When you’re ordering from Firehouse Subs, your first thought might be about the hearty subs. But there’s one side dish that quietly wins hearts—the Five Cheese Mac & Cheese. This isn’t just a filler; it’s a rich, creamy, and flavorful experience that brings comfort in every bite. Made with a masterful blend of five cheeses, this mac & cheese is loved by kids, adults, and cheese fanatics alike.
Whether you’re adding it to a combo meal or enjoying it solo, it’s a choice that satisfies.
Unlike basic mac and cheese dishes, Firehouse takes things to the next level with a five-cheese blend that creates deep, bold flavor and a smooth, velvety texture.
Here’s what you’ll find in every bite:
Cheddar: Sharp and tangy
Monterey Jack: Smooth and creamy
Parmesan & Romano: Nutty, savory notes
American Cheese: Classic melt and comfort
The macaroni is cooked just right—tender without being mushy—and everything is oven-baked for a slightly golden finish. It’s creamy, cheesy, and everything you crave in comfort food.
Whether you’re customizing a combo or picking your sides, the Five Cheese Mac & Cheese is always a smart choice. It’s perfect for:
Sub combos
Family meals
Solo snacking
Kids’ meals
It balances spicy subs like the Cajun Chicken and complements milder options like the Turkey Bacon Ranch. It’s also vegetarian-friendly, making it a go-to for non-meat eaters.
This cheesy side appeals to many:
Cheese lovers craving bold, creamy flavors
Picky eaters, especially kids, who prefer familiar tastes
Busy lunch-goers who want a quick comfort fix
Vegetarians looking for hearty sides
Even if you’re not a mac & cheese person, this version might change your mind.
