Lion's Choice - Chesterfield

Nadine, her daughter (whose name I didn't catch, sadly), and their coworker Mark did a fantastic job serving us with a smile this evening and preparing our meal with gusto and efficiency. Let me explain.

The fries were hot and fresh, the oil they were fried in was easily identifiable as fresh, new or cleaned recently b/c the fries weren't dark brown or overly greasy; they tasted like potatoes...what a concept, right?! But I mean it...I know my Idahoes! Lion's Choice fries are THE BEST FRIES EVER...when the oil is freshly cleaned or new, especially.

The chicken tenders were PIPING HOT and fried to absolute PERFECTION, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, all with a hue of dark to golden brown! They were also less salty than we sometimes notice them being when we eat at other LC locations which will remain nameless so as to protect the guilty parties--they know their names! So...kudos to the Shaker Holder, whomever held that responsibility tonighy knew the secret to ruining a LC chicken tender lies in the fine line of the amount of seasoning the Shaker puts on it! Well done tonight, crew!

Next...the kids meal veggies. Folx, I tell ya what: if you are skipping the veggies, you are missing out on next level raw veggies freshness! I have rarely to never ordered the veggies as a side where those babies aren't the picture of right from the farm! (& when I say we FREQUENT Lion's Choice...I mean 1x/week or more... if I wanna get my Lion's fair share on, we saddle up in thr family wagon and down the street we head! Don't even dare to get me started on the awesomeness of their Loyalty/Royalty Membership...suffice it to say this: delay joining and feel free to miss out on YOUR Lion's share of FREEBIES! Suit yourself...you know the phrase, folx...some people just HAVE TO attend the school of hard knocks.) Now...back to the veggiesI have NEVER had them be shriveled up tomatoes or slimy carrots...nothing worse than that, right? NOT HERE!

And the meal comes with free refills AND crushed ice?! This ranks right up there with QT sodas, ya'll! Options galore. For me, the fact that they have iced tea, sweet AND unsweetened, thank you very much, Coke, Diet Coke, AND Coke Zero? AND they even have lemonade and Vitamin Water...my only desire is to have another sugarless option: how about a Sprite or 7-Up Zero, OR even better yet, how about servin' up some sugar free Lemonade (ask QT where and how to get it) or Root Beer Zero?! Come on, Lion's Choice...hit me up!

Now, sadly, tonight, much to my disappointment, the broccoli cheddar soup was an epic disaster...new recipe, Lion's Choice? Mess up on the line assembling it? Nadine and I pondered the fiasco together. She was phenomenal and personal, and cared to ask why we hadn't brought it back up to them. We didn't want to complain. We just say this: bring back the original recipe! It's soup season, and I LOVE me some LC broccoli cheddar and cannot eat beef, or I'd be all over the chili, which Nadine did offer as a replacement for my soup. I was sad we used my $5 reward for it. It felt like the first loss we have experienced at this location, so is there a wound there? Yes. But we love this place and Nadine and crew, so we WILL BE BACK...perfection is elusory, folx...so keep coming back...Ill see ya there again soon!

My partner and I went to dine in around 7 and the teenage boy at the register who took our order was obviously high and could barely form sentences. He messed up our order. Food was good, but service was disappointing.

I like Lion's choice. And this is the first time that I've suspected this has happened. But we are a family of six. One didn't go yesterday, one doesn't eat roast beef. Four of us ended up waking up almost exactly 12 hours after eating our roast beef sandwiches and spent a significant amount of time in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Now two are missing school and two are missing work. Not 100% sure. I will get roast beef again but maybe my kids are willing to.

Came in thursday night and went through the drive-thru, the girl serving me was SO nice! Tess made my night and is definitely worth the drive here. The food was amazing and perfectly cooked. I asked for some barbeque sauce too and they were really generous with giving me some more! Wait wasn't too bad either

I’ve been by several Lions Choice locations but never stopped. I made it a point to stop the last time I was passing through the St. Louis area. Right around lunch time on a Sunday. Ordered the King meal. Wow, so much flavor in the beef! The fries were good as well. There is an assortment of pump sauces - ketchup, horseradish sauce, tangy bbq, smoky bbq. The au jus/gravy dispenser is a nice touch as well, steaming HOT! I ordered a chocolate milkshake to finish 😬 Friendly staff, I can’t wait to return. Better than Arbys, in my opinion.

Probably some of the healthiest fast food you can get. Great roast beef sandwiches and great fries. Horseradish sauce is really good.

Plenty of young families here enjoying it.

Tiny little cones that are really cute and inexpensive to please the kids and adults.

If you love cold sloppy roast beef with small portions (even if you pay extra for large) this Lion’s Choice is the perfect place. I’m not sure what the lemons looked liked several days go but today they were brown and outta juice, literally!

Chesterfield location service is horrible. The girl that works there is ignorant and disrespectful. She should be fired. Rudest person I have ever met. I will never step foot back in that place. Disgusting

What the hell be wrong with people that work in fast food restaurants? Like food is too expensive to get crappy food. Fries soggy and the grease is old, the meat is overcooked, the food was ice cold but then they wonder why people go crazy. Cook the food right , stop over cooking the god damn roast beef, get fresh grease what the hell is the manager doing . This happens a lot here at this location because my job will order from here. This is so unacceptable. Now I’m at work with this nasty stuff & I can’t leave to take it back.

The only good thing about this place is the young kids that take your money at the damn window. At least they’re nice, but the food is pure garbage. I paid $16 for some overcooked cold roast beef. 😤

Lions choice is almost always good and a family favorite.

Great!

It was delicious. Hot and fresh. Very nice employees.

Everything was made fresh, served hot and tasted great. The staff is super attentive and friendly, they even brought out our desserts to us after we finished our meal. We came from Florissant to get some stuff from the outlet mall, decided to stop in here before heading home. We will definitely be coming back!

No greetings, no smiles, no thank you’s. I asked if they had sweet tea and apparently that was an issue. Asked for ketchup twice because I couldn’t be heard over the AirPods . I wouldn’t even care or complain if my food was good. Asked for Swiss on my sandwich but I just got two small slices of ham on a burnt bun with some room temperature fries.
