The Firehouse Subs gluten-free menu includes a Schar gluten-free roll, so guests can enjoy popular hot subs like the Hook & Ladder or Beef & Cheddar Brisket without wheat. If you prefer no bread, you can choose a Sub-in-a-Tub, which serves any sub over a fresh chopped salad.

The menu also includes naturally gluten-free sides such as Firehouse Chili and coleslaw. Team members can change gloves and use separate prep steps when asked, but Firehouse Subs notes that cross-contact is still possible because all food is prepared in shared kitchens.

FAQs
1. What gluten-free bread does Firehouse Subs use?
Firehouse Subs offers a Schar gluten-free ciabatta roll. It does not contain wheat or milk and can replace the bread on any medium sub. There is usually an extra charge, which may range from about $2.00 to $5.30, depending on the location.
2. Is Firehouse Chili gluten-free?
Yes, Firehouse Chili is gluten-free. It is made with ground beef, kidney beans, tomatoes, and onions. Just remember to ask for it without crackers, as crackers are often served on the side.
3. Which items should gluten-sensitive guests avoid?
Even with gluten-free bread, it’s best to avoid these items:
- Meatballs – They contain wheat-based breadcrumbs.
- French fries – The seasoning may include wheat, and they are cooked in shared oil.
- Side salads – Skip croutons and dressings like balsamic vinaigrette that may contain gluten.
- Cookies and brownies – All current desserts contain wheat.
4. What is a “Sub-in-a-Tub”?
A Sub-in-a-Tub is a bread-free option. Any sub can be served as a salad with meats, cheese, and toppings placed over fresh romaine lettuce instead of a roll.
5. How does Firehouse Subs reduce cross-contact?
Firehouse Subs prepares food in shared kitchens, but they take steps to help reduce risk:
- Tell the staff if you have a gluten allergy or Celiac disease so they can change gloves and use a clean prep area.
- Toasting – Many locations do not toast gluten-free bread in the main toaster and may serve it untoasted or prepare it separately to avoid crumbs.
