It's a jazzed up Italian beef it came with their special house sauce, Swiss cheese, pickles, grilled onions and more. This is a small spot that also does the long party subs and catering. As I sat down to eat to flavor was good. The special sauce threw me a bit. It was just that it was a different taste than a normal Italian Beef. The fries were salted well and had a nice crispness to them. If I was back in the area I would stop again.

Not sure why I never knew of this place. Lived in Glenview for over a decade in late '80's-90's…read more Been here since '67. First visit I had the delicious Italian beef, dipped hot. Very meaty sandwich either 6" or 9". Make it a bomber with Swiss, pickles, onion and special sauce my next visit. New location at 1880 Glenview Rd is currently under construction likely opening 2026.

The team is constantly circling the restaurant to make sure tables are cleared and food comes in a timely manner. We had people with allergies at the table and the team was accommodating and our food had the allergy labels in them. The team was very professional and kind! Food was so good! Everything over all was delivery but some highlights from the shared dinner were the eggplant spread, the brussel sprouts, and date cake. Warmed pitas were seasoned well and texture was fluffy but not too soft where it wasn't able to hold its shape. I could have the sweet potatoes latkes everyday! The lamb ragu hummus and short rib were good but we found the actual protein was a bit dry and flavor subdue compared to their accompaniments. The spicy brisket kabobs were good but we were stuff so we had to slow our roll. The Date cake was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness for those both sweet lovers and non lovers! 10/10 recommend. We'll be back for brunch sometime!

Review of Frozen Greek Yogurt w/ California olive oil & sea salt only…read more Tastes exactly as advertised. The whole combination is very new to me and even though it won't be a craving, I enjoyed it. I think that even if it's not for you, it should be acknowledged it was executed well. Memorial weekend deal of $1 is not something most restaurants are willing to do and and honestly deserves points. No issues with service.

Last night I saw that they had tilapia…read moreon their menu now I am brand new to fish and I'm trying different ones but I usually only get those from Bob chins I really thought OK I have to try it. OMG I was beyond pleasantly surprised whoever cooked that fish last night and whatever recipe they used it is a rockstar. It was so good and I reheated the leftovers tonight and it reheated amazingly they had just enough of the sauce in the container that allowed me to reheat it I added a little butter. I am absolutely 100% blown away. I was skeptical, but I'm so glad that I chose to order it. I love that I can order good fish right down the street from my house and not having to drive all the way to Bob chins. To the chef that cooked this at Dengeos chefs kiss I cannot say enough good things about this. The flavor was perfect not one single bone and I loved it from the first bite to the last bite the next night and thank you for putting enough of the sauce in there that I'm able to reheat it beautifully I definitely will be ordering this again thank you thank you thank you. And to Dengeos management whoever that chef was absolutely needs a piece of Portillo's chocolate cake and a balloon because that was phenomenal.

I love the chicken kabobs or the Greek salad with shrimp, both are fresh and flavorful every time. The lemon soup is also delicious. We've catered before and it was easy and a big hit. My husband is a fan of the skirt steak sandwich and the gyros. Overall, they make everything easy and convenient, and I really appreciate the pickup window, such a bonus when you're on the go. They also do a great job with upkeep, constantly wiping down tables, which we really appreciate.

Interior- plenty of seating. Basic decor but very clean.

I've never been so confused at an eating establishment…read more There are dogs. I like dogs...I have a dog...but do they never accidentally pee or poop inside? Menu is really big, a bit too many options so I had to stare at it for quite a while. Food is decent. I had a Chicago style dog and chili cheese fries. My son had a cheeseburger and fries. We had two fountain drinks. The total was $40. Inflation or are these particular prices unreasonable? I don't know, but $40 for a burger, a Chicago style hot dog, two fries (to be fair, one was chili cheese fries), and two fountain drinks seems excessive. Service was pleasant. I could see how the concept works for dog people who are dog crazy. Again, food is decent, prices high, service pleasant, decor and concept a bit confusing.

The clerk told us to use the kiosk right away with no greeting, which felt a little cold. The sandwich was $13 and worth it, but it would've been nice if fries were included.

Neither was the case, and it was instead an above-average fast food experience. Now... do you remember when the fries at McD's were actually worth raving about? Yeah... it was likely when they were cooked in beef tallow, as opposed to oil with beef flavor added (really!). I don't buy into the belief that one must go after seed oils with torch and pitchforks, but I do love a darn good fry, and Steak 'n Shake delivered! They were hot, fresh, and well seasoned. The burger itself was respectable as far as fast food goes. It was cooked fresh and assembled with care. The meat was well seasoned, and the veggies gave a good balance in terms of freshness. While the smashed patties didn't have the lacy crisp edges a next-level smashburger does, it's fast food, so I'm not going to hold it against them (I may be tough, but I am reasonable!). It did take a hot minute for the food to come out, but I was not in a hurry, and I want to recognize that everything appeared to be cooked fresh to order. It was very quiet at the time, so please be aware that during a busy time, YMMV. Finally, the service was perfectly polite and friendly. Final verdict: Steak 'n Shake has by 'good' by definition burgers. Where they shine, though, is the fries, and not for a lack of seed oils, but for being hot, fresh, and flavorful! Thus, we are left with a place that is not a destination, but one to visit when I am in the area craving a superb fast-food fry!
