| - This place was not off the chain. Pardon the pun, but I wish the CU area had more non chain restaurants like where I grew up in the 'burbs. I love small business...I guess Obama doesn't (STOP TAKIN' MY RIGHTS). I am being facetious of course, but I digress about the POTUS.
Anyway, I arrived on a Friday night just to hang out and chill (hopefully not see any students of mine). There are multiple reasons; I am a PE teacher who usually stays on track with nutrition, students are generally awkward in social settings, and I just wanted to read my MH Magazine.
I went with the single steak burger meal (for under $4), but I substituted the chili (with ONION AND JALAPENO) instead of the fries so it ended up not being one of the featured under $4 meals. I also got a chocolate shake and would have added more (like Butterfinger or Oreo), but I wanted to tip my server pretty well. For under $15, I tipped 30%, got a burger, chili, and some fries.
I hate reviewing chains, but it seems CU only has them. I feel like Steak N' Shake is a bit nostalgic. Went there a ton growing up after dentist appointments in Tinley Park, in high school (one time we stiffed our server; he was awful, but I was just a punk HS kid...one of the biggest regrets of my life...no joke), and on a "road trip" with some of my best high school friends on the way to Cincy to watch the White Sox. Steak and Shake and I have shared some memories, but I cannot say they were steak-tacular like some of the local joints in the 'burbs I've been too.
Hahah
