Missouri-based fancy Arby’s fast food chain Archived Message Posted by Blazer on June 9, 2022, 14:44:17, in reply to "What the hell is Lions choice?*" Seems to be growing pretty quick. Seems like suddenly they were everywhere in the STL area a couple years ago, but then covid happened Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message However, Lion’s Choice tastes like Arby’s as I remember it in the 1990s. Though no curly fries which is kind of a deal breaker if what you actually want is Arby’s. Lion’s choice does have potato cakes though. What I miss is Arby’s wild cherry shakes. Previous Message 1) The wagyu burger is good, but overpriced. In other words, it's an Arby's menu item. 2) They were out of curly fries. Disappointing. 3) They no longer offer potato cakes. Devastating.
