Low-Key Sandwiches — Restaurant in Bozeman

Buses and sandwiches are just about the best things ever. The sandwiches here are amazing and delicious. Great menu choices, brilliant service. I also found the bus very interesting. I like to see buses re-purposed and they are great for outdoors food preparation.

In the UK we claim the sandwich invention by The Earl of Sandwich in the 17th century. There is a counter claim by Turkey but the Turkey sandwich is not widely accepted as no.1. Theirs is a bit dry. The Earl of Sandwich made his from a type of sourdough bread with cheese and tomato filling and finished off with his variation of Branston pickle. In the mid 19th century his descendents added chips. Nowadays we see a whole variety of sandwich fillings and Low-Key Sandwiches have embraced the idea perfectly.

Below you will see my favourite bus. It is part of the Midland Red Fleet that operated in the West Midlands between 1950-1981. You couldn't get sandwiches on any of these buses but occasionally a philanthropic person may leave a little snack on the seat.

Anywaysup, this is a fabulous sandwich location and is very highly...

$$$ for what you get. After ordering, I was told it would be 15 minutes; took more than 20... wouldn't have been a big deal, except I was on my half hour lunch break. The order was not correct, but I didn't notice until I got back to work (check your order!). The onion rings were burnt, and for $6 I got 6 rings. My burger was mediocre at best... not bad, but not great. I wouldn't complain if it was a cheap burger, however, it was $15 just for the burger. Not at all worth the price or the wait time. We won't be going back.

UPDATE: In response to the feedback from LKS, my hamburger was indeed $15: a double burger ($11), with avocado($1), bacon($2), and cheese ($1) which adds up to $15; anyone reading this may look at the menu prices, and do the math. So you are correct that no "plain" burger is $15. As for the onion rings, I didn't get a drink nor was I offered one; 6 (burnt) rings for $6...

This was the last Banh mi I had yet to try in Bozeman (as the hours make it hard to get to), but it was by far the best! The picture doesn’t do it justice. Everything in it is fantastic, but most especially the bread — it’s the closest thing I’ve had to a real deal Vietnamese baguette in this state. The jalapeños are uncommonly hot, and the guy working at the window was awesome. Overall a wonderful place!

[edit 10/18/21] We went to Missoula and I tried the top two restaurants that sell Banh mi there for comparison — this is still the best. I’d honestly go here once a week if it weren’t so...
