Closed for Lunch - Very Disrespectful
I showed up at 1: 30 PM, expecting to get a sandwich, only to find that the restaurant was closed. I drove all the way here, and it was very disrespectful to confuse customers like this.

Deli Closed During Lunchtime?
I arrived at 12: 10 PM and was told the deli was closed, despite the sign indicating they are open until 2 PM. It's quite perplexing for a deli to close during lunch hours.

Foreign object found in sub
I visited this restaurant with my supervisor for lunch. Upon entry, I don’t recall being greeted. The place didn’t look too appeasing, so we decided to just get subs and leave. Unfortunately, my experience worsened when I bit into my sub and found a small foreign object in it.

My Go-To Spot for Homemade Sandwiches
My go-to place for that home made fresh sandwich taste. I've been coming here for 5 years plus and will continue for years to come.

Still Thinking About This Place!
It's been close to a decade since I've last been here, and I still think about this place. I highly recommend the #11!

Underrated Family-Owned Sandwich Gem
I've been a loyal customer here for about 10 years, and I truly believe this is a very underrated sandwich shop. It's a family-owned business that offers a big list of great sandwiches to choose from. My personal favorites are the #15 or the #4, which features turkey, ham, pastrami, and cheese. It's important to note that this is a carry-out only establishment, and parking can be a little challenging. They conveniently accept cash, card, or tap for payment. I highly recommend checking them out – it's a 10/10 experience!

Best Sandwiches and Fresh Bread!
My experience at Brown Bag was fantastic! They serve the best sandwiches around. The service was quick, and they offer great choices. I was especially impressed with the fresh made bread – hands down the best!

Amazing First Experience!
My first time trying this restaurant was an amazing experience. I was greeted by a very sweet and friendly woman. The bread was my favorite part, and I loved my sandwich a lot. I will definitely be going back 🩷.

Closed Both Times - Unprofessional
I’ve tried to come here twice on different weeks, and unfortunately, they were closed both times. This experience felt very unprofessional.
