Unreal Italian! The meats and veggies were both very fresh tasting. All of the sides looked good but I went with the macaroni tuna salad. It was a perfect compliment to the sandwich. Great service and food here!

They do not skip a beat with their food options!

Brown Bag Deli catered our Shaw Night event in Sumter, SC. They were a huge hit with our guests. They served smoked brisket, smoked chicken, baked beans, potato salad, mac n cheese, and delivered top notch service. All their food was freshly prepared and made from scratch. We received so many compliments on each of the food items. They're a small business and deliver an awesome experience whether it be through their food truck or at your choice of venue. Please consider them for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

Location is a little off the beaten path but, by far, has the best deli sandwiches in Columbia and they are LOADED! Highly recommend

Delicious! We are in Columbia for a conference, and just happened to walk into this renovated…read morebuilding with a bunch of little stores. The deli is near the back. The employees were super nice, and gave great recommendations. They have a daily special as well. I got the turkey pesto sandwich, and he recommended adding balsamic vinaigrette. I'm glad he did! It was delicious! It was grilled like a panini, but the lettuce was still crisp! Not sure how they did that but it was very good! I also got a side of pasta salad and the cheese and noodles also had good flavor. If I lived closer I would come more often! If you are in the area it is worth the stop!

Seven of our lunch group went here today. It was about 11:20 or so and they took our orders…read moreindividually and were very quick about it. We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were. On a scale of 10 we would rate it as a 7.3 on the ROMEO scale...Yelp scale we'll give it a 4.0

What a yummy lunch spot! It's located right next to barre3 on Rosewood. I've been wanting to try…read morethis place for a while because of its extensive menu, and it did not disappoint! We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to our table in a timely manner. There is something here for everyone. Tons of choices and the opportunity to make your own creation! I could come back here everyday for a month and try something different each time. I finally settled on the 5th avenue sandwich with roast beef, peppers, and garlic mayo on ciabatta bread. So delicious! The garlic mayo was such a nice touch. My mom got the pesto turkey sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely be back to taste more menu selections!

Wow! I've been in the Columbia area for almost 18 years and all I can say is wish I had found you…read morewhen you first opened. I find myself eating here at least twice a week, trying different sandwiches each time. I haven't been able to find a favorite yet. Every single meal, AWESOME! Today I had an old friend that I worked with for years before he retired. I told him how I love their food. He told me in return about the Chevis, which is a common Native American sir name for our area but it's not on the menu yet. Can you guess what I'm trying next? I really love your everything and I'm still searching for a bestiessss. I am sure now that I will not be able to find one and that is quit alright with me....... ;-) Whiteeagle

Best sandwich in Columbia Metro award?…read more I mean yall. What? I be the MOST dramatic on these reviews sometimes bc lol they just read more fun. I'm. Dead. Ass. If yall don't get down to this bad boy and order you the "Chicken Charleston" during our lord and saviors pride month?! HOMOPHOBIA! I didn't know what to order (they literally have the LARGEST menu) and the fabulous front of house baddie said she loved The Charleston so.. I said you know what? LAYGO. 10/10 This was the best dang sandwich I've had in months. It's basically a chicken Philly but they put they whole foot, knee, thigh, and hootenanny into making that bad boy. AND ITS ACROSS FROM THE HOSPITAL SO I CAN JUST MOSEY ON OVER ANY TIME IM IN THIS CENTRALIZED LOCAYSH?! swear SC just wants me to stay fat and sassy atp. Only thing I disliked was the black olives in the pasta salad, but that's a personal preference situation. (Yall can have mine if you wanna meet up for lunch, tuh!) They also have kids eat free nights too! Clearly I don't have any children (kind of difficult to given the whole.. well, it's pride month yfm? Hahaha) but bring the whole fam. Clean, welcoming, good service and decently quick. Thanks everyone! Fr, this rocked.

The carrot cake was moist, flavorful, and fluffy. The service was outstanding, and the ambiance was inviting. Every time we come to Colombia, I must stop here.
