Chicken ‘N’ Cheddar Rancher Price And Calories
Firehouse doesn’t publish one national price, and we couldn’t find a confirmed in-store price yet. The number we could check is from delivery: one Postmates listing shows $14.30 for a medium, plus $6.50 to go large, before fees. Delivery menus usually run higher than the counter, so expect to pay less in store.
| Menu Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken ‘N’ Cheddar Rancher (small) | Check your store | 470 |
| Chicken ‘N’ Cheddar Rancher (medium) | $14.30 on delivery | 940 |
| Chicken ‘N’ Cheddar Rancher (large) | $20.80 on delivery | 1,550 |
The 940 calorie medium matches Firehouse’s own menu page. Prices change by location and over time, so check the app or your store’s online menu before you order.
What’s On The Chicken ‘N’ Cheddar Rancher
According to the official Firehouse Subs press release, the sub is built with:
- New premium grilled white meat chicken, cooked for a charred, savory edge
- Crispy bacon
- Melted cheddar cheese
- Herb-forward buttermilk ranch, a new sauce made for Firehouse
- Toasted sub roll
Delivery listings also show it served “Fully Involved” with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onion and mayo, the way most Firehouse subs come. You can drop any of those when you order.
How Does It Taste?
It’s a chicken bacon ranch, done the Firehouse way: hot, toasted and loaded. The ranch is the star. It’s herby and tangy rather than thick and sweet, so it cuts through the bacon and cheddar instead of piling on. If you liked the grilled chicken breast sub but wanted more going on, this is that sub with the volume turned up.
Want a little heat? Add a few dashes of Captain Sorensen’s hot sauce from the table, or swap the cheddar for pepper jack.
When Did It Come Out?
Firehouse launched it on February 23, 2026 as a rewards exclusive, only in the app and online through March 1. From March 2 it went on sale in restaurants and on delivery, just ahead of National Ranch Day on March 10. Unlike most new launches, it’s a permanent menu item, not a limited-time offer.

Both are new chicken subs from 2026, and they’re easy to mix up. The Smokin’ Honey Chicken Melt goes sweet and smoky with honey chipotle, provolone, caramelized onions and peppers. The Rancher goes savory with bacon, cheddar and ranch.

Nutritional Information
Firehouse says a medium Rancher has 49 grams of protein, and its menu lists the medium at 940 calories. A small is 470 and a large is 1,550. The bacon, cheddar and ranch account for a big share of those calories, so asking for light ranch or skipping the mayo is the easiest way to trim it. For the full numbers on every sub, see our firehouse subs nutrition guide.

- Milk from the cheddar and buttermilk ranch
