The diamond lounge changed since Sandypaws was there happened a couple of months ago, and not for the better unfortunately. They now have a menu service with apps, salads, and sandwiches. You can choose one item OR a half of two different choices. So... a whole sandwich (comes with chips) OR a half salad and half sandwich, etc...
The food is free as well as soft drinks, they charge for alcohol due to Mo state law requiring this. The cost is nominal, I think a buck for a beer. You can use TR points to pay for drinks.
The salad bar with the cheese & crackers & other snack foods is loooong gone. It's a shame as the sandwiches aren't that large and it would be nice to have a salad bar to go along with them.
However, if you like french dips and blue cheese, they have a hot sandwich, the beef & blue, that is absolutely to die for. Never any fat at all, meltingly tender, the au jus is outstanding, love the blue cheese on it. No question the best sandwich I've ever had and I order it every time!
It is a really nice diamond lounge, although downgraded from before. They used to have the best fried chicken dinner ever on Sunday nights, we were quite spoiled!
