WOW! Yes that just about sums it up for this specific location. Steak ‘n Shake is already an awesome establishment and now in UIC making it so much easier to get your favorite selection from their menu. I went with friends and it was very quick service if I must say. We all ordered and had our food within 10 min or less. The staff was very professional as the security was also apart of the team work they had going on. Due to COVID they were taking orders at the door but the service was so fast it didn’t effect the wait time. The food was just as excellent as the customer service. I will most definitely eat here again. Swing by and pick up some of your favorites. Tell em Mr. Brown sent you! #mrbrownsaid #good #googleexpert #googlemap #googlereview #steaknshake

Manager is terrible! I came in to redeem my birthday reward & the manager was texting and on his phone in my face. Walking away taking calls. Saying I wouldn’t be able to redeem my reward. Very disrespectful & unprofessional. He also locked the doors around 930ish telling customers & Uber delivery drivers that he was not accepting anymore orders and to come back in a half hour. The store isn’t supposed to close til 1am. The crew members were complaining, saying his been disappearing leaving two crew members up front & one making orders all on his own. This is UNACCEPTABLE!! & should be handled ACCORDINGLY!! This crew deserves the proper leadership!

I came in on a Tuesday at 7:30pm and got my food within minutes, not sure what the other review meant about having to wait 20 min. Despite not being a full-service location, the burger tasted the same as any other. The fries were not fresh but I think that’s always a toss-up. Good place to get a cheap fast burger in the city

I highly do NOT RECOMMEND this place. Where do you start the staff is very rude . Customer service sucks food is terrible. I bit into a hard cold chicken tender and cracked my tooth what a day! I called to make them aware the fat old man who couldn’t rarely see tried to argue with me that food was cold and it it was the food they had sitting in that basket I wish I took a picture of they should be ashamed of themselves.

Update: This place is off the list. Now along with not that friendly service….they charge for mayo on a sandwich. $.65 and then swear to your face it’s always been there. Margins I get but a swipe of condiment on the line; not a cup not an package but a line item is another reason why THIS business struggles.

I love Steak ‘n Shake, growing up in the south and doing road trips through Indiana to get to chicago. I went here a few months ago for the first time expecting the same flavors and level of quality for a good price and was sadly disappointed. The service wasn’t great and even more so was the burger I ordered. It lacked any flavor I was so shocked! I don’t think I’ll be visiting this location again. I really hope their food and service gets better so I’ll want to come back!

Good came out fast and was up to Steak and Shake quality. This location is more of a fast food location than a sit down restaurant. They do serve alcohol…This is my first of many future trips…

I used to love going here before covid. It used to be so clean, and there was a big variety of food. There were also hats and coloring pages that came with the kids meal. I recently went back, excited since I haden’t been there in a year. I live about 30 minutes away from this restaurant and I thought it was going to be worth it since I get nauseauos in the car. I was so surprised. I have to admit, the new way of ordering was kind of cool, but everything else was horrible. They used to sell chicken tenders and other stuff but now they only sell hamburgers, hotdogs, and grilled cheese. I went to the bathroom and it was disgusting. The toilets looked like they had not been cleaned in MONTHS. I did not take a look at how dirty the floor and tables were until after I ordered. When I actually got the food, it was not even that good. This was a waste of time and money. Worst dine in experience EVER.
