Very impressive and good tasting food. I feel better knowing I can stuff myself with good tasting, healthy and fresh food than... pizza or burgers. Salmon is always great. The crispy shrimp is excellent and tastes great. Thank you for being in Chicago?sRiver North. I?ll be a regular for sure. Read more
I was so excited to find a place with fish and chips on the menu but was promptly disappointed. I received two small pieces of... fish that truthfully tasted like having fish sticks in elementary school in both quality and flavor ?not worth the money. Thefries were good. My partner got the curry fish patties with a power box? the power box grains were so salty he couldn?t even eatit. We?re not unaccustomed to salt or seasoning, so that?s saying something. The patties were unimpressive as well. This is aguy who never leaves a plate with a scrap of food left on it? barely ate his meal here. $40 to feed us both and most of the foodwent to the bin. Waste of money and food. Read more

The rare crossroads of healthy and super delicious. This is a place I go to when I feel I need to get my fill of leafy greens,... power grains and scrumptious seafood. Seafood lover, health nut or foodie ? this place has it. Read more

Got a takeout lunch on December 20th from the Brown Bag Seafood River North location. We ordered for pick up online and the... online menu and ordering experience looked and operated very well. When I arrived at the restaurant it was easy to find where togo to get my takeout order. Clear signage made it obvious where to go and would have helped manage traffic flow if it had beenbusy. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was bright, clean, and vibrant. I hope to come back over day post covid to dinein. Our order was packed nicely in a handled bag which made carrying my order for four easy to manage. We got two salmon kidsmeals, an adult salmon entree, and an adult whitefish entree, along with some sides. The kids meal salmon entrees were nicelypacked and consisted of a well cooked and seasoned piece of salmon along with a kid sized side item. One of our kids got thekids veggie mix and the other opted for tots. The fish itself was flavorful, not overcooked, and had that wonderful seared fishtexture of slight crispness on the outside with a succulent interior. The adult salmon entree was similarly well prepared. Itwas seasoned and cooked remarkably well given the "fast casual" nature of Brown Bag Seafood, and far surpassed my expectations.The grains and veggies that the salmon was served over were similarly well prepared and tasty. We ordered the whitefish entreeas tacos, and they were very flavorful and worked well as tacos. We ordered them without jalapeno, but jalapeno still showed upon our tacos, but since it was just a garnish, it wasn't a huge deal. There was a nice sauce and slaw with the fish on thetacos, and it came with a side of tortilla chips. The tots that we got as sides were tasty and well prepared, which isn'talways the case with takeout fried items. The clam chowder was also a highlight. It was not overly creamy but it had a goodamount of clams and a really nice fresh herb flavor. Overall we were extremely happy with our lunch experie Read more
The lobster roll could easily be 5 stars if the bread it was wrapped in wasn't buttered so heavily that it overpowered the... flavor of the lobster. The taste of butter is so strong that you can't really taste the lobster at all. I did have a bite ortwo of only lobster and it seemed to be of high quality which makes me wonder why they don't pair it with a less overpoweringroll. The parmesan tots were good, but not amazing. Service was great. Read more
The curry fish cakes with the veggies were super yummy, I would definitely get them again! (sorry i started eating them and... added the aioli before i took the picture hehe). The staff was so kind as well Read more
