Steak ‘n Shake

What can I say about this location? A lot of things are wrong with this location. You will spend a lot time here so if your in a hurry go somewhere else. We waited a long time to be seated 10 minutes, after being seated the host said our server would be right with us, another fithteen minutes later our comes along to take our drink order wich we also forced our food order at the same time since it was taking forever. Well we waited again for our drinks then waited a lot longer for our food and refills. Also had a lot of time to read reviews and have to agree with most of them. This location really needs to be retrained in lot of things and customer service. The food was good though.

The Frisco sauce and their special seasoning are what make it delicious. It’s a good place for late night meals, but many times there are middle school and high school students here until it’s their curfew. I’ve been coming here for years. I usually get be banana milkshake, but tried the Nutella milkshake. Both are good. Service isn’t perfect but can’t expect great since it is a fast food place.

Showed up tonight with a group of about 15 or so. The employees looked scared and no one wanted to help us. One employee said he was going to hide in the back because they couldn’t handle our group. We stood there for several minutes waiting while the employees just kept working and ignored us. Several tables needed cleaned off but no one was in much of a hurry. We left and took our business to BW3s where we had a great time and got right in. You missed out Steak n Shake. And by the way, your restaurant is nearly always dirty anyway… yuck

I will NEVER go to this location again. I had ordered a chocolate milkshake through the drive thru. The shake did not taste correct at all (almost like the blenders weren’t clean or flavors were mixed) so I went into the store and politely explained this to the cashier and asked if another could be made. Cashier was very nice and asked the person making shakes to make another and why. Person making the shakes was rude to the cashier and made an extremely rude and inappropriate comment about how there was now «extra chocolate» in the shake when handing new shake to me. The second shake tasted even worse than the first and I suspect the person who made the shake may have intentionally altered it somehow. I threw the shake away. I will now go out of my way to the Wilmington Pike location if I ever want Steak ‘n Shake

I love Steak ‘n Shake. They’ve got a unique taste in the burgers and fries, and some of the best milkshakes around. If you’re a fan of garlic the garlic burger is to die for!
However, the drive through at this location is prone to mistakes. I don’t believe it’s difficult to put Swiss cheese on a burger yet this location absolutely refuses to do so for me. I’m writing this review as I wait to have my order fixed because I’m tired of this happening repeatedly.

We got sat at a dirty table, pickles and food smashed on the floor. We got no silverware or napkins. The staff is never friendly, and the kitchen staff’s appearance is much to be desired. Our waitress disappeared for at least 10 – 15 mins without warning, other waitresses were coming to check on us, came back smelling like a cigarette. I couldn’t wait to pay our bill and get out of there! (Which no one bothered to ask how our meal was or anything… Again, unfriendly).

Ah man, I love coming to this place whenever I visit Ohio! We don’t have this in California so I’m probably one of the few that actually get excited about coming to this place when I can. They have a great selection of shakes and I like it because it’s not overly sweet. I’ve tried their mint and strawberry shake. Both were very tasty and again, not overly sweet which is what I like. So those who have a sweeter tooth than I do, you might not like it as much as I do. Their burgers are so juicy and delicious! I love their thin cut fries as well. They’ve got a new thing where you can season your fries for an extra 25 cents I believe. They’ve got Parmesan and herbs, salt & vinegar and I forgot what the third one is — how useful, right? It is also very affordable and they’ve always got different deals going on. So make sure you look at the posters in front of the restaurant. From my experience, our waitresses didn’t seem too social or interactive. Not saying that they weren’t friendly because they were. They just took our order, checked up on us once, waited until we were done, here’s your check and done. I didn’t mind that; I’m just glad she checked on us at least once. Leave me to my fooooood. This place is cheap, affordable, décor is cute, shakes are awesome, and that’s all I really have to say.

Decent food at a low cost. Steak N Shake is good because it is open late so if you are up late and don’t want crappy fast food, stop on by.

*3.5 Stars*
No frills, 50’s burger motif with a modern twist kind of place. Reminds me of White Mana but not on the same level.
The main item to order here is a burger… then maybe a shake.
I had the double burger with cheese as I didn’t want to kill the flavor with additions of guac or crazy stuff. The double is like having a single elsewhere. The good news is if you sit at the counter you can watch your burger being prepared. It’s about half the size, smashed when completed… kind of disappointing but good nonetheless. I opted not to have a shake which I wish I went for one because they all looked delicious.
For $ 4 you get a double burger and fries, freshly made. Not many fries though but for the price, you get what you pay for.
Servers were friendly but the food did take a bit of time and the place wasn’t even that busy.
Enjoy!

Whoa! I’m not the first to review this fine roadside establishment???
Anyways, I was on a long stretch of a deserted road (@ least to me, being from LA, it seemed deserted) during a thunderstorm looking for the trusted, tried and true McD’s, when I happened to see a sign blaring «meals for under $ 4!» And «Steaks ‘N Shakes». So instead of driving for who knows how much longer to get to mcd’s, I decided to give this place a try.
it’s got that quaint retro johnny rocket-​esque feel to it. as for the food, ironically, i ordered their «californian burger» which tasted sort of like if big mac and double double had a love child. the best thing about it was their service… but then that may be chalked up to this being in ohio where ppl have been extremely friendly.
ok, a correction, my server informed me that dorothy lane is in fact one of the two major thoroughfares in the city. so go figure on my thinking that this was on a deserted road.
nevertheless, i’m glad i got to try out steak n’ shakes, which i’m guessing is like a ohioan counterpart to in-​n-​out.

Some of my favorite food when I am coming home from the bars in Dayton. When I worked at Masque I hit the drive thru every Saturday night,
Open 24 hours 365 days a year. I ordered breakfast here once and it was greasy good, For dinner I go with grilled cheese and fries with a side of their yummy honey mustard dressing. That stuff is like crack to me.
Their steak burgers are not all that, but their shakes are primo. Can’t go wrong. Highly recommended after a night of imbibing at the local bars.
