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.

    The roast beef looked like ham salad . Arby's roast beef looks better and tasted better.

    I am a loyalty member with lions choice, I want to say how disappointed i am with the roast beef sandwiches, some days when i get them they are perfect, taste really good, i never go on Mondays here, because the roast beef sandwiches turn out awful, this day in particular I took pictures of my roast beef ( it was a Monday dumb me) it was slimy, tough, overcooked, had a lot of gristle as well just terrible, I had to cut it into little pieces just to be able to eat it this day, now on Fridays, its really good some pink to it, great. Now i feel like i can't go back here, because you have to guess, is it going to taste good or terrible, i'm not going to find out anymore, i just won't go back. I have to add that the roast beef sandwiches are really expensive as well, so they have to be perfect, at least taste decent anyway...you have lost a loyalty member, i'm not loyal anymore. I am done with lions choice. I'm tired of spending money on expensive roast beef and the result is subpar food. Somehow they manage to mess up roast beef.

    They are nice and seem to be trying but over and over I get assured all food is in the bag and I keep having missing items. The bag is always so stuffed it's too hard to check while in the vehicle. Only second bad review I have ever given but after this being what feels to be the 20th time I gotta let it out.

    Usually very good, like 5+ stars. But today, whoever was on headset seemed unable to multi-task. I got The Remix, opened the wrapper, and there is aoli sauce everywhere. I was determined to try it anyway, but there is so much sauce that I can't even taste anything else. Best part about this particular meal, the fries were fresh.
