two cookies and an ice cream sandwich
Emma E.

Tried the new Nashville Hot Chicken sand which and it was a good change from roast beef. Ice cream is always a great way to finish the meal! Medium roast beef is always a solid choice as well!

BBQ beef...I guess

The f is this? I ordered the BBQ beef sandwich and this is definitely not that. I can't find anything on the menu that look's even remotely like this and I'm actually concerned

Original Roast Beef with an extra ounce of beef and extra seasoning cooked medium rare.

I grew up in Saint Louis eating Lion's Choice so I was ecstatic to find a location 35 minutes from where I was staying. When I read the reviews, I had a feeling they were left by people unfamiliar with the brand, and expecting Arby's processed grey substance. I was right! This location is true Lion's Choice! It is awesome! So good that we placed our order, went back for seconds and I had to get 10 sandwiches to go. The staff was super friendly. Checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. I am only in town for a few weeks, but I hope to return for another visit. If you want a hot roast beef sandwich like you would make ar home, if you had a meet slicer then head to Lion's Choice!!

The "Butcher Block" sandwich. Nothing close to the photo.

This place is basically an overpriced, less flavorful Arby's with a severely smaller menu. I ordered the Butcher Block sandwich and my wife had their regular roast beef sandwich with "liquid cheese" added (not the greatest marketing terminology imo) Judging by their photo and description this towering monster of a sandwich, I expected a pretty sizable task in taking this thing on, but was severely underwhelmed when it was just a normal sized sandwich. But whatever, lets taste! Or not taste, because regardless of having 3 meats, cheese, AND sauce, all I could taste was salt. Could barely distinguish the 3 meats apart from each other by anything but appearance, which was pretty laughable the way this thing was put together. Looked like they just tossed a few leftover remnants from the deli tray (see photo). Also, there wasn't even any sauce on my sandwich ( -__-) My wife's roast beef sandwich was completely flavorless and had next to no liquid cheese that I was up charged 40 cents for. The beef itself was pretty gross, had to throw it in the trash. Then there's the fries. Surely I could receive some sort of solace from some tasty fries potatoes right? Nope! The fries were hard and stale. Threw them away also. tl;dr save yourself some time and money and just go across the street to hyvee's deli and make your own sandwich.

This is supposed to be the cheese sandwich.

Lions Choice - Original roast beef sandwich and fries

Frequently drive out of my way to get to Lions Choice whenever I'm going through KC or St. Louis…read more This location wasn't my favorite necessarily (they didn't have any au jus or fry seasoning out) but the food is still worth the extra drive. Would have gotten a larger size but was headed to dinner after, again showing how highly I think of Lions Choice. Services was quick because it was before the dinner rush. Love the lion theme in the restaurant!

Being generous with my stars. This place screams Lofty Fast Food Can Be Found Here, beginning with…read morethe name, "Like ok, if a LION would chose I guess its good enough for my family on a busy Friday night?" I immediately noticed a sign that said they brine their french fries and I have always been a fan of this method for making some of the best french fries ever so I was excited to try them. Gah, lackluster, not even super hot and just ok. I decided to try their fish sandwich I know this is a roast beef restaurant- why try the fish sandwich, but a fish sandwich sounded good to me and I knew my husband would let me try his sandwich. Let's just say there's a strong possibility that I went to jail once when I turned 18 for loitering, the fish sandwich I had in jail that night was better than this one. Not kidding. (Wasn't convicted btw, just teens being taught a lesson) I guess some people say it's definitely better than Arby's for roast beef, I mean even the pictures tell you that. Why anyone would buy a Carl Buddig type roast beef sandwich for $5 when you can 72 packets of the meat for $1 at the grocery store I'll never know, but I digress. I gave it one more star after I wrote this because I was judging them primarily on a fish sandwich when they're clearly a beef place, but still! New restaurants should serve quality food especially on their limited time lent specials. The chocolate dipped cone was comical. I mean where can you get a CHOCOLATE DIPPED CONE for $0.50 these day's? LION's CHOICE, that's where! It's for the lion with a very small sweet tooth.
