"I'm not a regular fast-food-plus eater. If I want fast food I go for that and if I want mid-range I go for that. Steak and Shake is neither, it's in the middle somewhere. \n\nEssentially what we have here is expensive fast food. Sure, the quality is a touch higher than the Big Three fast fooderies but perhaps not sufficiently so to warrant the extra cost. Then again, to each his own tastes. \n\nIf you're after a cheap burger, this ain't it. If you're after fine dining, this ain't that either. If what you'd like is a variety of burger options in a reasonably decent setting this they do nicely. \n\nThe shakes are rather tasty and the burgers are indeed a cut above the norm. If you don't mind paying more for what you get and aren't expecting a five-star out of burger joint then you'll be pleased."^^ . . "0"^^ . . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "2015-07-10T00:00:00"^^ .
