I don't eat fast food very often, but when I do, it's almost always Lion's Choice! This is the location I go to most often, and have for many years. For the longest time, there was an older Black gentleman who worked there. He didn't work behind the counter, he ran the dining room. He kept everything cleaned up and he played host. He always spoke to my youngest daughter and me when we were there. He talked about his family and asked about ours. We rarely left without a tiny ice cream cone that he got for us. If I went without my youngest, he would ask why she wasn't with me. He greeted and chatted with everyone, but was never annoying. He was such a nice man. There was an article written about him in the STL Post-Dispatch quite a few years ago. I don't know when he left, but he is missed. I always get a roast beef sandwich. They make other sandwiches, but I'm not interested! I love a roast beef with Swiss and I put horseradish sauce on it. I also love their fries and dip them in horseradish sauce as well! The food is great, the service is (almost) always friendly, and they keep it pretty cleaned up. Of course I'll be back! read more

You had a great offer for a free Lion's Choice with the purchase of any sandwich. I ordered the turkey sandwich, which was great, and got the free roast beef to go. I gotta tell ya..the roast beef was so underdone that I could not finish it all. A bloody mess! This is very disappointing! I understand a "bit of pink" but not a lot of "red". Please do better! read more

Lion's Choice is my favorite fast food! I absolutely love their original beef sandwich, baked potatoes, and their Orange Cream. I love that it's a local chain, so still supporting local but able to make it work on my busy schedule. read more

I wanted a quick bite and had a taste for some chili cheese fries. I decided to come here because I like their thin cut fries and cheese sauce. I legs from the drive through and it wasn't crowded. Staff came on the intercom as I pulled up and took my order. The process was smooth and the staff was friendly. Only thing I don't like is their utensils aren't pre wrapped. The fries weren't bad. The chili had beans and taste ok. I think the salt from the fries balanced the taste because the chili seemed a bit bland. Next time I'll order just cheese fries. read more

I was a frequent customer of Lion's Choice for years but after a horrible experience at the Ellisville location (which included dining in filth, being served rancid food and encountering a rude and insulting supervisor) I paused giving the company any business. Today I decided to go the Chesterfield spot, where I have been many times, and was glad I did. It was spotless and all of the workers were extremely polite and professional. The real pleasant surprise was eating (for the first time) the cod fish sandwich. It was exceptional. Unfortunately, is only served on Fridays during Lent. Note to the Ellisville supervisor: note the cleanliness there and watch the manager and how he does his job. That is how you should do yours. ; read more

Food is inconsistent. It was hot ona Friday and delicious and have everything included but on the following Sunday, it was cold and did not everything we ordered. read more

I ordered lunch here for pickup the other day. It was my first time ordering something other than their amazing fries (from when I was a kid) hoping that the experience would be just as good. I was pleasantly surprised that I had arrived right on schedule for pickup at 12:15pm and the food was just about packed up for me. Talk about prompt service! I ordered the Italian beef, fries, and a root beer. I will never stop raving about these fries. They were somehow even better than I remembered as a kid and I couldn't have been happier. I feel like a lot of fast food restaurants have drastically declined these days, but that is not the case for Lion's Choice. Everyone else could learn a thing or two from y'all! This location doesn't have the best reviews, but I can personally say that my experience does not match those poor reviews. This location was pretty clean from what I saw, the manager on duty was making sure that everything was good with my order not knowing that I was the custom who's order was being worked on. The lunch rush just started and the place was about 50% full so I got there at a great time. I believe they also had a line at the drive thru as well. *Whole order was inhaled within 20 minutes so unfortunately there are no pictures, but trust it was perfectly wrapped and hot! read more

Girl taking orders inside is literally wearing beats headphones. She said she couldn't understand me three times because she has beat headphones on.. then gave me attitude. This girl should not have a job. I'll never go there again. Who hires these people complete moron read more

It has been a hot minute since I've been to this Lion's Choice and WOW was I impressed on this visit! I stopped in here on a lunch break and was pleased to learn that they now have "smaller" meals with a small fry and drink for a bit cheaper (because a value meal here is like $10). I ordered the smaller roast beef meal with extra seasoning. The dining are was spotless and all the condiments were filled and nicely organized. The service here was phenomenal! read more

The food was very good; the menu must have changed because the food is very delicious not salty; savory and flavorful. The service was excellent; they were very attentive and accommodating. The ambiance was relaxed and calming; we will be back. read more

If you're looking for a good roast beef sandwich you're at the right place. Service is good as it comes out quick and the inside is nice and modern. The sandwich is super good and well worth the price. For a fast food sandwich it really hits the spot. read more

Lion's Choice - Chesterfield - Kings sandwich. Not a meal just had fries from a friend. Sandwich comes plain what I added are free condiments they have. - American Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Food is good, however.......dining area is absolutely filthy from floor to ceiling. Tables condiment areas seats, floors were covered with filth, old food which was not from that day. Disgraceful. read more

Not a native St. Louis or midwestern person, so I cannot say I've seen lions choice any where else before in my life. Decided I'd try it in a hurry and wow I have to say this thing was BAD. I got the original roast beef and it was loaded with so much salt it felt like I was eating a sandwich soaking in the ocean, and we are no where near the ocean. Fries were also stiff and tiny. Not to mention the whole meal costs $11. Lions choice feels like if eating Arby's leftovers. No disrespect to lions or choices but this was a miserable experience. The service was fine but nothing could make up for the lack of respectable cuisine. read more

The lions choice in the valley is always good. Very consistent and friendly staff. Quite clean. We frequently go there!

Love Lion's Choice. The best roast beef sandwich anywhere. I grew up on their sandwiches and they always deliver.

Horrible, the customer service was okay, I had just ordered a roast beef cheddar and watched the employees prep customers food without gloves in the back. They don't wear hairnets either and someone's hair was in my sandwich Absolutely disgusting. read more

This place was the worst service I've had in awhile. Ever since Covid it seems like the service in places has not been good. I'm leaving a 2 star because the food wasn't bad, but the service was not good. The lady seemed pissed and annoyed the entire time she was serving us. Half of the tables were turned over. No napkins were in the containers so I had to use paper towels that the lady was using for cleaning. All of the sauces were put away so the only sauces available were ketchup packets. All of the hand sanitizer was empty and the soap in the women's restroom was practically gone. Mind you we came here around 6 pm and they close at midnight. When my boyfriend asked about getting a shake, the lady looked over at the guy in the back and just said "ice cream don't work." And he said his sandwich was kind of cold like they didn't warm it up much. read more

My kids and I grew up with Lion's Choice (not Arby's) so stopping here has been a regular spot for a really great fast meal if you're a 'beef' fan! You can order a regular, large or biggie size sandwich depending how much meat you want, then make it a 'meal combo' with fries and a drink. Enjoy the fresh shaved roast beef piled on a sesame bun lightly dashed with LC's (salty) seasonings. Then the fun part is you can add your own diced onions, banana peppers, pickles or jalapeños plus 'sauces' or au jus to your liking - all offered self serve. I'm big on creamy horseradish, so that's the only sauce I use, but they also have chipotle, ketchup, mustard condiments. So good with your sandwich or hot fries! I also really like their 'hearty' chili, thick with meat, beans onions, diced tomatoes with a nice chili flavor. Add a little hot sauce, onions and crackers, makes a good meal or side with a sandwich. It'd be even better with grated cheese, but not sure they offer it. You can also get hot dogs and soft serve ice cream cones if not a roast beef fan. Oops, today I was so hungry I forgot to take a photo of my food, ugh. On the bright side, it's a reason for me to go back soon! Hope you enjoy! read more

I've been going to Lions Choice for many years. The quality of their food has always been excellent. But don't drive thru this location after 8:00. Paid $28 for dinner for two and everything we got was very cold. Couldn't even eat it. Very disappointing. read more

I know, what kind of a guy takes the time to review fast food. We pretty much know what we are getting when we go in, right? Well, I had a birthday coupon for a free regular sandwich so for lunch I decided to use it. I have had roast beef at Arby's and Hardees but never at Lion's Choice. I guess we don't always know what to expect. This is really not something I would get again. I posted a photo. Either they pulverize the beef instead of slicing or I happened to get a wad of crumbs that were cleaned up off the slicer. Well at least it was tender, but (close your eyes) can you taste that this is beef? I absolutely could not. All it tasted like was the seasoned salt (something like their version of Lawry's) that they shook on top in excess. I can't imagine a circumstance where this would be something I would eat on purpose. I suppose it is something that kids like. I also could recommend it to the toothless, since you can pretty much gum the sandwich. Aug 2015 - I know I said I would not order this again, but I got another free coupon and could not resist. It was at least as bad if not worse. This time the beef was very chewy, although still pulverized. It still had very little flavor and apparently no seasoning is applied when they roast it. They rely on a heavy dose of Lawry's-like salt on your sandwich. I like salt and this is way too harsh. I was astonished at the drive through line the entire time I was there and the place was packed. I guess it is the same people who eat the other St Louis delicacy, provel. I promise, there will be no more returns. Free coupons notwithstanding. I just had to be sure. I'm just warning out-of-towners. read more

So when did not giving the right sizes become a thing here? I went got a king meal and was given this as fries. The kid I. The window when I asked said that corporate changed sizes. I asked when he rolled his eyes and said look, turned around and grabbed two of the same small bags and showed them saying that the one in his right was the small and the one in his left was the large I reminded him that I had ordered the king size he said yeah that's what it is now. Can we please get some training out here? read more

Listen, unpopular opinion but I don't happen to think Imos is the best food Stl has to offer. When my out of town friends ask me if they should try it, I always direct them to Lion's Choice instead. Any variation of their roast beef sandwich is gourmet quality at a fast food price. Their French fries are genuinely the best I've ever eaten in my life. Not to mention that you can round out your meal with an Stl classic - frozen custard! Run, don't walk, to your nearest lions choice and take the hassle out of dinner! read more

This is my first time visiting a Lion's Choice. It reminds me of two restaurants back home mixed together. Which are Arby's and Culver's. I made sure to order the provel cheese as it's a local cheese option. I have to say I'm a big fan of provel. The food was good for a fast food joint. Greasy fries. But the roast beef and steak bun was pretty yummy. Over all for a fast food joint that is not local my area I would visit again going through Missouri. 4 stars as our fries were cold. read more

I've been to this location several times and each time it has been the best experience. Very clean, friendly and fast service. The employees seem like they actually want to be there and the vibe is always upbeat and positive. Would definitely recommend stopping in for good food, fast...and great service. read more

Love the chicken and wild rice soup! Better than Panera! Wish it was year round. I buy and freeze just because I want to enjoy it in the summer too! read more

My family has been coming to this location for years and have always been met with good food, great service and friendly workers. Unfortunately this location has taken a dive in the last few months. The food quality has gone way down. Our fries today had been sitting out in their dine-in plates, which I can understand staging during a lunch or evening rush but we came during an off time. The employee that took our order was rude and messed up our order 3 times. There were 8 employees "working" but all they were concerned about was talking or surfing their phones. When my food was finally served it was wrong. When I tried to alert the employee standing 2 feet away from me behind the counter he ignored me because he was in a conversation with other employees. When he finally turned around he didn't even acknowledge me and when I told him that one of the sandwiches was supposed to be a meal. He grabbed a dish that was already plated and dumped the fries on my sandwich. He didn't say anything, just turned around and went back to his conversation. Sadly, this was our last time visiting this location. We'll drive down the road and go to the one on K that still has Lion's Choice company values. read more

Terrible service in the drive through window. When I mentioned leaving a yelp review the sarcasm increased. Definitely recommend a chat with that employee. This was July 8th at 9:42. I will also be calling corporate for a refund because the food seemed tampered with!!!! Horrible location Update. No idea how to personal message you to fix this.

what a shame how this place has gone downhill in the past several years. why would an employee deliberately put their fingernails in my sandwich grabbing it to put in the bag - so wrong and gross! see my pic not worth calling in - get better quality employees who aren't ignorant to your customers read more

Came in close to closing time and they had a busy drive thru but no one dining in. Staff was super nice even though I was only one inside and very good food. Richard was particularly helpful and on top of things. Manager also super nice and could tell this is a solid working team.

You haven't lived until you've had an original, delicious Lion's Choice sandwich. And don't listen to anyone who even dares to compare it to Arby's. Fresh roasted beef, secret seasoning, and buttered bun. That's great all by itself, but if you add the BBQ sauce and horseradish combo - OMG! So good. If you ever hear a bad review for Lion's Choice, they are crazy. read more

Ordered their classic roast beef. The bun was stale, the meat had a funny smell and was not at all warm yet very dry. Threw it away after 3 bites. I realize the pandemic has many of these businesses scrambling to stay open and I'm trying to support them but I can't afford to throw away $10.00 on an inedible sandwich. read more

I want to thank this location for always providing excellent overall service. The food is always great, and the employees always are working together and friendly.

This is my first time in Missouri, and my friend told me that I just had to try out Lion's Choice! I was not disappointed. Service was prompt and friendly, there was a wide array of drinks and condiments, and the sandwiches of course were delicious. I would most definitely come here again!! read more

This review is strictly for the Lion's Choice at this location on THF Blvd. I love love Lion's Choice and the one at Olive and 270 is always spot-on and consistent, but this one sucks. This location just doesn't meet standards. From always getting my order wrong (either forget to give me wheat bun, forget condiments, etc) to under and overcooked food, this location is a bad representation of the brand. The fries are always really undercooked compared to other locations and if you ask for the rarest meat, it's consistently dark brown and overcooked. If I want rubbery meat, I'll go to Arbys. This is the last time I'm giving this location a chance. read more

Food was delicious as always but visited twice over Christmas break this year and both times the place was FREEZING inside, despite the unseasonably warm temperatures this week. Like, no kidding, had to grab my half eaten meal and head to the car to finish as my teeth were chattering and my fingers like little icicles. They must have had the A/C cranked down in the 50s in this place at the end of December. Very off- putting and as much as I love Lions Choice, will likely never choose to dine in here again since evidently the staff prefers to work in a walk-in cooler. read more

I went to the Chesterfield Valley Lion's Choice for lunch on August 19, 2022 and I had the perfect roast beef meal, served at the perfect temperature. The sandwich was cooked to perfection, the bun was soft and warm, not soggy at all. The fries were perfectly cooked and hot. The restaurant was clean and all of the employees I had contact with were friendly, personable and working with intention, seeing to guests, clearing tables and willing to help with a smile and positive attitude. I don't usually write reviews, but this experience was exceptional! Thank you to the manager and workers. read more
