The Brown Bag Sandwich Shop

On my venture to find San Antonio's best Italian sandwich, I made a pit stop at this tiny but mighty shop, spotlighted by the Express-News. Timing was crucial, as this hidden gem only opens its doors Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 3 PM--so no weekend sandwich cravings here!The shop itself is charmingly small, with trinkets and treasures sprinkled throughout, and a friendly staff that makes you feel right at home. Reminded me of visiting my grandmother's house. They nudged me toward their patio, which was a nice little retreat while I waited.When the sandwich arrived, it was love at first bite. Generously stuffed with meat and cradled in bread so good it could star in its own bakery, it's no wonder this spot made the 'best of' list. Satisfying? Absolutely. Worth crossing town for? Well, you got to at least try it once. If you're on the hunt for sandwich greatness, consider this place your map's X.

The parking was a little scary because it is right off a busy road. It is a nice little mom and pop sandwich shop. The staff were so nice and would come by and check that everything was good. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich, potato soup, and a deviled egg. The deviled egg was good and tasted like you would expect a deviled egg to taste. The chicken salad sandwich was delicious. I love a regular chicken salad and this was exactly that. The potato soup was okay. When I think potato soup, I thought it would have more of some potato chunks. This was more of a potato purée that had an overpowering celery taste. I'm not sure that I would order the potato soup again. However, the rest of my meal was delicious. My friend ordered the potato salad and said it was very good! I do recommend this place. I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches.

Great sandwiches and amazing desserts. I repeat, amazing desserts. Nice quaint atmosphere, better customer service than finer big brand establishments. These folks are genuine and special. I had the Reuben sandwich with sour kraut on sour dough bread , garnished with deviled eggs. Pleasant experience. Will return with friends next time.

Always a pleasure to have your lunch here. I have been here many times and always enjoyed everything served with a smile. Pleasant escape for relaxing and taking a dessert to go for later. Introducing a friend will surely be appreciated. That is how I first started coming here.

Absolutely. The best cheesecake in San Antonio. Texas hands down!!! Go online place your order and enjoy the goodness.

This place is AWESOME !!! I've had a sandwich from here before that someone brought to me as I was in a meeting. It was the Philly Cheesesteak and it was Slap Yo Momma Good. This was my second time eating one of their sandwiches, but the first time being here and dining in. Cute little place with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is hard and dangerous !!! The service was great and the lady who helped us, I'm assuming the owner, was very friendly. Definitely worth eating here !!! Fresh, delicious, and great service.

This review is cause of Jeff one of tbe nicest guys I ever met working at this sandwich shop! The Philly cheese steak and South West melt was awsome! Place is very clean and it feels very Mom and Popish which I love!! I definitely will come back again!!!

I can't even begin to say how much of a hidden gem this is. I got to try several menu items such as the meatloaf sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, and the club sandwich. All of them were great and made with such care and love. The place is a small little diner, quaint, and decor changes with the seasons. They also have a medium size patio with plenty of seating for those who would rather sit outside and they have lunch combos and specials every day of the week that they are open. Make sure to check them out whenever you get a chance, as far as deli's go, this is one of the top 3 in the city.

Dined here for the first time, a couple days ago. Everything was fresh and delicious and the service was fantastic. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend, will be returning. Be sure to go early, as it gets extremely busy!

Great friendly staff. Meatloaf sandwich was delicious! Chicken and potatoe salad had just the perfect amount of mayo, not too runny but not dry. Loved our food. Will definitely be back.
