The food did not miss!!
Came to BROWN bag seafood for a quick bite before checking into my hotel. Inquired with the host about food recommendations. She recommended the lobster roll or the fish and chips. Giving such a great description of the lobster roll I went with it. I was not disappointed. The tater tots were cooked to perfection and the lobster roll was delicious. Definitely try some of the boss sauce as well! Even left with some Swedish fish!
I will definitely be back.

What a great place! I was greeted the moment I walked in by one of the workers who was clearly busy.
Menu was a little confusing to me but I enjoyed learning how it works.
I was craving fried fish, fried shrimp and some fries. This spot is close to my home so I was really hoping for good food. As I strolled just east of the street walkers and bar trash on division street, I found this awesome spot on the corner.
This place is a solid 5. I look forward to coming back and trying the healthier options.
Keep up the great work. The staff deserves an award and I feel bad for putting no tip. I’ll overcome my cheapness and take care of you all next time.

Wonderful experience at Brown Bag! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and very satisfying. Our order came out quickly and the wait time was minimal, which we really appreciated.
A special thank you to Aaron — he was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. It was our first time visiting, and he did a fantastic job guiding us through the menu and helping us choose. His attitude made the whole experience even better.
Overall, we had a great time and a very positive first impression. We will definitely be coming back again!

Excellent spot! The interior is a bit small, but it has great atmosphere and friendly service. Menu is simple but focused. Their golden hour lunch special is a must. Had great crispy shrimp

The restaurant is very clean, and the food is absolutely amazing. I especially loved the taste of the lobster roll.
However, one note: you should bring your own napkins or hand wipes, as the restaurant doesn’t provide any wipes or hand sanitizer.

The food and service is top tier. The workers are so nice and the restaurant is nice and clean . I love this location out of all the locations I’ve been to. You can tell this restaurant cares about its customers. I want to Give a shout to one worker in particular . I think she is the manager I’m not sure., but her name is Bri . She very polite and customer friendly,she has knowledge of the food she sells. she recommended something just off a small conversation of my likes and dislikes and her recommendations was right on the money, I order the same meal Everytime. I will only frequent this location from now on.

I’d been craving a lobster roll and
I had a hard time finding one. While fancy places often have them, finding one on the menu at a more casual spot is rare. Luckily, I found street parking in the Gold Coast area and decided to try this restaurant.
The small restaurant had a clean and well-thought-out layout. Although the lobster roll was $34, I couldn’t resist ordering it—and I’m so glad I did!
The beverage I also ordered was that
Ginger lemonade was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, with a refreshing finish, ideal for a hot day. The lobster roll came in a brown to-go box, packed with thick, juicy chunks of lobster nestled in a buttery, moist, toasted bun. Instead of the usual French fries, it came with crispy fried tots topped with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese—a delightful twist!
Everything was crafted with care and attention to detail, which I believe was worth paying $34. They seem to have several locations in Chicago, but I’d love to see them open one in the suburbs. And if they do, I hope they keep this incredible food quality.
That’s what made the experience so special!

The food and service were both top tier. The staff was extremely friendly, especially Aaron, who helped us at the register. I got the garlic shrimp dinner plate with sweet potatoes and tater tots- each item was an easy 10/10

I meant to grab something to eat at Sweetgreen across the street and walk past Brown Bag Seafood. The place has cosy seating, good music and nice vibes so I gave it a try. The food is delicious, reasonably priced and sustainably sourced. I’ll certainly come back.

Got the dinner plate that’s available 3pm-6pm daily including one protein and two sides for $15. Cashier was super friendly and helpful. Always a big fan of brown bag seafood and everything tastes great on top of it
