| - My friends are in LV for the CES and asked for suggestions on a new place to try. I heard about this new restaurant chain opening up and offered it up as a recommendation. So that was how we came to check out Steak 'n Shake, located in the South Point Hotel & Casino. It is located near the escalator to the theater, or just ask a South Point employee for direction and keep an eye out for the long line of people waiting to be seated.
The wait to be seated was just about 30 minutes for lunch on a Friday, which was very good compared to the 1 hour wait I heard others having to put up with to try the food at SnS. And our servers were great. Both were very professional, efficient, and friendly.
Since we have 5 in our party, we were able to ordered 5 different hamburgers and 2 hot dogs.
The Blue Cheese Bacon Burger - Good flavor, not that much blue cheese, a pretty good burger.
The Grilled Portobello n Swiss Burger - Patty was juicy, decent amount of mushrooms.
Guacamole Steakburger - Not that much guacamole, besides that the burger was good.
Spicy Chipotle Steakburger - Has a slight spicy kick, but nothing a non-wuss can't handled.
Wisconsin Buttery Steakburger - Probably my favorite burger that we ordered. The onions was good and the beef patty was juicy and flavorful.
My only complaint is that the french fries that dominate the bulk of the plate real estate is just not that good. It is cut smaller than the regular french fries, fairly crispy, but just don't feel like it is as good as other french fries (think McDonald's).
The hotdogs we tried was just okay at best. The portions is just like the regular hot dogs you can buy in the grocery store, except you have the pick of different toppings.
Chicago-Style Steak Frank - nice combination of toppings. Would order again, if you have the option to not have to get the fries.
Coleslaw Steak Frank - Coleslaw was nothing special and there was just about 1 tbsp worth on the hot dog. Worth the $4.99 price tag??? Definitely not, especially if you can get $0.75 hot dogs from South Point.
Milk Shakes - overall it was very good. Good portion and taste.
I also don't like having to wait in line again to pay for your meal, especially after having to wait a long time to just get seated. Overall, the food quality is like food at most fast food restaurants, except the time required to finally get your food disqualifies Steak 'n Shake from the fast food restaurants classification.
Food - 3/5 (1/5 for the fries).
Service - 4/5
Price/Value - 2.5/5 (if you can't get full on the burger, which is not all that big, there are plenty of petite cut french fries to fill your tummy)
Location - 2.5/5 Unless you live near South Point, it will be a decent amount of drive time. If you are a tourist without a car, it is definitely not worth the cab fare.
Overall 3/5 at best.
