For 8 years I avoided the place until today. I forgot to eat a hotdog on National Hotdog Day...or...more accurately hadn't realized it even WAS National Hotdog Day...or...still more accurately hadn't known that National Hotdog Day existed...ANYWAY.\n\nI went to Steak 'n Shake (why is there only one apostrophe? shouldn't it be 'n'? Or does it not work that way) to belatedly celebrate. I ordered a foot long chili cheese dog complete with onions. Screw my coworkers, I thought, it's National Hotdog Day. Sort of.\n\nI used the drive-thru. Something must have gone \"wrong\" inside. The line sat still for 5...then 10 minutes. Finally we moved. Hotdog wasn't a footlong, but of course, it was too late when I unwrapped it at work to rectify THAT problem. It tasted okay. Paid for a footlong, ate a regular hotdog. Waited in line for \"fast\" food way too long. \n\nThe girl at the window was apologetic about the wait. I thanked her for her courtesy. But it'll be another 8 years at least before I go back.\n\nI rarely rate anything 1 or 5 stars. But the \"I've experienced better\" that yelp defines as two stars is WAY overstating my only two experiences here. \"Eek! Methinks not.\" is much more appropriate."^^ . . . "0"^^ . "1"^^ .
