The Paper Bag

I have been wanting to come here and it was well worth the wait!!! I ordered the Blue Lagoon Hot on a croissant with tomatoes. My daughter ordered the Man in Black Hat. The food was made fresh and it was quick to get out. The flavors were amazing, the portions were enough for a hungry person but not so much that you walk out feeling over stuffed. Pricing was reasonable for the size, freshness and quality of the sandwich. I have seen ads for this restaurant and I am so glad I finally made it. I’ll definitely be back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had the Cuban sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. I topped it off with a huge chocolate chip cookie — easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The shop is small but full of character, and I loved the exposed brick interior. Easy ride from the UF Heart and Vascular Hospital where we are visiting our mom. They’ve even been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, which says a lot on its own. The menu has just the right amount of variety without being overwhelming. From what I’ve read, they have multiple locations around Gainesville, so I can’t wait to visit again. Definitely stop in and try their pressed sandwiches — you won’t regret it!

The paper bag is something special from their incredible social media presence to multiple locations across Gainesville serving up delicious sandwiches for the people. The downtown location is tucked just off Main Street and is an absolute diamond in the rough the parking may be spotty at times but the food is definitely worth walking from the parking garage nearby. I got the Tre way and it is phenomenal genuinely an amazing sandwich. The bread is fresh the pickled Vidalia onions are sweet with just a slight bit of acidity the glaze on the burnt ends and pork belly is absolutely fantastic there's a good reason their featured on the Food Network. You can't fake the funk and baby im grooving 10/10 bring your in-laws here, bring your extended family, bring your neighbors everyone should exper

A huge variety of great sandwiches! We had turkey pastrami sandwich and Jamaican jerk chicken sandwich. Good taste, good portion size. I assure you, they taste better than in the pictures. The staff was super friendly.

Good sammiches. Reasonable price. This place was on food channel is why we went. However I got boot on truck from towing company. Cost 80 dollars to get it off. I parked in an empty parking lot and walked 3 blocks to eat here. The guy hides till you walk off then boots your car. 5 other cars around me all had boots on there car. Park in nearby parking garage.
