This is the way I remember steak and shakes when I first started going to them. I love the eclectic feel here. It’s like a jump back in time at this one. Very retro on the inside. Large and spacious dining room area. All of our food was cooked fresh and hot and tasted great. Very friendly staff and very clean establishment.

Quiet, clean, plenty of free handicap accessible parking. Food was up quickly and correctly. Bathroom was clean and well stocked.

Food was great, you do have to wait a bit for your food because it’s cooked fresh and well worth the wait.

We love Steak and Shake it hard to see that it has changed so much. Menu has down sized but the costumer service was good. The place was empty and they were slow. So the tables should have all been clean but not the case it was hard to find a clean table.

Good place for a quick bite. Burgers are good. I only wish the fries were thicker. Krinkle fries would go great here. Service is always nice and friendly.

I only eat the Cookies N’ Cream Shake and sometimes the Fries and they both taste fine, I like my fries soggy and soft and they did just that. Although, I understand why people hate this one, because the service is kinda bad.

After sitting at table & many eye contacts w/employees. . Thought service sucked. No one said anything after 8 min, finally got to counter only to see the ONLY menu there. Apparently you order/pay there & wait to be called. PUT SIGNS UP, so people know things changed!! But having my food served on a tacobell tray was funny!

The gentleman at the drive window was really pleasant. They made the food to order and in a quick manner.

To add I’ve never written a review for almost anything but I was so offended by this “place” (I hesitate to even call it that) that I decided to write this to hopefully ensure this place changes so no one else will have to go through this horrid experience

This is not a true Steak N Shake any longer. Just because they serve shoestring fries and thin patties does make you true to your name. It is totally self serve and the menu is less than half of a true restaurant. I get inflation and all but you are better off going to McDonald’s or Burger King for this level of quality and options.
