Buns and Guns is a fast-food restaurant located in Beirut, Lebanon in a Hezbollah controlled area [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7468729.stm "Lebanese food served with a bang."] BBC News, 23 June 2008.] . The restaurant's theme of military decor, fake assault rifles, and camouflage netting, as well as recorded gunfire sounds. The dishes are served with names of "rocket-propelled grenade" (chicken on a skewer) and other names like Kalashnikov, Dragunov, Viper, and B52.

According to an interview with Al-Manar, the restaurant's owner, Yasser Marji, said "My goal was to make people laugh before they ask me, why weapons? The important thing is that they laugh." Ibrahim insisted that the only way his sandwiches could kill customers was by their generous proportions. "It attracts customers in an unconventional way. You noticed the moment I opened the restaurant, there was a lot of business."
