One thing that gets many food lovers excited is seeing a food truck. The feeling is even different when Firehouse Subs pulls up.
With the Firehouse Subs food truck, you can enjoy the brand’s hot, flavorful subs at the park, office lot, community events, and more. It’s more like your favorite subs coming to you wherever you are.
It’s not just about the convenience. It’s about getting the same quality and taste you’d expect when you walk into any Firehouse Subs outlet.
I’ve put this piece together to show you how the Firehouse Subs food truck works and where to find it.
What Is the Firehouse Subs Food Truck?
The Firehouse Subs food truck is not a stripped-down version of Firehouse. It’s a complete kitchen designed to serve real subs fast.
Firehouse Subs made its food truck unique, ensuring it’s not your typical street vendor setup. It’s different.
They customized the food truck to replicate the same experience you’d get in-store. It has:
- Hot subs made to order
- Toasted bread with melty cheese
- Premium meats and fresh toppings
The truck is handy for all kinds of occasions, from school events to festivals to employee lunches and neighborhood block parties. If they can grill in-store, they can grill on the truck.
What’s Usually On the Food Truck Menu?
The menu on wheels is not as elaborate as the in-store version, but you’ll still be able to get your favorite subs. It comes with all the classics you’d expect to see, including:
- Italian
- Hook & Ladder
- Firehouse Meatball
- Turkey Bacon Ranch
- Steak & Cheese (depending on demand)
Is it only main dishes? Nope. You can also get desserts, drinks, and more. Most trucks offer chips and drinks, along with cookies for dessert.
Sides and Extras
Do you know you can also get sides on the truck? Yes. Firehouse Subs food trucks also offer sides alongside the subs. Some options you will find include:
- Assorted kettle-cooked chips
- Freshly baked cookies
- Bottled sodas and water
You can create a full combo experience at the food truck. It just rolls up instead of sitting in a storefront.
How the Food Truck Menu Compares to In-Store Options
The in-store and food truck menus are not the same. There’s one major difference – the truck has fewer items than the full Firehouse menu.
However, every item you get from the food truck matches the in-store quality. They are all made with the same recipe. No change in quality, flavor, or taste.
You will get the same premium meats, toasted bread, and melted cheese, and the portions will remain the same. All subs are still made fresh for every order. They will start making your sub once you order it.
You might not find all limited-time subs or salads on the truck, but the top combos are almost always available.
There’s also not much difference in the ordering process. It’s also as smooth as the in-store process. Each truck has a digital point-of-sale system where you can easily pay with your credit card.
Another cool thing about the trucks is that wait times are short, even during busy events.
Popular Combos from the Truck
Yes, you can get combo meals from the food truck. Many customers often opt for the classic combo, which consists of a medium sub, chips, and a drink. It’s filling, easy, and fast.
Some popular options include:
- Hook & Ladder Combo
- Italian Combo
- Turkey Bacon Ranch Combo
The price for these combos is the same as that you’d get in-store. The slight variation might be based on location or event fees.
You can also buy multiple subs at once. This option is helpful for feeding a group at a tailgate or office event. Just let the truck team know; they are used to handling big orders.
Where You’ll Usually Find the Firehouse Subs Food Truck
There is no designated location for the Firehouse food truck. It’s a truck, so it moves around based on demand. But here are some popular spots where you will likely find it:
- Office parks and campuses
- Outdoor festivals and fairs
- College events and fundraisers
- High school sports nights
- City markets or church functions
The truck also does weekly lunch stops in some places.
