Lowell Restaurant Guide

The one true way of making a great sandwich.At Dharma Buns Sandwich Company, we understand that far too often you have to settle for less when it comes to a quick bite to eat. We don't have to tell you how fast food restaurants that tout "quality" items for cheap prices usually serve an inferior product. They grab a frozen burger patty from halfway across the country and throw it on a greasy griddle, rip open a bag of crystallized potato strings and toss them into an idiot-proof automatic deep fry, and your end result pales in comparison to the picture on the menu. We say that's not cooking, that's heating.

We actually cook at Dharma Buns, because anything that's worth doing is worth doing right. Our experienced team grinds fresh beef to make our burgers right on the premises, we slice real rib eye steaks, we bake and trim our own roast beef and turkeys, we hand-cut and blanche real potatoes for our authentic Belgian fries, we even make our own soup stock! If we can't make it ourselves we only buy quality provisions, like our bread, and pastries, which are brought in daily from DeFusco & Son Italian Bakery.

Because we make just about everything from scratch we actually lower our overhead since we don't buy overpriced, pre-portioned frozen foods. This translates into very reasonable prices for our customers. Our most expensive sandwich, the steak, is only $8.95. You could get a complete meal for just under $15. We may be a little more expensive than your standard fast food fare and we may take a little longer to prepare your order (usually between 10 to 15 minutes), but your dining experience will be exceptional and not soon forgot, because we're better than the rest, and we're serious about it.

It's not just a great sandwich, it's a way of life.
