I was really looking forward to lunch here, one of my favorite places. But it seems that there is no cashier any longer. The electronic system had issues, and then ended up canceling my order. There were three employees, one was working on the other two were busy on their phones. I guess I will go elsewhere. read more

Don't listen to the haters. Perfectly crisp and fresh fries with a picturesque burger. Think of a burger worthy of those fake tv commercials. Couldn't be more surprised with the high quality of the food. I went at 10:30pm, if that's a factor. read more

Refused to severe me because of my food allergy even when I told them I understand cross contamination is possible.

Went through drive thru after not eating there for a few years. Pleasantly surprised. Food was really good. Fries were hot and crispy. Will return read more

I started eating here over 40 years ago and the food and service were always great. A few years ago the long time manager retired and the restaurant went downhill fast. Food was bad and service was worse. The restaurant has been updated and new management installed and the quality and service are back. Food is great again and the service is fast. The prices are incredibly low for the quality of food, barely half other popular burger joints. Give them another chance and you may be pleasantly surprised, we were! read more

Placed an online delivery order on the 16th. Received someone else's order. I was told I would be refunded. Still nothing

Never come during Happy Hour (or at least that's the excuse I'm giving them to use) I ordered for dine in and it took 30 minutes. It didn't help there were some super rude and needy guest before me. It didn't look like they were super busy at least inside of the restaurant. The drive thru might have been cuz all I heard was the milkshake machine going off. I didn't even get a milkshake because I was soo turned off by the delay in my food. The food was what I expected, typical burger. The fries were fresh but I don't see the big deal for this "Frisco" sauce i had to pay an extra 40 cents. I got the garlic butter burger and it was messy. I went thru probably 12 napkins because it was dripping. The garlic butter was a nice flavoring. Overall for the price I paid it was meh. Can't compare it to In and Out or Shake Shack. read more

Service went down hill after we upset drive through lady asking about cheese?! Guess we need to study up on the menu better before we go again? Lady hands out shakes. 1 of them fell apart all over my center console. Lady watches it happen. No response. So I hand what's left of shake to lady who clearly doesn't want to deal with me. Indignantly she asks, do we need to make you another?,... Bad service and then find out they didn't fill our order as paid for when we got home!! No extra cheese or burger patty we ordered? No shakes for me. read more

The cashier who rang me and my coworker up was curt - not the happiest human. I totally get it, but I think her attitude could've been better - she most def. didn't want to be there. The line cook that replaced my warm fries with freshly dropped ones was so awesome - thank you, thank you! My coworker said I should return the fries since they weren't that good at all & so glad I listened to her! Also, he gave me a ton more fries - could've fed 3 people! I love their Double Steakburger. I think it's better than McDonald's or Wendy's...always juicy good! As far as fast good goes, Steak n' Shake is always my #1. Right now, you can get a Steakburger + small Classic Milkshake for $4 and +$1 for addition of fries. You don't have to twist my arms with this promotion - I know I'll return since this location is closest to where I work! read more

Steak ’n Shake - Double Steakburger - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Went thru the drive thru tonight (approximately 5:20pm 8/20/2023) during a downpour. Told the woman taking our order we had 4 meals so please bear with us. Gave her one order: triple steak burger plain, nothing on it. She replies a triple with cheese then? No, plain no cheese. We place the next order. She asks us to confirm and we do then nothing, No response. We say hello, no response. She finally comes on and we asked if she got the last order. Silence. We say hello, can you respond please it is pouring and I am getting wet. She replies, quite loudly "Oh my God can you give me time to read it!!" We said wow and we are going somewhere else. They lost 4 orders of meals and shakes. Horrible experience. read more

I used to eat here fairly regularly, now... a vending machine masquerading as a restaurant, the food was passable as far as burgers go but to rate the service... there was none except when some faceless voice boomed my name across the building, it was an empty box to eat, nothing more read more

It was a horrible experience from the beginning we waited and waited Every one got there food and we continued to waited. We ordered and continued to wait and when we got our food it was cold customers that got there as the same time as us legged ans ordered before us. We wanted to order mailshakes and nobody continued to serve us we. They forgot to give us our cookies and went elsewhere for our milkshakes read more

I've just seen the future of restaurants like this and I don't like it much! All those of you who have complained about the servers - they have solved that - THERE ARE NO SERVERS anymore. You order your own food on screens; pick up your food yourself and clear away after yourself and they'd like a tip please too. They just cook the food! I'm sure they're working on a way for us to cook our own food at our table (Black Rock style?)... You get more service from McDonalds! read more

No wait staff; order from terminal like a WaWa etc. The "future" of this chain is now in the hands of about 5 employees who customers have little contact with. I thought it sucked personally. Food was fine but the experience was a disappointment overall due to lack of cleanliness and the lack of employee interaction. No one thanked me for dining at this location. I feel that this concept will be the end of Steak 'n Shake much sooner than later. I will have fond memories from the past to remember this chain when they're gone. read more

I placed an order online which for some reason did not go through. The staff was lickety split to fill my order and get me out. The double cheese burger is the best burger I've eaten in years. Thank you!!! read more

Steak ’n Shake - a hot dog in a bun - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Yeap 1 star! Located across Plant high, one of the best schools in Tampa. Getting back to Steak n' Shake, this used to be my place. My friends and I always hung out for their shakes and amazing brownie sundae. I came for a brownie sundae which is one of my favorite things here. Warm brownie topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, fudge sauce, peanuts and cherry. OMG!! It's so damn good! Reminds me of my teenage years. I haven't been here in a while but this time was nothing special. There was a weird stench when you walk in the door, I had to discreetly cover my nose. It was awful! I changed my order to go because I couldn't stand the smell. I won't be back! read more

Steak ’n Shake - Brownie sundae. OMG! Thankfully it wasn't for me lol - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

very, very nice staff and best food I've had. Food is extremely cheap ($7 dollars for a burger combo compared to other areas that cost 10$.) Michale was the best, making sure everything was good. 10/10 restaurant. read more

Terrible service..the meat was raw and the service was terrible. The server was horrible and very mean. I used to love coming here..the food was great and the service too. Now...customer service classes are needed at this location. The treatment of the customers is really bad. I will never go to this place and i will deter my friends and family from going to get this treatment! read more

I haven't been to a steak 'n shake in a while and had a craving for it today. Being nostalgic we decided to sit inside instead of going through the drive through. We walked in and a sign greeted us stating "please wait to be seated." So we did, and we waited and waited as the employees (all huddled straight to the back) looked at us and kept going about their business (not actually doing much it seemed). Finally a young man came over and said we could sit where ever we wanted. Great! Not so great! There were 4 tables actually seated every other table was dirty. Littered with dirty dishes. Why were there so many dirty tables with not many patrons? Why were there a bunch of employees just huddled around the back area - no not the kitchen just the back of the restaurant? When we found a booth we thought was clean we realized it wasn't. I literally just walked out horrified. If that is how they treat/clean their restaurant I don't even want to know what their kitchen looks like or how they handle their food. Needless to say service was horrible. Do not come here, I do not recommend it. read more

They put raw onions on my burger I'm not upset they messed my order up I'm more upset at how the manger handled it and when they gave me back the burger it was cold and still have some raw onions on it, fries was cold manger on window was really rude when I asked for a refund this is really poor training and to build a business you need to make sure your managers have proper training Thanks read more

Remember when we'd go Steak 'n Shake in the middle of our college nights?? I remember going and waiting for at least 40 minutes before getting our food and the order was always messed up etc. BUT this time (fast forward 10 years later)... it wasn't half bad! Actually it was 3/5! I think it's a step up. Here's what was good about this location: was seated within 2 minutes. Got drinks within 5 minutes. And got our food within 15 minutes of first sitting down. That's actually pretty good! Now we all know their shakes are pretty bomb my wife got banana strawberry and I just mooches off of her (since I'm on a diet, haha). I got a grilled chicken salad with 1000 island dressing on the side - chicken was juicy and tender. Overall surprisingly good. My wife got a double stack but said it was so dry... took a bite and had to agree. Oh yea... got dinged on having my napkin (the one they wrap around the knife and fork) being dirty. read more

Just bad, forgot the sauce, drink is mostly ice, burger was just not edible. Chicken fingers were way overcoocked. Just go some place else

We normally come here for dessert, since the shakes are great. We enjoy the variety of flavors and there are new flavors every month. Another perk is being open 24 hours, so shake time is anytime. Service is usually hit or miss. We order a shake but aske for it to be split with no whip cream or cherry. This happens usually half the time. Tables are quickly cleaned and often the benches are not wiped clean. read more

I was dragged here by my drunk friend who was celebrating her birthday who was badly craving a grilled cheese sandwich. I don't mind eating at Steak n' Shake, I mind the disrespectful entitled drunks who have tendency to dine at these establishments late nights. I am still chuckling from a late night message I received a from a fellow Elite Yelper questioning my dining choice for that hour. Ahem..you know who you are J! It was just past midnight, so luckily the place was not too overcrowded. There were parents with kids (why God why?). Once again, yes school is out, but shouldn't they be home asleep? There were also some high school kids and then also several men going through their midlife crisis phases sitting at the dining counter. Kim was our server. She was very sweet and attentive and very easy to make conversation with. My friend finally ordered her Grilled Cheese sandwich, with fries and a side of pickles. The Grilled Cheese Sandwich looked amazing. It was grilled on Texas Toast! The fries and the pickles seemed soggy. Ms. Drunky McDrunkerson was incessantly complaining about the fries and pickles and she continued to shove them down her throat, then cleaned her plate! I ordered the Three-Way Chili. Yes, although it did not look aesthetically pleasing, it wasn't too bad. I had been craving spaghetti for weeks, but I have been trying to cut out carbs. Why not have some here with a "little something something"? There were an overabundance of chili beans, but I dealt with it. My friend ordered a Cookies and Cream Milkshake, but it took some time to make because they were short staffed. The manager was so kind to make one for her. Yes, It isn't my idea of fine dining, but definitely a good place for a late night snack! read more

im writing this review the customer service through drive through was spectacular. The lady behind the the mircophone was courteous and informative on pricing. And the presentation of the burger was spot on like it just stepped out of a commercia, better than any location I've ever had in Tampa, Riverview, and Brandon area. Thank you for your time and dedication t being your best for customer. read more

Shake machine constantly "broken".. I thought I went to Steak n Shake, not McDonald's. Should change their name to just Steak, hopefully I can get a medium rare one next time I go. Unless of course their steak machine is broken too. read more

The lady who served me made me wait 5 mins came over and never greeted me. i asked for med cheese fries and she gave me regular. she left after tell me the total again and came back couple mins later. I paid in cash and already set the money on the table. she came back and told me it's really rude to put the money on the table and have to hand it to her. gives me and attitude Worst customer service ever seen. read more

So, instead of take out, we thought we'd eat in. My husband reassured me that eating in is better, you get what you want and they treat you better... Well, not the case tonite. First, we sat in a 2-top booth and waited and waited. And during our wait realized there was a huge puddle under our feet slipping as we sat there. Finally, our server came and we told them about the 1/4" deep puddle and they promptly moved us. That was good. We ordered waters, mine without ice and with lemon on the side. Well, the water showed up with ice and the lemons were the most disgusting lemons I had ever seen. Got the water replaced without ice. Ordered our meals, mine came to me fine. I ordered apple sauce in place of the fries. I got a Musselmans snack pack of apple sauce. I suppose I should be thankful. It was just unexpected. And my husband's steak burger came with none of the fixins it's supposed to; lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard nor mayo. And neither of our milkshakes showed up. So we asked about the milkshakes and the steak burger's missing fixins and off back to the kitchen our server went. Our server seemed a bit annoyed at the kitchen for this foul-up. She brought all the fixins on the side, which looked nice, nothing rotten. But no milkshakes. I was done with my burger and applesauce and my husband was just starting into his and finally a milkshake came along. HIs was a chocolate malt. I tasted it. It was nice. Mine still hadn't shown up. When it did, I started in and tasted. And tasted again. Something was amiss. I tasted a little more and low and behold, it was a banana milkshake. If I had ordered a banana milkshake, it would have been good. Except I ordered an eggnog milkshake. Oh boy. So, it got returned. And I waited and waited for an eggnog milkshake. And while I'm waiting, eyeing my husband's milkshake, I noticed the glass was chipped all over one half of it. Some were pretty sharp edges. Not sure if it was broken for some time or just happened recently, but he was 1/2 way done with it before we even noticed. He could have sucked up glass in his straw or if he were attempting to drink directly from the glass, could have cut his mouth! NICE! When the replacement eggnog milkshake arrived, we pointed it out to our server. She appeared a bit shocked and advised the manager. But not once did we hear her say "I'm sorry". All we heard was how "they've" been doing this to her all night. Multiple excuses. No apologies. Sad. read more

Service was lacking and somewhat amusing. One waitress was having a bad day or issues with others. Our waitress barely remembered our order and shakes take forever. We found out the hard way that they need to ask for your burger toppings otherwise they come plain. We were hungry and ate the puny burgers before wondering where the tomato, lettuce and all were. Oh, she says that we needed to tell her and she should have asked. Duh! So the kiddos wanted McD (for the toys) and we tried. But I can't say that this is any better. You get what you pay for... And the poor guy waiting for his shakes for a long time was fuming at the counter. read more

South Tampa is so disappointing. Rude staff. Slow service. Waited through our entire meal to get our shakes. Then got them with attitude. Never again. read more

Horrible service and not clean. Floor and tables were sticky, trash on the floor. Our server took our drink order then gave us time to look at the menu, we ordered burgers. Another group of people came in and ordered shakes they got there shakes in 5 min. We continued to wait for ours. A few minutes go by and our server asks if we got our shakes yet. We said no. She brings our shakes and say "sorry I'm the only server" not sure how the other table got served then. Our food came out and it was decent but for sure nothing impressive read more
