What's with the bad reviews? You're literally going to one of the cheapest places in the city! I got a win. Another fantastic ice cream shake, mint Oreo is so good! These guys have really rocked the socks off into the list of just a few chains I'll go for. The app is super easy to use, some serious health, dairy free options, please bring that around soon since Panera Bread is dead. This is a great location, friendly staff, clean, got my to go going quick. read more

What can I say about this place? Absolutely nothing positive! 1. I waited in line 20 minutes, only 3 cars ahead of me 2. When I got to the window the young lady was so rude, no eye contact, no greeting, no thank you, no " one moment please" NOTHING 3. The take-out window was filthy. I can only imagine what the inside looked like 4. When I got home, the order was wrong.... I ordered a mushroom burger, they put bacon on it. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, they gave me a single with no cheese or bacon read more

A great place for a late night meal or snack. We had excellent service for a group of 8. Drinks and food all came out very quickly. Thanks for providing a quick meal at a price that didn't break my wallet! I really enjoyed my Prince Royal Burger and am happy to say I have finally had my first 3 Way! Lol The shakes were delicious and very filling. Can't wait to get ball when I'm back in town. read more

Literally watched a worker get a whole attitude with a lady that wanted napkins for her drink. Her shake did not have a lid and practically exploded all over her car, and the worker threatened to hop over the counter at her. If the employees are threatening to fight people over someone asking for a couple napkins or a refund, maybe the employees shouldn't work there at all. Grow up and do better read more

Declining location. This has been our family's favorite local steak and shake location in Fort Wayne. Over the past couple of years the service, cleanliness, and the food has gotten to the point where we will not be returning. On this particular visit, we waited for over 30 minutes for our lukewarm food and fries with burnt specs of some in which I hope is fry pieces. We also made the mistake of looking under the table across from us it's obvious it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Oh and we had to ask 3 times for honey mustard and cheese sauce. We're done here. read more

Another classic American burger joint that I like. Today, I decided to dine in (rather than drive through) and try something other than the classic burger --the taco salad: beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, ranch dressing and tortilla strips with a side of jalapenos. My sister had the same minus the jalapenos. We had to request more beef due to the small (pre-measured) portion served on the salad otherwise it was all right. My friend tried the turkey club with cole slaw --they said it was ok but the cookie dough shake was worth it. Our waitress was very nice and prompt with our orders. She also returned several times to check on our table. I didn't realize how extensive the list was for $4 meals, but it definitely seems like a good deal. read more

This place had the WORST customer service I've EVER seen in my life!!! My son and I came in and had to be handed a menu by another patron who was there that was friends with the staff I'm assuming. Then the waitress didn't even come for another 10 minutes to take our order. We ordered 2 shakes and 2 burger meals. 15 minutes later she brought our burgers and NO SHAKES!!! I had to flag down another waitress to ask about our shakes and told her it's been 25 minutes since we ordered em. She tells me they have to make em themselves. Ok but why should I have to wait that long?!?! Then finally our waitress brought em. Then I had to ask for our fries cuz she didn't even bring em with the burgers smh The worst part was, they weren't even busy!!! Smdh read more

Extremely poor service. Would not recommend. Crazy long wait for our order for 2 to be completely incorrect.

This was hands down the WORST experience at a Steak & Shake anyones ever had. The server greeted us by yelling "There are no clean tables!" He then walked us to a table, cleared the dishes, and wiped the crumbs and milkshake residue off the table with his arm. 10 minutes after being sat at the filthy table he asked us for our order before providing menus. He grabbed menus and 5 minutes later yelled from behind the server station that food would take 30 minutes (it took 5, thanks kitchen) When the food arrived I asked for a fork for my chili spaghetti and he rolled his eyes and walked away. Staff was picking fights with tables and each other. The manager had a hole in his shoe and yet it was the server that slipped and fell. It got so chaotic for a minute that tables were making eye contact and sticking their head in their plates to avoid being problematic. So. Much. Yelling. In no universe was I ever getting my milkshake. The cook dropped his spatula and picked it right back up and went to town I feel like I generously overtipped, but I threw cash on the table and ran. Thank God, because the cash out line was basically out the door. Yet somehow they seemed to be less than half full... I would like to forget this happened... I hope I don't get food poisoning. Pray for me. read more

Love the taste of their burgers and especially love their prices, but this restaurant was a total disaster when my family and I visited yesterday. It was literally filthy and we were there about 11:30 a.m. The waitress was uninterested in us and particularly in our order. She brought the wrong sides and didn't come back with the correct sides until we were nearly ready to leave. No one was offered a drink refill and they weren't that busy. We won't be visiting this locale again. Beware! read more

The pancakes here are divine. They are fluffy, tasty, and just the right size. My mother told me that long ago they were by far the best. She was clearly on point with her assessment. I'm almost of a mind to say they are at par or better than some of the restaurants that serve pancakes as a staple menu item. I highly recommend them. Give them a try, if they're not right, blame the cook. HA! read more

Well if you are on your lunch hour plan on spending it in the drive thru line. Seriously, over 30 minutes to get burgers? Like always you are sort of stuck once in line and you make that commitment. My bad,as we started to move I was so excited I stayed in line. Mistake, big mistake. The French fries we hot and great but the burger was just warm and a bit soggy. Worth the wait? Not even. You could have ordered a steak dinner in that time. Management would be wise to review these concerns and address them. read more

Excellent value for your dollar. Best hot chocolate ever. Restroom needed a good cleaning; it had a strong urine smell. Make sure you don't get seated under the air intake. The dirt is about ready to fall off in clods. read more

I was staying at a hotel nearby and placed an online order, only to find the dining room closed when I walked over (30 mins before close). Not only did they still make me a delicious burger and fries and gladly brought it out to me, dude also offered me a free shake for having to wait a little bit! read more

Great food and great service best part we were the only people there for most of our time there so it was nice and quiet. The food all came out in a timely manor and was neatly plated. I actually felt like I was getting what was pictured. I love getting the shakes too. Just a great oversll visit to finish my day right. read more

I haven't been to this steak and shake in 8 years. When we did go, my daughter had a burger and I had a salad...we both got sick. I'm only posting because someone asked me about this restaurant since there haven't been any cars in the parking lot. It is temporarily closed. I posted a pic of the notice on the front doors. read more

The service gets worse every single time I go here. I'm currently trying to stomach this watery melted chocolate and banana milkshake I stared longly at through the drive through window. Watching as people passed as my milkshake continued to melt more and more. read more

Sadly I used to frequent this location but I will no longer visit this location. The last 3 times I have been in the service was horrible! The staff is unattentive and does the very minimum. You get seated, they take your order bring your food and drop off your bill with your food, then you never see them again. Refill on that drink? FORGET IT!!! And do not look behind the counter where they are cooking the food. It would seem as though the managers have magical hair that never falls out in your food while they are cooking. That has to be the reason they do not have to wear a hair restraint like everyone else. Bottom line: Unprofessional, rude, and not worth my hard earned money no matter how enexpensive it may be. read more

I died waiting for the food. Got ebola from the sanitation. Too many calories in the milkshakes im trying to cut. Edit: no waiter or waitress has looked in my direction, im not that ugly of a guy. People who came in after us have been served. We have been sitting here for 30 minutes. Slower than dial up. read more

Holy moly! We have waited for 30+ minutes and still haven't even got asked for anything to drink. Having worked in the food business, this is unacceptable! I'd almost start serving people myself it's that bad. Will not return. Been putting up with this location for a while but this is the last straw, management is always awful/ non existent. read more

This place has the best burgers. You have to visit. The shakes aren't all that but the burgers are killer. Much much better that In and Out burgers read more

Slow service and bad food as always. I only come here when it's really late and the only thing open. As per the usual it took 20 minutes just to get my drink. This place has no service and never has. Never come here. read more

I'd give it a 0 if I could. Waited 15 minutes and never saw a waitress. Table next to us got up left and we did too. Very poorly run place.

I work at a restaurant, so I am trying to be as considerate and understanding as possible, but I do believe the service here needs work, especially the drive thru. Hit or miss. I prefer dining in than their drive thrus, even though both take a long time. The drive thru takes I would say at least 20 min, even when there isn't many people dining in or at the drive thru, so don't expect to get the food fast. There have been multiple times in the drive thru where I simply ordered a burger with no onions, and they repeat the order perfectly fine and we would both agree I want everything else on it but no onions, but then I receive literally a bun and patty, nothing else on it. No lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, sauce, etc. Even the receipt was correct, but order wasn't. Multiple times this has happened and it's always the same thing: just bread and patty. I did go back once inside to exchange it and they were nice about it and brought me out a new one still ignoring the no onion part and gave me fries as well, but honestly the fries were cold, flimsy, and flavorless... I do appreciate the effort. I know it sounds silly to continue to ask for no onions, but I feel if they can't provide correct service for something as simple as this, what else could they mess up on... I highly recommend just checking your burger and all of that before going all the way back home and being disappointed. I do understand it can be busy there so I try to be patient with them, but sometimes it's not even busy... I do hope they work on their drive thru service. They're not mean, but they just get my order wrong. It's not only in Fort Wayne, I tried in Muncie as well and the exact thing happened. It keeps disappointing me how the service is like this here and there. It gives a bad reputation for this restaurant that has potential. I don't really have much expectations for this restaurant anymore. Sometimes inside, I just feel like hygiene isn't good either. I think it's a convenient cheap place to eat, but I paid $6 today for old fries with the cajun seasoning, and a burger with just the bun and patty again at the drive thru. The fact that the service repeats my order and confirms it correctly but keeps giving me this is annoying now. The food can be decent, and I've also received friendly waitresses in the past. But that's sometimes too, so sometimes my experience is good and other times it's just bad. I do hope they are more serious on accurate service. read more

Absolutely terrible all around from the gaff to the wait time in a dead place..... our server would just appear out of no where and just yell at us if we were ready to order, food wasn't bad, but the 30 minute wait for a milkshake that was literally covered In grease, no Apology for the extremely long or grease covered cups read more

Horrible service! When we arrived, we counted at least five empty tables with dirty dishes on them. Although first in line for a table, it took them five minutes to seat us. We waited 10 minutes for a chance to order, gave up and left. read more

Sorry to say, quite a disappointment once again. The food and service is going down hill. 1 out of 5 Visits were good within the last 2 months. That's why 1 star. I was there with 3 others. Our burgers were over cooked. I joked that it was beef Jerky.. it was chewy and dry. None of the staff smiled. It was slow to get seated and waited on. There was a conflict with a server taking another's table in the dining room. I feel like there might have been a more professional place to address that. They seemed properly staffed for the amount of volume (about 8pm) so lack of hospitality and quality food was clearly unacceptable. Keep those standards high! Congratulations you've become worse than McDonald's! read more

Oh S-N-S how do I not like you. Let me count the ways: Could it be the Ham Benedict III? With an English muffin topped with ham, perfectly poached eggs and smoked cheddar hollandaise? No. Or maybe the Sweet Potato Pancakes? Topped with homemade caramel, pecans and ginger butter? No. Possibly it's for the possibilities you have, including Breakfast Pot Pies, and all kinds of other Benedicts I have had yet to try. No. It's definitely because of the Mimosas with Odwalla and topped with some nice fruit liquor. Defiantly not: It's true, I am a breakfast lover anyway, but I think you make it like back in the 1950's. Deep fried, greasy everything. That used to be considered healthy back then. Now days when something sits inside your stomach, like a ball for eight hours? People realize that it is not that good for you. Might as well eat a bag of potato chips for about the same nutritional value No, No, and No. Defiantly it's the ARMY style cooking. Blandly made(so anyone can eat it), In a central location. Then shipped out to it's customers, so they can use a lot of condiments, to give it some taste. read more

This is the worst Steak &Shake you will ever see. The wait staff is lazy, the managers show zero sense of urgency to resolve issues when the patrons have finally been fed up with horrible service, and the place just generally operates under a weekly change of managers who eventually give up and move on! Do yourself a favor and avoid this joke of a restaurant read more

Banana shake!!!!! best shake I've ever had!!!! Great place

My husband and I enjoy going to Steak and Shake for burgers and milkshakes. However, this experience wasn't the greatest. My husband ordered a burger with fries and a side of chili. His chili was forgotten about until he asked for it again. Our milkshakes came out fairly melted. Our fries were limp and almost had the appearance of being wet. Now I was highly disappointed in the fries. I usually thoroughly enjoy Steak and Shake crispy fries. Today they weren't crispy at all! I'm not sure if they were just trying to get them out quick but I sure hope the next time we visit they are back to their usual crisp fries and thick milkshakes. read more

This restaurant is poorly staffed and poorly managed! The wait for the food was ridiculous! My grill cheese was room temperature by the time it was brought to the table and my table mates had little black things swimming in the water. When the manager was informed about the service, he seemed pretty unbothered. This is probably not the place to dine if you are in a rush or want hot food. read more

Always extremely dirty, floors never mopped and piles of trash all over the floor because they are too lazy to pick it up. Wait staff is slow and very unenthusiastic would be a great way to put it. Last time I went was 10/22/17 at about midnight, and they basically refused to serve us. We and another group were told we could be seated but if we wanted actual service we would have to wait a long time because this particular waitress refused to fill in. We left and went to Ihop on Lima, which btw is immaculate inside and the service is top notch. Steak and shake get your stuff together. read more

Don't waste your time. We tried to have our dinner at the Coldwater rd, Ft Wayne IN. location. NO SERVICE! The staff was wasting their time in the kitchen. One employee was leaning on the counter talking to her friends instead of waiting on customers. We got up and left and went to the Steak & Shake on Stellhorn rd, Ft Wayne, IN. It was like the people at Coldwater rd location trained the employees at this location. We left there and went to Applebee's next door. This has been like this for some time. Maybe you should close up the restaurants and start over. Hire people that want to work and your customers may come back. We are done! read more

Sitting in: The floors are so sticky and thr tables don't feel like they have been cleaned. The one time I picked up the salt shaker and my fingers felt something wet and gross, looked at my hand it was ketchup. Chicken strips and burgers are good. Fries are always gross. Ialways feel dirty when I leave. Drive Thru: I was the only in line and I waited 20 minutes for my milkshake. The lady opened the window and asked in a rude attitude why I hadn't left yet and I told her I was still waiting on the shake. She slams the window shut then comes back five minutes later with it and basically tossed it at me. read more

I rather like this Steak 'n Shake location. Over the years I've become something of a Steak 'n Shake connoisseur, and usually take something of a critical eye whenever I visit a new location on my travels. There's just something about greasy 50's era food that I really like. Nostalgia for a time gone by that I've never actually been alive to see? Perhaps. But this location really is just average in all regards. Service was decent, our waitress was nice, the food got to us quickly, the milkshake was nice and thick, and the food itself was a little greasy, but delicious and filling. If you want a quick place to grab some good cheap food while out with some friends or family, stop on by this location. If you're wanting an experience, and want food that you'll be pining for for weeks and whittling away at leftovers, you're better off going somewhere else. read more

For a 24 hour restaurant they must be too busy to clean. Not only were the floors dirty but I could see into the kitchen and underneath the fryers there were leftover fries and napkins. The floors had sauces, wrappers, and grime on them. The ketchup bottle had grimy dust all over it and there were fingerprints all over tables and booths. I was too scared to check the bathroom. read more

This place is a disaster. There weren't even that many diners and we still waited an extremely long time for our meal. Our shakes didn't make it out to the table until halfway through the meal. They were also out of spoons for the shakes. Seriously? Sauce from my husband's meal ended up on my plate. My husband received the wrong flavor of shake. Had to wait at the register to pay for several minutes and the guy who took our payment (I believe he was the manager) acted like he would rather be anywhere but there. I've been to bad Steak & Shake locations before, but this is by far the worst. read more
