    The open floor plan into credit union offices makes this LC appear larger.
    Michael S.

    An otherwise good experience was marred by noisy alarms frequently going off, and a counter employee shouting to be heard over building renovation. Our oder was correct but it took a few tries to confirm it with the counter clerk due to the plexiglass shield separation and nearby noise. This location has staffed credit union offices in one corner, and an ATM outside.

    I'm sorry. I wrote the first review on this Lions Choice when it opened. I gave it five stars. It was EXCELLENT. But I just ate (half) of the worst lions choice sandwich I've ever eaten. It was tough to the point of being inedible. I don't understand. In addition, the last two times I went there I didn't get all the food I ordered. Last time I went back and they fixed it. This time I didn't return because it was so bad I wouldn't have eaten it anyway. I've started driving to other locations to get my LC fix. I sincerely hope they do something because I'm actually going to the Arbys across the street when I want to go to this lions Choice. Please fix it.

    Fast food restaurant/bank

    A truly remarkable and surreal experience. We were looking for a quick lunch traveling through St. Louis, and I recommended Lion's Choice, because it's good, quick, and one of the few fast food restaurants I know of a where Ex-employees will still eat the food. Initially we thought it was odd that a Lions Choice would be connected to a bank (Simmons bank of Pine Bluff, Arkansas), but when we walked in was when all logic stopped and we saw that the two business are one in the same. The vestibule has a night deposit slot. The waiting area for the bank is adjacent to the soda fountain/condiment bar (including ketchup, sweet BBQ, smoky/tangy BBQ, chipotle ranch, honey mustard, and horseradish). You can fill out a mortgage application while you wait for your roast beef sandwich and sit in the immaculately clean dining area, or the sittable 4-sided chair in bank conveniently out-fitted with a desk arm, cup holder, and numerous charging ports. We go to order at the phantasmagorical counter, ask a few questions about the menu, and had easily the most friendly, helpful fast food cashier we've ever encountered. (Her name is Patty, and she was lovely; FYI the classic is 4oz. of meat, the King is 5.5 oz.) The meal was delicious, the restrooms were clean. The soda fountain has pellet ice. I considered applying for a home improvement loan. This is the product of a madman or a genius, and I honestly can't tell you which. Don't believe me? Here's a panoramic shot.

    I've never had Lion's choice before and came here because we had a free cone coupon. I came here mainly for my toddler to get free ice cream lol. We were in the area so why not. The restaurant is very clean inside and out shared with a bank. It's the former Tim hortons. The entire staff working was super friendly, friendliness level of chic-fil-a. I'll definitely be back here when I'm ready to try their other food.

    a sign that says served with pride

    What a great idea for a fast food restaurant. Employees are hurting their chances for survival. Attitude is everything. Service was slow and poor. Dining room is dirty and tables not cleaned off. It's 6:15pm and only 2 people are here. If I had invested in this business I would be ticked that it's not running any better than this. You had one chance to impress. I hope you can turn it around. I had a #5 meal. $10

Plus for a special treat swing by on a Sunday and enjoy one of the best cafe singers ever! We didn't catch her name but she was really good and we enjoyed our meal and coffee while listening to her sing. This is a very cute downtown coffee shop. It's in a small town and has that special small town vibe.

    Upon entry, I was greeted by a very friendly barista, and I believe her name was Leticia (sorry if…read moreI'm wrong). She introduced herself, asked me my name and welcomed me. That was very impressive! I ordered a peppermint bark & oat milk iced latte and she started that while I continued to look over the menu. Music was playing oldies -- The Temptations, The Dells, etc., which was a chill vibe. I then ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy as I am always on the search for the best b's & g's. Latte was handed to me quickly at the counter and my food was brought to me within 2 mins of sitting down. The latte was quite sweet, I didn't taste much of the espresso, which isn't my preference. I really am kind of biased though as a former barista myself, ;) However, I know next time to remember to ask for less syrup, if I order again. The b's & g's are very fresh -- the biscuits were warm and tender; the gravy is more of a brown gravy and not your classic white gravy. It was thick, with chunks of sausage, flavorful, with herbs on top. It was not that salty which I noticed right away as I am very particular about that. I appreciated that a lot! I don't think I would order these again, solely based on liking white country gravy better. But very flavorful and for someone else, worth a try! And they were served in a Togo container which is cool, in case I wanted to take it with me. The cafe itself is immaculately clean & that included the beautifully wallpapered bathroom. The tables are all clean and they all have pretty little real mums in cups, I love that simple touch - so cozy. One walls is covered with photography pieces for sale and as I photographer, I love to see the support for us and our work! Definitely super cool. As a NYC native, this cafe felt more urban-esque, while sitting in downtown small town Belleville and really such an, "at home" type vibe -- really though, shout out to the barista who really stands out in treating you like family. They live up to their sign, inside, "Welcome to the family." That's valuable! Overall, I'm super impressed with the service and I'll definitely come back to try another drink and more food. Definitely worth it! I recommend, Justitia's! Thanks for having me. :)

Worth it to have decaf! Anyway, great place for breakfast and work. Thanks guys!

We absolutely dislike salt so we appreciated the unsalted fries. I don't normally order baked beans but didn't want any other sides listed on the menu -- beans did not disappoint! So flavorful and not overly sweet. Super yum! I agree the fries are very good. And the turkey, so tender. I think the only thing is that I am not used to eating room temperature meat. The first bite was warm and then the rest of the turkey was not, losing a little flavor. But honestly, the BBQ sauces are excellent & still worth it. :) I would definitely recommend the root beer! It's like that old school, make ya hiccup kinda flavor -- it's stronger than any root beer I've ever had. It's amazing! Even my dad loved it. I just don't think they make root beer like that anymore. I'm impressed! Overall, the place was clean and the staff were actually cleaning all around us as there weren't many patrons present. The music isn't blaring, which I really like. It's a must chiller ambiance than I thought it would be and I do love the whole counter ordering, set yourself concept. The art on the wall is cool too! Overall, I'd recommend Sugarfire. And I will definitely go back and try more menu items, even the turkey again. Friendly staff, tasty food & drinks, chill atmosphere & very clean. Well done, Sugarfire. Cheers to you & your wonderful staff! Thank you so much.

Everything is often very fresh. If you enjoy very sugary coffee then this place is for you. Hence the name, I'm sure. I've never had a coffee that wasn't overly sweet even when asking for little sweetness. All the food is very good. You can tell the bakery and the made to order food is deliciously made with love! The only thing about this place is the customer service is hit or miss. That's why one star is lost. The man that's working there is always very kind, helpful and welcoming. Most of the young girls that work there are also kind and helpful. But there's a worker there, when I see her I'm automatically nervous and want to make sure I have no extra questions or requests. It's an older lady (possibly an owner or manager). Every interaction with her is often unpleasant, and I'm always made to feel like such an inconvenience for being there. Not sure if it's just my face she doesn't like, or if I just happen to come in on her bad days. This place is cute and great for by yourself mornings or a small group coming together for brunch! It's got yummy food, seating inside and outside. Once your passed the ordering it's a great place to be! EDIT: After receiving the comment from the owner, I'm coming to edit the review. For clearly being verified in the way I was treated. To say "you would NEVER make anyone feel that way" is no longer true because you have made someone feel that way, myself and others in my groups. Ultimately, I did not drag the business and I even came back multiple times before writing the review. I'm sorry, I hurt someone's feelings by being so specific but it truly was the ONLY issue I had with this business. I was truly only trying to give my constructive feedback as an honest reviewer and customer. As a business owner I'm sure it's hard to receive feedback sometimes but, I wasn't looking for anything back, and I still always tipped. I simply was giving feedback so it can be acknowledged and be made better.
