Great burger not dried out, but cooked throughout. Quick service from ordering at self service kiosk, picking up food at counter, to busing our table. Nice quiet Route 66 Mel's style.

I can't even tried one of those steak burgers and it was better than I expected not something to go crazy about, but not bad at all it was a good size burger nicely made by the cooks inside and the lady at the drive-through was actually nice. I didn't have to wait long or nothing. I wanted to go inside and eat, especially after getting a glimpse of the scenery and the dining area.

Me enjoying my food

Love this place! I got a peanut butter shake it was perfect! Hector was a very good person in the drive through. I also love the boy at the counter Andy. The old diner vibe was awesome gave me flashbacks to my childhood. Butter burger was perfect!

Garlic double burger with fries
Trixie T.

Just keep my food you left in the window. No service. My food wasn't even put where the pick up mobile orders are supposed to go. I stood there for 6 minutes before seeing my food in a bag, opposite window. Just getting cold. Clean restroom. Crap service today. I will try again in 2 weeks.

Awesome chocolate shake!
Mary P.

Great burgers & yummy crispy fries! Great prices, too! The meal deal is such a bargain. And during the week, an afternoon happy hour gives you 1/2 shakes or sodas. Let me tell you about those delicious shakes: wonderful! I especially like the Oreo one but hubby likes chocolate! Brain freeze!! Burgers: individualize with condiments--we like extra onions! Crispy edges & meaty for a fast food place. Fries: can't beat them!! Hot, fresh, tasty!! The workers are pleasant & helpful. The restaurant is clean & cheery. The rewards app is easy to use.

Double steak burger with lettuce
Jenny K.

Friendly staff. Amazing food. Restaurant is extremely clean. The restroom is clean and spacious.

I'm sure if someone there compares the total to the order my entitled white butt supposedly stole, it will match to the penny.

Our family went to Stake n Shake in Coralville Iowa today at almost 3 pm. We ordered at the Kiosk, the only option available. The kiosk had options to log in using phone number, email, or as guest. We live almost 2 hours away from the nearest Stake n Shake, so we ordered after selecting the continue as guest rather than waste time creating an account. it then asked for a name for the order and said that name will be called. I typed in my name, paid, and sat down to wait for our food. When the food was done the sever called out order 112. my husband and I looked at each other because it wasn't my name that was called and we were never issued a number, but we were the only ones there except for a couple that hadn't finished ordering yet. The server very rudley yelled "is that you or not". my husband went up to collect the food and she refused to hand it over without checking the order number on the receipt. We never got a reciept with a number from the kiosk. The server refused to give us our food. My husband explained that we didn't get a receipt or a number, the kiosk said my name would be called. He also confirmed what we ordered.. she said without the receipt she can't give us the food because we can't prove its ours and not grabbing our receipt was irresponsibleand not her problem. Companie policy says she needs to check our receipt first before she can serve the food.. keep in mind we were the only ones there that had already ordered, the other people were still in the process of ordering. My husband had to forcefully take the tray of food we ordered from her hands while saying we paid $42 for it and we are going to eat it while she yelled that we can't have that. At this point I walked up to the kiosk and took a picture of the screen saying it will be done by name, not number and that I would be notifying corporate at this point. She completley lost her shit. While we were eating she was walking around the restaurant yelling about how rude I am, how we could be stealing right now, how we ordered too much food anyway, and made remarks about the blonde haired children sitting over there (African American server) (mine were the only children there), before quitting on the spot and walking out because of whites like us. The manager came out, but never acknowledged or approached us and avoided the side of the store we were eating at. So my husband got up and approached her. The manager half ass apologized by saying they got a new system and their orders are supposed to show the name on their side, but are still showing up as numbers. she also said that the sever shouldn't have done that since the kiosk does not print receipts anymore, it emails them, and she should have instructed us to check our email. That was it. 1. When you order as "guest" it does not ask for email, so even then we still would have been denied our food because there is no printed number, nor number shown on screen, and email receipt is only for those with an account. it only asks for name and says that name will be called if ordering as guest without account. 2. We could confirm what the order was, and were the only possible people it could be for being the only ones there that had completed ordering. 3. the reason I ordered "too much food", not that it's any of her or your companies business, but since it was yelled about and I was shamed over... I had just gotten out of a medical procedure and hadn't had anything but water for over 24 hours. So sorry for being a really hungry cow and chosing you you I guess. But I promise we won't make that mistake again. 4. It wasn't so much food that it should have been too much work and entitled. my order was... two grilled cheese kids meals (one with apple sause cup; one with fries) and to kids shakes. 1 triple steak burger with large fry and shake. 1 BBQ burger with large cheese fry and shake, plus a cup of Chilli. if your restaurant can't handle a 4 person table ordering 1 sandwich and fry per person plus drink and a single scoop chili for one person, you shouldn't be in business. And finally...the race of my small children is none of your God damned concern and should never be brought up in a hissy fit over us still expecting our paid for food despite not having- as what turns out non existent to begin with- receipt. We were hoping to stay in town and do some shopping afterwards and enjoy the day off since we hardly ever make it out that way, but we were so shaken up by the experience that we ended the day early and drove home while I cried the whole way.

grilled cheese sandwich w/ moldy bread
Callie B.

I used to love steak n' shake -- but the last few months... they've left a bad taste in my mouth. On June 27th, I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich through the drive thru on my lunch/dinner break at work. I bit into my sandwich once I was parked back at work and noticed a weird taste. I spit it out, turned on the over head light in my car and inspected the sandwich. There were MOLD SPOTS on the bread. I tried to call the restaurant, but apparently they close at midnight -- and nobody answered the phone. I've reached to the company on multiple levels and have gotten zero response. If you do take the chance on ordering from this particular store -- inspect your sandwiches for mold spots, because apparently the employees don't.

Was a great deal for fast high quantity food. Today's visit went about as well as we could've hoped. We got to try all our old usuals and they were just as good as we remembered! The only real down side was the "shrink flation" of portions, but I'm not surprised given the all the changes that happened over the last 6 years. Oh yeah and one pandemic. Core memory... We got a lot of food to try and sample as much as we could (we usually do on a first visit to a place to see what we like and have more reasons to come back). The churro could've been warmer, but it was a good combination of crunchy and sweet which I was okay with. The burrito taco combo was great, though the spicy green sauce is what sealed the deal for me on it. Fries were 99 cents as a side, couldn't say no! Nice and hot when we got them! Yummy! Chips and queso was also good. Cheese was steaming hot! Quesadilla was massive! We added Pico but think we will ask for it on the side in the future. Breakfast burrito with bacon was as good as we remembered, but like mentioned before not as big. The Pina drink was pleasant. We will likely get it again. Tastes like pineapple! The automated ordering machine was nice in our case since we could look closely at all the options and take our time, but in the future I think I'll stick with talking to a person (which I think is an option for ordering? There is a drive through so for sure there is a way). Food came out promptly with minimal staggering. Our server was pleasant which is a plus these days. It was kinda empty and quiet inside which we don't mind, but if that kind of atmosphere is off putting to you, you have been warned. Though a train going by occasionally does break the silence quite dramatically. Also, the train. Don't forget about it if you are trying to grab a quick bite for lunch! We certainly will come back again for some comfort food and reminder of "good-O'l times"

This Coralville outpost is inside Coral Ridge Mall, right by Target and the carousel, making it an easy stop during a shopping run or post-movie snack craving. Service is typically fast and friendly, true to the brand's reputation. The team runs a tight ship, even during busy lunch rushes. The vibe is casual and family-friendly, with a steady stream of hungry shoppers, toddlers in tow, and teens grabbing nuggets between stores. The only real con? It's mall-only. No drive-thru, no standalone--so if you're hoping to swing by on your way home, you'll have to brave the mall crowd. Also, full transparency: one time, my friends and I did end up with some post-meal stomach drama, but that was once out of many visits--so it may have just been a one-off. Pro tip: mobile order ahead if you're in a rush--it saves time and helps you avoid the lunch hour line that can build fast. Can also order on DoorDash or ubereats as well. Closed on Sundays of course like all Chick Fil As. Great spot for a reliable bite while out and about! Maybe even go to the ice skating rink- probably before would be better on the stomach unless you find some time to rest :)

The ambiance was very nice with a large fish tank and cozy booth seating. Service was excellent--both the host and our waitress were very attentive and welcoming. The food, however, was where things fell short. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken with broccoli casserole and mashed potatoes. My father had chicken tenders, shrimp, and a loaded baked potato. He really enjoyed the potato and tenders, but said the shrimp was a definite skip. My broccoli casserole was extremely bland, the rice bed had uncooked crunchy pieces, and the mashed potatoes were just okay. The chicken itself was decent in flavor but unfortunately undercooked--still pink in the center. I didn't send it back but definitely should have. Overall, the service and atmosphere were great, but the food quality just wasn't there. I'll be skipping Cheddar's in the future.

While the people who work there are usually friendly once I actually can get one to talk to me, it always seems that, regardless of whether I go inside or through the drive-up, NO ONE IS THERE.

Someone took my order over the intercom; when I left fifteen minutes later, the car in front of me was still waiting to pay for their food. I know there are at least two people working, because one guy was out back. I took it as a sign that I didn't need Popeye's today, and went to Wing Stop down the street. This feels like a failure of management; the people working are clearly doing their best, but they just don't have enough staff.
