Firehouse Subs Steak & Cheese Melt: Price, Calories And Review
The Firehouse Subs Steak & Cheese Melt is the chain’s take on a cheesesteak: flame-seared prime rib, melted provolone, caramelized onions and peppers on a toasted roll. It landed in spring 2026, and it did well enough that Firehouse built a whole melt lineup around it. Here’s what it costs, how many calories it has and whether it’s worth ordering.

Steak & Cheese Melt Price And Calories
Firehouse doesn’t publish a national price. A Mashed price comparison from September 2026 found the medium for $10.39 to $10.79 in central Florida stores. On delivery it costs more: one Postmates listing in Cary, North Carolina shows $13.45 before fees.
| Menu Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Steak & Cheese Melt (small) | Check your store | 520 |
| Steak & Cheese Melt (medium) | $10.39 to $10.79 in store, $13.45 on delivery | 1,040 |
| Steak & Cheese Melt (large) | Check your store | 1,660 |
Calories come from the delivery menu and match the 1,040 Mashed reported for a medium. Prices change by location and over time, so check the app or your store’s online menu before you order.
What’s On The Steak & Cheese Melt
According to Firehouse’s April 2026 press release, it’s built with:
- USDA Choice prime rib, flame-seared
- Melted provolone
- Brown sugar caramelized onions
- Red and green bell peppers
- Firehouse’s top-cut sub roll, toasted
Delivery listings also show mayo on it. You can drop the mayo or add extras when you order.
How Does It Taste?
It’s closer to a Philly cheesesteak than anything else on the Firehouse menu. The prime rib is seared over a flame, the provolone melts into it, and the brown sugar on the onions gives every bite a slightly sweet, caramelized edge. The peppers keep it from getting too heavy.
Mashed compared it with Jersey Mike’s Famous Philly and called Firehouse “the better choice” for value: about the same price, a slightly longer roll and a beefier filling. If you like heat, a few dashes of Captain Sorensen’s hot sauce from the table work well here.
When Did It Come Out?
The Steak & Cheese Melt arrived in spring 2026. Firehouse promoted it nationally on May 6, 2026, when anyone named Mike (or Michael, Miguel, Michelle and a few other variations) could get a free medium with a valid ID.
It caught on. When Firehouse added two more melts in July, its chief marketing officer said, “Guests fell in love with our Steak & Cheese Melt, and that told us they wanted more from this lineup.” Firehouse hasn’t said whether it’s permanent. Some stores list it with the regular hot specialty subs, but we couldn’t find it on every store’s menu, so check yours.
Steak & Cheese Melt vs Smokin’ Honey Steak Melt
The Smokin’ Honey Steak Melt came out on July 6, 2026, alongside the Smokin’ Honey Chicken Melt. It’s the same prime rib, provolone, onions and peppers with a new honey chipotle sauce on top.
| Steak & Cheese Melt | Smokin’ Honey Steak Melt | |
|---|---|---|
| Launched | Spring 2026 | July 6, 2026 |
| Sauce | Mayo | Honey chipotle |
| Protein (medium) | 42 g | 47 g |
| Calories (small / medium / large) | 520 / 1,040 / 1,660 | 490 / 970 / 1,590 |
| Delivery price, medium (Cary, NC) | $13.45 | $13.30 |
Pick the original if you want a classic cheesesteak. Pick the Smokin’ Honey version if you like sweet heat. It’s also slightly lighter and lists more protein. On delivery menus the Smokin’ Honey Steak Melt sits under “Limited Time Offer,” so it may not stick around.
Nutritional Information
Firehouse says a medium Steak & Cheese Melt has 42 grams of protein. The delivery menu lists 520 calories for a small, 1,040 for a medium and 1,660 for a large. That’s a lot more than Jersey Mike’s Famous Philly (about 750 calories), mostly because the Firehouse medium is a bigger sandwich.
Holding the mayo is the easiest way to cut calories without losing what makes the sandwich good. For the full numbers on every sub, see our firehouse subs nutrition guide.
Allergen Information
Based on the ingredients, the Steak & Cheese Melt contains at least:
- Milk from the provolone
- Wheat from the sub roll
- Egg from the mayo
Firehouse hasn’t published a separate allergen sheet for this sub that we could find. Check the firehouse subs allergen menu and ask your store if you have a serious allergy.
