This trip I got their shrimp nachos which were loaded and delicious! My husband got a shrimp burrito, which he also enjoyed. We also ordered their boardwalk cookies (which are deep-fried Oreos with a caramel sauce and powdered sugar on top) so yummy! The good thing is since you can create your own creation, you can also customize your food to be vegan or dairy-free etc. Service was quick. There are a couple of tvs usually showing people performing extreme sports. There are a few booths and a few small tables inside.

If you are already a poke fan, DEFINITELY check them out. If you are a newbie or poke-curious, Poke Munch makes it VERY easy on beginners - and the staff is the "sauce on the bowl" if you will. It has been the same, clearly-invested, friendly and engaging staff on each visit (Ie....no rotating high schoolers checking IG on their phone while you figure ish out). Poke Munch is a Hawaiian take on the poke bowl. It is in a small shopping area with plenty of parking. You enter the shared dining area mentioned above and head right to order at the counter before moving on to your seat. The dining area and restrooms were very clean each time I visited. There is a ginormous, easy to read (and understand) list of recommended bowls. Keep in mind you can customize whatever you like! Or ask the staff to make you their favorite bowl.....put their favorite combo of sauces on your custom bowl....etc. etc. I DESPISE ginger, and as I get older, the number of carbohydrates consumed and the size of my pants seem to correlate, so I always hold the ginger & grains and get all mixed greens as the base of my bowl. Their raw, cubed fish has always been exceptionally fresh. There are a ton of vegan options and if you don't care for raw or surf, there is an excellent Crispy Hei Hei bowl with sesame chicken tempura, white cabbage, cucumber, sweet onion, carrot, shiitake mushroom, crispy garlic, unagi sauce, and PM sauce - but again, construct and customize any way you want. Do not sleep on the *Shiitake Mushroom Pot Stickers*. LOVE! Chopsticks, cutlery, and soy sauce are available. Grab a lid for your bowl if you don't finish. The food is so fresh that it has been just as good during round 2.

Ordering is easy, service quick and friendly. For takeout, I appreciate the compostable containers and colorful re-usable carry bags. Thanks, PM, for a delicious and healthy meal x 2.

We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it! If you think this is anything other than spectacular there is something wrong with your pallet. We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.

The kitchen was inundated with to go orders per the manager. They sure don't focus on their dining customers The chicken was the best of my 2 meat combo; the pulled pork did not have a smoked flavor. Hubby's ribs were just ok, again not with smoked flavor, Corn casserole was dry and had no sweetness. The sauces on the table were all with a vinegar taste, even the sweet & smoky sauce. We had to flag down someone to refill our drinks. Overall, the prolonged wait was not worth it. Moving on to a different barbecue restaurant!!!! The bread pudding was okay.

This Lion's Choice never disappoints. Whenever I am in Edwardsville shopping, or running errands…read moreand it's time for lunch, I head to Lion's Choice. Lion's Choice may be considered a fast-food restaurant, but your sandwich is made fresh. If you order inside at the counter, you can see them slicing your roast beef. My go to cheese is my favorite cheese, Pepper Jack. The seasoning they use and the Pepper Jack makes it a perfect sandwich to me. When anyone ask me, which fast food place has the best french fries, I always respond, Lion's Choice. Their fries still have the skins on, are fried crisp and just lightly salted. The kitchen is always clean from the counter view and the dining room is well maintained as well. The cashiers are friendly and provide excellent customer service. If you like Roast Beef sandwiches with or without cheese, I highly recommend you go and enjoy one at Lion's Choice. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

In addition to the sweet treats, one of the highlights of stopping by and even driving by, is reading their marque. The messages are always, witty or supportive of another local business. I love it when local supports local. Recently, I had a Chocolate Covered Strawberry concrete and I liked it more than my typical favorite M&M concrete. The chocolate ice cream with flakes of solid chocolate and pieces of strawberry made my day. I've also enjoyed, chocolate and vanilla twist cones, but the orange sherbet and vanilla is still my favorite. I keep saying, I need to try their burgers, so I'll say it again. I gotta try their burgers. The restaurant has a nostalgic look and feel. The staff is young high school and college students and they're always friendly. They truly hustle and make things happen for their ice cream fans. Next time you're in Edwardsville, be sure to make a stop at Northside Dairy Haven.

So check your receipt if you're pinching pennies.
