As for cheese

My burger was not good. It wasn't fresh. no service like no service. The ambience wasn't giving.

Rear portion of the dining room
Krystle M.

Stopped in for lunch last week with a colleague while on break from doing work at a nearby warehouse. The site where we were doing our work that day is not located in an area that affords us many lunch options, but after having heard countless radio ads touting Steak 'n Shake's Prime Steakburger, I decided that we must stop in to give it a try. The restaurant was pretty busy when we came in but a server quickly stopped by and seated us near the rear of the dining room. She promptly took our orders, brought us our drinks, and we were left to converse while we waited for our food - for 45 minutes. Mind you, it was right around noon and the place was jam-packed with various contractors on break, manual labor employees, and of course the regular business casual 9-5ers. It appeared that only 2 servers were assigned the entire dining room. We never even got a drink refill because our server was running around taking care of so many diners. Being on a work schedule, by the time we got our food, we basically needed our checks, and so did every other table in the restaurant. As for the food, our Prime Steakburgers were pretty good -- although our server totally botched our requests for various additions/subtractions since she was relying on memory rather than writing the orders down. We were starving so we downed our burgers and fries anyway, then began hunting for our server in search of our bill since we were due back to work any minute. With no sign of her, we decided to head to the front and see if we could get someone to print the bill for us. My colleague spotted our server at another table and noticed that she was making her rounds with everyone's check at the same time. Which meant, we were all due to wait in line and cash out together. It took us about 10 total minutes to pay out and everyone in the line seemed about as frustrated as we did. In sum, if you're planning on coming to this location during the work week lunch rush, either go before 11:30 a.m. or after 1 p.m. OR prepare to wait for very average service.

Double bacon cheeseburger
Michael N.

I am quite shocked !!!!!! Me being a foodie and having developed palette for great tasting food. I got a traditional double bacon cheeseburger with fries and I was impressed! I don't eat McDonald's or anything of that nature, I don't know if you'd consider this to be fast food because your dining in as well as they serve you on plates. everything was prepared freshly not greasy and tasty. Really inexpensive for Quick good eats! A must!!!

Empty space

Food is good but there is no service any more. You walk in and the bar is now kiosk to order your food from. No one days hi.

Nooot entirely sure what was on these napkins...
Sarah S.

So... this was kind of a weird experience. I've been to many Steak 'n Shakes. I pretty much know what to expect. I expect the service to be a bit slow. I'm not expecting a 5-star experience. But this was... something else. We showed up after leaving Howl-o-Scream, arriving around 11:45--prime Steak 'n Shake time in my opinion and experience. We were hungry and wanted to hang out and get a simple meal and milkshakes. When we parked out front in the empty parking lot, we noticed that the chairs were put up on the tables in the center of the restaurant, as you would normally see when a restaurant is closed. We questioned ourselves for a second, wondering if Steak 'n Shake, famed for being open 24/7, could be closed at 11:45 at night. We decided it had to be open and went inside. After about a minute a server came up and asked us if we were eating in or dining out. We told her we were eating in and she didn't seem to like that answer very much but led us to a table... I should point out that there was only one other table sat at this point and no other customers in the establishment. I decided to just be super thankful and polite and our server seemed to warm up to us, acting more friendly to us as the night went on. That and the fact that the food was consistent to that at other Steak 'n Shakes that I've visited (other than the peanut butter in my milkshake being a little clumpy) were the only positive things, unfortunately. The thing that was the biggest deal breaker for me, though, was the cleanliness issue. Attached I have two pictures that I took, one of the crumbs littered all over the bench from the moment I sat down, and one of some mysterious substance staining the napkins our server brought us... We set those napkins aside and just used the ones the utensils were wrapped in. Yikes.

Drive thru
Daniel C.

Wow, so I called this location and asked if we can place a to go order. I was informed I could do it online, so I did. Only to find out that we STILL have to wait in the drive thru line to pick up our food that was placed 20 minutes prior to getting there. So not only will my food be cold by the time the 10 cars in front of me get their food. I've wasted a lot of time and honestly I would have just placed my order in the drive thru had I known this. After this experience I'll take my business else where that actually takes their customers time into consideration. Get a better system because this one isn't working. I've been able to write this review and am still 3 cars behind. If I could rate 0 stars I would.

Original Prime Steakburger 'n Fries
Raian R.

Quiet discreet and cheap exactly what I asked service was good only issue is the time they take to take the food out the kitchen all of the family were full and happy and even wanted more food, it was spectacular the hostess was really good kept a constant eye out for all our needs.

We both got the chicken sandwich meal that came with fries and a drink since neither one of us tried anything but the fries. The sandwich was incredible!!!

I'm a mayonnaise person but this was way better than just mayo. The owners were polite and very helpful since I couldn't decide what to order. I strongly suggest anyone to try Holy Fries!!!!

The burger was juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a smashburger, and the wings were really good too. I also like the thoughtful touch of them giving you disposable gloves so your hands don't get messy while eating -- small thing, but much appreciated. The food here is consistently good, which is why we keep coming back. The only thing I've found a little inconsistent is the mint lemonade. Sometimes it's great, other times I wish I'd skipped it. That said, the food itself is always on point. Service is really good too, so I'm only taking one star off for the lemonade.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!…read more I came here with my family on a holiday (due to my student's high recommendation). We ordered the FAMILY PLATTER with chicken shawarma.

We ordered and immediately noticed that the place was full of people with numbers on their tables and no food, so we were prepared for a wait. We definitely did wait. It took about 20 minutes to get our food after we ordered. We were in no hurry, so it wasn't really a huge deal. We both ordered bowls. I got a chicken kofta bowl with rice, hummus, and cucumbers. My boyfriend got the lamb kofta bowl with rice, baba ganoush and salad. When our food arrived, the lamb came out with my sides and the chicken came out with my boyfriend's sides. It's an easy fix as we just swapped koftas, but this really should not have happened. Our first impression was slow service and orders not correct, so it was not the best start. The food was delicious, though. We both enjoyed our koftas. In fact, I would order the chicken again and again. The hummus had the best texture. The salad was exceptional. The baba ganoush was the star of the show. Would get it again and again. The rice is delicious. I would come back for the food. The service needs a little work.

I went there today to pick up an order I placed through Uber Eats. Usually, when you pick up an Uber Eats order yourself, they don't require a verification code. However, when I went to the front and gave my name to the cashier, she asked if I had proof of the order. I told her no, as I had ordered on my computer and didn't have a code. She insisted she needed verification. My phone wasn't working at the moment, which I don't blame her for, but the way she handled the situation was incredibly frustrating. I waited 20 minutes before I actually got my food. The cashier stood there talking on her phone, claiming she needed to ask her manager, but she never actually did. I didn't hear her explain the situation or ask anyone for help. Instead, she just stayed on her phone and eventually slid the food over to me. There was no apology for the wait, no "here you go," and no "have a nice day." She just slid it over with a smile while still chatting on her phone. It felt like she was purposely inconveniencing me. As soon as I mentioned that I had my ID to prove who I was, it was suddenly no issue, and she handed it over without ever checking with a manager. Very disappointing experience. While the food itself still tastes good, it is simply no longer worth the money or the poor treatment. I never expected over the top, bubbly customer service, the staff that used to work here would just get the job done without the fake enthusiasm, and that was perfectly fine. But there is a massive difference between a worker just trying to get through their shift and one who actively goes out of their way to keep you waiting while talking on the phone. Between the disrespectful service and the shrinking portions, this place just isn't what it used to be.

Hands down best chicken sandwich spot- consistent, straight forward and fairly priced…read more Service is great and you can get 2 chicken sandwiches and fries for like 13 bucks AND it's delicious.

With a kiosk/mobile order exclusive system, I was hopeful and thought thiis would streamline service but it doesn't. This is right off I-4 so I can only imagine how many people stop in for a quick bathroom break and a bite to eat... frustrating that it isn't such a "quick" pitstop after all. I gave them the benefit of the doubt since there were others waiting so 15 minutes later they called my number and placed 1 bag on the counter for me and walked away. only half my order came out (1 of 3 meals, 0 of 3 drinks.) Staff hid in the back the entire time so it takes quite some time to flag someone down with any issues or requests. When someone did come out and noticed I was still waiting by the counter, she questioned what I was missing so I listed it off and included all the sauce. She came back another 5 minutes later with just the drinks and no additional food or sauce. 25 minutes for some nuggets and milkshakes are just not it. I suggest to find another pitstop elsewhere.
