Like other theropods in the family Dromaeosauridae, Saurornitholestes had a extended, curving, bladelike claw on the second toe. Saurornitholestes was more long-legged and flippantly built than other dromaeosaurids such as Velociraptor and Dromaeosaurus. It resembles Velociraptor in having large, fanglike teeth in the face of the jaws. Saurornitholestes most intimately resembles Velociraptor, although the precise relationships of the Dromaeosauridae are still comparatively poorly understood.

Similar teeth are established in younger deposits, but whether they stand for S. langstoni or a different, related species is unknown.
