When & Why? That's all I really want to know. When and why did you decide to switch to low cost, low quality ingredients? Was it to improve profits? Surely, surely it hasn't been this way since 1948. I'm rather positive frozen crinkle fries and generic great value patties weren't around back then, Right? You could be so much more. You could be a Wichita milestone. Fresh, local ingredients all around, creamy non powder tasting shakes, etc etc, you could have a loyal fan base that would find themselves happy to support a local business. Anymore you're just a fast food hole that isn't a major corporation with national brand recognition. Burger King? McDonalds? Dog N Shake? Meh. Lets go with the former, their preservatives taste better. You're a step above a tv dinner and a step below mass produced cookie cutter chains. Good Job. If anything, anything at all, I admire your recent trend in offering monthly, limited time only hot dogs. I'm forced to think this idea came from the vast wiener menu offerings at And The Wiener Is. However, thats only going to get you so far. You will run out of ideas, You will run out of clever puns to put on your letter signs. I hope, one day, I actually WANT to eat at Dog N Shake and not for the only reason of breaking up the monotony of the other slop house drive-thrus.

Who cares if you've been in business since 1948 if your food is terrible and overpriced? My wife and I took our two daughters to a Dog-N-Shake near our house. We were very disappointed. The hot dogs "combo" was $4.99 and came with two hot dogs, a handful of fries and a small drink. My wife and I were kind of expecting, you know, good hot dogs at a place whose name implies they know good hot dogs. They don't. The hot dogs they serve here are very, very thing and are not all-beef. Their taste is on par with the hot dogs you get at Wal-Mart for 88 cents for a pack of 8. When asked if my wife wanted "everything" on her dogs, she said yes, thinking "everything" meant the same there here that it does at other hot dog joints -- ketchup mustard, onions, relish and cheese. Nope. "Everything" at a Dog-N-Shake means mustard and a squirt of relish. Our daughters got corn dogs which were $1.99 each and smaller than any corn dog we've ever ordered for them in the past (and they get corn dogs alot). One was overcooked and the breading was pretty crunchy and dark, dark brown. Yuck. I ordered a chicken sandwich combo, which cost five something. What I got was your standard run-of-the-mill restaurant supply bulk-boxed chicken patty on a bun with no toppings. I had to go back up and ask for lettuce and tomato. Nothing spectacular and, once again, overpriced. I'm not sure how Dog-N-Shake has remained in business for so long and been able to open multiple locations. We'll never go again, that's for sure.

Store was clean, staff were friendly (said please and thank you), food was hot, fresh, and came out quickly! When is the last time you could say one of these about a fast-food restaurant in Wichita, let alone all of them? Cost $8.13, less than most fast-food. The burger was good, but a little lower quality than 4 or 5 years ago, but food prices have been skyrocketing and their prices have stayed reasonable.

First time in a Dog-N-Shake (and I grew up here). I gave it two stars because it has friendly staff and it is quite clean. The food is mediocre at best. I ordered a "limited time" fish combo. The fish sandwich was small and needed twice as much tartar sauce. (later in the day I was still hungry for fish and got one at Arby's...bigger, tastier, and cost less). The crinkle fries were dry and crunchy and badly needed some salt. I think I could go to any fast food restaurant in town and get a better sandwich at a lower price. I won't be back.

This place is nothing fancy but what do you expect when you go to a hotdog fast food joint? The food is deliciously greasy and the shakes are sooo yummy! I've been coming here since I was a kid and I will keep it up!

Okay, I'm not going to lie and say Dog-N-Shake is the best thing since sliced bread because even though I love to support local businesses and chains, others are doing similar things better. However, their onion rings are truly to die for, and I consider myself a bit of an onion ring connoisseur. Yum, yum, yum! I dig those crinkle cut fries, too.
