It is made with carved turkey breast, warm stuffing, cranberry sauce and mayo on a toasted white or wheat roll, and you can add a side of turkey gravy for dipping. Limited-time subs are usually priced like other specialty subs of the same size.
Firehouse Subs Sizes Explained
Every specialty sub on the Firehouse Subs menu comes in three sizes. The exact length can vary slightly by bread, but this is a good guide:
| Size | Best for | Typical price difference |
|---|---|---|
| Small | A light lunch or a kids-size appetite | About $3.50 less than a large |
| Medium | A normal lunch for one adult | About $2.50 less than a large |
| Large | Very hungry adults or sharing between two | Full price |
If you are feeding two people, one large sub plus a side is often cheaper than two mediums. If you want to try two different subs, two smalls give you more variety for about the price of one large and a half.
The Firehouse Subs Hot Sauce Bar
One of the things that makes Firehouse different from other sub shops is its hot sauce bar. Every restaurant has a shelf of hot sauces from mild to extremely hot, and you can add as much as you like to your sub at no extra cost. The house sauce, Captain Sorensen’s Datil Pepper Hot Sauce, is made with datil peppers from the St. Augustine area of Florida and is sweet, tangy and only moderately spicy. Bottles are sold in many stores if you want to take some home.
Sample Orders by Budget
| Budget | Sample order | Approximate cost |
|---|---|---|
| About $9 | Medium Firehouse Meatball | About $8.49 |
| About $13 | Medium Hook & Ladder combo with chips and a drink | About $13.28 |
| About $16 | Large Smokehouse Brisket combo | About $17.08 |
| Family of four | 2 large subs, 2 kids meals, chips and drinks | $45 – $55 |
| Office lunch (10 people) | Sub Platter plus a Cookie Platter | About $112 |
Firehouse Subs Compared With Other Sub Chains
Firehouse Subs is usually compared with Jersey Mike’s and Subway. The biggest difference is that Firehouse steams its meats and cheese, so most of its best-known subs are served hot. Jersey Mike’s is famous for freshly sliced cold subs “Mike’s Way” and cheesesteaks grilled to order, while Subway is a build-your-own sandwich chain with lower average prices. Firehouse sits in the middle on price: a medium specialty sub costs a little more than a Subway footlong deal but is similar to a regular sub at Jersey Mike’s. Fans pick Firehouse for big portions, the hot sauce bar and its support for first responders.
Best Items to Try on the Firehouse Subs Menu
- Hook & Ladder – the signature sub and the safest first order.
- Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar Brisket – the best pick if you like BBQ flavors.
- New York Steamer – a hot corned beef and pastrami sub for deli lovers.
- Firehouse Meatball – one of the cheapest hot subs and very filling.
- Firehouse Chili – great with any sub on a cold day.
- Cherry Lime-Aid – the drink most fans recommend.

Because restaurants are independently owned, Firehouse Subs menu prices can vary by a dollar or more between cities. The app always shows the exact price for your chosen location.
Vegetarian, Gluten-Free & Special Diet Options
The Firehouse Subs menu is meat-heavy, but there are still options for special diets. Vegetarians can order the Veggie sub or build a sub with cheese and vegetables only. Any sub can be made as a chopped salad, which removes the bread and is the easiest choice for people avoiding gluten, although Firehouse warns that cross-contact can happen in its kitchens. For lower calories, choose a small sub, skip the mayo and cheese, and pick turkey or ham over brisket, meatballs or salami.
Does the Firehouse Subs menu include breakfast? No — Firehouse restaurants open late morning and serve the same lunch menu all day. If you want a morning meal, a hot Hook & Ladder or a bowl of chili is about as close as it gets.
Is the Firehouse Subs menu the same everywhere? Mostly yes. The core hot specialty subs, chili, sides and drinks are available nationwide, but some locations add regional items, local soups or limited-time subs, and prices are set by each franchise owner. Always check the Firehouse Subs menu in the app for your nearest restaurant before ordering.
Firehouse Subs Nutrition & Allergens
Firehouse publishes full nutrition and allergen details for every sub, size and topping. Calories depend a lot on size and toppings: removing mayo or choosing a small sub can save hundreds of calories. The menu also includes subs under 500 calories. For exact numbers, see the official Firehouse Subs menu and nutrition information.
About Firehouse Subs

Through the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, the brand has given tens of millions of dollars in life-saving equipment to first responders; you can support it by rounding up your order or buying a recycled 5-gallon pickle bucket for a few dollars.
