  Just went to the Lions choice on manchester and I believe he is the boss by the way he carried himself but if Melvin isn't a Regional manager he Should be. He was so great the entire staff was friendly kind and fast. Food was great as usual. Thank you and I will keep coming back to this location!!

  We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this particular location. We by-pass THREE locations closer to us in order to visit this particular Des Peres, MO Lions Choice location! Why? Because first of all, when you walk in the door, you are greeted and heartily welcomed. We hadn't visited this location in almost a year, but when we visited last week AND AGAIN last night, BOTH TIMES we were treated like family and like the royalty members they pride themselves on knowing as they genuinely asked about how our trip was that we had shared with them we were taking LAST YEAR! JonMichael in the back was so helpful and reminded a new trainee that we and another guest who happened to be there were regulars and that they LOVE their regulars. We could tell! The food was hand delivered to us--no being called by name or having to traipse back to the counter...we were provided with a DINING experience, NOT a fast food sling-it-across-the-counter type affair! Now, that's not to say it wasn't fast...it WAS...AND it was FRESHLY PREPARED! My baked potato was steaming and loaded with freshly steamed broccoli florets (no stems here...Lions Choice doesn't believe in going cheap...they are an ALL IN restaurant by the people and FOR the people), crispy, well-cooked bacon (nothing more American than bacon, right?!), and served just the way I ordered: with a portion of turkey in a cup on the side, so I could increase my potatoe's nutritional impact just like my doctor ordered! Now, listen, they DO serve the butter (not that fake, wanna be called butter, NOPE...REAL BUTTER) and sour cream...where & how? ON THE SIDE, so YOU can control your portion...America, Take Back your waist size! That's just ONE MORE reason we LOVE being royalty members here! The menu has options normally not found in typical fast food joints: steamed OR fresh veggies, crisp salads and REAL meats that are NOT loaded with chemicals or processed additions...this stuff is lovingly prepared and slow roasted IN THE STORE, NOT shipped in in bags or cans and heated coming from China! These taters are good-sized Idahoans baked AT THE STORE DAILY! And while we didn't have the frozen custard last night, we know from experience how creamy and yummy it is. Now, a little known fact is this: Tuesday is Family Night. Now, folks, do yourself AND your budget a favor (Tarrifs got ya singin' the blues? Well, YOU voted for it...that's all I'll say: I am not complicit in this one, BUT I CAN fight back by supporting a local joint run by local people! Whew...just about got off track and let that derangement take over...) soooo, do yourself and your family's budget a favor--go visit on a Tuesday night! $2.00 off kids meals! And.. are you a 'neighbor' who lives/works in Kirkwood/Des Peres at a local school/business? Ask for the Good Neighbor discount! Anyway...The fried, GLUTEN FREE chicken strips are THE BEST IN TOWN...fried the minute they're ordered, NOT sitting in under a heat lamp or in a crisper drawer waiting in their own oil to be served later! And you get TWO side choices with that kiddie meal: your choice of crispy, freshly cut REAL potatoes made into GLUTEN FREE fries, fresh veggies with a generous portions of broccoli FLORETS (NOT ALL STEMS), 2 grape tomatoes, AND baby carrots, OR applesauce! Plus, they have tea (sweetened AND unsweetened) or Vitamin Water or milk or juice (I think), or coke zero as options other than fully sugared sodas like most fast food places push since sugar is cheap--come on people: choose smarter options. We are in an epidemic of obesity...balance is what you get here without compromising flavor or options that Americans love! Make America great by treating yourself to delicious flavor, healthier options, fast food that's freshly prepared sans the chemicals and extra additives and processing WHILE they ALSO serve genuine kindness, respect, and care to their visitors through their actions AND words! There's no trumping these meals; this place is KING of the hill!

  I love Lions Choice and eating here. The staff are phenomenal and food is delicious. I highly recommend the southwest sandwich because somehow the heat from it you feel it as a warmth deep down rather than a burning sensation in your mouth. But I digress. Get your tails down here already. You won't be sorry.
