    I was excited for them to open a Brown Bag Deli on Shepherd! The service was great here and the restaurant was well maintained. As with all of the brown bag delis, the food is great. The sandwiches certainly aren't the flashiest or most exotic but they are done well at a reasonable price.

    I just visited Brown Bag Deli for the first time today and had to run to make a review. I was in the mood for something healthy and this came up as a suggestion. When you walk in you grab a clipboard and fill out your order on the brown bag. They have multiple bread options as well as wrap options if you are carb conscious. I opted for the lettuce wrap with turkey, ham, bacon, and avocado. You can select to have the proteins hot or cold. I chose to have them hot! The wraps were super delicious and everything tasted super fresh. My friend got a sandwich and let me try it because she was blown away by the white bread. It had a slight sweetness to it and was so delicious. Maybe I was jealous I didn't get bread....... Her and I split a chocolate chip cookie which was perfectly soft and extra chocolatey. The place was clean and the service was friendly. You have gained a new lunch regular!

    LOVED this sandwich. The white bread was so fresh, a hint of sweetness in it and really paired well with the turkey, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno jack, mayo & cucumber combination. We also added olive oil + S&P. Service was great & loved that they greeted everyone when walking in and out. Inside was cute, you fill out your sandwich preferences on the bag with a marker to give to the cashier for them to make the sandwich. Will definitely be back!

    Lunch!

    I really like Brown Bag Deli. Been having htem for a good bit now and they never let me down. Bread, meats, veggies & condiments are always fresh. They're not stingy with the portions either. My most recent orders have been via delivery service for my office. Brown Bag is one of the very few that get it right! Meaning if you enter add oil & vinegar, they add it. If you request cucumbers or olives, you will find it on your sandwich. Yesterday was turkey, ham, provelone, guda, plus pretty much every veggie. I could barely get half the sammy down & only a few bites of the potato salad. Which I might add is tasty too. Had the rest for dinner. I also tried the falafel patty for the 1st time. My coworker orded it with a salad & it was very tasty. Will be giving it a try next time. Prices are fair and from the times I've gone inside it's very clean & service is awesome. Love supporting small businesses like this. So give them a try if you can. Yelp on my friends!

    Fresh and yummy. Super clean with friendly staff members. They have a nice chip selection and the bread is soft and sweet. The music was hip, a cool spot overall.

Servers dressed up and ready to serve ginormous portions of whatever you want for breakfast or lunch. Bring a large appetite. Large size sweet and sour pickles come 1st to table . Fresh squeezed juice as flavorful as ones we had on Amalfi coast. Signature Reuben served open or closed with thousand island dressing and extra sauerkraut was large enough to share for the boys. Their signature chicken soup with a bagel chip was served steamy hot as we like it. Even has the world largest chocolate Eclair filled with bavariancreme and topped with chocolate. This place would be popular in S. Florida and very happy is here for the locals. Looking forward to a return.

You are immediately transported into New York for sure! Along with New York, we got the schmucks attitude from the 2 men playing hosts. It was a non-busy Sunday night and these two wanted to sit my underage son and I at the bar. Really?! They were obnoxious and rude and put us on a wait list when there clearly were tables. However, my waiter and even the kitchen staff made up for that hiccup with their wonderful attitudes and service! 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!

    I went to Phoenicia Specialty foods for the first time ever and realized I have wasted the last 8…read moreyears since I moved to Houston having never been here before, because wow! I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

Perfectly seasoned, crispy exterior. The sweet potato fries were equally delicious. I got the Hill Country salad. Same tender but crispy chicken on a bed of greens with berries. So good. Definitely bookmarked as a return option.

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.
