Firehouse Subs Vegetarian Menu

The Firehouse Subs Vegetarian Menu centers around the popular Veggie Sub, made with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and bell peppers. This hot sandwich includes melted provolone, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheeses, then finishes with Italian dressing and fresh vegetables. For a lighter option, the Firehouse Salad offers a meat-free choice with romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes, plus your choice of dressing.

Vegetarian sides include Five Cheese Mac & Cheese, a side salad, assorted chips, and desserts. However, strict vegetarians should check ingredients like mushroom au jus or Worcestershire sauce, as they may contain animal-based ingredients.

1. The Signature “Veggie” Sub

This is the primary meatless option. It is a hot sub where the vegetables are steamed to bring out their flavor.

• Ingredients: Sautéed bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, and sautéed onions, topped with three cheeses (Provolone, Cheddar, and Monterey Jack).
• Fully Involved: It is served with mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, deli mustard, and a pickle spear on the side.
• Important Note: Some locations sauté their mushrooms in a broth that contains Worcestershire sauce (which has anchovies). If you are a strict vegetarian, it is best to ask for your Veggie sub without mushrooms or ask for raw mushrooms instead.

2. Salads (Meatless Options)

Any of their salads can be ordered without meat.

• Firehouse Salad (No Meat): A chopped salad with romaine, tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, and mozzarella cheese.
• Customization: You can add any of the sandwich toppings to your salad, such as jalapeños, banana peppers, or olives.

3. Sides & Soups

• Broccoli Cheese Soup: A creamy vegetarian-friendly soup (check daily availability as it rotates).
• Mac & Cheese: A standard creamy macaroni and cheese.
• Coleslaw: A classic vinegar and mayo-based side.
• Chips: They carry a wide variety of Miss Vickie’s and Lay’s chips.

4. Vegetarian Menu Hacks

Because Firehouse allows for total customization, you can build your own meatless creation:

• The “Cheesy” Meatball: Order a Meatball Sub, but substitute the meatballs for extra cheese and double the marinara sauce. It tastes like a toasted mozzarella and tomato panini.
• The Veggie New York Steamer: Ask for the New York Steamer setup (Italian dressing and mayo) but with sautéed veggies and extra cheese instead of corned beef and pastrami.
• The Grilled Cheese: While not on the adult menu, you can always order a Kids’ Grilled Cheese or ask for a “Triple Cheese” sub on the medium or large bread.
