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.

Decided to go to the Des Peres location after a bad experience at the Sunset Hills location, a month ago. I was presently surprised and reminded what a great fast food experience could be. When we walked in there was no one at the register but the Manager, who was working on a sandwich order, welcomed us and said someone would help us promptly. He then asked one of the employees, who was in the back, to assist us. Nice to be greeted in such a friendly way. As we ordered the employee asked my name for the order. After we ordered and sat down I was struck by how clean the restaurant was. As a person who previously worked for and audited restaurants, it was noticeable compared to usual fast food restaurants with less than clean floors, tables that have not been bused, etc. I was then surprised when the employee actually delivered the food to our table. I was certainly expecting to have my name called and need to go back to the counter. Most importantly the food was better than expected. At our Sunset Hills visit, the fries were really bad. These French fries were actually very good. I should also mention while dining we heard another couple leave and thank the Manager for a great meal (apparently they were regulars). Thanks again for an unexpected positive experience and we will be back!

Came in today and usually go to Fenton location, but it was on my way home today from work. Crystal, bri and Kyle made my day. They came in welcomed me and asked how my day was. I was stressed, but they made me feel so much better! Not only did they make my visit nice and pleasant, they went above and beyond by suggesting I try thre new dill pickle fries. It was delightful. I will be back. The roast beef was nicely cooked and cut to perfection. The aujus was really good too.

I went to Lions Choice this evening and ordered a large order in the drive thru. I was ordering for 8 people. When I pulled around to the window, I was asked to confirm my substitutions (I thought this was awesome) and then before they handed me my food, they verified all of the requested sauces. Everyone was kind, polite, and friendly. It was such a different drive thru experience in this day and age that I actually asked for the workers name. Thank you, John Michael, for going above and beyond to make sure our order was 100% correct. It was very appreciated!

Dirty dirty. Soda fountain covered in mildew. Tea had chunks in the bottom. Condiment dispensers covered in sludge. Sandwich was cold and aujus tasted like it was 2 days old. Lions choice is one of my favorite stl restaurants but I will never return to this location.
