I always thought Chipotle was expensive. Cafe Rio is a couple bucks more!

$8 chicken burritos better be good.

Had the Popeyes $5 bigbox for lunch today. Great value for FF. Had 3 strips, red beans & rice, mashed potatoes, and biscuit. Also added a drink for a $1

If you don't want strips. You can get 2 piece white or dark.

I just dont understand all the firehouse love itt. They make an average sandwich at best. Until they start actually cooking the meat and not steaming/microwaving it so it comes out a soggy blob no thank you.

I've tried multiple sandwich's and am always left wondering why the hell did i choose firehouse again lol? Granted it is like 2 blocks from my house so if i want an average sandwich i go there, i would rate it at like 1 notch above subway. And i like subway but its nothing i would rave about, as i know going in im getting a cheap average sub.
