I had very low expectations as every Steak 'n Shake in my home state closed years ago and the reviews here certainly aren't the most positive. However, it was clean and the food was surprisingly quite good for fast food. Service was quick, no complaints! read more

Horrible service! I ordered a milkshake at the drive through and said no whip cream or cherry, when the man handed it to me it had whip cream and a cherry on it! I nicely mentioned I asked for no whip cream or cherry( as I'm allergic to the dyes used in maraschino cherries) and the man said I did not say that and slammed the window shut on me. Then I went inside and he continued to be rude and would not remake the milkshake. Horrible experience!! read more

Food is usually phenomenal, I always get the garlic steak cheeseburger. Occasionally fries will be very salty, but otherwise milkshakes and burgers are always great. read more

Typical fast food option. This place was decent for late night. Liked that the ordering was via a kiosk or app. Got a cheeseburger which was made to order nice and fresh. It was good but what you'd expect from a chain. The location was clean with plenty of parking and the staff were at least fast with my order. Chill vibes overall. Not going out of my way to come here but it was decent. read more

Right off 71 clean & efficient. Love the beef fat French fries. This is the first clean one I have seen in years. Great value for a quick meal. read more

Steak ’n Shake - What a hamburger & fries should look like Clean place & you order a screen. $10.00 with a coke. - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Always love some steak and shake! Nice and greasy burgers, chili is awesome, shakes are solid, and coke is very fizzy! Staff is super kind but now you engage with a kiosk when you walk in and not a person which is different. Dropping a star because the bathroom was pretty gross...toilet was broken, and they were out of soap. Will still be back but maybe hit a different bathroom next time. read more

A victim of covid and people not wanting to work. Use to love this place for a fun sit down dinner with the grandkids, one of their favorite places. Now its just another fast food joint. Kiosks to order from, no help with that as nobody working in there has English as a first language. You order your own food, seat yourself, get your own drinks and condiments and they want a 20% tip? read more

It used to be a place that had so many options for different diets. Now, the food is even worse than typical drive through. It's bad quality, greasy, no veggie options, and just overall disappointing. I miss the days of a diner-like feel. You have to use kiosks to order your food, which just feels impersonal. I miss the way this place used to be. read more

Hope the food tastes A LOT BETTER than their personalities. I regret giving them a tip. Got it "To Go" and no wonder it's not busy at peak lunchtime. Btw the parking lots in Kiev look better than this parking lot. Heaven help you if you ask if there's any onions in the sauce. I'm guessing this place will be closed in 2-3 months. read more

My Bride and I went to the Polaris Location on Polaris Parkway today May 22/2024. First, they use Kiosks and have no waiters/waitresses. The Kiosk we used, #1, was not working as it should and was very difficult to use. We tried to get help, but every person who worked there needed to speak English. I ordered a single as did my wife. We got the double. I ordered an Onion pickle, lettuce, and tomato and got a pickle and one piece of onion and cheese. I ordered a chocolate shake and got strawberry. The fries were not hot. This place is a sham of the original Shake N Steak. Time to close it up and sell the franchise and open up a good joint, this one is horrendous. Never to return. read more

I know people don't like kiosks, and usually I don't either, but if that what it takes to keep S&S running, I approve. The menu is a bit shorter now, but similar to In-and-Out, keep it simple and good and you'll go far. I thought the quality was the best in a long time, very very good burger and fries. It took some time to figure out the new scanning of receipt to get a fountain drink, but it works. Overall, very clean, although we were definitely off-peak hours. I really want S&S to survive, so please give it a try. read more

No soft drink refills for dine-in guests. I won't be coming back. Just charge me the extra $0.50 at the beginning and don't tell me!

The location always has their milkshake machine working instead of their competitor across the street. The chocolate shake with the wide straw is perfect! The frisco melt hasn't changed in twenty years. It is juicy and full of flavor. The staff was kind and the service was fast. read more

Only ordered a bowl of chili and a pack of crackers, but the man was rude and handed me the bag without saying a word and closed the window. He put no crackers and instead of a plastic spoon he put a big fat straw I guess he thought I should drink the chili that way. read more

What a let down. I've been coming here for over 20 years. The past 15 or so I've lived out of state and the service has remained at least decent. This last visit made it where I will not likely come back. Typical post covid, no employees. Dining room was DISGUSTING. Every single table was dirty, we had to bus our own table. The cheese fries did not hit like they should have, I guess that happens when you are looking at stacked dirty plates all around you. read more

This is a nice Steak and Shake. The food taste fresh. The staff is very nice. The restrooms are a little dirty, but the dining room is clean. They have new self-check-out ordering machines. That make ordering your food super easy. read more

Steak ’n Shake - the interior of a restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Im very!!! displeased with there service and food quality provided here at this establishment. The fries were cold and soggy, my husband's burger was under cooked, they gave us no condiments ( like we requested), straws or utensils. I called to speak to the manager and he blamed everything on door dash. No accountability was taking for the meal and I'm very dissatisfied and will not be back. read more

I think the food and milkshakes are pretty good. But i definitely prefer their milkshakes over their food. Their service is average. I have had good service and ok service before. I do really like their fries though. Overall this restaurant is pretty good, especially if you want a good milkshake. read more

I had a double cheeseburger. Great value. Came out quickly. Fresh ingredients. Inside was clean. Good vibe. I later got another burger and a chili bowl. The chili hit the spot. read more

This is a very good restaurant. The food is fresh, delicious, and looks like the advertisements. The location is clean, fast service, and the condiments/stocked. The burgers, fries and shakes are great. We like the kiosks and that fact there are no waiters/waitresses/servers. It works well. I have no connection to this restaurant but please support them as they do a great job. Many locations are franchised owned. * note; their $4.44 deal for a double burger and fries is a great value, especially in these days of inflation. read more

This is hands down the best Steak 'n Shake I've ever had! The cooks know what they're doing! Our double steak burgers came out hot and delicious, cheese melted and the fries made to perfection! The milkshakes were a great treat as well! We're heading back this evening as I type this. Well done Polaris Steak 'n Shake team!!! :-) read more

Steak and Shake have the best milkshakes around! They have a wonderful variety seasonal, regular and just extraordinary! I have to say I do like their fries and burgers as well. Their prices are just right for our family. The happy hour is the best perfect after school snack for the kids! read more

We went to the location on Polaris Avenue. We actually had a great meal and outstanding service! Our server was attentive and the food very tasty! I had the taco salad, it was huge and only cost $3.99! I felt like I was eating healthy since it didn't had the huge taco bowl like many restaurants do. It had shredded corn tacos on top and that seemed to work. My husband tried the new prime burger and he gave it two thumbs up! The French fried were thin and tasty. We were impressed how the servers were quick in busing tables. This says a lot for any restaurant! read more

Stopped in whole driving from Pa to Texas. Was a little concerned based on past reviews, but found the food to be very good. I would give it 5 starts for a fast food joint, but don't care for the self serve kiosks. The chocolate peanut butter shake, almost earned it's own 5 stars. We did eat inside the dining room, so can't speak to the drive thru. read more

Had food poisoning here years back and never been back. Juging by the other reviews, I'm not the only one with a bad experience here.

this steak n shake makes my food so good every time. Ive been having a problem eating meat lately but I still craved this place and it's been getting me back into eating. only downside is it closes at midnight and not the posted hours but still love this place and location read more

I went through the drive thru around 3pm on Tuesday May 19, 2020. The worker took my special order with ease. I like how they are wearing masks and gloves. I have been to Steak and Shakes many times before. Sometimes they take a little longer than other fast restaurants, but the burgers and milkshakes are FRESH. In general it seems that restaurants are short staffed. I read some negative reviews about wait times at this locations. When I came between lunch and dinner the service was fast and FOOD TASTED GREAT. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Milkshake to go - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I've always liked Steak 'n Shake's food, but since my family is now on a keto diet, I appreciate them in a different way. While we cannot have their delicious shakes or tasty sides, like fries or baked beans, we can still have their burgers (no bun, of course). It's pretty simple to order, just ask for no bun and they put it in a bowl for you. I did learn "the hard way" that you have to specify no fries if you don't want them. It was indeed a sad experience to have to throw them away that first time. :( Overall, I would say it's pretty easy to get a tasty, low-carb meal here if you are ok with just a bunless sandwich, so this has become one of our go-to chains when we are on the road. I did deduct two stars because, although they do have a nutrition menu online, it only lists each whole item (e.g., an entire sandwich), so there is no simple way to figure out how much each item is or what the ingredients are. In other words, I have to guess or estimate how much I need to deduct when I get a burger without a bun. Deducting stars for this may seem a little harsh, but there are so many people who are on special eating plans, it's time for restaurants to step up their game a bit where their nutrition information is concerned. We all know we have been living in the "information age." Well, I'm saying it's time for us to enter the "nutrition information age." :D read more

Their new fill line for a "bowl" of chili is RIDICULOUS!!! It was barely half full!! What a waste of money. read more

Steak ’n Shake - New fill line for a "bowl" of a chili - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

First review I've ever written but this Is hands down the worst Steak 'n Shake on the planet. Constantly takes 15-20 mins in the drive thru, regardless of time of day. When you finally do get to opportunity to place your order they're rude and not at all welcoming. We've recently started going to the other side of town whenever we want Steak 'n Shake. Sad bc all it'd take is a few more competent people. In addition they were not wearing masks. read more

Literally the most disgusting restaurant. I am currently pregnant and I always go to their restaurant to get milkshakes and now I decided to get some Hot Dogs...to find MOLD on my bread WAS THE MOST disgusting thing ever and so against all the health department safety rules. Why would you even serve this to your customer? now I am wondering what else they have served me that's been like this. I will be calling the health department on them because now you didn't only put me in danger by giving me this food but also my unborn child. Thank god I check my food before eating it. CLEAN your damn restaurant, get BETTER and HIRE LESS GHETTO PEOPLE because they got the nastiest attitude ever read more

Steak ’n Shake - a hot dog on a bun - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Ordered Uber eats. It has been "preparing my order" for well over an hour. Called this place repeatedly, not a damn soul answered. You cannot tell me it's so busy that someone can not answer a phone. Called 16 times...16. Get off your ass, answer the phone, or cancel the order. $40 for two orders of chicken fingers, 2 milkshakes and an order of fries. No wonder they are closing up shop all over. Your staff is absolutely abhorrent. Garbage. read more

Went here last night for a couple of large fries. They were friendly asking us if we needed anything else. Upon opening the bag we noticed the fry boxes were only half-full. Not nice. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Fast Food Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I'm a sucker for this type of food. Especially when it's combined with a myriad of deliciously unhealthy shakes to choose from. The Garlic double burger is fantastic and I've never had any issues with the service or quality of my meal at this location. read more

So, it's hot outside, right? And there's my team, sitting just a scant quarter mile away, when Tiff says "you know what sounds good? Milkshakes." Well, duh. We ordered (and managed to remember) nine shakes. Well, technically eight, but we accidentally ordered a double (whatevs, it was "happy hour" pricing, and for nine small shakes it was less than $13). The staff had them setup perfectly to pass to us in the drive thru, which made me holding on to them while Tiff drove easy as pie. read more

I work for a corporate restaurants industry for almost 18 as a Bartender and manager and I beber experience what happened to me ate this restaurant today. It takes me a lot to make a bad review specially for a restaurant because I understand what they go through. I was with my two little kids waiting to be serve for very long time while the people that set after us got service and they never came to us. I've tried to talk to the manager for two times and he's completely ignored me. I completely understand that they were busy but the fact that they completely ignore me! After a while I just got up and left, My daughter was very upset because steak and shake it's one of her favorite restaurant and I promise her a week before that I was going to take her there. Please, somebody need to do something aborted. read more

worst place around Polaris and Westerville the guy at drive thru window has bad attitude

I would give this place zero stars if I could! DO NOT EAT HERE! First, we waited at the door to be seated for about 10 minutes with no one acknowledging we were there. While we were standing there, I watched the cook touch RAW MEAT with his BARE HANDS, no gloves, and continue to cook touching all the utensils. He then made a sandwich without even washing his hands! After her touched all the raw meat and everything else!! So gross. Then when we were finally seated we sat there again for 15+ minutes without ANYONE coming to our table. We left and grabbed dinner elsewhere. If you want to eat without getting ecoli or having to wait 45 minutes before someone acknowledged you, then I'd go somewhere else. Plenty of other places at Polaris. I repeat, DO NOT EAT HERE. read more

The S&S at 1880 Polaris Pkwy is the worse drive through in history. Over half the times they get the order screwed up. Today I went through and ordered two cheeseburgers, one was garlic and I asked for the garlic sauce on the side. They gave me the bag. No garlic sauce. They took it back, which is against the law, and gave me another one. No garlic sauce. I said "there is no garlic sauce. They gave me a cup. when my Grandson opened the burger, it was smashed thinner than a pancake. Obviously on purpose. If a business employees' people that can't follow a simple request, and then are so immature they retaliate against the customer, they will never succeed long term. And I can't wait to see it. read more

Agh. Sitting here for ever. One guy walking around doing I don't know what while several tables need busing. One guy is moping a tiny section of floor. This place is a disaster. Seems dirty, and the server is sooooo nice but clueless. GET IT TOGETHER. read more
