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.

    I am a big fan of lion's choice. Roast beef sandwiches are good, and I recommend the mini dip cones, but sometimes they are a bit too "mini". I appreciate the senior discount.

    It’s gotten way too expensive and salty.
