In Short
Entering the clean, bright interior is like stepping into an "Archie" comic book. Hurrying across white- and black-checkered floors, staff in crisp white shirts and paper hats take orders, polish chrome and shuffle between booths and the full-service counter. Middle-American diner standards dominate the menu--pickle-covered steak burgers, chili cheeseburgers and thick shakes. Healthier options include chicken, chef and taco salads.

Great food, very slow service

by marx226 at Citysearch

I don't know where everyone else is getting this "good service" from but the past 3 times I have been there the service has been very slow. My friend didn't even get his milkshake until the waitress brought us the check!

The food is great as always though and I love going there around 1 or 2 AM with a few friends.

• Pros: Great food, open very late, friendly employees
• Cons: Slow service, thin and soggy fries

Best Burgers Bar None

by rickylisa13 at Citysearch

I have traveled throughout the East and South. Never have I found a better hamburger than at Steak 'n Shake. It is consistent quality, no matter what state you are in. Their sides are sometimes lacking. I do like shoestring fries, that isn't the problem. The sides are simply average. Of course, the chili is extremely good but fried, baked beans, etc. are not to the same level of quality that the burgers, chili and shakes are. However, overall, I have NEVER had a bad experience at a Steak 'n Shake. Service is always prompt, restaurants clean, people friendly. Not to degrade McDonald's, Burger King, Hardee's and that type of restaurant but they are not on the same level. Not to say that there is anything wrong with fast food (certainly I eat it) but to compare Steak 'n Shake to a fast food restaurant would be like comparing Outback Steak House to a local street hot dog vendor.

• Cons: No big tables for large groups.

The best!!

by katiesmom at Citysearch

I think Steak 'n Shake should be rated a little higher because I think they are much better than McDonald's. McDonald's fries are only good when they are piping hot (which is rare) and Steak 'n Shake's are made fresh when they're ordered and don't have to sit for minutes at a time under a heat lamp. Hats off to Steak 'n Shake for the best in my opinion!!

steak 'n shake rocks

by jcozee at Citysearch

As a kid i looked forward to when mom would bring me here. Nothing was better then a bowl of chili 3 way and an order of awesome shoestring french fries. As an adult I miss living in a state that has a steak 'n shake and look forward to visiting states that have them! There fries absolutely rock and are great with all there meals.

Everyone

by nathan_4004 at Citysearch

Everyone but dreaming demon & martorious get a big fat 0... You people fail to help anyone you'd rather complain about your own personal preferences than help other people...If the service was good and the food was good then give a good reveiw... Not everyone like steaks fries... My experiences with Steak & Shake... Were nice, good service, and the resurant was clean...

Hahahaaaa!

Who voted for this? I don't like shoe string fries. S&S needs steak fries to go with their steak burgers. But come to think of it, practically none of their sides are good.

frenchfries?

by sallyfaye02 at Citysearch

surprised that these were identified as "french" fries! They have no taste, are too small, and you have to put at least 5 in your mouth at one time to taste anything at all.

Nice Hats!

Retro style diner. Fast food with wait staff convienence. Diverse menu to please even the pickiest eater (excellent chilli w/ cheese!). Very kid friendly, highly recommended for a casual outing with family. Be sure to hit an ATM before dining, they only take cash.

• Pros: Quick service, Friendly staff, open 24/7
• Cons: Cash only
