| - .., another addition to our South Point shenannigans, this Indiana classic has a new found home in Vegas!
My gf Diane would always rave about their 24hr. location when she had gone to school out at the University of Purdue. From my take, Steak n' Shake has a cult following similar to how our local Californian's dig our beloved In N' Out burger.
We had attempted to eat here once before during a previous stay, but the line was "super" long, & we were "super" drunk. Feeling a bit too "super", we continued our blackjack binge before getting something to eat out on the strip, I think?
Then during our last visit, we finally made it our goal to eat here despite the hr. long wait. We lost track of time, given we were in Vegas,but I believe it was late afternoon.
The decor has a rockin' 50's theme w/ checkered tiling, pictures of curly haired Peggy Sue's drinking shakes, & tunes from Fats Domino, Elvis, etc. Once we were seated, we were taken care of immedietely.
I ordered the original cheesy cheddar steak burger along w/ shoestring fries, & a bowl of chili while Diane had their chili spaghetti. The burger itself was delicious. It didn't wow me the way I expected, but it has quality ingredients, fresh produce, & felt like it was made with love. Fries were salty & tasty, but my favorite part of my meal was their chili. That really hit the spot. Diane's chili spaghettie was delicious as well, had a good portion to it & the noodles were on point.
The prices here are pretty cheap for what you'd expect. We paid around $17.50ish for our meal I believe which is not bad at all. My only dissapointment about this location is that it isn't 24 hrs. like the original in Indiana. You would think because it's Vegas & they would make a killing doing so, but it is what it is. Come check em' out!
