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!

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.

turkey, bacon sandwich on white bread
Maddy A.

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!

Perfection! The sandwiches are always fresh and delightful to eat. Ambiance is calm, bright and worth the drive for a quick bite and read.

I was excited to have more food options within walking distance. Their food is on the pricier side for sandwiches, but their sourdough is really good. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything tastes fresh. My friends and I would walk over and grab soup and sandwiches with chips. Sometimes I'd dine in and sometimes I'd take it to go. My favorite is their Italian sandwich which comes with a pickle. I'd add a bag of Miss Vickie's jalapeño chips or potato soup. I'm a creature of habit when I find something I like, so I haven't tried other sandwiches though I do like turkey. Maybe next time. Panera still makes a better broccoli and cheese soup. The small chicken Caesar salad is loaded for a small bowl. I appreciate the large chicken pieces and toasted sourdough as croutons. It takes a while till you get your food, but you can order online in advance. People come and go during their work lunch. Service is friendly, and I haven't had any bad experiences. I will definitely be back.

I'm glad we have Ike's Love & Sandwiches all the from San Francisco in Houston and wouldn't mind…read morehaving more locations in town. This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

Located in MKT, plenty of parking spaces all around but it does get crowded during peak time…read more Mendocino provides a variety of sandwiches and salads, incorporating fresh ingredients. You can order at the counter, and they will bring the food to you. It's more of a self-served place. One of my favorite items to get is their Peruvian steak sandwich. Very filling portion, steak is cooked perfectly. The steak is tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce but it's not too spicy. The sandwich also comes with bag of Boulder potato chips. The staff are always friendly here. The space is clean with plenty of tables to sit at. This is a quick and easy spot to grab a bite to eat anytime you're at MKT.

I've tried their meals (although from their other locations) and enjoyed them, so maybe it was just what we ordered or this specific location? Service was quick, though. I ordered the Chimichurri Steak sandwich, which was okay but nothing super memorable in my opinion. My parents ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Summer Peaches salad, which was also just okay. My sister, however, ordered the Lemon Chicken and Farro soup, which was actually pretty yummy and is something I would definitely order for myself. In terms of parking, there's plenty of spots available throughout the MKT area, but you may need to park farther away to snag a spot. Overall, if you're in the mood for a healthier sandwich or salad option and are in the MKT area, this place is worth trying. Maybe I'll come back and try something new.

The first time I sat at the bar for service, Allie was our server and she was beyond amazing. Helpful, explained the menu and specials, and made us feel really comfortable. The second time I came two weeks ago, we just ordered at the front and dined in regular. I ordered a pacific blue tuna melt. The girl with no hair who works in the kitchen has made my sandwich the last few times I've been to this locations I would rate them 0/10. I would honestly never come back to this location if I wasn't a forgiving person. Honestly I wouldn't be back to this location if Allie wouldn't have saved the day. My sandwich came out with little to no tuna on it. It was actually quite surprising for Chewbacca Hut. But the lady who made my sandwich gave me a little smirk before handing me my sandwich, and I knew something was wrong. If I could rate this location on food, and kitchen employees it would be o1 star. But thankfully you have employees like Allie. She saw me taking pictures of my sandwich and in literal disbelief of how little there was on the sandwich she immediately came to ask me if everything was right, she fully agreed the sandwich didn't look right and immediately brought me an extra portion of tuna to add. Without her, I would've completely roasted this entire establishment specifically the kitchen.

They have a decent number of spots, but with how busy the restaurant was, I can see parking being an issue during peak hours. We started with the Chả Giò Tôm Jalapeño Popper and the Crispy Taro Shrimp, and honestly, these were my favorite bites of the entire meal! The jalapeño popper was crispy with a sauce that had a nice kick to it. I just wish there had been a little more sauce! The crispy taro shrimp was exactly as described: a crispy, golden ball of shrimp. Both appetizers were fantastic! For entrées, we ordered the Surf & Turf Bò Né and the Baller Fried Rice. The surf and turf was good, and I enjoyed how tender the beef was. The fried rice was also tasty and came in a HUGE portion, but neither dish was particularly standout compared to the appetizers. Now, the Ube Crème Brûlée was my favorite dessert! It was sooo creamy and luscious, with the perfect coconut flavor complementing the ube. Our waitress was polite and attentive throughout the meal and never made us feel rushed, which I appreciated given how busy they were. My only thought was that they close pretty early for a tavern, at 10 PM.

Switching her words back and forth and not believing what we had said. I asked how did we grab our stuff if I still have the device to notify when our food is ready. - Third she completely stopped talking to us and went to go help at other customers. I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.
