If you’re looking for quality, fresh seafood, minus the fancy dining experience, Brown Bag Seafood Co. has you covered. The new location of the Chicago chain, situated at 414 N. Wells St. in River North., provides counter service where patrons can get a to-go meal, or a casual dinner and craft cocktail that they can take to limited seating.
The menu features items like a salmon power box and crispy cod tacos, and the focus is on fresh ingredients, so the menu rotates throughout the year. However, made-from-scratch soups and sauces are available daily.
With a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp so far, Brown Bag Seafood has been warmly received by the first patrons.
Jessica S., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 30, said, "I work in the area and came in one day with a friend for some good ol' grub. That's just what I got. I was greeted by a very nice young lady who gave us the rundown on the menu and great recommendations. I ordered the Salmon Veggiebox and it was so good! I will come back in and try the Lobster Roll as she recommended."
“There's not much more that excites me than a tasty, healthy new lunch spot near my office, so I"ve been eagerly awaiting Brown Bag Seafood Co. to open their doors. ... I wanted to be super healthy with protein and veggies, so I decided on a grilled shrimp veggie box," added Yelper Andrea R.
And Noemi R. said, "This is a place where I would come if I want a healthy lunch. You fill out a piece of paper with what you want you give it to the person at the counter, and they call out your name when your order is ready. I loved the salmon that I ordered; it was cooked perfectly! "
Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Brown Bag Seafood is open from 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily.
