"Firehouse Subs was founded in 1994 by a pair of brothers who really were firefighters. The chain has grown substantially since then, with nearly 1,500 locations today. Known for its firehouse-themed decorations and warm, meat-and-cheese-filled subs that are beefier than average, the chain has carved a respectable niche in the sandwich world. As with any restaurant, the menu has its highs and its lows. For every winner Firehouse produces, there is also a sub that misses the mark,"
"Just hearing the name, Jamaican Jerk Turkey sounds like a sandwich that should be delicious. That is, as long as you're a fan of the smoky, sweet, and savory notes of an island spice mix that usually packs a real punch of heat. Jamaican jerk seasoning is steeped in history and brings with it certain expectations. But when Tasting Table ranked 14 sandwiches from Firehouse, the Jamaican jerk turkey fell to the bottom of the list."
Firehouse Subs began in 1994 by two firefighter brothers and now operates nearly 1,500 locations with beefier, meat-and-cheese-focused subs and firehouse-themed decor. The menu includes standout sandwiches and some that miss the mark. The Jamaican Jerk Turkey promised smoky, sweet, and savory island flavors but delivered little authentic Scotch bonnet heat. An intensely sweet mustard sauce dominated the sandwich, pulling it into an overly sugary, one-note profile that left taste testers unwilling to finish it. The sandwich may suit diners who prefer pronounced sweet-savory mixes, but it disappoints those expecting traditional jerk spice balance.
