I've been going to this Steak N Shake location ever since I was a young teenager. The place has sentimetal value; it's where my friends and I always went after high school dances. I only go there now for the cheese fries because I adore anything smothered in cheese. No matter what time of day you go, the service is SLOW...and by slow, I mean slower than a turtle with a limp. The burgers always fall apart, so I usually just stick to cheese fries and sometimes a milkshake (the orange shakes are pretty good). Basically, it's the middle of the night "I'm too drunk to care about quality and service" type of food.

The Steak N Shake is one of the places our family will get together for burgers, fries and (OF COURSE) a shake after we've been shopping or to a movie at the $2 Show. Both the burgers and fries are tasty but their shakes are exceptional and the hard part is deciding which flavor you want to order. It's a fun place for kids of all ages and has the feel of an old fashioned 50s place. My favorite shake is still chocolate but once in a while I go for strawberry. There are also a lot of specialty shakes with flavors like Butterfinger or Mint cookies and cream. I like the Frisco Patty Melt and I like the Double Steak Cheese Burger. Both are served with generous portions of skinny-cut crispy french fries. There are also lots of other traditional fast-food type foods like chili mac and chili cheese dogs and cheese fries, chicken sandwiches and even a couple of salads. But my feeling is pretty much IF YOU WANT SOMETHING HEALTHY or GOOD FOR YOU...what are you doing at Steak N Shake?

This was my first time to a Steak and Shake. We had purchased a $10 gift certificate for $4 through an internet promotion so we decided it was about time to try this place out. The restaurant needed to updated. There was no hiding that this place has been around for a while. Overall it has some charm. It is like an old 50's diner. I was dissapointed that the drink station was out in the open so when the staff walked behind the row of cups they started talking like we couldn't hear them, but they were still in plain sight and we could hear every complaint they had about each other, about the customers, about everything! The peanut butter cup shake was good. It was thick, but not so thick that I couldn't drink it through a straw. I got the Spicy Chipotle Burger which was good, but nothing special. You would think something with the words spicy and chipotle both in the title would at least pack a little bit of heat. My 1 year old nephew could have eaten that without breaking a sweat! I'll probably try a Steak and Shake again...but maybe not this one. When my mom's glass of water started leaving black rings on the table and she pointed it out to our waiter he said he would wipe it off....then asked if she wanted a new glass, or if wiping it off would be enough? Water glasses shouldn't leave black rings on the table!

Even though we've been here quite a few times in the past year, I have yet to experience the bad service and food some of the other reviewers are talking about. This is one of me and my son's go to spots when mom is out of town. Good variety of burgers and other sandwiches, hot dogs, salads etc. Always tasty and hot. Service isn't always the fastest but it's always friendly. The place isn't always the cleanest but it's never horrible. If you've ever been to Golden Corral, this place is immaculate. For all of you who are never going back, thank you! That's just an open table for us! Oh yeah, they have great shakes, too. If you're expecting a fine dining experience, this isn't the place you're looking for. If you're wanting a good burger and fries with a tasty shake for cheaper than the fast food joints in town, stop on in.
