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.

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.

Here's a polished Google review version that keeps it honest but ends strong:…read more Review: I've been an occasional customer since this place first opened. Honestly, in the beginning it was pretty rough, slow service, incorrect orders, and the sandwiches just weren't as good as what I was used to getting in California. That said, I kept coming back every now and then hoping things would improve, and I'm glad I did. My last few visits have been great. The sandwiches have been fresh and really tasty, and the customer service has been solid. I also spoke with Jose, and he mentioned he's been working hard to turn things around, and it definitely shows. Not sure why they don't have more locations yet, but I hope they expand soon!

Now, I thought I could just stop by and grab my order in about five minutes... that was not the case. It took well over 30 minutes. However, I do want to recognize the customer service, especially the gentleman in the red shirt who was running the cash wrap. He was very attentive and made sure orders were moving and getting out to customers. When I followed up on my order (about 20+ minutes in), he let me know there were about 9-10 subs ahead of mine due to a lot of online orders. Once I got my food, I thanked him and let him know next time I'll definitely be ordering online. If you're planning to grab lunch and not dine in, I highly recommend ordering ahead to save time. Now, the food... the sub was 10/10 amazing. I got the Jamaican Red Buffalo Chicken. Highly recommend. The only thing I want to point out is there was a guy working with bell peppers who came to the front line and started handling food for customers. He had on gloves and headphones, but when a customer asked him a question, he used his gloved hand to move his headphones, then went right back to handling food without changing gloves. Other than that, I'll definitely be back!!!!

I toyed with ideas of the most non nutritious food to order because I felt I deserved it. Something comforting. I decided on a Philly cheesesteak and fries. This was my first time ordering from Pappa Geno's, but I have considered it before. I was going to order from Miller's Cafe because I like theirs, but I get much more from Pappa Geno's. I like that their cheesesteaks are traditional footlong size on a soft hoagie. The Pappa Geno's steak and cheese was filled with thinly sliced steak, melted cheese and mayo. I added mushrooms to mine. They wrap it up in foil paper to keep it nice and warm. If you're really hungry, you can eat the whole thing. If not, you can eat half of it and save the other half for later. The meat was seasoned and on the moist side compared to others. I've been to both rival cheesesteak places (Geno's and Pat's) in Philly, and I thought this was a nice alternative for Houston to have. I think I still prefer the thinly sliced steak flavor from Miller's Cafe. The side of fries are crispy with almost a breading on the exterior. Same fries as Piper's Cantina, if you've ever been. I'm not that into breaded fries like these, but it was good and was a large portion. The sandwich itself is on the pricier side but a decent portion. I'd like to try their other Philly cheesesteak options or add hot oil peppers like the Wicked Philly. Pappa Geno's is a great option if you want a more authentic Philly cheesesteak fix.

When I requested a printed copy for my records, I was extremely disappointed to discover they charged the tip based on the total bill amount (including tax!) rather than the subtotal. Taxes and government fees are not part of the goods or services the restaurant provides, so they shouldn't technically be included in the service reward. I enjoyed my meal, but they shouldn't be cheating their customers.

My partner wanted to grab lunch here so we tried for the first time this place. We got a simple sandwich and elote which the staff said it should take 15-20 mins. We waited and waited it past 40+ mins and I went to ask. - First was that they lost our order number and they couldn't find it. - Second the manager began to say our order was taken by someone else and then that my partner grabbed it. 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.
