Firehouse Subs debuts chicken and steak melts with honey chipotle sauce

Firehouse Subs builds on its recently introduced Steak and Cheese Melt.

Fast-casual sandwich chain Firehouse Subs is adding two new melts to its menu: the Smokin' Honey Chicken Melt and Smokin' Honey Steak Melt. Both subs join the recently introduced Steak and Cheese Melt as part of the brand's growing melt lineup.

The new sandwiches launch July 6, 2026, and feature a new honey chipotle sauce, combining sweetness, smoke and spice. Each melt is built on provolone, brown sugar caramelized onions and red and green bell peppers, with a choice of sliced white-meat grilled chicken breast or flame-seared USDA Choice prime rib, all stacked on a Firehouse Subs signature top-sliced toasted roll.

"Guests fell in love with our Steak and Cheese Melt, and that told us they wanted more from this lineup," said Carolina Berti, chief marketing officer of Firehouse Subs. "We built the Smokin' Honey Melts around a new chipotle sauce we couldn't stop tasting — smoky, a little sweet, with just a mild kick. And because we're founded by firefighters, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Both subs are delicious, they're here, and we can't wait for guests to try them."
