    I honestly haven't heard of Brown Bag until I started working at a non profit near by. It's becoming one of my favorites for their salads and wide variety of sandwich choices. Pricing is a little high, but I do think the quality is worth it. My go to meals are: Salads with Buffalo Chicken, Feta, Lettuce, Onions, Pickle, Cucumber and Balsamic Vinegar. Super yummy. OR Sandwich: Jalapeno Ched Bun, With Ham, Feta, lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo and mustard. It's a wonderful combo. The chocolate chip cookies are absolutely delicious too. They come warm and VERY Chocolatey! Rice Crispy is good too! :)

    The sign is no exaggeration.

    Errrr merrr Gerrrd! By far, one of The Best places in Houston, if you're in the mood for a sandwich and I don't mean just any 'ol sandwich but a sandwich made the way you want, w love and flavor, this is your spot! This most current event, I had the following; The jalapeño cheddar bun is unreal Buffalo Chicken Bacon- crispy and perfect Plus the works; lettuce, tomato, deli mustard, mayo, pepper Bag of chips And the most important piece of the meal, get a chocolate chunk cookie, wow. Just the perfect way to top off your meal, it's an incredibly made cookie, they should market this bad boy! Thank you Brown Bag Deli for your care and passion in making great sandwiches! They're the best! Can't wait to stop again.

    That's not my bag

    Not as brightly coloured as the Pink Pouch Deli or the Turqouise Tote Deli. I always thought these sandwiches were overrated but I think this location is actually not bad. I'll definitely be coming back again to see if they might go up to five or down to 2 or 3, but service was nice and Barbi's sister enjoyed the turkey sandwich, and I enjoyed the half that I got. I don't really like turkey sandwiches so what I need to do is I need to try one of the sandwiches that I actually might like and see how good it really is.

    Literally only drinks and chips...

    Before I rant about my experience, I did notice that the latest review was posted was roughly 4 months ago... Let's start with the positives: -very convenient to my work place -very clean restrooms -indoor/outdoor seating...I appreciated that they offered outdoor seating and the tables are made of wood while the chairs are metal. It's only two tables but I love that there's an option and it was maintained and kept clean. The tables were not dirty, or rickety, or uneven. Not sure if COVID-19 affected the number of employees, and loss of staff maybe?...but during a bustling lunch hour, it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to get a sandwich. My sister came to have lunch with me, and we waited over thirty minutes to get our sandwiches. We waited, and waited...felt like forever, and for a person who eats slow, this was incredibly frustrating because now I had to rush and scarf down half my sandwich! While they showed that they were hustling, there just weren't enough team members in the back to handle the amount of food orders they received during the lunch hour. I mean their back counter was covered in brown paper bags yet to be fulfilled. Also a bit unorganized. My sister ordered both our sandwiches under her name, because she paid for both, and when my sandwich came out, her name was not written on the bag, only a number. While that number may be listed on a receipt, as a customer, idk what that number means. I was expecting my sisters name to be written on BOTH bags since she purchased them. I checked the bag and knew what I ordered, but someone could have easily taken my order thinking it was theirs. Customer service wasn't great either. Overall, the experience was meh. I ordered the ham sandwich and I forgot what my sister ordered. They are generous with the meat and portions but I thought overall lacked in flavor.

    I loved this place I ordered today for my lunch but saw this while I was eating my lunch a fly!!

    Salad with added avocado!

    I discovered this place while on business in Houston and my was it good. I ended up going back 3 times and getting three different things. Every time - same great service, same great food. One of the times it was very busy ( lunch rush) and I still got my meal in about 5-7 minutes. All the personnel is friendly and eager to help. Great place! I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

    This is my favorite lunch spot. I try not to eat out for lunch as much as possible but if I do this is likely where I'm going. The sandwiches are always packed and delicious. I've literally gotten the same thing every time I've came and it's always been good. The bottled root beer here and the BBQ chips have me fans of the brands they use in themselves. O and great customer service.

    If your looking for a higher quality yummy sandwich shop this is the place for you. It's a customizable sandwich shop that has pretty much anything you could want. One warning though the pricing is a little high about $8.00 for just a sandwich. To be fair that could be a normal price for that area and as a tourist I could just be wrong. I got a turkey on rye with all my favorite sandwich fixings and it was good. The lettuce was quality lettuce and not some shredded lettuce stuff. You can taste that the freshness is there and I love that. I'm definitely a fan and next time I'm in the area I will be back.

As always, love the broadway decor and music- plus the tables and chairs set the nostalgia. The prices are exactly what you would expect in the Galleria area so don't think this is a quick cheap deli! Quality rules!

The parking was a bit of a challenge, but it was easy enough because it was a calm Tuesday morning. To get from the parking area to the store, you just take the elevator one level down, and then you're right inside. This place is surprisingly big, filled with all kinds of snacks, cookies, and coffee. The highlight for me was their shawarma breakfast wrap. It was top-notch and exactly what I needed. You choose between whole wheat or white pita, and it's filled with scrambled eggs, your choice of fresh or sautéed spinach, and they add potatoes as well. Then they top it with shawarma chicken, tomato, and a delicious sauce. For $8.5 it was worth every bite. Hands down, a five out of five. I also tried their coffee, which was just a standard brew sitting in ice for hours and nothing special. At $2.50, it was fine, but nothing to write home about. The real stars were the cookies. I got a coconut pecan cookie and an almond crunch cookie, and both were absolutely delicious. I didn't have time to explore the whole store, but there was a great selection of fresh produce, chocolates, and all sorts of small treats. Overall, the staff were really friendly, and the entire visit was smooth. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. Five out of five stars!

I'm adjusting my review to reflect Veronica's willingness to turn this experience into an opportunity. We were looking forward to trying this restaurant while staying at a hotel in Houston for medical treatments. We had it delivered to our hotel and sadly it wasn't the best experience. When we got our order to the room we were missing one side that we ordered. We got Mac n cheese, green beans and potato salad with a brisket/smoked chicken combo and a brisket/ribs. I was shocked to see two pieces of brisket and a chicken breast for $28. Maybe it was an off night but the quality just wasn't there. All the food was cold (our fault bc we ordered it for delivery) and was lacking flavor. Overall, we'd rate it like this: Brisket 3/5 Chicken 2/5 Mac n cheese 1.5/5 Green beans 3/5 Ribs 3/5 Potato salad 2/5 Maybe they were having a bad night but I wish our experience was better.
