Reviews for Brown Bag in Reston, VA
This place has gotten worse over the past 2 years. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese, realized after I picked it up that there was... no bacon ($1.50 wasted). I guess they were too busy working on other orders and it slipped through (just kidding, no one is everhere). Whole place gives off big "going out of business soon" vibes. Tell me the pictured sandwich was worth $6 and I'll showyou a bridge for sale. Read more
I have been there twice, both before the pandemic. The quality was OK, the store was clean, and the service was OK. The first... time, for a breakfast, I was the only customer, ordered an omelette, Expensive, more than 8$,(without any beverages ). I wentthere the 2nd time for a lunch, the store was a little bit crowded, but I saw 2 issues this time, high price again for asimple salad ( more than 11$), and low customer service quality, mostly seemed management issue than the employeesissues. Since then, I have decided not go there anymore. Read more
I ordered a Buffalo chicken sandwich on ciabatta, from their standard menu. There was no line, and i could see the care and... attention paid to my order. I ordered my sandwich to go, as Covid has made me wary of dining indoors. I have to say, thesandwich was delicious and filling. I really want to go back and try other menu items. Read more
The Brown Bag in Reston is my favorite stop for breakfast. The owner runs a great business. When our office was in DC I used to... go to the Brown Bag there and this one is just as good. I absolutely love the Greek Omelette, home fries and the AmericanFavorite. Also love the bacon (perhaps the most). They have a great lunch too. Thanks for having this great restaurant so closeto my work! Great and friendly staff too who are always smiling! Read more
I'm not really a salad girl (always too much lettuce!) but I love their Roasted Chicken Salad. I've dined in once and ordered... online once, both at dinner time and both were great experiences. Staff doesn't seem particularly warm and friendly but again,I've only gone at end of the day when they're probably exhausted and trying to close up shop. Can't dock them for that. Read more
Sandwiches are fine but bowls are more worth it. Love the food. Nice and simple once you understand how to order. You don't just... approach the register. First go to the front of the kitchen staff and fill out your order on paper. Then hand your order eitherto the sandwich staff or salad staff depending on what you want. Read more
$10 for a salad with 4 toppings. I don't know I rather eat fast food else where or get potbelly. I don't like the bread that... comes with it and u can't substitute it for anything. Worst part is I didn't want bread on it since I am trying to eat glutenfree and this touched my food. Was not even asked if I wanted bread. I wish u can substitute it for an extra saladtopping. Young office worker crowd here,looks like a group of healthy people, well dressed. Food is good but salad dressing ismeh( my life would be better without it; I did not have any dressing-yes that bad in the opinion of my tough palette), I had thelemon vinaigrette and it tastes like it came out of a large tub where the consistency is thick and slimy. Good to try once butI rather have dressings out of a bottle if I had a choice of the two. - adjusted review, I went and tried another dressingsince I really didn't like my lemon vinaigrette, here I tried house Dijon. Expecting it to be yellow.... it was pink!!!!? Why?Taste remind me of dressing in old cafeteria that comes out of a pump tub...color reminds me of cheap soap that comes out ofpublic restroom dispensers..... Read more
I have tried Brown Bag twice and have been underwhelmed both times. I paid almost $13 for a pretty basic,salad. Also, the... chicken was very dry. It is way overpriced. I am shocked they are still in business. Sweetgreen in RTC is far better if youwant a salad. Read more
