(4) ~ very good overall, plus no seed oils;) Note: You order at the kiosks, where you can customize too. MENU: ** Tallow French Fries = (4.15) Very tasty, although these are more like thin Frites, than fries. I prefer thicker fries... ** Real Cane Sugar Coke = (4) very cool:) ** Frisco Melt = (4) very good w. sourdough bread & I upgraded from American to Swiss cheese;) ** Butter Steakburger = (4) very tasty * Garlic Steakburger = (3.85) Good * Triple Steakburger (no roll) = (3.75) Good read more

Oy vey! Reading other reviews, I was worried that I'd either be eating cardboard, or be required to lock myself in the bathroom for 3-5 business days. 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! read more

Its a good restaurant. You order at the kiosk, then grab your food when your number is called. The food was pretty good for the price and the shakes were actually really good. The restaurant itself has a very fast food vibe and I personally liked it. I will say the chair is rock hard but other than that its pretty good! read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burgers Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

SNS is quite the wildcard in the fast food world. I feel as though they were once the place to be on a good night and now just another sign on the freeway. Although I think some level they are underrated as their shakes still hit fairly well. I've through here a few times with my buddy in the last year or so, and they keep a fairly clean place. They have fully moved to kiosks for ordering now, but still do have the ability to use cash. I am on board with this as it makes for Quicker processes and no lines. I find the beverage system to be quite interesting, as you get a receipt with code to scan by the drink machine so you're able to fill your cup (not sure what they're preventing though). The steak frank is not much to go home about, though its not the worst thing ever. Ok at best. Fries are good, but thats about where that parade ends. The onions rings absolutely slap for sure and are a staple on the menu! But why 3 stars? Because of the mood. It's honestly sort of depressing when theres only 9 people inside. Its tough to enjoy a meal in a dead environment. It is not a fault of the restaurant but reflection of the state of the chain. Hopefully they can turn it around someday, but atlas. read more

I was the last customer. They are permanently closed as of 4:45pm CT today. We ordered and then the kiosks powered down and they put the permanently closed sign on the door. read more

Always a good experience here! Staff is nice. Crispy fries and crispy frisco melt! I like how the shake comes out first to give me a chance to enjoy before the food. read more

It has been a while since I've been to Steak and Shake. Now you order at a kiosk, pay and they call your number and you pick up your food at the counter. You get your own drink but you have to prompt them to give you a cup. This location was bright, clean and looked as if the furniture had been replaced. I remember it before as kinda grimy so it looked refreshed and upgraded. Our order was up quickly. The quality of the single steak burger was as I remembered it -- slightly a step above McDonalds -- although the skinny shoestring fries were excellent -- thin, crispy and hot and very plentiful. read more

Went through the drive thru they gave my order to the car in front of me the the gentleman pulled around ran the order into the restaurant they re took my order and 1 minute later my double cheese and fries were ready said I didn't want the order the guy at the window it was just made fresh then I said get me the manager he said the employee knows better I got a refund and will never go back read more

Just attempted to go through the drive-through at this location. Nobody comes on the speaker to take your order. We pulled up knocked on the window. Nobody there. Drove around went in the restaurant three guys are working, dragging their feet walking around with no urgency. we tried to order a milkshake. They didn't understand what we wanted. Sent another guy out finally just left. Unbelievable. Whoever owns this place should be physically there to see what is going on. read more

Manager was extremely rude to employees and berated them in front of us and other customers through our whole visit.

This Steak 'n Shake was near the children's museum and we wanted to indulge in their happy hour. From 2-4 on weekdays you get half off your shake so shake your tail feather and go get some! We went through the drive thru and the line went pretty fast. The shake I had was creamy, thick, and delicious, the perfect thing to drink on our journey back to the house. I also indulged in a steakburger which was cooked fresh and quite filling. It didn't take too long for the order to be ready and service at the drive thru was pleasant and friendly. read more

Ehhhhh not the best experience here. Came with two friends on a Sunday night. They had one server working the entire restaurant (and this includes seating parties and bussing tables). He did a great job and was hustling, but it was ridiculous and I felt so bad for him. It was all he could do to get people seated in a reasonable amount of time and take and serve orders. The table across from us sat with dirty dishes almost the entire time we were there because he had no time. At one point someone who looked like a manger came out to help, but he didn't seem to be doing enough to alleviate the pressure. The food was fine. I don't get what's so exciting about the steakburger, but the bacon cheeseburger I had was fine (likely a little bit nicer than McDonald's). The egg nog shake I got was delicious, but there was wayyyyyyy too much nutmeg on the top, it actually made my stomach turn a bit. The garlic Parmesan 'add on' for my fries was just a pre-made mix shaken over the fries, which tasted okay but wasn't evenly distributed over the fries. Their prices here are great, the burger combo was only $3.99, so that's good. Despite the hustle of our sever we saw him only to take our orders, drop off our order, and drop off the check. Not his fault as he was swamped, but it was noticeable that he never came back to check in. According to my friends who eat here more often, this isn't a rare occurrence. If they could figure out their staffing needs better it would likely be a better experience. read more

This review is purely for happy hour! No, silly, not THAT kind of happy hour! We're talking about the shake happy hour Monday through Friday from 2-5pm. Having a late afternoon craving for something sweet, Steak 'n Shake sent me an email with a half-price offer for any of their shakes. Talk about perfect timing! It was 4pm, so I grabbed my kiddos and we hightailed it to Glenview. Here's what we tried. Two red velvet shakes for my kiddos, and a chocolate for me. I didn't get to try the red velvet because my boys are at that no-sharing age, but my chocolate was sooooo good! The portion size was more than generous. The ice cream was rich and high quality. Nice and thick and overly chocolatey...what's not to love? My boys also raved about the red velvet. Major plus for those practicing extra safe measures these days. They delivered our shakes curbside wearing gloves! Side note: Pairs perfectly with a Western bbq bacon burger and a side of those fabulous skinny fries (I couldn't resist). read more

Steak ’n Shake - Sorry...horrible photo. Shake and Western BBQ burger. - Burgers Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

This might have been the very best service I have received in a Steak 'n Shake, well...ever. Maxx F. was pretty solid. Usually the service is abysmal, tonight was a different story. Quick with the refills, suggested a shake for dessert, got the order correct.. A new milestone. Why not five stars? Walking in the "Please wait to be seated" sign did not bode well. as there was only one other table seated in the restaurant. And wait we did indeed. Also, our chili bowls were served at the same time as our steakburgers. Would have been nice to have them out first. Overall though, top rate! read more

Worst customer service. Called to find out about allergen info and was told that they are too busy to find out for me. Subsequently they hang up on me. Tried calling few times and got the same response. Very disappointing. read more

food was good but the place was dirty Sticky floors and just a mess. The manager was also watching her phone in some loud Indian tv show not in English. place also smelled more like an Indian restaurant then burger joint.... read more

I was very happy with service and quality of food here. We ordered 4 shakes during happy hour, and the triple burgers which are amazing with everything on it. The fries were hot and my kids loved them. We had some with cheese and one container of cheese was fresh and hot, the other looked like slime (my kids said that lol) I'm assuming one was our longer then the other. I took a star off bc of that. Service was friendly, we did drive thru around 2:15pm. The burger with no bun was delicious. I will definitely come back here, my husband and I both thought why haven't we tried this place earlier... read more

First time in the area checking out this Steak and Shake. My girlfriend has never been to one so this was the perfect place to check out. Plus the IHOP next door, didn't seem to want our service since all the lights were already off. Anyway we got here, found great parking and sat right down. Our waiter was nice for the most and was attentive. The food was phenomenal to say the least, great price great quality as well. Waiter accidently forgot to give us our root beer float as well but we eventually got it. Great clean restaurant as well. Definitely recommend read more

Very clean quick service! Food was also great! Best Steak 'n Shake I ever been too!!!!!!

I've never been to Steak N Shake before so my good friend took me here. We totally pigged out and ordered a buncha food. I really loved the Jr. Strawberry Banana frozen yogurt shake and the fries. They were light and crispy! I liked their take on their Chili 5 Way. This is definitely not a place though for people who are trying to lose weight or watch their triglyceride levels. As much as we wanted to eat everything, we simply couldn't, it was too much. read more

We walked into the restaurant and was immediately told "No dine-in. Carry-out only" There were legit SIXTEEN tables open. I asked her why and the cashier made a face and just kept repeating dine out only . They refused to let us dine in and said they were short staffed. They were incredibly rude and disrespectful to the customers walking in. Everyone walks in to see a bunch of tables open only to be told they can't serve you. Never again . read more

It has been ages since I have been to Steak n Shake, not much has changed. Came in on a weekday for lunch. The place was not that busy and we were greeted by staff and sat down at a table of our choice. We ordered burgers, which all come with fries. The price here is cheaper than most places for a burger considering it also comes with fries. Though I'd say compared to a burger place up the road, the buns here do not hold up. I had a triple steakburger and the bun just completely crumbled when picking up the burger after cutting it in half. It also was soggy after sitting with the pattys on top of it and the juices running down into the bun. The fries are good though, thin and crispy. The portion of fries on a burger plate is equivalent to a small. The kids meal is also cheap in price and the portion is decent, though if you have a bigger eater they probably will eat two meal portions especially with the mac and cheese portion. And the mac and cheese seems like boxed mac and cheese. When you get your food and the bill you bring it up to the counter to pay. read more

Their fries and chicken tenders are good. It's one of the freshest, tastier tenders among fast foods.

I haven't been at a Steak & Shake in recent memory. I loved it back in the day when it was a special visit because there was no S&S nearby. I had a standard double-cheese burger and the skinny fries they are famous for. It was excellent and almost everything I remember about the burger. I like how the burger is cooked to order. However since I was sitting at the small 4 seat counter I was able to watch the grill. The burger smasher/flipper was pre-cooking a few burgers which I didn't like. I love the crispy edges on the patties when cooked to order. Perhaps he was getting ready for the lunch time rush but not cool at all. Also the double cheese burger has two patties but only one slice of cheese, not cool again. Fries with the seasoned salt were hot and crispy. I also like they serve you're food on a plate, a real plate, not some crappy basket and they have servers too. They serve breakfast and have a drive-thru too! read more

I like steak and shake, but at this location i've had a lot of problems. when i dine in the service is real slow. the kitchen always looks understaffed. once i was there and the manager told me he didn't even work there anymore he was just called in on the weekend bc they were desperate. tonight i tried to skip all that via the drive thru. they forgot my kids 2 apple juices and daughters hot dog looked like one 7-11 would probably give up on and toss out. sad. read more

The wait in the drive thru line was horrendous as always, so I came into the place to order. Walked in at 1:49pm. Only 2 tables of 1 person each. Someone came finally at 2:04 to take the order for 3 shakes... No one else came in after me, and it's 2:17pm. Everyone in the kitchen is walking around like zombies. And my shakes are still not here. Seriously?? Who the hell wants to wait half an hour for a milkshake???? This is the WORST establishment ever, and we will never come back. read more

As a family, we really do love Steak 'n Shake! The food is good and they have an interesting spin on things. We particularly like their Frisco Burger Melt, with Russian dressing (er, Frisco Sauce) for $5.49 and their Five Way Chili, which has to be a steal at $4.99! How do they make a profit at these prices? Okay, I understand you don't just come to Steak 'n Shake for the food. Yes, we've been known to feast on their Malts and Shakes as well. But, given our move to the southwest, whenever we're in town it makes it all the more special to come here and eat. Don't forget their 2-4 Half priced Special! How much of this can we sneak on the plane? Taxi! Enjoy! read more

Several weeks ago, I received some calamitous news, namely that the Steak and Shake near my office sells half-priced milkshakes from 2-4pm. Now, I've never eaten at Steak and Shake because a glance at their menu makes my skin crawl (like most fast food). But I sure do love milkshakes (that's right, I'll suck down milkshakes like Linda Lovelace but I draw the line at deep-fried triple burgers and bacon-cheddar onion rings...call me a hypocrite if you want). So that's the problem: I love milkshakes and I love deals, but I also love appearing attractive to the opposite sex and not dying young. But since I have no willpower, I knew that it was only a matter of time, and apparently today was the day. I will say that $1.65 for a 20-ounce milkshake is pretty much the best value on the planet. And it wasn't bad. I ordered a chocolate malt, my usual, and would have appreciated being offered the choice of no whipped cream. That garbage does not belong on a milkshake. Anyway, this thing was pretty solid, not the best and not the worst. Good consistency, near-perfect sweetness, perhaps a bit imbalanced in favor of too much malt and not enough chocolate. Let's call it a B. read more

Full Disclosure - I eat healthy. So if you want bad for you food cheap, then look no further. A full size milkshake alone will put a thousand points on the calorie board, easy. In my opinion, the food appears to be cooked to order but that seems to take too long for the type of food it is. That and you get wait service too. I admittedly am not a fan but I throw the family a bone once in a blue moon. If this is your thing, then it is not a bad place, just not healthy. read more

I just went and bought a meal. They barely open and i was given old hard fries.

Steak 'n Shake is the best and I always find nice people, super clean place and great food at good prices. Mr. E LOVES their pancakes and toast and wants to come here every weekend. We will be back again. Super clean, great service and great food! read more

Oh yeah! Midwestern chains for the win ;) I remember coming here with my high school debate team. But was this view now through rose-colored glasses, as it can often be? Not really - it's still a reliable fast food chain (with barely a dent in your wallet). The burgers are still tasty as ever, and the scope of the shakes' flavors has only increased. And yes, they're good enough to be part of the name. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be dreaming about oreo and mint shakes... read more

It seems like the service here is based on the particular employees who you happen to get. One experience with manager "Ruben" was absolutely appalling, having cold food even fries caused by employees and refusing to make it correctly, while the experience under the other manager working at the same time is perfect, and being informed of the way to ensure a cheaper same order. It's really just a normal or standard level of service but being that it's a Steak 'N' Shake that's incredibly surprising... Of course, regardless of the employees I interact with the bathroom is still dirty and at this particular location there is nothing available with which to clean yourself if using the bathroom... (fake "toilet paper" is filled but does not turn more then one half of one sheet for any reason and does not work if you could get more because it's so thin that it literally breaks upon touch). read more

Ate here alone one weekend afternoon. My waitress gave her full attention, though the place had a medium amount of traffic. My meal arrived within minutes of ordering, the wait staff was attentive. Taste and display of my meal and shake were fantastic. I was surprised I received good service, usually a person sitting alone would be forgotten especially on weekends when tables are filled with patrons. read more

Normally I take pictures of my food but I was so hungry I devoured everything before I could do so. I ordered a half strawberry half vanilla shake and it was a sweet and smooth decadent treat I could probably have every day but I don't wanna blow up like a blimp. I had the classic double steak burger with fries and it too was delicious! The burger was perfectly cooked with a bun that had a nice toasty buttery crunch to it. So glad we came here instead of 5 Guys next door because the burger here was way better! My friend got the patty melt and it was buttery and juicy with perfectly carmelized onions. Fantastic! Just go! read more

This was my first time at a sit-down steak n shake! In NY there's no table service, you just fight for a few seats if you want to sit, haha. Soo it's actually 1/2 off shakes from 2-4pm for their HH, so we paid less than $2 for a full shake! I had the birthday shake, yumm. I also got the single guacamole burger with fries for $4-NY really can't beat these prices!! Everything was good and hit the spot! read more

Food was great here...but we were the only ones here and our food took a long time. Nice people, but the service was slow...it was around 11pm too, so we don't know what took so long. Good experience though! read more

Steak ’n Shake - The birthday cake shake!!! It was perfect. - Burgers Near Me - Glenview, Illinois

We waited absurdly long, moving four car lengths in about 14 minutes. Two cars pulled out of line from behind us, probably out of frustration. A banner advertised "free fries". We asked for the fries and were asked, "regular or large?" We replied , "regular". We were then charged for fries. We asked about it and were told, "that's just for small size". After we made an issue of it at the window, (the manager?) did then take it off the bill and hand us a small order of fries. To top it off, neither shake was right!! I ordered a cookie dough and got a vanilla shake with a few chips and a dusting of crumbs on top. The other shake order was mint Oreo. No Oreos. Again, just a mint shake with a dusting of dark powder-being generous we'll assume they were crumbs. Never EVER going back there again!! Shame on them. read more
