The first thing that stood out was this Steak 'n Shake still has servers taking your order and you don't have to order at their kiosk. Hooray! I ordered a double steakburger with cheese and an Oreo milkshake. The steakburger came out hot but a little greasy. The milkshake was incredible and extremely filling. Excellent service! read more

Steak ’n Shake - sadness - Fast Food Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

Usually a pretty nice Steak N Shake but not this visit. It is Easter and they close early which I agree 100%. Place order on app to be picked up at 6. Order was missing food, fries were cold and hard as rocks. Been there several times and always a great place but not this time. read more

Royal burger is one of my favorite burgers, and breakfast platters also. Thank you Steak & Shake!

Good nothing to write home about it's fast food can't expect much they do keep the inside clean which is nice compared to other fast food places. read more

Get better management and fire a bunch of people who don't want to be there. 3 out of the 4 tables that was around ours they got the orders wrong. It took over an hour to get a salad and a hamburger. The waiter didn't even have an order pad. He was writing on the back of a silverware bag. The chicken salad had maybe 3/4 of a chicken strip on it and my husband's burger was a litter bigger than the size of a slider from White Castle. read more

When we pulled into the parking lot we were surprised at the large # of cars. Indicating good food, popular place. We had a bit of a wait to be seated and when we were approached, the man seating us did not make eye contact was dirty and unkept. This set an immediate unpleasant tone to our visit. We were however waited on by a pleasant nicely kept young lady. The food was good but The "Face" of Steak 'n shake should be a welcoming well kept person. To set the tone to a good dining experience from beginning to end. read more

Enjoy the dine in experience here with all the staff being very friendly and accommodating. Happy this place is close to our new place we now call "home." read more

Steak ’n Shake - The best burgers around, in my opinion - Fast Food Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

not 24 hour, not even open late, lucky to get something by 9 yelp needs to update the only 24 hour is Taco Bell.

Of all the restaurants in the area to go to lunch, my son routinely asks to come here. And it's not a surprise really. Their comfort style chili and burgers are always a treat. I love to see how this restaurant offers up great breakfast, lunch, and dinner treats for a reasonable price. Beyond the restaurant itself, there are a ton of behind the scenes things this restaurant does for the community. They are avid supporters of the local high school and community with frequent donations to events and charitable causes. The owners are from the area and have roots here that expand well beyond the walls of this restaurant. From a restaurant operations perspective, this restaurant has been able to maintain a consistent performance and experience that far exceeds what I've experienced with any other Steak 'n Shake. There is a pride that comes through and it shows. read more

Steak ’n Shake - a man standing in front of the counter - Fast Food Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

The service and food is absolutely horrific. Both day shift and evening shift. When you walk through the door and wait to get sat, it's awkward. It's like no one wants to take initiative to acknowledge the guests standing at the door. The managers just stand around and talk loudly about their personal lives and then fraternize with the employees, isn't that frowned upon? I could barely eat my garlic burger while listening to this pregnant manger talk about her "sex life" to I'm assuming another manager. I don't want to hear about that crap, especially while my FAMILY and I are eating! What is it going to take for this place to get back to the way it was back in 2015? When the service was speedy, and wonderful, and the management and staff actually cared about the guests and guest satisfaction. The ambiance is appalling, highlighting the remark I stated before, I shouldn't get stared down with disgusted and annoyed looks, because guests want to come in and eat. I miss Kristy, Britney, Vickey & Brandie, and when Rena was out front with the dining room. The general manger Tommy needs to be replaced asap, he doesn't make guest connections whatsoever, and yells at the servers.. He gives off major creeper.. this place has gone down hill so fast it's ridiculous. read more

My friend and I went there at least 3 times in past month and each theme is worse than before. We work in the area and this is a quick place for lunch but Heaven help them they cannot get an order correct. Each time you order you must say it at least 4 to 5 times to make sure they understand. Then when you get to window most times the order is not right ,the drinks are not marked and the ast time we went they smashed all our food into a tiny little bag. Orders we,fries for 3 of us in a bag big enough to hold maybe a burger and fries. Went we got back to work it looked like someone had sat on our food. I love Steak N Shake but come on get with the program either pay these people more money or just flat out CLOSE UP. THE SERVICE IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE AND THE FOOD IS GETTING TERRIBLE. read more

This location is open for dining which was a relief since I was on the way back home from vacation. I was seated right away and my drinks were ordered quickly. However, my cup had lipstick on it and my server was unorganized with coming back and taking my order. I don't recommend getting a cup that needs to be washed since protocols are not being taken seriously even after COVID. read more

We like to eat at Steak and Shake because they have good food and are reasonably priced. But, and it is a big but, why don't they keep the bathrooms clean? I can't tell you how many times a meal has been destroyed because of having to visit a smelly bathroom. An automatic air freshener is not expensive. read more

Recently ate here. After my wife finished half her plate she found numerous hairs on her plate and in her food. The manager did comp the meal but didn't offer to replace her dish, so we had to go elsewhere. After this incident we noticed 3 of the 4 cooks on the line didn't have hairnets and no one had beard guards. Disgusting. read more

We are visiting Farmington again and looked forward to Steak N Shake. We live in California and they are just starting to get them, but still 100 miles from me. YUMMMY.... read more

Probably visited this Steak 'n Shake for the last time tonight. Lukewarm chili & burger and stone cold fries was the last straw. I hate it, because we've always loved S'nS and so many St. Louis area locations have shut down. The service was on the slow side, but our waitress apologized for that. read more

We came in for a quick lunch and was there for an HOUR AND A HALF beifre out meal was brought to us. The people two tables over sat down 20-30 minutes after us had their meal way before us. As a child I came here all the time. All I have to say is the waiters are rude and are inconsiderate. read more

As an Angeleno my heart belongs with In n Out, but this place really makes a righteous burger in its own right. Simple ingredients, well prepared is the secret to their success. It really is a terrific burger. Add in the crispy thin fries and a shake and I'm in heaven. I never miss this place and frequent several times each visit to my old stomping grounds in High School. Its such a treat. Be forewarned. The place is so popular that there are waits during peak dining periods so if you are in a hurry this isn't the place to be. If you can wait, the burger is worth the reward for your time spent in line. I'm really surprised by the negative comments about service. Even with peak crowds they are fast and really FRIENDLY moving out the food fast and furious to the ravenous customers. read more

If you're looking for a cold burger and stale fries with little to no seasoning, then Steak 'n Shake is the place for you. Never have any luck getting a good burger going thru the drive thru. If you sit inside, you'll watch your food sit under a heat lamp for a good 20 minutes. They definitely need to work on better service. Used to love eating there but it's going down a steep, steep hill. read more

As far as a burger joint is concerned this place's burgers drinks and shakes rock, I see a few bad reviews on here about the service but the day we went nothing bad happened everyone was quite nice the place was clean and moving, my burger came out looking nice and our wait time was on point as well. My only problem was that my burger disappeared too fast because it was so delicious! I'm not expecting a great deal from a little place like this but nothing was out of the ordinary or the reasonable and thus the food and service combined are a solid 4 each. I've had better burgers but this is still a dang tasty burger joint. I'd love to see one in L.A. too... But one can only dream. read more

Steak ’n Shake - customers in a restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Farmington, Missouri

I'm from Cali no steak and shake close by We have in& out... Not at all alike. The price, the burgers, the shakes. The shakes are the best.the real thing. Burger full of flavor. read more

Usually the food here is great. Service was horrible. We waited a really long time for our food and then it was cold. The waitress blamed the cook but since the food was cold, I'm thinking it was her poor service. I was very disappointed with service there today. read more

The service was terrible. We were waited in by & manager & the service was still terrible! I personally like the Steak & shake chain, but this location needs a lot of work. Not impressed. read more

As Steak 'n Shakes go, this one seriously trails the rest of the chain in service. Slow to be seated followed by indecision and illogical placement. While the serving staff is friendly, 60% are inexperienced and are still being helped/bossed around by their manager. This lack of autonomy among the servers is likely not their fault but the very fact that this reeks to the point of unsubtlelty makes for an awkward dining experience. Most of the time it's even hard to tell if the server or the manager is going to get the tip. One redeeming factor is that there is nothing exceptional about the taste of the food; not on the good or bad end of the spectrum. That being said, you get the baseline quality you'd expect from Steak 'n Shake foods, which is more than can be said about the aforementioned half of the dining experience here. If you like their shakes and burgers and don't care one way or another what hoops and time intervals you will go through to obtain this food, then you're in the right place. I end up here because there are certain foods I wish to eat and prices I wish to pay, regardless of the negatives. I have not lost faith in this place as it serves its mentioned purpose, but I do wish to see more independence and skill in the servers and less invasiveness from management. Fortunately, this is mendable. Good luck, Farmington Steak 'n Shake. read more

So again I go in with 5 for breakfast. We are seated, 3 other groups come in and orders are taken and no one comes to our table. I go tell the manager and all he says is sorry. So we left and went to the factory diner. Steak 'n Shake had the same group of unprofessional employees running this place. Don't you think it's time for a change? read more

I am hard pressed to even leave one star! We sat at the counter because we wanted to personally see why our food was always cold. We watched as the burgers sat for over 6 minutes after being cooked. Then we watched as the cooks scrapped grease and dead flies from the exhaust hood on to the grill! WTF? We ran out of the place and went to Culver's. I just have one question, where the hell is the board of health??? read more

We sat at the bar tonight and received superior service from Montell. He noticed that we had been sitting at the counter without being served and rang us up, brought us everything we needed and did everything with a smile. All this and he still made all the burgers for a packed out restaurant. My husband and I were very impressed. That kid is a hustler and your lucky to have an employee like him. read more

Consistently long wait time for food, incorrect food and excuses when I bring it to their attention. I spend hundreds of dollars per month there and still always get wrong food or incomplete orders. read more

Drove through the drive-thru and the guy taking the order could not get it right for five tries. And when we got our food two of the burgers were wrong and they have run out of Sierra Mist and knew it and gave us three sodas that was just carbonated water and then it took three more attempts of walking the wrong Burgers into the restaurant and getting them to remake it until they finally got it right. What a disappointment and if I could give negative Stars I would read more

Its one of my favorite places however the last few months its become my least favorite. THE SERVICE is horrible. Even came in at midnite when it was slow... 4-6 staff hanging out in the bar area... socializing... no food coming out to tables...and it took forever to get my food! From several "lost orders" to taking an hour to get my food. . Think I will take a break from this spot until they figure out how to get their staff in shape again. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could, I spent over twenty minutes waiting on two shakes and couldn't get any help from the "manager" because they were too busy chatting with off the clock employees who were there hanging out. Absolutely the worst Steak 'n Shake I've ever been to. read more

Arrived during non-busy hours;did not hear order correctly over speaker; watied at window after paying for a good 10 minutes without any interaction. Watched as 3 employees could not figure out how to make 1 burger, 3 sliders, and an order of fries. When we were finally given our order received a very robotic, quick apology before slamming the window shut as if we were inconveniencing her deliberatly ignoring any further questions about the wait and shooed us goodbye. When we got the food the fries were not done and the sliders looked obviously like a regular hamburger roughly cut into three pieces, not even a round patty that fit the bun. I will not be returning to this location ever again! read more

There are always little things that happen or go wrong when we visit this steak and shake but today was so bad from the time we walked in we ended up leaving. We walk in and there is a big crowd, it is right at lunch time, the people in front of us are seated leaving only my family of 4. The hostess puts our name on a list and tells us it will be a few minutes. My boys and I go use the restroom leaving my husband to wait. The restrooms are filthy and just about make me lose my appetite. I come back out and my husband is still sitting there waiting and a few more people have come in. I walk up just in time to hear the hostess tell two gentlemen that were getting ready to sit at the bar that a table was going to be ready in just a second. She proceeds to seat them at a booth for 4! She comes back and yells to the crowd, who's next? My husband and I jump in and say we have been waiting and told her that she seated them instead of us, she says well that's ok, there is another table being cleaned now. She takes us to a table for 3!!! I was so mad I said we are leaving. I go to the manager and tell him what happened and he just said OK. No sorry or anything, just OK. Just shows their value on customer service. Apparently I can't give them no stars so I had to give them one. read more
