Tried to place an order for 15 mins but couldn’t. You fill in a card with your order and it is set up totally confusing (cards designed badly), had many questions (that didn’t fall into their boxes), no one to ask, no one to take the card, asked other customers standing there, also did not know. The people behind the counters completely ignored me so I couldn’t ask a question or give my card to anyone. Just left as it wasn’t worth the hassle. Didn’t actually try the food as I couldn’t get that far.

Oh, I had such high hopes for this establishment. I’ve wanted to try their food for such a long time. Well I found a hair in my salad, which is absolutely disgusting. I’m disappointed that this happened and I definitely will not be eating food from them again.

I am very disappointed in this establishment, Brown Bag in Bethesda. I stopped in to buy lunch today (December 21, 2021) planning to eat indoors at the restaurant, and selected a bottled tea drink, and ordered a chicken bowl. But when I tendered cash for payment, I was told that Brown Bag only accepts credit cards—no cash!

Today morning I experienced something like discrimination from here. I took a seat outdoor table of this restaurant with my wife, after getting coffee from Starbucks just beside. After less than 1min, one person, probably owner or manager came outside and kindly told us not to sit down here because these tables are for customers. So we immediately moved out there with saying sorry. This is OK and reasonable. But the problem is she just asked this to us, not to two white men who had already sit down the other table with Starbucks coffee before we did. Even after we get out there and sit down near one of public chair, the staff did not say anything to these two men. I was really shocked. And nobody did say anything about this, even though two couples of senior citizens having their brunch as well as the two guys heard and saw these. I don’t know…this doesn’t seem like abnormal here…

My sandwich was delicious, but I spent 30 min looking for parking and had to spend $4 for 10 min at the nearest parking garage. Only really worth it if you’re a pedestrian in the area.

Food there is good and fresh. The staff is friendly and the place is nice. But the salad itemization is over priced. I ordered a salad with a few vegetables, and grilled chicken and a side of chips and paid almost $17. Too me this would only be appropriate for a sit down restaurants gourmet salad. I also found the pasta to be very small for the price as well. Sorry, but I won’t be getting anything but the specials from now on.

Called to ask for directions cause it was confusing for me to find the place . The lady that answered the phone asked “are you dumb” with a heavy accent . Maybe she was having a bad day but still, worst experience.

What a great place to buy breakfast or lunch. You can get healthy meals made with care. I like it because I can grab lunch as I am about to jump on the metro. Love the Brown Bag!!!
