A sandwich bar is a type of restaurant that focuses on a menu of mostly items appropriate for creating different types of sandwiches. There are a number of ways to structure this type of restaurant, with some owners opting for a dine-in experience while others focus primarily on setting up a take-out grocery store. Typically, customers have the option of ordering any of the sandwiches offered on the menu, with the option to add various toppings as desired. An alternative approach to creating the sandwich bar is to provide a buffet of various sandwich ingredients along with some side items, allowing customers to make their sandwiches just to their liking.

One benefit of a sandwich bar is that customers are usually able to enjoy the same speed of service offered by fast food restaurants while having more control over the fat and carbohydrate content of the meal. For example, if the restaurant is structured as a buffet, the customer may choose to choose whole grain breads which are typically a better choice in terms of fiber and complex carbohydrates for diabetics, lean meats with relatively little fat, and a range of vegetable toppings and condiments considered relative healthy options. Many sandwich bar setups will also include options like low-fat potato salad, French fries, or coleslaw made with oil and vinegar. When combined with water or some type of unsweetened tea, the end result can be a meal that is relatively low in calories and fat but still tasty and filling.

With a sandwich bar focusing primarily on take-out or take-out services, there is usually a minimum of seating in the establishment. The main focus is a cafeteria-style line that allows customers to choose a basic sandwich from a pre-programmed menu, then customize the sandwich by informing the server of desired toppings and toppings. It is not unusual for cafes of this type to offer sandwiches with a choice of different types of bread, toasted or untoasted, and a small side line such as chips to go with the meal. For beverages, customers can usually choose from a selection of fountains or bottled sodas, teas, and bottled water to accompany their meal.

In many nations, there are different sandwich bar options available. These include national and international chains that offer a set menu or restaurant model that is used uniformly by all franchises and all restaurants that are directly owned and operated by the chain. There are also a number of locally owned sandwich shops that could easily be classified as sandwich bars, thanks to their menu selections and focus on sandwiches as a major item on the menu. Relatively inexpensive, opting for this type of mealtime fare is often a good choice for anyone who is trying to cut back on calorie or carbohydrate content but still enjoy a nutritious meal without preparing something at home.
