I woke up yesterday morning with three words on my mind: "STEAK AND SHAKE."
Working across the street from this location, I was getting a little worried (okay, a lot worried) as the morning dragged on and my inbox became flooded with the e-mails of equally concerned co-workers panicking about the long line that was building up ahead of the grand opening. I work with quite a few people from the east coast, who had been telling me nothing but good things about the Steak 'n Shake chain ever since we found out one was opening on Mill. Luckily, once doors opened at 11 the line moved through quite quickly and me and my equally hungry coworkers had a window to grab our long-awaited fast food before the next wave started around noon.
I ordered the Original (it being opening day and my first time at a Steak 'n Shake, I had to go with the signature) with fries and a Cookies and Cream milkshake (trust me, you'll want to order the milkshake). Within ten minutes, my burgers and fries were gone and I was onto the milkshake. Hey, I'd pretty much been hungry all morning and the panic about the line didn't hurt.
I'd say this is comparable to an In 'N Out, but with a slightly pricier menu and more selection. I'm sure opening day won't be anywhere close to the last time I order from here.
