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

The food here is always made fresh to order! My personal favorite is the garlic burger with their perfectly crispy beef tallow tater tots and honey mustard sauce. There is a self ordering counter and the food comes out pretty quick depending how busy it is. The ambiance is clean and gives an old school diner vibe. Always a must when going to Joshua tree and needing a quick easy bite to eat! read more

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

This is my new favorite fast food burger joint. The garlic burger is something I highly recommend. I added lettuce tomato and onion. The bun was soft and garlicky. The tallow fried tater tots were so crispy and had that slight beef flavor. You must add their fry seasoning on top. Sad that this location is so far from me. It's a reasonable price for the quality. This cost a little over 8 dollars? Next time I would get the double. read more

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

We've been stationed in 29 Palms for three years, and this was my first time at Steak 'n Shake. I wish I'd tried it sooner! The fries are better than McDonald's (and for me, no fast food has come even close to fresh McDonald's fries), and the burgers are delicious. The restaurant was clean and service was fast. A++ experience! read more

The staff is very attentive and friendly, made me and my kids feel very welcomed. The place is actively kept clean and fresh! The meat is a mix of steaks which makes these burgers unique and packed with flavor!! Wish they had a location out in Los Angeles, til next time Steak 'n Shake read more

Steak ’n Shake - Western BBQ 'n Bacon Steakburger Combo, Frisco Melt Combo - 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

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.

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

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

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

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

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
