Is Steak and Shake good? Never see anyone complain about it nor sing it's praises, odd for a fast food joint on this board

[Anonymous No.11863055]

It's only ok. Shakes are pretty good. Fries suck. Price is cheap

[Anonymous No.11863057]

only ever go there for a shake every 2 months so I don't really have an opinion on their food

It's hard to make a smash burger taste bad, cheese is nice and melty too.

[Anonymous No.11863059]

>>11863049
It's not odd. They're not a large chain and most people here aren't living in the midwest where most of their locations are.

This person has everything right. Their burgers are okay and inexpensive. Their shakes are good, and their fries are literal woodchip splinters with either way too little or way too much salt.

Best burger place for my money
>Garlic cheeseburger
>BBQ cheeseburger
>Mushroom and swiss
>Guac and pepperjack burger
>Frisco cheeseburger
>Other delicious limited run burgers
>Hotdogs
>Tendies
>Fries (regular, or seasoned with cajun or parmesan)
>Lots of milkshake options

And the best part... I've ordered a garlic double value meal, added an additional guac/jack burger, and added a shake, and got the whole thing for under $9. This place gives me the same feeling as finding a 50% off sale or lots of money lying on the ground. It's fast food but the taste and variety are easily fast casual tier. Plus their staff seems more competent and focused than average. This place is the definition of underrated. Even days where I'm like "ewww fast food," I have to admire how legitimate this place is in a landscape of gimmicky fuckshit

theres a ton in nyc/queens wtf r u talking about

[Anonymous No.11863275]

the last time I went there, I ordered a shake and an order of onion rings.
first thing I notice was the onion rings were soaked in oil. but the worst part was the overwhelming flavor of mushrooms. the all girl crew must of been strapped for time and instead of using the flat top to cook the mushrooms, they put them in the deep fryer.
I won't be going back

I think the burgers are great, better than in-n-out, but because of coastal elitism no one would ever say that without expecting to be mocked

why am i the only person who knows what literally means
their fries are dry, use ketchup

The first time I ever heard of Steak and Shake was on the Ron and Fez radio show in NYC though, I always assumed they were an East Coast place

I've had better burgers at red Robin's than at in-n-out fuck west coasters

[Anonymous No.11863316]

>everyone saying it's cheap
literally the only reason why i've never gone is because i assumed the steak would be expensive

>Steak 'n Shake is an American casual restaurant chain located primarily in the Midwest
>Today, Steak 'n Shake restaurants are located in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia.

Ron and Fez used to live in Florida and have spent plenty of time in shittier places than NYC, so that might be why

Only one where I live closed down before I tried it because it opened up a mile from the closest highway.

[Anonymous No.11863508]

Most of their locations are in the Midwest. Your comment about New York doesn't change how most of their locations are in the Midwest so I don't know what you're trying to say here.

the bottom part is about nyc you idiot?

[Anonymous No.11863536]

The food is good but never go in the drive-thru, "Hot Food Fresh" is a great idea but doesn't work good on a 4 minute time limit. And for the love of God, NEVER work there

Is English your second language or are you having a stroke?
One more time: How is anything you're trying to say here contradicting the fact most of their locations are in the Midwest?

No the place doesn't shake, it gives you seizures

I went to one and they can’t figure out if they are fast food or a sit down place. It was poorly ran.

Red Robin is pretty much trash that you would have to be nearly incapacitated drunk to enjoy, sorry to say.

I used to work in one and they were ok. No horror stories or anything, but it wasn't an outstanding burger either. Everything was what you paid for to the last cent.

[Anonymous No.11865139]

Just ate their. New Frisco sauce is good.
Bad fries get onion rings.

WHY DOESN'T CANADA HAVE GOOD BURGER JOINTS

[Anonymous No.11865164]

My favorite place for a burger outside of my own kitchen. Though its probably more for sentimental reasons than any objective taste

It's ok. I mostly go there because they don't think too much of themselves and try to charge 3x more for the same food like Culvers.
Just a basic burger joint with decent food and no ego.

Red Robin burgers are good. I know there are people who will say "Umm, not as good as Whataburger/In-n-Out/White Castle/McDonald's" but most of them are fast food shills who would eat out of a trash can if it meant they didn't have to pay more than $5 for a days worth of food

This. I tried it once and walked out after 30 minutes. Unfortunately we were driving through rural Kentucky, it happened to be a Friday night. The entire local high school football team was there. They had one chance, but never again. I'm pretty sure we were supposed to get table service, but it didn't happen, we got back on the road and got the fuck out of there. Once we arrived in a much larger town there were better choices, or at least... choices. Fuck, I hate Kentucky so much. I wish I could fly over it, but I find myself driving through it a lot.

Ah those yellow wire protectors/visibility sheaths for when there’s snow, plows or other low viz weather. I felt a little gay saying “sheath” tho
