| - So after hearing that Croagh Patricks was out of just about all their food, we were starving and didn't want to sit down at another bar and run up a tab so we decided to run into Steak 'n Shake. Now this is the 1st time I've been to one since 2001, back when it was THE place to hit after many, many drinks. So this time was different, I am now much older, much more sober, and with a well defined palate....ha....perfect for Steak 'n Shake right?
Well the wife went with the double cheese burger, straight up standard version and I went with the Portabello Swiss with mayo. We both opted for cheese on our fries. Well, to be perfectly honest, it wasn't that bad. The mushrooms were fresh, had a little firmness to them, not the soggy mess I was expecting. The meat was seasoned well and tasted really good for a fast food type burger. I normally like my burgers medium but I knew I wasn't getting that here so I just sucked it up and enjoyed my meal. The cheesy fries were small, probably would have preferred larger fries with more content, but the cheese (yellow crack) added that extra kick that makes you feel all better.
So I hate to say it, but I liked my meal, so did the wife. We will consider it again next time we are in a bind and need something quick other then Taco Bell. This location was clean, not very busy, but that was good in a way that we were given full service by the manager, refills and extra napkins without getting up. Way to earn that $8.50 an hour!!
