Brown Bag Seafood Co. — Restaurant in Chicago

Lobster roll is yummy!

We ordered two lobster rolls one with bleu cheese tator tots and the other with Parmesan cheese tator tots. The lobster was served cold but the bun was slightly warm and buttery, toasted and flavorful. The lobster itself could have used more flavor/butter. But overall I enjoyed it. The tator tots were mid nothing special I would have preferred fries.

We also ordered the crispy cod which was crispy so if you like fried stuff then you'll like this. It came with coleslaw which was very plain tasting could have used a pinch of salt and pepper. It also came with sweet potatoes which were soft and just okay.

We also got the blackened fish sandwich which was just okay, would not recommend. It did come with truffle fries and a mayo dip which was the highlight of the dish. The truffle fries were really good and the dip was delicious!

I could not give 5 stars bc they do not have a variety of drinks and they also don't have ice! We asked for ice and the server said they don't have any. So how do you keep the lobster chilled??? Just odd, I never ate at a restaurant that didn't have ice. Very strange.

Of everything we ordered I enjoyed the lobster roll and truffle fries the best. Everything else was just okay and would not order again.

Typically have good experiences and often eat at the location in lakeview but used Uber eats to order this time around. Had a simple request to add 2 small sides of boss sauce for each meal which was the dinner daily catch and protein power box. 2 meals that cost close to $25 each. Uber didn’t allow boss sauce for an option so I called and made a simple request yo add the sauce being told I’m only allowed one sauce per meal. Let me repeat again the meal is $25 each and you won’t allow for a second side of sauce that probably costs .10 cents! It’s in a large bottle while dining in and using an unlimited amount. Honestly mind blown when I was met with attitude when I questioned the woman who answered and said she won’t give me more than one and that you’re only allowed a sauce for every other dinner. The more typing the more angry I’m getting at...

The ambiance is two stars at best. The employees are immature and don't exactly match the neighborhood. I know how this sounds but there's a reason why I choose to live in a neighborhood with educated people. I trade the markets at my desk for 4 hours a few times a week and a moonlight as a doordash courier for on my bike because I like to get out and explore the town. I noticed restaurant employees sometimes don't treat me as nice when they see I'm a food courier. But if I'm a customer they treat me a lot nicer.

Also, being treated nice is one thing but proper hospitality from a better class of people is another.

Some people just don't exude better class because they usually don't live in their everyday lives and only try to put their best foot forward when...
