     the outside of a restaurant
    John M.

    For fast food, Steak 'n Shake is not bad. It tries to capture that old fifties style diner feel and again, the burger and milk shakes are not bad for fast food. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and say that these burgers are amazing or anything like that. They certainly are not, but again, for fast food, they are not bad. This location is very conveniently located, it is right on East Colonial Drive and is convenient to not only the travelers on East Colonial Drive, but to the residents of Waterford Lakes, Avalon Parks and the slew of housing developments on the east side of Orlando, but it is also convenient to the University of Central Florida (UCF), so I am sure both students and faculty might find themselves here. The burgers are decently priced and again, they are pretty good (for fast food). All in all, not a bad place to grab a meal.

    The pandemic has transformed Steak 'n Shake into a much more efficient, kiosk/counter service place instead of the gawd awful waiter/waitress place where you'd wait and wait and wait for someone to come to your table. The self serve refills are also much preferred. Instead of sitting and waiting, you order via kiosks at the front of the store. I'm guessing they have an app too, but I didn't check. You order via touch screen and it's actually pretty slick and easy. I was impressed as it's come a long way since the early 90's Taco Bell kiosks they tested in my hometown area. Just a note as a few years ago, I ordered a 7x7 (7 patties, 7 slices of cheese) and paid $9.99 for it which was a pretty good deal. I didn't see it on the touch screen so not sure if it's still doable, which is probably a good thing. I absolutely hate steak fries and these are the complete opposite. Shoe String fries are the best other than the fact they get cold quicker. The fries on this night were hot and fresh and I didn't need ketchup to make them go down. Burger King fries definitely need Ketchup or Ranch Dressing or something to get them down. Not here! The burger was good too. The tomato on my burger was photo close-up worthy and may be one of the largest, nicest tomato slices I've seen served ever. Everything was fresh and delicious. I think they have milkshakes too, but didn't get one here. In the past, I've seen the ones that they dress up like a sundae and they always look good. They have a wide variety of shake options. I don't know how often I'd come back here as their "healthy" options are very limited, but I felt like cheat day was worth it for once, and at other places, I've felt cheated out of a cheat day with crappy food. Not here! Excellent and I love the new transformation.

    Pros: The food and beverages are usually on par. The staff is usually fast fun and friendly. Cons: The burgers seem to be prepared inconsistently from time to time, which suggests that a problem may exist with the process. Also, they should be mindful of the music volume in the kitchen, it's unprofessional. People: Good Process: Good Product: Good Quality: Good Quantity: Good Value: Fair Cleanliness: Fair Ambience: Fair Timing: Good Attention To Detail: Fair

    Steak n' Shake has a special place in my heart. My husband took me here on our first date. I moved away and haven't been by one in 18 years. They have great prices, and great shakes. I ordered a Frisco melt and a Kit Kat shake, and my husband ordered chilli and a patty melt. It was all delicious and the service was good.

    The May 2018 Free $5 Certificate is actually a $5 Off Purchase coupon good on regular menu prices.

    Insanely slow service. There's a drive thru but don't get on it unless you want to sit in your car for 20 minutes waiting to get your food.

    The service was slow because they ran out of fries. Poor service. The Steak and Shake on University Drive is much better.

    Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

    Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

    Taste: 4/5 Value:…read more4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty solid burger spot that, as the name suggests, lets you fully customize your burger. They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

    I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

    I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
