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! :)

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!!

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.

The restaurant was busy, but it was not full…read more When we arrived, the host looked around as they led us inside, appearing unsure where to seat us. We were ultimately shown to a table directly in front of the kitchen. As we sat there, I gradually began to notice some troubling things. Another Asian group was seated at a table next to one of the kitchen entrances. Later, when they finished their meal and left, another Asian family was seated at the same table. In addition, a Black family was seated next to another kitchen exit. A woman in that group asked to be moved to a different table. The food itself was very good, and the server who took care of us was pleasant and kind. My concern was specifically with the way the host assigned tables. Seeing this seating pattern repeated even though other tables were available made me strongly feel that race was influencing the seating decisions. I found the experience very upsetting. Of course, it is up to the restaurant to decide how it will assign tables in the future. I would be glad if this experience prompted the restaurant to recognize the issue and make changes. On the other hand, if nothing changes, I will consider this to be part of the restaurant's character. I am leaving this review to share what I personally saw and experienced.

The very best. Our spot in town. Ziggy's the man!!!…read more All good. Our usual is chopped liver, belly lox & bagels, kreplach, split pea soup, pastrami/corned beef Dagwood, and a black & white. Gotta have the pickles. We thank K&Z's team for hitting the mark EVERYTIME.

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

My niece and I checked out Phoenicia's for lunch, which was surprisingly delicious…read more My niece has simplistic tastes, so she opted for the chicken burger, which I tried of course. 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.

They offered an assortment of goods and items that are great for gifts and for your own home. I can always find something of interest in the store. I also love that they tend to carry items that are a little more boutique and local which makes it fun to browse. A lot of people visit for the barbecue. If I recall, when they first were serving BBQ it was a smaller, more limited time and they've since extended those hours. When visiting there is plenty of street parking in the area. They have expanded the seating inside since when they first opened which is nice for those not looking to takeaway food. Food & Drink - 4.25* The counter for ordering is in the back. I definitely recommend getting an assortment or a plate. Sausage and brisket are both solid. The sides are good too. I did notice the quality maybe dipped a little as the hours expanded, but it's still a very good option to some of the nearby establishments down the road or over in the North Main area that tend to have giant queues. When I was working downtown we'd swing over here quickly for a lunch. Feel free to grab anything to drink from the coolers as well if it catches your interest. Service - 5* Solid. We've spoken directly with the owners when visiting and it's evident they care deeply about their store, their customers, and the community. Definitely support your local businesses!! Cost - 4.5* Always subjective. I think for what they offer, how clean and well organized the shop is, it shows. They keep prices approachable. Overall - 4.5* Personally, I think it's a great balance of quality, convenience, and an assortment of goods that make it interesting. If you're in the area or live nearby, walk on over and check it out.

I'd definitely come back to Maine-ly Sandwiches! They're serving some of the best lobster rolls…read moreI've had in the city. I've seen some reviews complain about the pricing, but honestly, I thought it was reasonable for the fresh-tasting lobster and the quality of the food. The lobster roll was definitely the highlight for me, and I'll be coming back for it. The fish and chips were good as well, although I wasn't too impressed with the mac and cheese, even after adding lobster to it.
