| - Soapy Shakes sounds like a terrible nickname for an old-school mafia goon, but it actually sums up several of our trips here.
I love a good Frisco Melt. It's pretty much the only reason to go there. I never stray; with a mound of their matchstick fries (the best!), I'm happy. It's just a burger with cheese and what is basically thousand island dressing, served on toasted bread instead of a bun, but it's wonderfully satisfying. This isn't food to eat frequently; it's greasy, and best consumed once in a while and late at night when you have cravings for this sort of thing.
I don't always order a shake here. Their shakes are ok but I'm usually drawn here for salt and fat. However, our friend has now had soapy tasting shakes twice now. He almost always orders a vanilla and the soap flavor seems especially prevalent. I never noticed it in any of mine, but I ordered flavors like the Dark Chocolate and Mint Chocolate Chip, which may use a different machine or something.
All in all, it's a Steak N Shake. It's not exactly haute cuisine. But, for what it is, it certainly satisfies a late night craving.
