| - One of the bonuses (and deciding factors of staying at South Point for a couple of nights) is the fact that they have a Steak 'n Shake. I've heard my friend rave about it, and I've driven by the one in Fredericksburg many times, but had never had the chance to check them out. So when I went out to the casino the next morning around 10:15 to find grub, I decided to patiently wait for their 11AM opening and try it out for myself.
The atmosphere is 50's burger stand/malt shoppe, with a basic menu offering burgers and fries, sandwiches, chili, and (of course) milkshakes. I opted for the 3D Grilled Cheese - sandwich was great, but the grilled, inside out bun was just a tad too greasy for my tastes. I opted for chili cheese fries as the side, and these were excellent. The chili here is unique - it's more of the gently seasoned Midwest style than the spicy Texas style ... but despite their offerings of Chili Mac 5-Way, this is not really Cincy chili. I think it's a better companion for fries than it would be with pasta or as a stand-alone bowl.
The prices here are great ... "gourmet" burger joints are charging 50-75% more for the same quality, and there was no "casino bump" in the prices at the South Point S'nS. I'm excited to take the wife to the one in Fredericksburg the next time we go through, and give some of the other burgers (or the melt) a try.
