Steak ‘n Shake

We began our food tour with the lively and classic Midwestern food chain, Steak ‘n Shake. Walking in around 12:40 a.m. on a Thursday night, we were expecting to enjoy a quiet and quick meal. Instead, the restaurant was upbeat and busy from the start, and because of this, we waited awhile to be seated when we first arrived and waited even longer to have our orders put in.

This was annoying, but with this big of a crowd late at night, it was understandable. As the meal went on, we were even more satisfied because of the waiter and the service. Overall, our waiter was energetic and funny and gave us the best service that he could have in the midst of all of the other tables he had to serve.

Our food was pretty good, but it was not as fresh as we would have liked it to be. The burgers were fine, but the fries seemed like they had been sitting on the warmer for a while and were therefore a little soggy, which was disappointing. Although, the shakes were as fantastic as blended ice cream can possibly be.
