After a long absence from the Firehouse Subs menu, a fan-favorite is coming back! Firehouse Subs is bringing back a fan favorite favorite after an 8 year absence. The King’s Hawaiian Pork & Slaw Sandwich is returning due to popular demand. It’s only available for a limited time at participating locations according to EatThis,NotThat!. The sandwich consists of slow-smoked pulled pork, melted pepper jack cheese, tangy slaw, sweet mustard sauce, and mayo on a toasted King’s Hawaiian bun.

Firehouse Subs will also be donating a portion of the sandwich’s sales to the Hawaii Disaster Fund. The Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation will help provide “lifesaving equipment and resources to first responders and those affected by the devastating wildfires in Lahaina and Maui this summer” per a press release. Yosef Hojchman, Chief Marketing Officer for Firehouse Subs said “We’re thrilled to deliver a sandwich they’ve been asking for while also giving back to those impacted in the Hawaii wildfires, because we know our guests share our passion for supporting local communities.”

Social media lit up with the announcement of the sandwich’s return with one Instagrammer saying “Absolutely the BEST SANDWICH EVER!!” and another adding “8 years has been TOO LONG.” The chain has also introduced a new Tropical Cherry Lime-Aid in original, sparkling, zero sugar, and sparkling zero sugar varieties as well as bringing back its popular Pepperoni Meatball Sub and new Smokin' Triple Stack Sub earlier this year.
