| - I've only ever ordered take out from Steak 'n Shake. There is always a line for a table, and I am usually in a hurry or don't have the patience to wait.
I like the concept of SnS. It's fast food, but there are servers inside the restaurant. It's also not only burgers. They have chili as one of their menu specialties - and it's served Cinncinatti style, over spaghetti. I need to go back and try this.
During my most recent visit, I ordered the chicken melt. It was a breaded chicken filet topped with cheese, bacon and tomato and the frisco sauce. This sandwich was only OK - the bread was super buttery (which equals greasy) and the chicken patty wasn't big enough for the bread slices. It came with a side of french fries. Sadly, these were some of the worst fries I've ever had. It was just their standard skinny fries, but they didn't seem fresh and they didn't really have any flavor.
The last time I was there, I ordered the frisco melt. It was pretty good, but also very greasy. I also ordered a shake - which seemed overpriced at $4 for a small. And the shake are WAY too thick. It's impossible to drink and is more of a dessert. Otherwise, the burgers are reasonably priced.
The take out window is great. There are plenty of menus available so you can decide what you want before getting to the front. The service is always fast and friendly, and sometimes they have buzzers to let you know when your order is ready.
Overall a nice place with fast, friendly service. It's something different than the typical fast food. I hope that sometime they open another location locally not in a casino!
