LaLas Roast and Bistro opens in Hillsboro, Missouri [Video]

HILLSBORO, Mo. — Hillsboro-area foodies have a new dining option close to home.

LaLa’s Roast and Bistro, which features sandwiches, soup, salad, flavored coffees, powered drinks and coolers, opened April 3 at 10632 Business 21 in Hillsboro.

Owner Leigha Gaston expects the drive-thru to open this week.

The menu offers six styles of hot sandwiches made with your choice of smoked meat – brisket, turkey or pulled pork. LaLa’s also has six types of cheese to choose from.

Gaston said the restaurant gets its smoked meats from the Hog Call Barbeque catering company.

“They are pretty well known,” she said. “They have a food truck. It’s an old friend of the family. He was already in the business and his (smoked meats) are the best ever.”

Each LaLa’s sandwich is prepared to order.

“I don’t want to sound bougie and say (the sandwiches) are upscale,” she said. “There’s just fresh ingredients on them.”
