Firehouse Subs

While this Firehouse Sub location is close to where I work, it’s not a frequent stop on my lunch circuit. The one thing this location has going for it is an enthusiastic, friendly staff that is rarely seen at a fast food outlet. The location is clean and well-maintained, decorated with firefighter memorabilia, some of it customized to Madison. The sandwiches are not anything special. The bread was spongy and did not offer much flavor. It held up well to the marinara sauce in my meatball sub, but that's about it. The under seasoned meatballs lacked any sear – just very bland compared to other meatball subs I’ve tried. The marinara sauce also was a letdown in the flavor department. At a little over $6, the sandwich was fairly valued, considering the size of the portions.
