Brown Bag

this place is really good. I’ve only tried the terriyaki chicken but plan to work my way through their entire menu.

I have loved the Knoxville locations so I am so glad they opened one in cool springs. Mashed red skins, grilled chicken, and berry salad. Best lunch combo ever at a great price! Love this place.

Brown Bag is truly as good as it gets! The food is amazing, the atmosphere friendly and priced just right. I also love their pricing on their catering– they do an amazing job!

Great lunch spot. Limited seating. Berry slaw, steak, mashed potatoes, and corn casserole are all tasty. The orange tea is also very good.
The berry slaw includes bacon bits and small chunks of crunchy noodles, so it’s probably not the healthiest item. The corn casserole includes a lot of breading.
I wish they were open for individual meals through 5−6pm. Right now they only offer individual meals during their lunch hours.

Teriyaki chicken was excellent!
Berry Salad was excellent!
Sugar Snap Peas excellent!
Banana Pudding excellent!
So glad I checked this place out. I will be back. It’s awesome having a healthier choice!
Note: I rarely give anyone a 5 stars!

I love this place. It has healthy options at a good price. I wish they served dinner here or Sundays, but I understand. I have had the salmon burger (very tasty), steak sandwich (also tasty), and chicken. The jalapeño corn is so very good with the asparagus. My favorite healthy place in Cool Springs.
Staff is always nice and place looks clean.

I’ve been looking for a place like this for years. Quality, healthy, reasonably priced food. Simple menu where you choose your protein and then add sides. Depending on the protein you choose, it’s either $ 8.50 or 9:50. I had grilled chicken with snap peas and coke slaw. So good and so good for you! I will be back.

This place is awesome. Today was my first time there, I had the grilled chicken with red skin mashed potatoes and asparagus and it is just yummy! The food has a lot of flavor! I will be a frequent customer. Can’t to try something different when I go back.

All I can say is «wow»! I had a chicken sandwich and wasn’t sure what to expect but it was absolutely delicious and went perfectly with my spinach salad and jalapeño cornbread. The portions are generous and the staff is super friendly. Will be back often!

LOVE! You must try this wonderful spot. The grilled chicken is simply delicious. I plan to try the take home meals you can get from 2 — 5 next week. YUM!

I came here on a whim one day and boy am I glad I did! This place is phenomenal! After the first visit about a month ago I’ve made a stop in for lunch at least 2 or 3 times a week. After all those visits I’ve been able to try most of the menu and it is all delicious! Not only is the food great, but the staff is always welcoming, friendly, and seem to be genuinely happy to be there. I’ll keep coming back and make it a point to refer everyone I know there whenever I get a chance! Do yourself a favor and go give Brown Bag a shot!

My family and I stopped in here for lunch today and it was so packed but we shortly found a table. I really like their healthy take on a meat and three and the quick service and friendly staff. The portions are really sizable and great to share. My only problem was the food was lacking little in flavor and kind of cold. Other than that, things were good!

First visit today… had the grilled chicken, baby spinach salad and sesame snap peas — all excellent! Saw more on the menu I’ll want to come back for… Will definitely be back!

Brown Bag is my new favorite lunch spot in Cool Springs. It’s located in the strip mall adjacent to the one that has Chipotle in it, off Cool Springs Blvd. I liken it to a healthier version of a Meat & Three, only it’s a Meat & Two! Their mission is delicious, healthy food at reasonable prices. You can get a protein and two sides (or sub one of those sides for a drink or dessert) for $ 8.50 or $ 9.50. They’re open weekdays for lunch, 11am-​2pm. Super smart given that’s the Cool Springs busy time!
I chose their chicken teriyaki and red skin mashed potatoes. I cleaned my plate! Portions were ample for the price, there are tons of combinations you can chose, and all of the food was well-​seasoned and flavorful. Much more economical based on portions than the popular Whole Foods hot bar, and less work since you don’t have to haunt the buffet.
The other thing I like? From 2−5pm, you can pick up food to take home, specifically trays of protein portions, sides, and more. On a Friday, I had them pack me a tray of ½ chicken and ½ steak, and ordered some sides like baby spinach salad, grilled asparagus (for my husband), and the mashed potatoes. It felt like a great shortcut to doing some meal prep over the weekend! My husband LOVED the meals, even reheated. It will definitely be a great default lunch for me, given its proximity to the office.

Love this place! They just opened and I have ordered catering for the office from here several times and it has been exceptional each time! Great food — love the healthy options– and great service. They are punctual and the set up is uncomplicated which for busy office meetings is so important. They are definitely on our list of top caterers now.

Favorite lunch spot around! Always fresh, made to order! EVERYTHING is so yummy! Don’t forget to try the homemade banana pudding too! This will be your new favorite spot, trust me!

Yum! This place was excellent. Fresh, clean food, great menu and great service. Awesome addition to Cool Springs.

This was our first time here. The food and service were excellent. I don’t drink sodas, so addition of something other than tea is always a big plus in my book — they had orange tea. Similar to a southern fruit tea, but not as sweet. There’s not much seating, especially for a large party. By around 11:45 every table was taken, so I would recommend avoiding the rush hour.
