Steak 'n Shake

Pros: great place for a family to go.
Cons: name misleading-really not a steak place at all.

My family and I go to Steak and Shake every few months in various towns. When we're out visiting and see one we usually swing by. It is a neat place for a family to eat. Mom and Dad can sit and be waited on, but kids can get neat desserts and treats.

Pros: Expanded menu, great tasting food, tasty fries, superb shakes and sundaes, prompt and courteous staff
Cons: Drink extra with kids menu. Locations are not nationwide, limited to mid-west generally.

A Miserable Spring Break in Saint Louis, Missouri We planned a 7-day vacation to Saint Louis in May 2005 (Spring Break). St. Louis offered some cool places to visit, among them Magic House (highly recommended for kids, and a couple Fridays a ...

Pros: Open 24 hours, high quality fast food
Cons: Steak patties are thin (get a double!)

Late night food is a necessity in my hectic life, so I was happy to learn that a Steak 'n' Shake would be coming to town. I appreciate being able to choose between dining in and the drive up service 24 hours a day.

Inside, the service is...

Pros: Mike Shakes
Cons: somewhat slow service

ok, I have only been to Steak and Shake a few times but I wish I lived there. I love their food. Their milk shakes are to die for and their chicken tenders are sooo good. McDonalds, eat your heart out.

Steak and Shake is also very original. I...

Pros: clean, friendly, good food
Cons: little cold in the dining room - temperature wise

We eat out at least twice a week and when ever we are near Scottsdale
Mall in South Bend, Indiana we eat at Steak n Shake.
I had given up that I would ever find any restaurant that was capable
of making and serving a malted milk shake...

Pros: the food is great
Cons: they are always busy

I have been eating at steak in shake for many years. In my opinion it is one of the best hamburgers for being in the fast food chains. Everyone of the restaurant's I have been in have been clean. The service was excellent, they were very friendly and...

Pros: choice of fast food besides just burgers
Cons: a little pricey

My first job was at a Steak 'n Shake drive in in the mid 60's. I worked as a "curby". Which meant a waiter who came to your car, took your order and then delivered it back on a tray which attached to your car window. Yes, sounds just like...

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Great food
Cons: A little extreme for a cheeseburger

Steak 'n Shake has been a part of America for a good 70 years. Since the Stock Market Crash, they have been serving America faithfully and over time become a humongous chain of restaraunts. Nowadays the menu has grown greatly and the service has...

Pros: Delicous Food and Great Atmosphere
Cons: Higher Priced

I recently had my first visit at a Steak and Shake restaurant and it was a most pleasant surprise.

I suppose I had preconcieved notions that this would be just another fast food hamburger restaurant.

I was entirely wrong on that...

Pros: Open 24 hours
Cons: Service is often slow

I love Steak 'N Shake, mainly because of the atmosphere. The food is good, and especially their chocolate shakes! But the atmosphere just drew me in. Maybe it was because it reminded me of a 1950's diner, which I thought was neat, or maybe it was just...

Pros: better alternative than McDonalds, Burger King, and other fast food restaurant, en all.
Cons: Few locations

Recently I got to check out Steak and Shake for the first time (Clearwater, Florida location) and in comparison directly to the big boys of fast food (Mickey D's, Burger King, Wendy's, Checker'sRally's, etc -- I don't count Subway or Blimpies because...

Pros: Good Food; Big Menu; Fast; Made to Order; Clean; Smoking Allowed; Carry-Out
Cons: Price; Cash Only; Smoking Allowed; Fries get cold.

I have been a fan of Steak 'n Shake restaurants ever since they built one in my suburban hometown several years ago. Ever since then I've been going there whenever I crave a spicy bowl of Chili Mac or a big chocolate malt. Now I usually go there once...

Pros: open 24 hours a day, those wonderful thin fries, real milkshakes, great atmosphere
Cons: fast service is sort of hard to get

Steak 'n Shake would have to be my all time favorite restaurant. I would say i go there at least twice a week if not more. First off, it's one of the only places that i know that stays open 24 hours around here in St. Louis and that's very important to...

Pros: fast service great food!
Cons: none

I have been eating at Steak and Shake restaurants for many years now, and I still cannot find anyone that can beat their shakes! (not to mention their food!) The Cookies and Cream shake just makes me go wild!!! It is a huge shake and comes with a big...

Pros: Great food
Cons: not cheap, not fast

Steak & Shake is great for when I want a break from the usual rotation of Wendy's, Mcdonalds, Taco Bell, etc. It also makes for a good road stop meal. It is not as economical as the aforementioned restaurants, so I only go every once in a...
