The Good: It's one of the few places that is open 24 hours. This can be pretty scary at 3 a.m., but it's nice to know you have more than just Denny's as an option. Frisco melt has always been a favorite of mine, chili cheese fries- obviously the steak burgers and the milk shakes, for name's sake. They offer so many flavor combinations it's hard to decide on one- chocolate + banana, chocolate + peanut butter...
The Bad: I never could understand why it took so long to make a milkshake. I mean, it is what these people are famous for. I have never ordered a milkshake and had it delivered to my table in less than 15 minutes any time I've ever been to any Steak N Shake. The food is bad- not literally, but for you and even though you may feel happy and content eating it, that feeling won't last for too long once you have finished your meal. The food will congeal into a mass of grease and dairy in your stomach and you won't be able to move.
The Ugly: While I do like the food- in a horrible, bent on self destruction, need to eat the worst thing for me kind of way- there's something about eating in this location that makes me feel like I'm dining in a port-o-potty. Like everything is covered in germs. The smells in that place can only come from mopping with a filthy mop and dirty water.
My advice- use the drive thru!
