Steak ’n Shake - Western BBQ 'n Bacon Steakburger Combo, Frisco Melt Combo - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Aight. First and foremost, this place is no Freddy's. It's not even close. Freddy's is amazing and I love it. It is however far saltier, and a bit more savory in other directions. The fact that this place is NOT Freddy's is... maybe good. The burgers aren't AS crispy, or salty. However that isn't bad. The meat is flat as expected, but good and crispy. The fries, need salt. Otherwise, fast, not super expensive, and good. read more

Came in for the Frisco Burger and was not disappointed! Fries were crisp. Burger was hot. Very tasty. I liked their special sauce. The woman behind the counter (Marlene) was so friendly!!! Went out of her way to make us feel welcome! Restaurant was very clean and cheery atmosphere. The only negative thing I could say is that the restaurant smelled very "beefy". read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Yo, that birthday cake milkshake was everything--sweet, creamy, and exactly what I needed after a long drive! I usually stop by this Steak 'n Shake when I'm visiting Joshua Tree (my yearly tradition). The burgers are solid--classic, no-frills, and always hit the spot. I always grab a bottle of their house seasoning on the way out. It's a game-changer for my homemade fries and burgers at home! Overall, I give this spot a solid 8. Consistent, nostalgic, and always satisfying. Service is always just OK. Honestly pricing is great. Ambience is a bit off. read more

It was really good! Full size sliced pickles were great. Choice of sides between onion rings, tater tots, and French fries was fun. They were all good, too. Lots of flavors for the shakes and those were good, too. It was really busy while we were there, but staff was super nice and inside was super clean. read more

Yummy shake and delicious burgers! The line was a little long but understandable, and fries were a lot smaller than imagined but very delicious and I love that everything is fried in tallow! Great place for burgers highly recommend. read more

Steak 'n Shake is the gem of Yucca Valley! It was truly an oasis in the midst of a desolate drive to Joshua Tree. Service was excellent, restaurant was tidy and air conditioned, and the food was delicious. If anyone is in the palm desert area, I'd highly recommend this spot on a road trip read more

Got the OG double and wife got the garlic single and we liked them a lot. First time here and we thought this place was amazing. The people running this place did a great job keeping it clean and were very nice and friendly. 10/10 would try again especially because it wasn't super expensive and quality of the food was great. read more

My first time trying out a steak & shake and color me impressed! Everything from the burgers, fries to shake are higher quality than most chain fast food restaurants. Their fries are fried in beef tallow. I was also met with wonderful service from Marlene. I couldn't have been any happier with this tiny pit stop. Thank you! read more

First time trying Steak & Shake and the staff made it a memorable one. Little Tim and Big Tim are the best, Cesar I saw him cleaning an already clean bathroom, guess nobody pisses on his floors and gets away with it. Super clean establishment, very professional staff and did I mention this location is spotless. Almost forgot, the food is amazing as well. read more

love this place! I'm always greated and food is delicious! Nice and clean all the time and the service is amazing!

REVISED 3/29/25. Jorge The general manager reached out and listened to me personally. I also went back to the restaurant today, and had a fantastic experience. The manager today was super friendly as well as her staff. One of the workers gave my dog a pup cup. This place does still have the best fast food burgers, I would suggest corporate uses a thousand island sauce on their base burgers instead of ketchup. I think it will catch on like it did for IN and Out. Anyways, this place is a gem in the desert. ORIGINAL REVIEW First off the food is fantastic. The burgers are the best fast food burger you can get. The fries are decent. I can't really tell they are cooked in Tallow fat, as they advertise outside of the restaurant. Although, I am usually very happy with this place. I am leaving a one star review because of a manager's actions. Of all the restaurant personnel. the manager (apparently his name is Tim- older guy with a black polo shirt and red stripes on the side) is the one with the attitude. I don't know what I did to piss him off but he was not happy with me from the minute he saw me. I saw him ready to bring my food outside to my table, then handed the food to a girl employee to hand to me. He gave me negative vibes of which, I didn't put 2 and 2 together until, I got a refill on my soda and under his breath he said "this is the 4th time this guys been in here!" Well, I am dining at the restaurants and there are no signs that refills are limited, why is this manager eyeballing me? Usually the manager of a restaurant is THE most courteous and professional employee, but not this guy. When I tried taking a photo of him to complain to corporate, he started hiding in the back (at the grille). I've never had issues at this store before. The managers are always very welcoming and even offer my dog a free pup cup. The only thing I'd expect from this problem manager is probably spit in my food. read more

Comfort Food at Its Best! From the moment I walked into Steak 'n Shake, I knew I was in for something good. The service was quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly -- the kind where your server makes sure your drink is never empty and checks in just enough without hovering. And the food... oh, the food! My burger was a masterpiece -- a perfectly seared steakburger patty with that crave-worthy caramelized crust, layered with fresh, crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, and melty cheese that wrapped around each bite like a warm hug. The toasted bun had just the right amount of buttery softness, holding everything together without stealing the spotlight. The fries? Golden, crispy perfection -- thin, light, and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you're full. And the milkshake... rich, creamy, and indulgent, like dessert in its most decadent form. Every sip was a reminder why they put "shake" right in the name. Steak 'n Shake delivers exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food that's both satisfying and flavorful. Between the excellent service and the unforgettable food, this is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. read more

We had Steak n Shake delivered to our Airbnb in Joshua Tree and it was great! Burgers were delicious and came with all the fixings, the chicken tenders were very good as well. The fries are very thin (shoestring) and weren't my favorite. I think probably they just did not hold up well being delivered, which was the only negative. Definitely recommend for a good burger! read more

Stopped in for a quick burger, cuz I haven't been to steak 'n Shake for a while. Boy was I surprised exactly what I ordered and very hot. It was a very tasty burger. So much better than anything that the Mc clown can make. I got the double steak burger and it was great. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Single bacon cheeseburger. - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Stopped by on the way to Joshua Tree. Clean place, seating indoors and a couple spots outside. They have self order machines and cashiers too which makes ordering easy and fast. Food was good and ingredients fresh. Ordered the double cheeseburger combo with cheese fries on the side. Love their relish mustard and grilled onions toppings. They offer other items and have a kids menu too with hotdogs, chicken tenders and more. Great service! Marlene was awesome, friendly and helpful and she was taking care of everyone! read more

First time here. Way better than Shake Shack. Exactly burgers, fries and shakes! Very yummy!!!

Perfect bang for your buck meal, pricing and portions are extremely fair priced. Very nice classic diner design inside and it reminds me of a Ruby's Diner sort of. Can't say too much about service because there's only kiosks but that made it very easy to get food. Overall, the perfect spot to eat and go for a fantastic spot. read more

It was my first time trying this place and I thought it definitely was worth the try. We got the Oreo mint milkshake and birthday cake milkshake AND IT WAS DELICIOUS. I felt that the burgers could have been better but nonetheless I would recommend you try this place! read more

The food is excellent and I am so happy with the customer service. I came through town to make a quick stop to feed my kids and the staff here was warm and welcoming. They got the food out quickly and even gave my girls stickers and hats. I felt so welcomed here. The establishment is clean and the ambiance is fun with great music. I'll definitely recommend anyone make a quick stop to grab some great clean food on your way through town. read more

I was extremely disappointed with the service at my most recent visit. Looking around it was a little busy but no lines or anything plus no drive thru line. Somehow I ended up waiting 30+ minutes for my order that wasn't even complicated!! By the time I even got it, the shake I had gotten was completely melted and unenjoyable with fries anymore (which I was very excited for). Would be great if management would hire an extra worker to help with this so customers don't leave dissatisfied like I did. Not planning on coming back anytime soon! read more

Good Food, Not sure why people are leaving bad reviews. Maybe it is just an isolated incident. I've eaten here multiple times and it's always been good food. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Counter - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

I've always loved Steak 'n Shake since I was a kid, went there with family a ton, and then with friends in high school. Ever since they got bought it's felt like Steak 'n Shake has really gone down hill, people expect McDonald's prices even though there were still waiters serving them (the amount of times I've seen people leave little to no tip on an already small bill is horrendous-don't go out to eat if you can't afford to tip!) Anyway, I've accepted Steak 'n Shake just won't be what it used to, but I still crave their chili and shakes, so I wanted to give this one a try. It totally made my day! While it was a condensed version of the Steak 'n Shake I grew up with, the food was really good. My order came out perfectly. All of the staff I interacted with were very kind and helpful. Marlene helped us when we had a question about our order on the self-serve kiosk, and she was so nice. I really hope other Steak 'n Shakes can follow in this one's footsteps. I also hope Steak 'n Shake franchise owners will increase the pay for their employees, this is not traditional fast food, people shouldn't expect McDonald's/Taco Bell prices. Alright I'll leave it there I will definitely come back here anytime I'm in the desert. read more
