Lion's Choice is hands down the best roast beef sandwich you'll ever get in a fast food setting! So glad to be back in STL to enjoy all this goodness. The seasoning is indescribable. I always get well done with extra seasoning. I've never been a fan of the fries unless I get cheese sauce to dip them in so since I've been back I've been ordering salad and I like the bistro dressing. My only real complaint is that I wish the bun could hold up to the meaty goodness. I hate that it starts getting soggy before you even open it. But I wouldn't want the bread toasted either. Lion's Choice kicks Arby's a**!!! read more

These guys were busy for lunch on a Wednesday but they still delivered hot and fast food! I got their large roast beef combo meal and everything was delish. The fries were so hot and tasty and the sandwich was divine. The one issue was the meat was falling off the bun (a good problem to have). Gotta love all their sauce options and the au jus. Top notch almost every-time!!! read more

Super friendly through the drive thru. Fast service. I like to come through for the perfect sized dip cone. Mini size read more

Ed and the staff on May 22nd 2026 were so sweet helpful and kind food was wonderful and fresh they all deserve a raise and the place was clean including bathroom!! I'll be coming to this one for now on read more

Amazing. Food was great as always. Judy was fantastic. Efficient, accurate and fun to order from.

A very clean Lion's Choice location, and the service was very friendly. Typical LC fare, got a Large Roast Beef Meal. I wish they would actually cook things to your liking-- every-time I ask for rare I get medium well, lol. Besides that, a yummy fast food restaurant (much better than Arby's). read more

Just wanted to say thanks so much for not being a good neighbor in the community. Your restaurant's gross negligence of not properly maintaining your grease traps. This caused (3) 5 gallon buckets of grease to be cleaned from the sewerlines by MSD. 13 homes on our street were affected by your incompetence. Our basements flooded with human feces mixed with grease on a lovely spring day. Our compete and utter shock to having our remodeled basement flooded and completely ruined. Having to deal with the utter horror of this nightmare that was no fault of our own. Records do not lie about your establishment being in noncompliance and contributed to this disaster. Your company should be held financially responsible for this disaster. read more

Chloe did an amazing job with her customer service and amazing attitude!!, She most definitely needs to be recognized and praised for the hard work and effort she is putting in!! read more

Food& service are excellent. Love their French fries!! With County location is always very clean. read more

Every time I go here I always end up sick. It's pretty over priced, and the lemonade is always watered down. The only thing I would say is good is the service. read more

Best seasoned roast beef best broccoli and cheese soup. Larger portions. As diabetic I can make 2 meals out of this. So very affordable.

Food is good consistently I stop here often. The service has been courteous. I said that we were splitting part of the meal and they provided all the extras needed without having to ask. We very left satisfied. read more

Worst lions choice sandwich ever. Ordered a classic roast beef with cheddar. Overcooked, cheese only on half the sandwich and to top it off a burnt bun. Trying to support St. Louis business but giving this one a break for a long time. 4/25/20 @3:30pm. It wasn't even busy. Quarantine is not an excuse Update 7/19/20 12:45pm. Still THE WORST. I ordered the same thing. Classic roast beef with cheddar. And AGAIN the bun was BURNT. The roast beef was dry and there was barely any cheddar. I'm convinced this is the worst location. QUIT BURING FOOD! read more

Lion's Choice - South County - Burnt bun. 4/25/20 @3:30pm. - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Lion's Choice has one of the better roast beef sandwiches. Fancy restaurant or fast food this is the best. The beef is served medium rare and is sliced thin. What makes these roast beef sandwiches the best? They cook and slice the roast beef on sight. It is not processed roast beef it is straight up beef roast. read more

This location is always clean, food is always fresh, and staff is friendly and helpful. I was disappointed in the veggie sticks side, but they're usually fine. Very good choice for fast food that's probably healthier than most! read more

Mess up all my order and they always try to be on a hurry the guy is nice and everything but they need to pay more attention !

Service was fast and I typically have great experiences at Lion's Choice; but if a "pict'hair" is worth a thousand words, you can take this to the bank. read more

Lion's Choice - South County - King Beef with hair - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

They was short staffed but was friendly and didn't rush me and my son. Didn't take any longer than anywhere getting out food and was extremely friendly. Anywhere else having only two people working it would of been a disaster. Everyone that was there Oct 1st thank you for showing up read more

I realize it's hard to find good people these days but you really need to find better employees. Today we asked for crispy fries and got them undercooked and the roast beef was overcooked and dry! You guys used to consistently have the best roast beef sandwich in town but now it fluctuates from good one day to horrible the next. I hope you guys eventually figure things out, meanwhile, I'll get my roast beef sandwiches somewhere else! Former Lions Choice Fan read more

This is more about Lion's Choice in general rather than this particular location, though the staff seemed disinterested at best and several tables needed a good washing down rather than a quick wipe. Anyway, it's clear that they are not trying to compete on value. I don't mean the lack of a $1 menu or $5 lunch box, but just generally. I ordered the "King" roast beef sandwich combo. They also come in Original and Large, but I missed lunch and I'm hungry. My $9.49 plus tax gets me a sandwich I could hide entirely in my palms, a "side salad" and a large soft drink. They serve quality meat and have always been more expensive than other fast food, but this is ridiculous. And I get that it's difficult to make comparisons to other types of restaurants, but no matter how I try to define "better", I can think of places where I could do better. The side salad didn't help my mood. Almost entirely purple leafy lettuce, which looks like a lot but weighs maybe an ounce per bushel and feels like weeds in the mouth, with exactly two cherry tomatoes and one tiny, pale broccoli floret. When popping open the plastic container the single bit if broccoli and one of the cherry tomatoes rolled out, off the table and onto the floor. Oh, and after asking me whether I wanted croutons or crackers they failed to give me the crackers I asked for. And the restroom smells disgusting, though not as if it was just used (if you get my drift), just nasty. Sometimes it's the little things, sometimes the big things, and sometimes it's everything. Now please excuse me while I go find something to eat because I'm still hungry. Oh, good luck finding my King Meal photo, they have totally stacked the deck with their own pictures which don't even begin to look like what you'll actually get. I think they've out done Hardees on deceptive advertising. (I like Hardees but the sandwiches in their advertising are absurd). read more

Lion's Choice - South County - "King" size sandwich meal. - Sandwiches Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Delicious, delicious, delicious. Lion's Choice is the place to go for roast beef sandwiches. I always order mine with a baked potato ( always large) with cheese and broccoli. Pepsi products on tap. Don't forget the Au jus. It is GREAT!! read more

Ordered a large roast beef and frys. Sandwich came on what looked like a big hot dog bun. Half the sandwich was edible, but the other half had pockets of salt in it. Never received any condiments either that I ordered. read more

This Lion's Choice is a bit pricy but always delivers a delicious albeit salty meal. They were a little slow the particular time I was there but gave me a decent discount because they were slow which was awesome. I would definitely recommend this spot for a good, quick meal. read more

I've had trouble twice going thru the drive thru at this location. This time, I asked for 3 roast beef sandwiches. 2 with Swiss cheese and one plain with a cup of cheddar. The employee, DT-OT, even read the order back but managed to screwing up. When I got home, I was missing the plain sandwich. When I pulled out the receipt, there were 2 sandwiches, both with Swiss cheese rang in. How do you read an order back to the customer but still get it wrong??? If you go thru this drive thru, make sure the order is correct before you pull out!!! read more

Went to lions choice today thru the drive thru and ordered my food, asked for horseradish sauce. Got none no napkins and all most didn't get the chocolate milk for my sons order read more

I normally do not eat fast food. Its bad for you and not a lot of healthy choices. However Lion's Choice is one of my husband's favorite establishments so I will go on occasion. You get to make your food the way you want it, so its as healthy for you as you can desire. Personally when I go, I get a roast beef on wheat or a ham sandwich on wheat. You get a good size portion of a drink and fries to go with your sandwich and they are superb with their fries. If you're in the mood for a sweet treat, this is also the place to stop for cheap small ice cream cones and it gives you that little sweet that you need. If you're from STL and someone asks for a recommendation, you'll probably hear them suggest LC - after all it is good! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could. Love Lion's Choice. The Creve Coeur, Wildwood, Eureka, Ballwin and Fenton locations always have great food and service. Been going for decades with zero issues. This South County location is a disaster. If you go during a lunch rush or early in the day it's usually ok. We went tonight. The drive thru staff was very nice and made certain the correct items were in the bag. The food was beyond nasty. Gray thick sliced beef, I ordered medium rare.(it's supposed to be shaved) no seasoning- ordered extra seasoning, stale greasy fries- I specifically asked for fresh hot fries, cold hot dog and stale cones with the ice cream. Didn't occur to me to request the hot dog warm and a fresh cone. I don't know why the food at this location is always so bad because the other locations serve the food exactly as you would expect it to be and it's great. I have gotten sandwiches at this location with foreign objects in them and sandwiches that were drenched with some sort of clear liquid that was not au jus and could not be identified. Several times I have taken the food back and shown it to them or photographed it before throwing it away and they agree that it is not up to Lions Choice standards however they are mad at me for not just accepting it??? Their attitude is like " How dare you say anything about the fact we serve sub par garbage". PRO TIP: It's not the customers fault you serve disgusting food. Try learning to cook and serve it properly. The chubby girl manager is a rude illiterate loud mouth who yelled at me as soon as she picked up the phone and told me not to come back. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Too big for her breeches in every way. I once returned a sandwich with a foreign object in it and the the skinny scraggly little hillbilly looking boy that manages at night practically through a new sandwich at me without any apology or concern for what the object was or how it got there. He was mas at ME for HIS mistake. The GM Mel is worthless and clearly should not be allowed to manage a houseplant. His solution is if you don't like eating their gray rubbery meat and cold stale greasy fries don't eat there. If you want your roast beef shaved med rare and fries to be hot fresh and on brand for Lion's Choice don't go to his branch. He does nothing to make improvements he just makes excuses for his inability to run the restaurant properly. I was at the Creve Coeur location the other day and had a wonderful dinner I told the cashier about some of my experiences at the South County location and they were shocked about the way we were treated. They wanted me to call the main office I told them I already had and apparently nobody cares. We never ask for free food or try to get anything for free in fact several times the manager offered us extra food. All we wanted was the food we ordered, properly prepared so that we could enjoy it. Isn't that why you go to a restaurant? We got tired of throwing the crap away a, wasting the money and having to go out again for more food. We stayed away for over a year even though it's the nearest one to our home and tried it again tonight in hopes it had improved. Nope. We dine out frequently at many different restaurants and never have problems like this. This South County location is disgusting. We'll never spend our cash here again. read more

I really miss this place since I've moved away from St. Louis. The roast beef sandwiches dipped in au jus are SO good and their chili fries....YUM! They season their roast beef perfectly and it's not overcooked like nastyass Arby's rubbery roast beef! I used to eat here quite often when I lived in St. Louis...and my thighs showed it from those chili fries! I try to go here for a roast beef anytime I get back in town. read more

Lion's Choice is like no other fast food I've ever encountered. We generally never go to fast food restaurants, but Lion's Choice is a must-go every time I go home to StL, and my husband had grown to love it as well. The quality of ingredients they use is what sets them apart from other fast food - medium rare roast beef and the best fast food fries by a long shot. If you're in the area and need a quick meal, try the roast beef and you will not be disappointed, I promise. And finish your meal off with a 14 cent ice cream cone. Seriously. It's the best. read more

Had one of their new salads this weekend and it was very good! I used to come here a lot as a kid, and it's rest to have healthier options now available! read more

I just spent almost 40 dollars for cold food. I normally love Lion's Choice but I wouldn't recommend this location. It was awful.

Good location, very nice workers. The only thing is it's expensive, they all are.. Especially being fast food. Love the little ice cream cones for a quarter! read more

Cheap. Good. Decent sized portions. Right next door to my dealership....Sold! I generally only stop in here for the frozen custard. To be exact....a large chocolate dipped cone, upside down, in a cup. IMO, it's better than what I've received from the DQ across the road, and the prices aren't sky high for a fast food joint. Oh...and the Italian Beef sandwich was a pretty good option too....though I'd prefer it dipped in au jus (should've asked for itt). read more

Wow, I thibk the frozen custard is ... CUSTARD! After a few weeks of dieting, when my husband got a hot fudge sundae after our meals (Butcher Block salad is so good) I decided I'd splurge too. It was so good. The menu board said custard, but I expected "soft serve".So worth it. Ham sandwich is good too. Now with cooked brocoli as a side dish. read more

The food here is outstanding, Caitlin is my absolute favorite employee! Nobody is ever smiling or even trying to look happy, but Caitlin always has a smile on her face and is such a joy to be around! I stop by once in a while after work around 5 and it's never a disappointment. She should be given a raise! read more

Awesome food. Great staff. Fast friendly and polite. And military discount is awesome. Lions choice is a staple in St Louis and the best fast food restaurant. I wouldn't call it fast food though as the meats are always fresh and never processed. read more

I honestly don't think I've been more disappointed with a meal. I used to love eating here but I will not be going back. The French dip was disgusting. The bread was too dry and the au jus was tasteless; more like water. The classic roast beef was so bland. The bread was the only bit with any flavor. It's a waste of money. read more

Very over cooked roast beef! I swear I think the only lions choice restaurants that get it right are the ones in sunset hills and des peres. Gave most of the hard beef to my dog. Too expensive of a sandwich to be disappointed.. read more
