Killer roast beef sandwiches since 1967. The recipe for our famous roast beef sandwich is simple: 100% real top round beef. Slow roasted on-site for three hours. Shaved extra thin. Served medium rare on a lightly toasted buttered bun. And topped with a dash of secret seasoning. It’s the same way we’ve done it for over 50 years. Voted Best Fries by St. Louis Magazine.

    Missed a sandwich but charged us. We failed to check overstuffed bag. Next time overstuffed means the order is incorrect and you will be short changed because workers don't care to do the right thing.

    I don't know if this location has just gotten bad in the last year or so, or if Lion's Choice in general has made some changes but the food is consistently poor now. It doesn't taste like it used to. At least at the Clarkson location. I haven't been to any of the others in a long time. It's also insanely expensive. I went there a week ago. The only thing I ordered was a single king roast beef sandwich with cheddar. No fries, no drink. After taxes, this was nearly $9! For one little sandwich! And it didn't taste good. I've stopped going to LC after having been a fan since the mid 90's. If the prices weren't so outrageous I might try another location again, but I'm not paying this much money for fast food. Sorry.

    My $4 large fries were cold, it was the only thing that I ordered. Service was great otherwise.

    Super great local chain. Love the roast beef and the newer Cubano sandwich. And if you want some classic style French fries, this is the place.
