Just wait until Jimmy Johns and Jersey Mikes get here. Subway will be an afterthought, nevermind Mr Sub that already is. Every time i walk by Mr Sub in Garden City Mall i get sad for their employees.

Haven't tried firehouse yet, and wasn't crazy for Jimmy John's, but if Jersey Mike's ever comes here (they eventually will- growing fast) Subway is dead to me. Every time I cross the border with family or friends, I say I don't care where we eat as long at one stop is Jersey Mike's. So good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey Mikes announced earlier this year that theyve got an agreement to open 300 stores across Canada by 2034 Firehouse is solid but theyll take a huge hit when Jimmy Johns and Jersey Mikes get here.

I've had Jimmy Johns in the States several times and found it to be significantly worse then Subway and Quiznos. It was extremely bland and on par with what you would get from a gas station sandwich. Each time it was like 90% bun and lettuce with a tiny amount of meat and other toppings. I think the sandwiches were also pre-made and they didn't allow for any customization. Unless Firehouse drastically changes what they serve, they won't see any impact at all. I have not tried Jersey Mikes, will check it out if I'm back in the States this summer.

iHeart Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 the menu for jimmy johns, it doesn't look underwhelming but it doesn't look like they're anything that special and looking at Press'd again, well they have Smoothies that's different, but they have a Freshii and a Booster Juice steps away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you had such terrible experiences. Ive had Jimmy Johns quite a few times and found the meat much more fresh and the sandwiches 10 times more flavorful.

I went to at least three locations in three different states and they all look like these photos: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/jimmy-johns-corona This pic below is the most accurate representation of what we had each time. It was extremely bland, reminded me of old Mr Sub. Google searching jimmy john sandwiches you will see many similar to this (many much worse with more lettuce). Now google searching Fire House subs and from the two times I have gone it was a very accurate representation where those sandwiches were comically large with how much they stuff in them. I'll give them a shot when they come here but will go in with low expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that Taste of Ukraine in KP is very good. I had the meat lovers bowl on the left and I was beyond full. My European wife can confirm that the cabbage rolls are legit and among the better ones she's ever had. Next time I'll try the potato pancakes and the borscht soup. bigg jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
