• 12/10/25Every experience at The Brown Bag Bistro is top tier! From the friendly and helpful staff going above and beyond for their customers, to the delicious food. I've never had a bad meal here, whether it be a seasonal/new item or a menu staple. My loaded baked potato soup was a hit at a recent Christmas party. Thanks BBB!
