Little kids get a toy fire hat with their combos. The bags are cute, though, and kids' bags even include an exciting game of tic tac toe.įirehouse has nice - and considerably cleaner - décor. Personally, I don't love the idea of sending a bunch of pre-handled bags through the kitchen's food line.
This process is easier than staring up at a big menu board. Which Wich customers order by using brown paper bags and red sharpies, then handing the bags to the cashier. At both Which Wich and Firehouse, you can feed a family of four (two adult and two kid sandwiches) with two drinks for around $25.īoth shops offer a unique atmosphere. There's also an "under 500 calorie" menu, a small salad menu and a combo menu for kids, which includes chips, drink, and dessert.Ĭosts at both are about the same. Anything can be ordered cold, though I was advised against it by the cashier. It features mostly hot subs, like steak and cheese, beef and cheddar brisket, along with specialties like the Firehouse Hero and the New York Steamer. And there's a kids' menu, with classics like grilled cheese and PBJ.įirehouse Subs, with two new Madison locations, offers a slightly smaller variety. There are three bread sizes, selections for hot or cold, and choices to eat your "sandwich" wrapped in lettuce instead of bread or have it mixed in a salad bowl. Once you've chosen meat or veggie, select from a variety of sauces, toppings and spices. If you prefer turkey, there's a club, a Reuben and a few other choices. If you want seafood, for example, there are five types to choose from: tuna, crab salad, sriracha tuna, crab and artichoke, or surf & turf (crab salad with roast beef). It has 10 categories, based roughly on protein type, and numerous subcategories. Which Wich, with three area locations, one in Middleton, one in Sun Prairie, and now one on State Street, offers a particularly diverse menu. But for people interested in mixing it up, and trying a new fast food, both chains stand out in at least two ways. As a matter of flavor, I don't think they improve dramatically on smaller, more local chains like Milio's. Each has much more interesting selections than Subway, for instance. Overall, both Firehouse and Which Wich are above average in their field. Each has hundreds of franchises nationwide. Two new sub sandwich options in the area are Firehouse Subs, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Fla., and Which Wich, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Dallas. But sometimes, that's just not practical.
On the other hand, my sandwich crush causes me to avoid chain sub outlets in favor of restaurants where I can find out more about where my food came from. Sandwiches should have fresh bread - crusty on the outside and fluffy in the middle - and always include a heaping portion of toppings and condiments. Two slices of bread with meat in the middle. I mean it how John Montagu - the 4th Earl of Sandwich and alleged inventor of the form - meant it. By sandwich, I don't mean food wrapped in a tortilla or stuffed into pita bread. The salami, pepperoni and capicola grinder from Which Wich.
