     a bowl of soup with a spoon

    So me and my friend went to this Steak 'n Shake location off of west Washington & 465 They immediately told us they were out of hot dog buns and all shakes. I really wanted a shake. We ordered 2 frisco melts and a cup of chili We asked for the frisco melts to be made with less butter to relieve some of the greasiness and they did actually do a great job of that. the frisco melts were not to bad. But the cup of chili I received , with no onions as requested, was FULL of grease. So incredibly greasy and SALTY. It was unbearable to eat. Im not sure what happened to the chili but it did not taste like old fashioned Steak 'n Shake chili.

    The NEW Prime Steak Burger  Looks nothing like the picture not even the knife.

    Last time I was here I said I would every go back. Everybody knows how thin steak burgers are mine was rare. I just can't eat rare meat, so I just didn't eat it. This time I thought it would be better, so I seen those new Prime Steakburgers the one with the knife stuck in them. I got that mushroom truffle prime burger my husband got one also but he got o plain prime burger. They made him a patty melt he said that was not what he ordered,so they took it back gave me mine. I cut it in half and it was raw inside just like they put it on the grill little brown then turned it. When she brought my husband back I told her mine was not cooked she said she would get me another one I said no that's ok I don't want anything. When she took it back to the cook he bitched the whole time we were there I cooked that right and I left it on the right amount of time. He just hot would get over it I was trying to. He even told her not to throw it away he got mad because she did. The only reason I give it two stars is because our waitress was nice about it. Buy the way the picture looks nothing like what they serve (look at my picture) now I know why there was no knife didn't need anything to hold that bun on.

    Me and my friends came here tonight for a quick bite. Service was really good we only waited 15 mins and our food was out a grilled cheese sandwich and fries is only $1.50 the food was just ok the service was better than the food .

    Doesn't look like much but this is good stuff and i always do weird things to my S&S food so i added chicken tenders lol

    Im a keep short and simple... I always get good food here can't get enough of the "frisco melt" the service is just below standard it always seems they never have enough staff and the ones that are there usually are horrible waiters. I won't even get into the drive thru is a joke. Will i still get my late fix there??? Of course lol

    Dined 12/8/12 Clean, Dinner like design. There are 4 items on the $4 menu board: 1) Triple Burger, 2) Double Cheeseburger, 3) Single Bacon Cheeseburger, 4) Chicken tenders. I ordered the Bacon...Yum, Cheeseburger!!! The first thing I noted was that the meat is cooked on the flattop grill until there is a nice carmelization on the burger. The Bacon... Y U M, was just the way I liked it, chewy crispy and actually tasted like Bacon (Yummers), ya know salty smokey bacon flavor unlike some fast food places where they serve you rubber bacon strips. Usually McDonald's is the standard for shoestring fries, but Steak N Shake's fries are so thin that you could have slid them into the drinking straw. Everything was served on a real plate and delivered to my table. I usually only give fast food chain stores 3 stars unless something was done out of the ordinary... well as I was getting ready to leave, the waitress offered me a refill on my soda (called pop here), when I told her I needed to go she brought me a fresh soda in a TOGO cup....gratice / no charge. This location earned 4-stars in my book.

    Supposed to be frisco melt. It's garbage.

We started with the Angry Mac & Cheese, which we had never tried before, and wow -- it was phenomenal. The homemade cheese sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly smooth without separating. The andouille sausage and shrimp were cooked beautifully, and the cream sauce had incredible flavor with just the right subtle hint of spice. Absolutely perfect comfort food with an elevated twist. We sat outside on the patio enjoying the beautiful weather during Indy 500 race week, and the atmosphere could not have been better. Every table around us was full of people laughing, enjoying lunch, and soaking in the energy of the city. It was one of those perfect Indianapolis afternoons. For our mains, we both ordered the Cobb salad -- one with grilled chicken and one with fried chicken -- and both were outstanding. I still can't believe how large the "small" salads are! Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the homemade ranch dressing was absolutely delicious. The service, as always, was top-notch. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From start to finish, it was such a fantastic lunch and overall experience. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to come back!

The hamburger patty was thick and juicy and cooked the way I'd prepare it myself. Portions were more than ample. After finishing my "feast" it was time for dessert, a Root Beer float, served in a tall larger glass with an ample portion of ice cream. I would suggest ordering it for two...it's that big. All enjoyed their burgers and we're looking forward to returning next year. * I purposely didn't review the other meals served, as they will be doing their own Yelp reviews.

There's a bit of grunge aesthetic too. I opted for the patio seating on the nice day that I visited. Service worked pretty quickly and friendly. I got a mocktail to start that was cranberry, orange, and pineapple juice. It was pretty yummy. I was far more impressed by the foooood! My partner and I split a burger and Mac and cheese. The size small was $9 and was honestly huge. It was definitely enough food for two. The burger we got was also a good size, and came with a lot of shoestring onion on top. The burger was $18 but it's a 10 oz patty which is practically a better deal than most other burgers out there. I'll be back again sometime for sure!

Convenient location. Zero proof drinks. There were some reviews about long wait times, non-toasted buns and the cost but the write up of the place itself gave me nostalgia vibes for a place called Cobra Burger in Richmond, VA so I had to try my luck. I really wanted to love this place, as I've not found anything like Cobra Burger here in Indy. When we arrived, around 6:45p on a Thursday, the patio had a good amount of people, but inside was pretty empty apart from the bar. We sat at a two top in the bar area. The music was at a pretty low volume, especially considering the amount of reviews that said otherwise. Our server was also bartender, so it initially took her a couple of minutes to come over, which is understandable. She took our order for drinks and then after bringing them back for the food. She was nice and provided good service although juggling tables and the bar, plus she was also pregnant. It took a very long time for us to get our food (close to an hour), despite three guys working the line in the kitchen, banging out burger after burger. The food arrived, hot and correct. Both my husband and I were disappointed that the reviews were right and the burger buns were not toasted. Non-toasted burger buns actually make the burgers harder to eat and less enjoyable. My burger was decent for a non-handmade vegan option; for the price my expectation is amor sophisticated/handmade creative one, but I am thankful that they had a vegan option at all. My husband thought his burger was just okay and that he's had better ones around Indy, so we probably won't be dining here again. For the size of the burger, they should bring you ample napkins without having to ask because it is very messy trying to eat them. For two burgers with fries, one small mac & cheese, and three beers (one regular and two nonalcoholic) before tip the bill was over $80. Now, if the food was top-tier fantastic, I would say fine but being that it was more middle of the road it's a bit pricey.

It's a Friday night and their advertised hours are Sunday through Thursday 11 am until 9 pm with Friday and Saturday closing at 10 pm. We decided to go at 9 fully expecting the dining room to be open since the hours are clearly posted and we arrived an hour before closing. To my surprise, we walked in and someone who I'm assuming is the manager looks our way and says to the hostess that they're only doing takeout. He clearly made that decision as we walked in. The dining room was empty except one couple who hadn't received their food yet. I could understand if it were 30 mins before, but an hour means you should just close at 9 pm everyday. A couple walked in minutes after us and were also given this information, but decided to leave instead of order. I did, however, order for my son since I opted out and he was looking forward to eating here. This was not how I expected to celebrate my son's birthday but was forced to even though they had roughly eight people "working" and were unable to accommodate three. This really left a feeling of disdain that I can't shake. I have no desire to patronize this establishment in the future as I was not welcomed during business hours this time. Hopefully this is a learning experience and they'll choose to service customers within reason.

The menu is simple, but still offers a nice variety of options. I ordered the Swissy That Walk burger sans mushrooms. I also ordered the Baked Potato Fries with jalapenos added to be shared with another member of our party. The burger was DE-licious! The fries could have benefited from a more generous helping of the toppings. They have a bar with the options to make your shakes boozy. They also offer Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC cocktails. An addition to the regular fountain beverages, they also offer a couple of mocktails and NA beer, I believe. The restaurant itself is very cute. It reminds me of a 1950's soda fountain re-imagined. I would return for the burgers, but most likely to-go.
