If pre-made sandwiches just aren’t doing it for you anymore, a stop at Firehouse Subs will remind you of how good a sandwich can be. Located in Kingstowne Towne Center, this Alexandria favorite has been winning raves for years for its incredible subs, which are packed with freshness. Firehouse is actually a scrappy chain founded in Florida in 1994 that has grown to over 500 locations in the United States. The mission of the restaurant is to produce subs that are a cut above the rest, with generous portions of meat, cheese, and vegetables prepared right in front of you. Some of the best sandwiches include the brisket and cheese, which presents slow-roasted meat in an awesome setting, as well as the Steamer – pastrami, Provolone, Italian dressing, and mayo on wheat. It’s one of the place’s signature sandwiches and it’s very good. Firehouse also boasts a high-tech Coca-Cola “Freestyle” machine that lets you choose from over 125 different beverages and create custom flavors.
