Steak 'n Shake

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: Great food.
Cons: S-L-O-W and variable drive-thru service.

Steak & Shake, the name says it all.

While Steak & Shake sports excellent shakes, very tasty burgers, and a cook-to-order method of delivery, there's a great deal of variability in the level of service one receives.

I'd...

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: Good milkshakes
Cons: So little meat on the burger.

We have frequented steak and shake on occasion, mostly when the kids or my husband wants a good milkshake.

The last time we visited this Restaurant was this past weekend. When we arrived in the Restaurant we stood right in front of the...

Pros: Good food
Cons: Terrible service

We've eaten at Shake n Shake several times.

The last three times we went there, the service was terrible. We thought after the two bad episodes we would try it one more time. Same results! We were seated at a table and there were tables...

Pros: Good Greasy Food
Cons: The Greasy Part

Back in 1999 when I went down to the state track meet I had one of the best eating experiences for a cheap price. It was the second day that I was down there our relay team didn't make it to the second day but one of our runners did. Since we were on a...

Pros: great food, fresh, tasty,good variety
Cons: None where I live now!

I remember eatting at these when I was in college, then I thought they went out of business, but apparently not! We saw them again when we were moving from MI to TX in 98, and decided to try them again--what a treat!

They say their burgers...

Pros: Steakburger and Fries
Cons: Slow service

Don't get me wrong...the steakburgers are the bomb! But the service is a little less than stellar.

I have been to Steak -n- Shake 5 times. And at different locations and also have visited the drive thru. Each time, my single with cheese...

Pros: Family atmosphere, or friends get-together place
Cons: not much choice once you get out of the burgers and sundaes

We were having a particularly rough time with Angelica, aged 2. A very precocious child, too old for her years and very opinionated, she was making us earn our keep as grandparents. She needed a wallop across her butt, but we all know that you can't do...

Pros: Great Food, Inexpensive
Cons: We dont have them in Maryland :(

I have only been to a Steak n Shake twice, while on vacation in Missouri. I wish we had this chain on the east coast, Id be in there all the time, and would probably gain 50lbs too!

I love the atmosphere in this restaurant. Its set up like a...

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: 24 hrs open
Cons: lousy service. Food quality nothing special

Steak and Shake

My brother and I arrived in Steak&Shake at Orange Avenue in the city of Orlando at 1:30 am. The place was clean and just two tables were occupied. After waiting for 5 minutes, the waiter approaches our table and takes our...

Pros: Yummy cheese fries
Cons: SOOOOO SLOWW!!!!

There have been times when I have literally wanted to jump in the back in front of the grill and just make my own burger! As many have already said, this place should be called "Steak and Wait!" Their whole motto of food made fresh is just...

Pros: real service at a fast food restaurant
Cons: I agree it is a bit too Pricey

Here is an inside view of Steak'n'Shake. I am an employee at the S'n'S in Peru. I have always thought the food was great, even before I worked there. That's probably why I had applied for the job in the first place. I understand that it seems to...

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...
