The Brown Bag Bistro - Alton (IL)

5 /5 Erica Schisler: I got the Veggie Naan sandwich with red pepper hummus delivered. It was so delicious! I am a very picky vegetarian. This sandwich is FIRE! So good! Was so happy to see a real vegetarian option and not the typical junk other restaurants offer as vegetarian meals. Highly recommend! I will definitely be ordering this meal again! *Photo shows only half of the sandwich.

5 /5 Darla Wilfong: Ordered carry out for a group to celebrate work birthday with pick up at 1130 on a Wednesday. This place is always hopping ! All the food was just as we ordered only thing I regret is not grabbing a slice of delicious cheesecake!

5 /5 Paige Pruitt Ringhausen: Brown Bag Bistro is the best! It’s almost always my families pick when we go to lunch in Alton. I’ve eaten around the menu & everything is soooo good! My ultimate favorite is the Bistro Club. Such a great sandwich ever. single. time. I recently was helping plan a 30th birthday and needed a charcuterie board and immediately thought of Brown Bag for it. From start to finish Chris and the whole team were wonderful. The board was so good & we ate every last piece. Needless to say it was the talk of the party. Highly recommend if you need catering for a party or need a great spot to eat in Alton!

5 /5 Amanda Erickson: Wow what a delicious lunch - everyone loved their food. We got the ultimate grilled cheese with lobster bisque, Italian meatloaf sandwich and the club sandwich. Only able to go at the end of the week of our vacation, wish we could have gone a 2nd time.

4 /5 Steven Bott: Happy 7th Anniversary, to The Brown Bag Bistro. You are like a bottle of wine, you are getting better with age. In all honesty, you do deserve a 5 Star rating, but Im holding back, because you do not offer a sandwich with pastrami and that is my all time favorite deli meat. However, I will give a huge shout out for the, Sammy Roo (Reuben), The New Yorker (Roast Beef), Bistro Club and The Granny Grilled Cheese. All four of these are winners and big enough to share or to have leftovers for another meal. Your salads are sensational, too. Id be hard pressed to say which one is my favorite. Out of your five offerings, Ive tried three. Your Spinach, BLT and Chicken Caesar are all top notch. Being a local concierge, I am always recommending your restaurant to guest. When I do, I always recommend ordering a sandwich and salad to share. That way they get a sampling of both. Im old school and not a real fan of order at the counter and take a seat. Times are changing and I am adapting. Your staff does a good job of offering this type of service. The cashier is always friendly and takes orders as if she were standing table side. Then when the runner brings the order, they are equally as professional and friendly. In closing, Ill say BBB is top-notch and is a must visit when in Alton. I just wish they offered pastrami.
