| - You know this place is sort of touch and go. One of my all time favortite foods is simple chili. When you get it while eating inside steak and shake does a really great job. When you get it to-go though it's another story, like tomato concrete maybe. Maybe it's the accountability to quality when ordering in house, who knows!? The burgers are always pretty reliable and high end for the fast food market. Lots of variations on the classic burger also, which rotates semi-seasonally.
The milkshakes are sensational! I remember this last christmas they had a candy cane milkshake! I was so excited, it was amazing.
One other signature here are the fries. They're a run of the mill fry, but extremely long and slender, almost like straws. Next time I'm in I'll snap a photo for you guys on the droid.
One other nice touch is when ordering in, you get a waitress which is odd but great for a restaurant with such a low price point.
Robert Ebert was quoted saying steak and shake would be his preferable meal before death. While I think he's bats*** crazy for saying this it beats McDonald's, and I will continue to return when in a pinch. Worth trying out. 3 stars
PS- Apparently they have a 4 dollar all you can eat pancake breakfast, I sooo need to check that out, and you should too. Also if your a kid, or even not you get a free steak and shake paper 50 style hat! Who wouldn't want that! Just ask for one.
