| - I can't help but picture eating a steak mid shimmy on the dance floor when I hear the name, but neither of those visualization reflect the modus operandi of steak and shake. Still, in my head it contributes to an overall positive feeling I have for this place.
I've eaten here more times than I really care to admit. I don't want to die young from cardiovascular disease, but I do eat their salad frequently, so that should offset some of the other meals, right (what do you mean it doesn't work that way?)
The things I really dig about this place (besides the ones that occur only in my head) are the consistent quality of the food and the good service. I've probably eaten half the menu (and it's laminated, so you should be impressed). I have liked almost all of it. Philly Burger, yum. Royale, yum, Frisco, yum, Chicken fingers, yum. Chili Mac.........that's more of an acquired taste. All joking aside, the salad really is my favorite thing there and the biggest reason for that is the fresh ingredients. I have paid a lot more to eat much fancier salads at other restaurants and the produce they used was inferior to what I get every time here. The lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots are always incredibly fresh. You can get it with crispy or grilled chicken and it comes with cheese too. If you aren't a fan of super thin fries, you might not love their fries, but they do offer add on's like Parmesan which is cool. Surprisingly for me, their shakes are just good, not great. I mean, it's a shake, so can you really complain? I just personally prefer a more custardy shake with more natural flavors (the apple in my caramel apple shake tasted pretty artificial...if you've had a sonic shake it's more along those lines). That's pretty subjective, though.
The other huge plus here is the price. For dining on the Boulevard (even if it is waaaay down the Boulevard) and in a casino it's super cheap.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your steak(burger) and shimmy on down?
