“ I came for the chocolate chip cookie. It was delicious! The sandwhich was great and all but the cookies here were absolutely delicious. The staff and the environment were also very welcoming and kind! Ill definitely come here again! ”
“ Great place for a delicious hero sandwich. I saw such great choices for sandwiches. I wanted to try the all. The location dtla doesnt have the greatest parking, busy street and you cant stop in front of the building. Parking garage across the street. Very clean and nice employees makes a big difference. I will definitely go back. ”
“ This location of Firehouse is always amazing. Clean, friendly and accurate orders every single time. I used to work near a different Firehouse in South Florida that I used to skip due to constant poor experiences. This Firehouse in DTLA turned me around because they are consistently excellent and friendly. I take my food to go as I live nearby but the place is truly the cleanest restaurant that I have seen in years and is never dirty. The staff is always friendly and they are fast with the turnaround on your order but that doesnt mean that your order is incorrect. Not at all. I order all of the time from this location and have for nearly 2 years now. Several times a month, sometimes more frequently and of the many, many times that I have ordered, perhaps 3 times there has been something small that isnt correct. I mean perhaps a pickle on the side when it shouldnt be. And I end up eating the persons pickle and they dont get upset because it is on the side. I just wanted to mention it so you know that this is an honest review. I dont get to write reviews like this anymore because quality everywhere has gone downhill. Esp since the pandemic. However, not at this Firehouse. This place is the one restaurant that I dont worry about my order or the quality of the food. It is constantly great and that is why I am writing all of this and not just giving it 5 stars. This place is the one consistent place to eat great food served by a friendly team with quality ingredients. Now I sound like an ad. LOL. Trust me, eat here i get the Italian and my other half gets the Italian and also the Steak Cheese. We love them and the cookies are always great! Oatmeal is the bomb. ”
