For those of you from the East Coast and the South you should be very aware of Steak and Shake. But for everyone else let me tell you about it. First off, Steak and Shake has the feel of a 50's diner. So right off the bat it is a fun place to go and hang out. No servers on roller skates though, darn. The menu is primarily Burgers, Dogs, Chili and Shakes. There is more, but that is what most of the menu is. The burgers are made of Sirloin Steak. The patties are about 2oz each. So they are thin and have a bit of crunch at the outer edge. The burgers are served medium well. This is a very good burger. The fries are part way between a shoestring and regular sized fry. They have a nice flavor and a good crunch because of their thickness.
The shakes are hand scooped. The combinations of shake flavors is almost limitless. The thing about the shakes that I like the most is that they are twice a large as you would expect them to be. They taste great and have a very creamy
texture. They are also chilled nicely and hit the spot.
The service is fast. They get to your table quickly. They bring the food quickly. The tables are cleared quickly. The only issue I had was that I did not see many smiles on the workers faces. A few, but most did not. You can make the assumptions you want to make about that yourself.
