    Food was good but the restaurant and men's restroom was pretty dirty. Also, we paid for cup of cheddar cheese but is was only half full and barely any fries.

    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).

    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.

    Burnt bun. 4/25/20 @3:30pm.

    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!

    King Beef with hair

    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.

    "King" size sandwich meal.

Listen, st louis has no shortage of sandwich shops, so to be successful you need to offer a unique enough product that is still approachable, and reliable. Big mouth has mastered the game. The menu is inundated with options inspired by tried and true classics. However, they do not stop there. Each sandwich is inventive enough to create some separation from it's origin. This keeps the experimenters happy, while also catering to the more tame of tastebuds. I went prosciutto. It was incredible. Thin pear, whipped ricotta, pesto, and that salty, thin prosciutto. Every bite gave me a little something different. Some bite had a big crunch full of juicy pear accentuated by the tang of balsamic. Others had a bit of sweetness from the sugars released in the pear juice and caught by the vibrant pesto. Some bite were buttery, with the help of the prosciutto sliced thin enough to read all of the perennial accolades adorning the back wall. The focaccia is art. A dark crust, one you do not see on focaccia. With mega flakes of sea salt. It was fresh out the toaster so as i gripped my sandwich warmth was sent from the tips of my fingers throughout my body as every bite delivered a crunch i am certain the folks dining outside could hear. A legit option in a city with limitless options when it comes to meat between bread

The sandwich was incredible in every way from the super piled on ingredients to the fluffy crisp bread. It's all tucked inside of a loft apartment building so the view of this place is sort of hidden. (In a good way.) Sort of feels like you've jumped from south city into a private beer club with great sandwiches. The outside seating is nice too. Would be a great place to bring some upper scale friends. Nothing here is cheap, so please don't come if you're expecting cheap! I highly recommend it.

First of all, I knew I was doing well because of the traffic coming in and out while I waited (ever so briefly) for a table. I wanted that delicious St. Louis style pizza, and Liliana's delivered on my expectations. The cheese was perfect, the toppings exactly as I would hope, and it did not hurt that I had some leftovers. I also ordered a Caesar salad and a House red. So many places under-deliver on Caesar salads these days that I tend to be cautious when ordering. This one was delicious. It hit all the high notes. As for the ambiance, the dining room could've walked right out of the 70s, plopped itself down in 2026, and manage not to look out of place. Service was spot-on, the food did not take too long, and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening. Next trip tom St. Louis, I'm stopping here again!

Inside it was pretty dark despite it being a sunny day.... There is a total vibe Service was good and efficient.

It was everything I wanted it to be: warm, flavorful chicken, garlicky, and cheesy with some fresh veg. It came with a side of chips, so I put a few on the panini for a nice crunch. I was a little overwhelmed walking in to the small-ish space, full of people and music (great music!). I saw a sign that said to take a seat, so I did and a nice gentleman brought me water.

We chose Salt + Smoke because it was nearby and usually BBQ is pretty doable for her. When we got to our table, we were both amazed that Salt + Smoke has a FULL allergen-friendly menu, not only gluten like many places will have nowadays. And our server was super patient and understanding of our needs as well. GF was able to easily select an entree and sides that she could safely enjoy, including the amazing deviled eggs. When our entrees came out, they were amazing also -- I highly recommend the brisket grilled cheese and the popovers. We both had plenty of leftovers for another meal too.

Anyone that's ever won something in a team setting knows how hard it is for a team to mesh, play together, learn from one another, etc. It's not something that's done over night. It happens in the offseason, during two-a-days, and at 6pm during the evening rush on a Friday night. I'm not saying salt + smoke couldn't win a championship right now. They have the makings of a great team. They just haven't learned to play together. Ribs falling off the bone, that's your quarterback. You want a guy that will take a swing on a deep ball without barbecue sauce. Fatty brisket, that's your left tackle. You expect them to be the saving grace of a meal through consistency and flavor. But don't forget how important coaching is. You can't just have talented players. You need more salt and less smoke. It's called accountability. Now I say this all to say that my 1.5 year old toddler ate more food than she'd eaten the last week. As a dad, if she's happy, I'm happy. So, I'd recommend to any family. But as a yelp elitist, I'd wait a little longer for the team to become championship caliber.
