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

Steak ’n Shake - 3 PC Chicken Fingers Combo - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Was a really windy day and was prolonging heading back to camp at Joshua tree. Figured cooking & fire would be a no-go at camp so decided to eat in town and spotted this place. I had never heard of this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Walked in and it was bright and clean. There are about 4-5 ordering kiosks. Wasn't greeted by any employees and employee interaction was extremely limited for myself and other customers I saw walk in. This might of been a bad thing but they were so efficient that it worked. Placing the order was super easy on the kiosks and our food only took a few minutes. I ordered the #1 combo which was a double cheese burger with fries/drink. I also added a medium onion rings. The burger (while thin) was really really good! Tasted just off the grill at home. No fake taste here. I really loved the skinny fries, they were crispy and tasted great! It reminded me of another chain where a certain number of guys make burgers and hand out peanuts but this burger here tasted sooo much better! Unfortunately, they don't have any locations in the state I live but I would definitely visit again when I'm back in CA (or back east where they are more prevalent). read more

Steak ’n Shake - Double burger with cheese combo with onion rings - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

Great service and food this is the only place I can eat a plain hamburger patty by it self it's so tasty and good.

First time trying this place out since i was in town. The service was pretty quick, workers were nice, the food was actually delicious my family loved it. Their milkshake looks good i gotta give that a try next time I'm in the area again! read more

I was an out of towner and looking for a quick bite and surprisingly the burger was pretty good and tasty kind of like In and Out Burger and love the fries too. The service was good and refillable soda. 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

Service was outstanding. We ordered on the app, got there 15 minutes early and they prepared our order on the spot. Facility was spotless, including the restrooms. Food was delicious. We will be back! Travel through about once a month read more

Super friendly and helpful staff, and the shakes and hamburgers are great, my only recommendation it is to order double or triple because the patties are thin read more

Omg Isabella, you're amazing! Thank you so much for the incredible customer service, you were so kind, helpful, and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. I really appreciate how attentive and welcoming you were. It's not every day you get service that genuinely makes your day better. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends because of you. Keep being awesome! Also, yess gym girlie!!! read more

I love this location! It's my favourite and I always come here with my wife. Honestly, if this location wasn't here, I'd probably die because there's no other food to eat in this desert! The service is amazing! when I'm inside, I feel like I'm in a nice place to let my gard down. read more

Best fries I've ever had!! And the shake was delicious as well. Please open more locations in northern CA!!

This was a phenomenal fast food stop. Very clean inside. The food was really good. I had the Frisch melt and I would for sure order it again. Also impressed with the size and quality of the chicken strips. The shakes were really good and refreshing. The service was perfect. Our group of seven was really impressed with how nice the staff were. They made sure to double check that we had everything and that we had extra napkins. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food tastes great, the service is always quick, I like the veterans discounts and Veterans Day deals, the ambiance of the restaurant is a classic retro style that I appreciate, and the best part is that they cook with beef tallow. read more

Stopped in while visiting Joshua Tree and excited to try this joint because there's none back home in the West Coast. You order on kiosk up front so it's easy breezy. Restaurant is clean and spacious. Vibes are chill. Can't wait to try the chili :) read more

Steak ’n Shake - Double Steakburger Double Cheese Combo - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

First and last time getting food from steak and shake. The burger was so small I thought my girlfriend was playing a prank on me. The fresco melt, supposed to be 2 patties and two types of cheese, somehow only made it out with one patty and one cheese. Service was good though, for what it's worth. read more

Nice place. Quick stop for lunch with my uncle and daughter. We've never been to an S N S. We all got kids meals. Weren't terribly hungry after some hikes in JT so we figured what the hell. The burgers are pretty good. Real beef. Fries as well. And the shakes are really good. Crazy thick--you can't suck right thru the straw, which is great. Happy with this place and recommend if you want a fast and tasty burger meal. read more

Great burgers and the fries are so good and skinny Great service Very clean place and younger crowd hang out spot read more

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

Meh. I went inside to order and used the self service ordering. Got a double, onion rings and a banana shake with no whipped cream. Order was filled in about 10 minutes with myself & one other person waiting. I walked out with my bag, not realizing I didn't have my shake. Returned and gave the gal my order number & said my shake was missing. She went to their fridge and got it out & handed it to me. It had whipped cream on top. I just accepted it and left. A couple of the onion rings were burnt. Mediocre spend of $15.75. read more

This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. I returned against my better judgment after having a terrible experience here not long after it opened. At least this time the food didn't suck like it did the last time I was here but the service is still just as terrible. I ordered a chocolate milkshake after I ate my meal. Nothing fancy just a chocolate milkshake with no whipped cream and no cherry. A woman ordered two milkshakes after me. The woman who ordered after I did left with a strawberry milkshake and a chocolate milkshake so I went up and asked where my milkshake was and I was told they're having problems with the machine so I went and sat back down. After an inordinate amount of time I went back up and asked what happened to the chocolate milkshake and they said oh you're still waiting for that? So I went and sat back down after several more minutes I went up and said you know what, forget the chocolate milkshake give me my refund and they made me wait another 10 minutes before they give me my money back. You would think a place whose name is steak 'n shake could get serving a customer a milkshake right? That steak 'n shake occupies a building that would be a really good place to put a real restaurant. read more

Love this place! Super friendly and fast service. I like the shakes and the burgers are great! Fries are super thin I like it. Very clean too read more

For what it's worth, I wasn't anticipating enjoying this fast food restaurant as much as I did. Interior is very clean with the white and red paint and decor. Employees were polite and handled our order correctly. Wait time was not quick but was short (they had other customers both inside and in the drive-thru). Food presentation was good and the food was actually quite good. I really enjoyed the chili sauce (ask for it!) on both my cheeseburger and fries. I will go here again when I'm needing a fast meal. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Single Steakburger with cheese and fries - Burgers Near Me - Yucca Valley, California

So I completely messed up an order that I placed. When I got home I got yelled at lol, so I went back to see if I could get it fixed "completely my fault". Kelsey took my order originally and was there when I came back. She was amazing and greeted me with a smile and only wanted me to be happy no matter what. She understood the situation and went above and beyond. I could see her being the manager there some day. I mainly went here to try the beef tallow fries but Kelsey made my day so much better when it went down hill fast lol. Thank you Kelsey! read more

A long day's hike requires refueled sustenance. Although my preference would have been pot roast and veggies, the choices were limited after 9 p.m. Steak and Shake was quite popular. Despite the crowd and limited employees, the food was hot and freshly prepared. I ordered a steak hot dog with chili and cheese, fries and strawberry shake. And chicken tenders with fries. All the food was eaten but it was staple and edible. I was expecting a bigger and longer hot dog. Probably out of greed because I didn't even finish it. Three chicken tenders were in the adult order. The strawberry shake and the Nutella shake were worth recommending. There are so many shake concoctions to choose from. The extra star is for customer service, restaurant cleanliness and service with a smile. read more

I had a garlic double burger combo. The burger and fries were freshly made and very delicious. It's a great meal for the price. Also, don't forget THE banana milkshake. Thanks, Julie, for the warm greeting and the kind recommendations. Definitely, see you again! read more

WOW!!! Amazing burgers. Both the original and the Frisco will not disappoint. The shakes were an added bonus.

I went here a few days ago with my dad for lunch. I ordered the garlic double steakburger combo, and that was probably the best hamburger I've ever had from a fast food place! It's a good thing I don't live closer (I'm down the hill in Palm Springs), or I'd be eating those burgers as often as my budget would allow. The place is a little spendy at almost $10 for the combo, but I would definitely do it again. The guy behind the counter was definitely not excited to be there, but he was courteous nonetheless. The bathroom was stocked and clean. read more

Wow the food got even better from the last time we were here. The Orange Dreamsickle freeze milkshake was the best shake I've had in years! The burger and cheese fries were full of flavor. The perfect amount. The service was phenomenal. They have self check out kiosks but I prefer help from the staff. That is probably the only thing I didn't like. Besides that we had such a good experience. I wish there were more around. read more

Everybody that works here is very friendly and the food smells amazing. Burger was delicious.

Steak and Shake is THE best!! We are originally from the east coast where this was a staple growing up. Recently during our visit to Joshua Tree, we ran across Steak and Shake where this was an easy choice as we made a turn into the parking lot. The restaurant was clean, service was great/quick and the food was fresh!! read more

I walked in and it was super clean. There was no one in the front on registers which was weird. I suppose this is The New normal. What was off putting was that no one greeted me to say hi. And two older customers were having trouble using the kiosk and there was no one there to help them. One of the customers was yelling into the back asking for help and it took about 5 minutes and him constantly yelling before someone finally came. Now on to the food. I ordered the garlic butter double burger and it was delicious. Got the small order of fries and a regular drink with that. All very good especially if you use their special seasoning. Do not look for a great service at this location for a smiling face. But the food is definitely worth it. I guess I will get my friendly smile somewhere else read more

This place is great , very welcoming ! Good service is good! Burgers are delicious , clean restaurant.

Got the combo hot dog. The hot dog was good it hit the spot and the fries are tasty. The only compliant is that my fries were a little short so they were interesting to eat. Overall I would come back and try some more stuff on the menu. The interior is also really nice plenty of seating. read more

We wanted to try a good burger place so we stopped at the Steak n' Shake. The place was full. There was food and drinks spilled on the floor. It was dirty. We still ordered burgers and shakes. We found a clean booth and ate our food there. The meat in our burgers was paper thin. The burgers were plain and had no taste. The only good thing was the strawberry shake. We will not be going there again. read more
