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.

Spent 25 minutes waiting in the drive through line. Had already paid for the mail online so didn't want to bail. Then the food was cold.

I have to say, I have had a lot of fast food, but this might be the friendliest fast food place I have ever been to. The dude running the counter was super nice, taking care of my wife and I like it was a fancy restaurant. They have some classic music playing, people were hanging out talking to each other as they ate, and not just at their own tables. It felt like a community in that store that night, like a British pub (without any alcohol, of course.) It was odd for a fast food place, but we will be going back often, since it was so fun and refreshing to see in modern times. Kudos to the counter guy for making our night great.

Our family ate at this location twice on our trip to St. Louis. Both times the person (different people) taking our order at the front counter was rude and seemed to have an attitude. We felt like a burden to them. Would definitely not come back for this reason. Food was decent.
