Steak & Shake always sounds so good - I mean they have meals under $4 and everything. I do love their fries too. But with Freddy's opening just across the street, I think it's safe to say that whatever we had is finally over - even those fries (or the promise of cheap meals) aren't enough to pull me in any longer.
While they will typically seat you at your table somewhat quickly, the service slows down to a snails pace after that. Getting a menu? Slow. Giving the server your order? Slow. Getting the order? Slow. Getting your ticket? Slow. Paying for your meal? Slow. It takes forever, and each step along the way is like a visit to the dentist.
