The food was delicious, cooked to order. Generous helping of tater tots, very tasty. I needed a spoon to eat my shake, very tasty as well. Selection is very large. The dining area was clean and well lit read more

Ordered chili cheese fries in drive through and was charged not only for my order but also a separate order totaling $14. I don't go through frankfort often so cannot drive by. I've called their number multiple times today and no one has yet to answer and they don't have voicemail. Very poor form. read more

not too bad a location. Had some good cheese fries and triple stack burger. Would try other things on menu

I was craving Steak 'n Shake. Burger, fries and onion rings were fresh great quality and came out fast. Restaurant was clean staff was nice!

Emily had very bad attitude. Very argumentative and 0 customer service skills. She didn't repeat my order and then argued with me when I said it was wrong. Then manager Paul refused to give me my money back saying order was repeated and it wasn't. Ask for my money back and manager Paul was no help and refused. Beware! Will definitely not return. I paid $46.00 to be argued with and disrespected. read more

Always a pleasure to eat here. I always get drive through especially when heading home. Easy stop in right off the highway. I don't know if I would go into eat just based on the reviews but drive through is on point. I always get the fresco melt and I add lettuce and tomato. Also get a banana shake and a strawberry shake yummmm. It's located with the Walmart shopping center right in front so it's easy to see. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Front door - Burgers Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

Went here for a work lunch. You order at a kiosk now. It was different but efficient. The garlic burger and fries was great. It was my first back here since the pandemic. It did not fail to impress. My order came up promptly. It was hot and delicious. read more

It's been awhile since I've written a one-star review. I hesitate to leave them, but there was nothing about this location that left me wanting to come back. We came through the drive-thru on Saturday prior to an afternoon at Salato. Thought it would be a quick, delicious meal and turned out to be a flavorless hassle. We ordered: garlic steak burger with fries, a single steakburger with fries, chicken tenders (with fries, coleslaw, and a cookie), and two shakes. After getting our shakes through the window, we were asked to pull ahead into a spot and wait for the rest of our meal. Not a problem. A few minutes later, our meal is brought out to us. We decided to stay in the parking lot for a bit before driving to Salato..... I'm really glad we stayed. Inside the bag we noticed one container of fries was missing. Husband went in to get it. Then we noticed the cookie was missing. Husband went back inside to get one. The food? Bland. Normally, I devour Steak N Shake french fries. These fries? They had no flavor. They were warm and cooked, but not the same addictive fries I'm used to. Husband agreed. All of our fries were blah. Maybe they forgot to put salt/something on them? Meh. My burger was lukewarm, and I couldn't even taste/notice the burger in the pile of toppings. My husband wasn't fond of his either. Fortunately, our son's food -- the chicken tenders -- was fine (although a bit too hot!). And our shakes were decent. Something to note: my husband got sick for a few days not too long after this meal. Coincidence? Maybe. Definitely underwhelmed. Not coming back here. read more

Terrible. First time I've had it since the beginning of the pandemic. Used DoorDash. The whole meal was cold. Fries were tough, bun on burger was stale, meat was definitely not fresh, and the large Coke was the flattest I've ever had. The chilli container opened in the bag and spilled. They gave me a milkshake spoon to eat the spaghetti chilli with and no straw for the flat Coke. Disappointed is an understatement as Steak n Shake used to be one of my favorites. Will not return. read more

Although the food came out fast, the usual crispy delicious fries were unfortunately flimsy and cold. Luckily the burger saved in the meal! No reason to complain though, when dealing with fast food you get what you pay for. I will eat here again, when I'm hungry and don't have time for something better. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Better than it looks... - Burgers Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

This one was a tough one. We waited to be seated and then waited over 10 -15 mins for someone to see we were there. Amanda our waitress, or well the one who decided to help us was super friendly. Her level of service was a 5, the food was a 2-3 and the facility was a 1-2. They were obviously short staffed this this night we visited. We came in around 7:00 on a Saturday night. Yes, the bathrooms are dirty, like all the reviews say, but I made sure my family did not even think about using the restroom. I was shocked by the unorganized servers. One walked by complaining about rude customers and that she was such a great server. Another server walked by in slides, yes slides for shoes. How is that even safe or clean. Amanda our waitress was by far the best compliment to the place. If they lose her, they really should just close. I see why the reviews are so poor here. read more

Great value and good food. Nothing fancy so the savings are passed to the customer. All orders are taken via an easy-to-use kiosk but friendly employees are there to assist. Ample parking and easy in and out. The "junior" shake is perfect size to satisfy the sweet tooth. read more

We've been in Kentucky just over a year now and we've run across Steak & Shake in a few places, but have never gone in. This Friday, after running a few quick errands, Hubs and I decided to skip cooking and give them a go. It was not what I expected. It's a real sit down and eat joint! They did have a drive through, and I saw people do carry out orders, but we opted to take a seat and be served, since we had no idea what the menu looked like. The decor of the place is kinda 50s diner-ish... Male servers looking nerdy in their bowties, neon signs, chrome, and leather. The menu was quite extensive in the burger department, strictly American fare... and the prices were descent. Hubs got the Garlic Burger, and I got the Footlong Chili Dog. Service was pleasant and pretty quick considering the place was packed. While we both agreed the food was good, our meals were served on annoyingly small plates. Maybe this is their "thing", but when my food is hanging off my plate and every time I move something my fries spill out all over the (hopefully clean) table... the plate is too damn small! But, overall, Hubs enjoyed his burger. He thought the meal a bit small... we saw other tables ordering multiple hamburgers, so, maybe that's the way to go if you're real hungry. I, myself, found my meal more than filling as I wasn't that hungry, but really didn't love the chili. My own thing, I know.. I just don't like "Cincinnati Chili"... sorry. And I should have known that's what it was 'cause you can order it on spaghetti... a telltale sign. But $13 for us both for dinner, ain't half bad... We may check this chain out again some day! read more

You can't order unless you use the machines that do not work. We couldn't order food and the employees couldn't take our order. Strangest experience ever. read more

Delicious shake probably for two! The Cheese sauce gives your fries that something special. My steak butter burger was fresh and tasty. As a warning to those not familiar with this entree. Maybe ask for them to go light on the butter. It is generously smothered in butter. I mistook it for mayonnaise at first site. Definitely a great place when your wanting an old school diner experience. read more

Saturday night. One table seated. We were given a booth. Two tables were seated within ten minutes of us being seated, both given menus and drinks immediately. They forgot about our group as the continued to take care of tables around us. We never received a drink. We weren't spoken too until we got up to leave. A waitress had come from sitting in a chair behind the counter to run and jump up and hug a customer. Poor service. read more

One thing you can't deny is that the food is good, but the cleanliness is abysmal. The toilet was caked either in blood or vomit. And it wasn't new. It was crusted and caked. Besides that the filth was off the chart. read more

The hubby and I eat here every so often when we need a night out of the kitchen. The prices are very reasonable and we enjoy the food after trying to eat healthy at home, lol! Tonight our server Tina greeted us at the door and seated us promptly. We ordered a double steak burger combo and a grilled chicken taco salad. The food was delivered 4 minutes after the time printed on the ticket, or about 10 minutes after we arrived, and the restaurant was about 2/3 full. Tina kept hubby supplied with Coke Zero, brought salsa on the side for the salad, and checked back with us to see if we needed anything else. The restaurant and the men's restroom were clean. Overall we were pleased, as usual, and will return. read more

If you can find one that's still open they are usually pretty consistent and has a great diner feel. Unfortunately most in the area have closed. read more

Burgers were good. Dreadful service. Lukewarm coffee. Empty restaurant. Half the tables weren't clean in a restaurant that literally had *zero* other customers inside. read more

This steak & shake has the worst customer service. (The food was good) but I will not be returning due to the staff being disrespectful.

I was 6th in line at the drive through today (July6th)The girl taking orders sounded like she really would rather been home in bed sleeping than at work. It took 20 minutes to give my order, then pay for, and receive it. The burg were r was hot and good, the fries cold and tasted like they hadn't changed the fryer grease in over a week. My dog even refused to eat them. I won't be back. There are many places to buy burgers, and theirs aren't worth waiting that long for, especially with so many competitors close by. They really need to let that girl go, she's not helping with a poor attitude chasing business away. read more

Still understaffed. Friday night at 1:00 am it was staffed by two women, and one of the women's daughters jumped behind the counter to help out. I don't know if she was employed there or not. I sat at the counter so I could watch it all happening. The restaurant had 1 other table filled. I ordered a double cheese burger, no onion, no ketchup, fries and vanilla shake. I repeated no"no onion, no ketchup", because she repeated my order back WRONG. The women were trying to take orders without writing the orders down or entering them in the system. Of course, they were forgetting items, customers were coming in from the drive thru, etc. WHY NOT WRITE IT DOWN?!?!? Maybe they were scamming the system, I don't know, just guessing. They kept saying, "they guy at the high counter hasn't gotten his food yet!" Then "He gets a double all the way!" I chimed in "No onion, no ketchup!" "Right ! no onion, no ketchup." This conversation was repeated again 5 minutes later so I had said "No onion, no ketchup" 4 times. After 40 minutes, she brought out my burger, of course, with ketchup. I said, "I don't like ketchup." She said "YOU SAID NO ONION, NO TOMATO!" I said , "No, I said no onion, no ketchup 4 times!" and I left. I never got my shake. read more

I am very happy with this Steak n Shake location. This is one of the only 24 hours restaurants in Frankfort. The food is excellent. I got the garlic cheese burger with fries. I was not disappointed. The burger was something that I would have found in a high end Las Vegas restaurant. I will be back soon. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burgers Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

First time going to a Steak N Shake, and first impression- awful service and RUDE employees. Was short with us, and at the window in the drive thru, the only words spoken to us were the total. Thats it. Window was shut on us while we were asking for condiments, etc. Will never be back to another one again. Do yourself a favor and go to taco bell or chilis which are located directly beside it. read more

Probably the worst steak and shake restaurant ever. Stood at the host stand for five or more minutes. While I was standing there I noticed a stack of maybe 10 pre cooked burger patties hanging out on top of a counter. Not in a cold/hot area. Didn't really think much of it until a cook came over, grabbed patties and made someone's order. Have no idea how long those patties were kept there before I walked in but I just left after I saw that. Not 1 server in a steak and shake uniform. Just in street clothes. One girl walked in with a uniform on as I was leaving. So they do have uniforms. Guess they're optional. Won't be back to this one. read more

THIS PLACE IS FILTHY!!! I have made this complaint about most of their stores here in Ky. But this one is truly in a state of disgusting! The food came as we were noticing the state if the floors and such being dirty and stained. Can honestly say this was the shortest time we have ever waited on food here! The manager had the servers leaving for the morning shift mopping with a full restaurant!!! This one is a mess to start with and two they cleaned nothing up! The floors still dirty and left very wet!!! An older woman fell on the wet floors and got no apology or help from the actual store employees. Just people sitting close by. The manager was not helpful at all with that situation or the state of the restaurant! tables etc not bused but people being seated at the only clean ones left! Will not eat again unless notice that things are clean! read more

Why not serve fresh french fries to late night (9:00) customers rather than face the wrath of this review? It is not that hard and certainly not that expensive. We also got one of those big portion/little portion candid camera jokes. Our waiter, John, did get a fresh plate of chicken fingers (with portion control), but the request for hot fries was answered with warmer old fries (not his fault). John mentioned that the original plate didn't look right, which earned this review another star. Steakburgers were good, and the fresh fingers were satisfactory. Of course, we should only expect the food to match the hype. Eat well, tip well. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Cheap presentation of lunch hamburger and fries. - Burgers Near Me - Frankfort, Kentucky

I do not recommend this restaurant whatsoever. We go through the drive thru and the cashier says your food is being cooked in the kitchen and can you pull forward? So we pull forward and we've waited 15 minutes, so we went inside and they threw our ticket out the window! So they had to remake our order and other people were complaining also. I hope everyone else has a better experience than we did. read more

How can a chain get things this wrong this often? People usually don't go to chains for high quality, they are looking for a consistent, predictable experience. If you got to a Steak'n Shake, you're expecting a diner that's a half-notch up from fast food, served quick, and in and out in no time. Done right, a Steak'n Shake should be a two or maybe three-star experience, not a one-star. While on my lunch break from work, I've stopped by this location twice, and had the exact same lousy experience. When I try to order an iced tea, I am told they don't have any iced tea. It's on the menu, I see the large dispenser, it makes me feel more than a little cheated. The queasy, sick feeling I get in my stomach after eating there is unmatched by almost any place else I eat. I don't know if it's the grease, or what else it could be. The first time, I thought it could be a fluke, but it has repeated itself. Service is consistently weak, and I've been left sitting there for a prolonged period waiting for my check, or waiting to order, in a mostly empty restaraunt more than once. The sign says to wait for a server to seat you, and even in a mostly empty place you'll find yourself standing there for a couple of minutes before anybody comes to seat you, it's happened to me more than once. Essentially, I came here repeatedly looking for a fast, decent lunch and got a truly mediocre meal served poorly. read more

Got seated, place not close to full. Sat 15 mins until we finally had to go to the cash register to ask of someone would be taking our order. Got told "I'll be with you in a minute." No apology just a dismissive tone. Waited a few more minutes only to have our order taken as if we were a bother to be there. Would speak to the manager but this was the manager! Waiting for the food now. Hopefully it comes sometime today. Food finally arrives, server, looking angry says " Frisco Melt" then literally drops plates in front of us and walks off saying nothing else. Check trip advisor for similar reviews, wish I had before coming here. read more

Burgers and fries are good. Restaurant looks like it needs to be cleaned. The service the last 2 times we have visited is terrible! We have had to wait an excessive amount of time. In fact 2 people got up and left because no one came to take their order. Estimated they wait 15-20 minutes. A server should check on the table in less than 5 minutes after seating. The one star is the result of the poor service. read more

Road Dog Checking In... This is a very sad Steak & Shake, I walked in and noticed that the tables had food and dirty dishes on them. Ordered a grilled chicken salad and the cabbage was brown and scary. The waitress agreed that the cabbage was scary and took it back. At no point did a manager stop by, to see that I was ok or that the replacement food was acceptable. Note the restaurant was not busy and the tables stayed dirty for the entire time I was there. I also waited around for my bill at the front counter and they couldn't find my bill or my waitress. Bad Management = Bad Service=Bad Customer Service. Drive a few miles further and find a better Steak & Shake down the road. Be Safe & Happy Travels read more

This is without a doubt the worst Steak & Shake Injabe ever eaten at. There is no management or order in this place. The server ran from table to table and just couldn't keep up with taking orders, cleaning tables, running food or getting refills. He had no help and was doing everything himself. I witnessed table after table complain about wait time and no food...... our food finally came and my bun tasted like a heath bar, crunchy!!! The management/ownership should be ashamed of this place. read more

Ohhhh this place was disgusting. I went through the drive thru and was told they were closed at 0430 due to a computer problem. I drove around to find all the staff outside smoking. I asked them if they knew how long it would take to fix and I was then told oh u can come inside to order. Ok. Well I go n and order, the place was disgusting, the staffs clothes were filthy, and the cook came directly inside from smoking and didn't even wash his hands before cooking my food. So straight n the trash the food went. Will not be back. read more

So, 2 weeks have passed since my trip to steak n shake. I received an email 2 days later from someone identifying themselves as a customer service manager. They apologized for the experience but, said that local management would be receiving the information and would contact me. Nobody from the local steak n shake has even tried to contact me about this (and it has been 2 weeks). So this tells me they don't care about the issue and that is very poor customer service. When you come to Frankfort, KY do not go to steak n shake. read more

Tried this place one night driving "home" from a late flight. The décor is that of a 50's diner- old fashioned red and white. We were immediately greeted at the door and seated right away. When we looked at the menu, we were floored at the extremely low prices. We didn't know whether to be happy about it or take it as a sign of really bad food. They have a menu that features meals for under $4... UNDER $4!!! They include a burger and fries. Seriously??? That's just unheard of. We ordered their original burger, (him with cheese, me without). At first glance, they were reminiscent of Freddy's burgers and fries- two thin steak patty burgers and thin stick fries. The buns were pretty generic and we got lettuce, tomato, and pickles as well. To our surprise, they tasted pretty similar to Freddy's and we love Freddy's. We did not try any of their shakes- what they're famous for- but we will be going back soon. read more

Food is good. Staff needs a lot of work. Only one waiting to get seated. Stood there over 5 min. Staff never acknowledged we were ever there. We left. Went to give them another chance on Another time still stood there and waited and wAited. Cook and other girl was there never said anything to us. Or called for someone to take care of us. These people need to be trained how to treat a customer read more
