Don't agree with the hype and high reviews. Firstly, if you don't eat meat, you have seriously very few choices left. Ordered Salmon burger with extra spice. The front desk mentioned the burger comes right off-the-grilled, in other words : No customization! If the burger was cooked and sandwich prepared from scratch, adding extra spice should not be an issue. The salmon burger itself was mediocre...And these many high reviews, I definitely had higher expectations. So very disappointing. One less star for their weird hours. Looks like due to their limited hours, they only get their fans to visit and put (high) review. To me, NOT a place to revisit! read more

Brown Bag was highly recommended to me from a friend, unfortunately we will most likely won't utilize their services again. We take pride in serving quality food to our prospects and clients and were disappointed with Brown Bag. While the delivery was 10 - 15 minutes late, I understand traffic is unpredictable and uncontrollable. The quality of the products and food is another story. I declined the plastic forks as we have silverware on hand, I also declined the paper napkins, the were fast food quality at best. The chafing container was bent and wobbly with only one sterno can when two were needed to heat the entire chafing dish. The chicken and green beans, although room temperature were very good! The "macaroni and cheese" were cold, dry and had no flavor whatsoever. I added milk and water to them along with salt and pepper, they were unacceptable. They delivered rolls that were dry and butter wasn't delivered. Possibly, they were having a bad day, I'm not sure what the issues were, I do know we were not pleased. I e-mail them 3 business days agao ang have not heard from them. read more

Healthy and delicious food. Loved the prices and wide variety of the menu! We loved the fresh salad!!

Great alternative to the fast food options around the area. Quick and fresh and delicious. I got the salmon burger, would definitely recommend. read more

My go-to place for a "healthy" lunch with great service in Cool Springs! Each meal comes with a meat selection and two sides. My favorite part about this place is that you can get soup and salad as your sides! So far, I've tried the grilled chicken, teriyaki chicken and grilled steak entrees. They're all delicious, so you can't go wrong, but my favorite is the delicious marinated steak that's grilled to perfection. They also offer sandwiches, tacos, etc. As for the salads, they offer a chopped salad (my fav with croutons, tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese), the very popular berry salad (I just don't love spinach!), and southwest salad which also sounds amazing. I LOVE their homemade salad dressings. My favorites are the poppyseed with a wonderful kick of acid and the slightly spicy chipotle ranch, which is also great as a dipping sauce! You really can't go wrong! The mashed potatoes are rich, garlicky and full of delicious flavor. Everything they make tastes just like it was made in a modern grandmother's kitchen. And I totally mean that as a compliment! The soup! This has been my go-to on all of the recent cold days. Their chicken tortilla soup is BOMB. Super homemade and filled with delicious vegetables in a rich broth with chicken and topped with tortilla chips. You have to try it! I am so impressed with the service and food here! Stop in around any day around noon and you'll see for yourself! Sometimes it's hard to get a table, so I wouldn't recommend a large group eating here. They also do quite a bit of fantastic catering! Haven't tried it myself yet, but I hear they're a dream to work with! Finally, I haven't had the banana pudding yet, but I've heard rave reviews, so it's next on my list here! Check this place out for a fresh, delicious meal! read more

Was in the area & found this place on Yelp. It was super good. I got the buffalo tacos with the red potatoes & the jalapeño cornbread as sides. All were delicious! Especially the cornbread & potatoes. It was a lot of food too. Would definitely come back if I lived in the area. They were quick to serve the food too. Definitely recommend if you're looking for somewhere to eat! read more

Not only is the food DELICIOUS, the staff is WONDERFUL! I lost my phone and they bent over backwards helping me find it. I will be going back for sure and recommending it to everyone I know. read more

Excellent menu. Corn jalapeños casserole. Is superb. Salmon sandwich no bun. Good choice. 'veggie plate 3 choices were very good. Dine in or carry out. read more

I had seen the Brown Bag location as I passed down Cool Springs Blvd but hadn't had the opportunity to stop by. Wow... so happy I did today! We had an unexpected staff luncheon today and I needed great food for a dozen without much advance notice. They provided us with a great assortment of salads, sauteed vegetables, fruits, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, jalapeno corn casserole, dessert and beverages. Something for everyone to enjoy. We will definitely be regular customers as they made my job easier. Delicious food, convenient location, excellent customer service. Definitely a place you will love. Thank you!

Seriously so delicious! Such great + healthy options! It is also pretty cheap! I got a salad, grilled asparagus, and a grilled chicken sandwich for $9. The staff was also so nice, amazing customer service. I look forward to coming back for my lunch breaks! read more

I ordered Brown Bag catering for my sister's baby shower of 20 people. They usually only do catering orders for a minimum of 50 people on the weekends, but because they had other catering orders they were happy to accommodate my smaller event. Everything I ordered came packaged wonderfully, the food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. I was impressed with their customer service from beginning to end and will use them in the future for any catering I may need. Thanks Brown Bag! read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots! Such good food. I love the mashed potatoes and the berry salad, but this place knows how to make delicious chicken! Always perfect! read more

The food is delicious, healthy and a great price. However, there is absolutely no covid protocol. They do not require customers to wear masks, the tables are on top of each other, no social distancing whatsoever. They do have outdoor seating, which helps. I'm not sure if tables are cleaned between customers. read more

Brown Bag is my new favorite lunch spot in Cool Springs. It's located in the strip mall adjacent to the one that has Chipotle in it, off Cool Springs Blvd. I liken it to a healthier version of a Meat & Three, only it's a Meat & Two! Their mission is delicious, healthy food at reasonable prices. You can get a protein and two sides (or sub one of those sides for a drink or dessert) for $8.50 or $9.50. They're open weekdays for lunch, 11am-2pm. Super smart given that's the Cool Springs busy time! I chose their chicken teriyaki and red skin mashed potatoes. I cleaned my plate! Portions were ample for the price, there are tons of combinations you can chose, and all of the food was well-seasoned and flavorful. Much more economical based on portions than the popular Whole Foods hot bar, and less work since you don't have to haunt the buffet. The other thing I like? From 2-5pm, you can pick up food to take home, specifically trays of protein portions, sides, and more. On a Friday, I had them pack me a tray of 1/2 chicken and 1/2 steak, and ordered some sides like baby spinach salad, grilled asparagus (for my husband), and the mashed potatoes. It felt like a great shortcut to doing some meal prep over the weekend! My husband LOVED the meals, even reheated. It will definitely be a great default lunch for me, given its proximity to the office. read more

My employer recently moved their office down to Cool Springs from Brentwood, and we've been on the lookout for quality lunch spots in the area. In that, Brown Bag doesn't disappoint. The food is tasty, relatively inexpensive, and there are a variety of options available. read more

I love this place. It has healthy options at a good price. I wish they served dinner here or Sundays, but I understand. I have had the salmon burger (very tasty), steak sandwich (also tasty), and chicken. The jalapeno corn is so very good with the asparagus. My favorite healthy place in Cool Springs. Staff is always nice and place looks clean. read more

This is a fantastic place to get a healthy lunch that is simple. I had the grilled chicken, spinach salad, and grilled asparagus. It was delicious and I will definitely be back! Although there are many lunch options in Cool Springs I like their concept of just offering simple, healthy meals at a reasonable price. Excellent job!! Brownies are fantastic too! read more

My company caters Brown Bag about once a month, so I've had their food a few times. Overall a good experience with the food. The food is great and everything I tried was slightly above average. I'll give it a 4/5 because I've had better BBQ read more

I must say... I was pleasantly surprised with Brownbag. Typically, the more "health concious" a place is, the less seasoning they use. Brown Bag doesn't skip a beat when it comes to flavor. Food: I opted for the chicken sandwhich with jalapeno corn casserole and asparagus. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. Brown Bag dresses the sandwhich with provolone, caramelized onion, and horesradish sauce. Jalapeno corn casserole is the move! It actually has some sting to it, which I didnt expect. I could have gone for a bit more asparagus, but it was tasty as well. read more

We had a half hour before they closed, and after called them to make sure it's ok to come on over...so glad we did! The reviews were great and we found out why! Fresh, healthy, home cooking! read more

Love this place! Love that I can text in my order and it's ready in 10 minutes! The steak is amazing. Cooked perfectly and juicy and flavorful. Seriously, they kill it with the flavors. In all their dishes. And I"m a salt girl- I add salt to absolutely everything. Not here though. Big fan of the sauteed veggies, asparagus, and spinach salad. And if you're a mashed potatoes fan, O-M-G creamy deliciousness. Such wonderful people and a wonderful cause I will happily support and get a fantastic meal out of it! read more

From the friendly, helpful staff to the delicious salmon burger, baby spinach salad and pencil asparagus.... this is my hands down favorite lunch spot in franklin ! read more

Very good lunch for about 10 dollars decent amount of good food. Had the chicken on ciabatta bun which was soft and juicy with a nice home made tasting slaw salad. Also tried the corn casserole side not bad no complaints. Would definitely come back but the hours are only 11-2 pm. Extremely odd they must not need the money at dinner. read more

Wow! This place is such a wonderful find. I tried it out because I saw the good Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint! I ordered a sandwich and creamy tomato soup. Both tasted amazing and we're super fresh. I'll definitely be coming back here again. read more

We love this place!! With all the choices in Cool Springs to eat this is always our first pick. It is only open for lunch and gets crowded quick so get there early! The staff is friendly and very accommodating. We have had several things on the menu and everything has been tasty. Try the flank steak sandwich with the spinach salad. You won't be disappointed[! read more

My husband took me to lunch here the other day and I was SO impressed! I got the salmon burger, the spinach salad, and the cornbread. Everything was very fresh and the salad was amazing! I'm not one to rave about spinach but the fruit was fresh, the dressing was sweet, and I ate every bite. The salmon burger had a slaw and teriyaki sauce on it and it was amazing as well. I will definitely head back here for lunch again. It was clean, small inside, but nice staff and amazing food! read more

First time trying this place. Super friendly smiling staff and first rate food. I'll be back for sure. Great salad with fresh fruit and great chicken. The $1 brownie is a must. read more

I got the veggie plate for lunch, so I chose the southwest salad, sautéed vegetables, and corn casserole as my three options. The corn casserole was my favorite!

Always great service and fantastic food! Great for catering and for regular lunch time!

They have the freshest foods for a fast lunch at a reasonable price. Love to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine on a warm afternoon.

Brown Bag is my go to caterer for business events. Very easy to work with and the food is great!

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE!!!! I literally cannot say enough good things about this place! I love it! The food is nutritious, delicious and fresh. Definitely a good alternative to normal lunch fare. I get the same thing every time...the chicken sandwich and the baby spinach salad. The service is excellent! On the downside, they are only open 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. They allow you to text in your order in advance as they do have a lot of "to go" customers. A word of warning - they are very busy during rush times and the dining area is small. The atmosphere is clean and cute, but no frills. There are a few tables outside for dining when the weather is nice. They also offer catering services. read more

This is my new favorite restaurant. They are always friendly and the food is phenomenal. I highly recommend the Buffalo chicken tacos, grilled asparagus and berry slaw. The brownies are also delicious. read more

Elite. No peers. Fresh, healthy, legit. Chicken is so on point - perfectly cooked. Been here 30 times and never let down

I know that my review is not as glowing as most of the others and I'm assuming that I went on an off day and hopefully I will update my review at a later date. At the time that I went, I was just getting over being sick so I was trying to eat a lot of fresh, healthy food to get my body back to 100% health. I ordered the chicken breast, mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. The chicken was crazy dry, like so over cooked that I was dipping it in my mashed potatoes to try to get the chicken down. The mashed potatoes didn't have a lot of flavor but they were creamy. The roasted vegetables were pretty tasty so no complaints there. Service was really friendly and it was obvious that they get to know their regulars, which is really rare and really nice. I'll definitely try this place again since there's so many great reviews. read more

Great healthy option for lunch. Since it was my first time there, I asked the cashier for a recommendation. She said the fish tacos were popular but she personally likes the grilled chicken breast, mashed potatoes, and spinach salad. I took her up on that and wasn't disappointed. The only reason I'm not giving five stars is that the chicken, though flavorful, was extremely dry. read more

The Cool Springs needed a quick food option that wasn't a fatty burrito. This is the best for a healthy quick bite. The teriyaki chicken is delicious. The sides are tasty as well. The staff looked happy to be there. The only "negative" thought was all of the tables need napkins as the rack by the drinks was empty and didn't get filled during my meal. read more

So glad we tried this place! The staff was very friendly. One of the managers (I assume) went above and beyond to make our first visit great. I love the variety of the menu. I can't wait to return to try something new! read more

This place is delicious! I'm from out of town and have been eating hot chicken basically since I arrived. I really needed a break from all the heavy food. This was the perfect place! I asked for a recommendation when I walked in. I ended up getting the grilled chicken, spinach salad, and mashed potatoes. Everything was so fresh and amazing!!!! read more
