I was first introduced to Steak 'n Shake when I moved to St Louis more than 40 years ago. When looking for lunch here in Pittsburgh, I saw Steak 'n Steak and suddenly had a desire to try their chili 5 ways again.
The Chili 5 Ways tasted as I remembered it but it was lukewarm and had to be reheated. When it was reheated, it was perfect - cheesy and with loads of that chili flavor. Satisfying, comfort food.
My waitress was friendly and attentive. I was served quickly. The store seemed clean and was bright with the early spring sun.
Visiting this restaurant was pure nostalgia. I won't need to do this again anytime soon. I'm sure the chocolate coke spiked my sugar and I don't ever need to do this again.
