Love this delightful little corner shop located in German village. It’s not a very big place inside but the sandwiches and salads are worth giving it a try
I very much enjoyed my Ruben. All the sandwiches have their own twist on the classic flavors but the sandwiches are very big for the price. Fresh salads to choose from as well! I had a fantastic smoked Gouda potato salad with bacon and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since! Highly recommend

My husband and I love brown bag! We are from NY and come to visit my husbands sister once a year. Our first stop is always the brown bag! We come at least 3 times while we are here, it is so good. Honestly we talk about it all year lol! We’ve had at least 5 different sandwiches and they are all fantastic. Love the daily specials options and the soda choices! Don’t forget the best part, the deviled eggs! We are so happy to have found this gem!

My wife and I love to support local businesses. Brown Bag Delicatessen offers some of the best sandwiches you can get in Ohio. My wife got the village addiction and I opted for the Cuban. Both were made to perfection. The service was helpful helping us navigate the options provided. We ate on the patio and enjoyed the sites of German Village. I highly recommend.

The food was delicious! The staff are really wonderful people. We had a group of 5 and felt very welcomed and cozy in the space. The classic club is my recommendation!

Highly recommend! Cutest little soup, salad, and sandwich shop! There was so much more I want to try! Settled for the classic club and cream of mushroom soup. It did not disappoint!

The food was good but in no world is waiting for a sandwich & pasta salad for 45+ minutes acceptable. Diabolical actually. I would not go back based on the ridiculousness of the wait alone.

Brown Bag is definitely serving up a good sandwich and sides! My biggest takeaway was that they do not skimp on the meat. Their sandwiches are massive and the sides are a hefty portion as well. Definitely worth giving this place a try. I can’t wait to come back and try a vegetarian sandwich.

A real sandwich shop. Expansive menu, lots of cold salad options, and friendly staff. Had the #1 on ten (on rye) and a 1/2 pint of dilly potato salad. Great stuff.

Excellent sandwiches all around. Big serving. Great taste. Quick service. We sat outside on a nice day. They have indoor seating also. Lots of people ordering to go bags. Great place to watch people walk their significant others and dogs by. Close to Schiller park.

The Brown Bag Delicatessen has earned its reputation as one of Columbus’s most beloved lunch destinations and a true local icon among sandwich aficionados. A staple in the historic German Village, this deli has carved out a niche by offering exceptionally crafted sandwiches that draw both casual visitors and devoted regulars alike. 
What sets Brown Bag apart is its commitment to generous portions and vibrant, flavorful combinations. I ordered The Village Addiction, a masterful blend of smoked turkey, Havarti, and cranberry mayonnaise, and have previously had other favorites that stay true to classic deli tradition while delivering bold, satisfying taste. 
The sides are always fresh and coming in and out, with combinations that feel fresh and like comfort food at the same time. The Potato salad is to die for.
It’s no surprise that Brown Bag has been recognized as one of Ohio’s top hole-in-the-wall culinary gems and remains a go-to lunchtime favorite for locals and visitors alike. I will certainly keep coming back.
