Steak ’n Shake - The drive thru - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

If you like a place that you can expect to sit in a blocked-in drive-thru for over 30 minutes, this place is for you. I literally only go here if I want my kids to be in the car for an hour so they can nap. read more

If they don't have enough reviews on how bad the staff is here is another. Sat infront of the order window for 10min without one word being spoke to me while an employee sits hiding from a camera on her phone with a cigarette not even hitting it just for another employee to walk outside to smoke with her and then have conversation hour while customers are waiting. I could manage this place better in a coma. read more

Stopped in the drive thru one Saturday on the way to work. Took them 8 minutes to take my order and another 12 minutes to deliver it. There was one car ahead of me and they went inside to complain. I called. The black kid in the window absolutely didn't give a shit. I told the manager no one gets in a drive thru expecting to take 20 minutes. I was gonna go back today. 6 weeks later then I looked on Yelp. I'll go to Culvers instead. read more

Just watched as waiter ate off of someone's plate (all the way across the room) and then deliver it to a customer. I had to leave.

So I order a triple steak burger with all the condiments, a side of onion rings and fries, and a eggnog shake using the Ubereats app. What I GOT was a burger with only ketchup and mayo, two small orders of fries that were cold, and no shake at all after waiting a HOUR for them to make my order. I dumped eighteen dollars into a uber eats order for a meal that's not even worth three. Next time I'll be making sure to order from IHOP instead of this place, and I can only imagine how horrid it is going in there in person. Steak n Shake, you need to really up your quality. Complete waste of my time and money. read more

Night shift people kick ass !! this place is aite with me they get my orders right and fast

We have been to the Ulmerton Largo Steak and Shake numerous times and have always had great service. We love the food and the prices are so affordable. However, the last couple of times we were there, we have found the restaurant quite dirty, smudges on the glass partition between the booth, floor extremely dirty and wet in some places.and observed a staff member wipe the booth seat and then the table with the same cloth. Las time we ate there, the wait was near 30 minutes, the salad came at the same time as the meal, and the food was cold. I find this regrettable as we love your food and look forward to return to Florida every year to eat at your restaurant. Northern Snowbirds read more

I never learn my lesson. I actually got my cheese sauce because I asked to make sure it was in there. However my chili didn't have any cheese or onions and the fries were atleast an hour old. I never thought I would say anything was better than Mcdonalds but Mcdonalds is 5 stars compared to this s**t hole. I wish they would close it down and put something better in its place! read more

Steak ’n Shake - This was the 3rd one I ate. The first 2 were dry. I'm assuming it's because all of the garlic sauce was on this 1 burger - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

Slowest service ever, drive through for 8 minutes to repeat my order 7 times than nobody responds , went inside waited 11 minutes at counter to be waited on finally got food sandwich was smushed and all jacked up .... Slowest and worst service ever.... this is why I go 15 min out of my way to go to the one in St pete.... they need to get their crap together or hire people who actually know what their doing read more

Steak ’n Shake - Waited over 15 min for this crap - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

First of all, the Manager named ASHLEY is one of the rudest employees I EVER had to deal with, refused to get on the phone when I called and had 3 of her fry cooks get on the phone and try to answer my questions when I had asked for the Manager, then ASHLEY finally got on the phone and told me she was busy and what do I want.... excuse me? Who does she think she is? She is the rudest manager I HAVE EVER TALKED TO.... my wife came thru the drive thru and ordered two of the same meals with NO TOMATO OR ONION, as for I am allergic to tomatoes and the wife does not like onions, but they both came with BOTH....this is what you get when you hire people that can't read and want 15 dollars an hour.... pathetic. ... I will never go back to the restaurant again, sending an email with link to yelp to corporate so they can see what kind of people they hire.... ASHLEY, you need to find another job as for you have NO idea how to talk to customers. ..CC corporate for Steak and Shake. ASHLEY needs to be FIRED.... read more

Steak ’n Shake - Does this look like I added Tomato or Onion? - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

I wish I could give this place no stars. I brought my family to Florida and kept telling everyone how good Steak n Shake was. After convincing them to go and stopping in at 11:30PM we walked into the dirtiest restaurant ever. 9 tables had not been cleared and in fact all 9 remained full of waste until we left. I counted 4 employees that night and only two tables with guests. If you can't clean off the visible part of your restaurant do you actually want me to believe that you exercise a decent cleaning process in the kitchen? If you are a manager here please use this as constructive criticism. When your staff look like they just rolled out of bed and slept in their clothes and you cannot maintain the dining area you are basically telling all guests you do not care. Sure your locals may continue to come as they probably feel bad but you have officially ensured you receive no new business. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Super Clean - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

Well went back to indulge in a little nostalga. Once again okay food and terrible service. Two waitresses only two tables seated waited over 15 minutes for a check aftwe food was finished. A man waiting for a to go order, over 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Looks as if management has servers doing way too much other work. read more

HORRIBLE. Ordered online and spent an hour in drive thru to get my food. The fries I was given were cold and the m&m milkshake had spoiled milk by the taste. I was going to leave a negative review online and I noticed the last couple days other customers have complained about sour taste in the milkshakes. This location needs shut down if they have been serving sour milk for several days. I need the regional mgr or someone ABOVE the store manager to contact ASAP. I will be reporting this franchise location to the BBB and the Florida Department of Health for this violation. read more

Worse service I sat at the counter for at least 20 mins no one ask me if I wanted a menu or tried to take my order. Don't know if it was a racial issue all the White people we served... will never go back they have lost my business for ever read more

Walked in and the waitresses were in a corner talking. The girls looked up multiple times before one finally walked over and said 'I'll clean this table up and you can sit here.' Open booths lined the back wall. My stepdad simply asked why we couldn't sit at one of the already clean tables, and the seater got a horrible attitude, and once we sat at the cleaned off table, didn't say another word to us. Instead she stuck her nose up and walked away. Once seated, we sat there for close to 15 minutes with NO service. Not even a drink order. However, the customers coming in after us were being seated and helped. Every table needed to be wiped off because they were conversing in the corner every time we looked at them. I would never go there again. Ever. read more

NOTE: This review generally applies to other Steak 'n Shake stores in the Tampa Bay area. Steak 'n Shake - Store #284, 01/23/2016 @ 9:47 am for breakfast (includes previous visits, all times and days). Overall: Inconsistent, shabby, slow food preparation and waiting service. This is contingent upon the time of the day, day of the week and the amount of personnel that showed up to work. Occasionally, everything can be prefect with the food and the service, but that is somewhat rare. Caution is advised, but generally if there is more that 8 patrons and/or less than 3 servers, just turn around and go somewhere else. This generally applies to other stores in the Tampa Bay area. read more

It's difficult to say who advertises on TV most in this area - 1-800-ASK-DAVE, an attorney referral service that targets the poor and/or naive, Florida Metropolitan University, where you can train to be a masseur, dental technician, or paralegal, among several thrilling career opportunities, or Steak n Shake, a burger joint several notches above the national fast food chains. After seeing a dozen or so ads for the latter within a very short period of time, my mother developed a yen for one of their Side-By-Side Milk Shakes, which combine two flavors in the same glass. Fortunately, this location is less than two minutes away, so I hopped in the car and headed over for a couple of take-out orders. Not having had any of the food, I can't comment on its quality - the extensive menu is big on steakburgers, sandwich melts, soups, salads, and chili - but the place looked immaculate and the kid at the counter was friendly and polite, calling me "Sir" at the end of each sentence. (As this tends to happen often in this area, I'm not sure if it's simply a Southern thing or a sign I'm starting to look old.) Both the chocolate/coffee mocha and strawberry/peach were thick and rich and proved to be flavorful combos. My only disappointment was that my request for malt powder was overlooked . . . or so little was added that its taste couldn't be detected. For a malt man like myself, a shake without it is like a bowl of pasta without the parmesan. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

This Steak and Shake needs some work. I continue to try and see if I have a different finding. With each visit to this establishment, I find so many things going on. First on entering, you notice the number of tables that are dirty, and just sitting that way. No one in the place is attempting to clean them off. Generally about 50% of the tables are dirty. This isn't just not wiped off. But also left with dirty dishes, and glasses sitting. The floors are slippery under your feet from the amount of grease on them. In the past 3 visits I have noted the person that might be portraying management to stand and have conversations with employees and visitors for 30-90 minutes. This continues to go on while the dirty tables sit. I have experienced having to wait to be seated while the manager continues her conversations. I have noted many times when I visit there may be 2 wait staff, and one of them is doing the work. Now the food. I only give 2 stars because the food is always good. Cooked well. The burgers are tender. Prepared just as requested. The milk shakes are also very tasty. I always visit this place in the middle of the night. It is understandable the rules may be a bit more relaxed. However in my opinion as far as staff goes, there are many improvements that could be made. read more

Typical Steak n Shake, but this one has great service. We have a large family, and they never fail to accomodate.

I've always loved their food but their service could use some serious help. I guess they're understaffed or something.

Yeah, I know it's a chain restaurant, fastish type food. but, this is not a McDonald's, or burger king. The food is good, cheap, made to order, and the service is good. Come on... A double burger and a big order of fries for $3.99? Can't beat that.,, even fills my gravity challenged as$! Plus its across the street from the Largo Mall, where I do 80% of my shopping. Me likee. I would like to see a choice of fries other than shoestrings, but it's not a deal breaker. Chili's good too. read more

We heart Steak 'n Shake. Chunky double and triple burgers are hard to come by where we're from. We went here twice on our trip and it was yummsville. Fries are yum. Burgers are yum. Waitress service was yum. And the decor is so interesting. We like it!! read more

Good place for a cheap meal. Milk shakes are great. One night we stopped by with our son and family from Pennsylvania. My son ordered a root beer float. We were almost finished with our meal and realized he never received his root beer float. We we asked what was taking so long the waitress said no one know how to make one and their trying to find out. We told them and it turned out great. We still laugh when we remember that. read more

Good clean restaurant, friendly staff and about what you would expect for a decent diner. Busy, but staff managed. Burgers were good, shakes tasty, and fries hot. Onion rings were a winner, would def return! read more

Got my food through doordash. Ordered a mushroom burger and a chocolate Reeces Peanut Butter shake. Shake cup was only half-full, no whipped cream or cherry. Burger was DROWNED in Mayonaisse and was even overflowing onto the wrapper. It was all you could taste. Did not come with ketchup or napkins. Had no way to contact directly about the poor quality of the order, since no one answered the phone. read more

they had the drive-thru closed so i went inside and they wouldn't accept a $100 bill. pretty terrible if you asked me.

I spent an hour in the drive-thru to receive cold food, melted milkshakes, soggy fries. I'm extremely disappointed with the food I received from this steak 'n shake. Normally their drive-thru's take a little bit but this is the longest I've waited for awful food. Very upsetting read more

Came here again, on another visit to the Tampa Bay area. This time we tried the breakfasts, and I must say, you have to try the breakfast skillets they offer....sooooo goooood!!!!! I ordered the Portobello N' Sausage skillet and it was incredibly delicious! It came in a cute little skillet with eggs, sausage crumbles, portobello mushrooms, carmelized onions with cheese melted on top and served with either a bagel or biscuit. Would highly recommend getting it if you love mushrooms. Very tasty and satisfying! read more

I've been to Steak N Shake in different cities, inlcuding Tampa and Kissimmee, and I greatly appreciate the consistency of the high standards that they hold for food and service at all of them. I've never once had a bad experience. This particular location was no different. My husband and I were seated as soon as we arrived, and promptly brought our drink orders. On this night, I tried a bowl of their chili, which was quite tasty. For our meals, I had an avocado chicken sandwhich and my husband had another type of chicken sandwhich. They were both delicious. I must say that the fries are a highlight of the meal. They look tiny, but taste amazing. This restaurant gives a new meaning to "Fast Food", delivering a true dine-in atmosphere with freshly yet quickly made to order meals. Our waitress was also attentive, yet not overbearing. I will definitely be visiting again. read more

The employees are bickering like teenagers. It is not clean and it's not pleasant. Sorry s&s. You need to do better than this.

Drive thru order. Western bbq burger came with a single crouton on it (??). The Frisco melt had one side of the bread charred black. We also had requested salt and were given 2 pepper packets when we had 2 large fries. Disappointed. read more

Rebecca treated us with the worst service through our stay then to top it all off smoked a cigarette instead of making our to go shakes then comes back in thru the front door and immediately touches food without washing her hands. It was disgusting! Worst Steak 'n Shake I've ever been to and sadly the only one in my area. read more

I come to this place so many times due to excellent service, except for today. I was not aware that now the 7x7 is no longer a to go item. The supervisor or manager made the exception due to I've been here so many times, when the cook was asked how to pack it to go, one of the food prep guys says "just squish it you are not supposed to order it to go, thats what they get for ordering it." I heard the guy and told him so thats what I get for ordering it he said "pretty much" Thank God I kept my cool and just smiled at the stupidity of him. Great customer service. read more

Quick and friendly service. Food was good, not spectacular. Pretty much what you would expect.

Amazing food and great service! Bring in the coupons they mail to you to make it even cheaper. Their shakes are great, and their chili is unbeatable! I love the diner atmosphere and the service is always pleasant! read more

Pricing great! Cleanliness great! Speed of service great! Taste great! Quality great! Service better than great! Beats the nearby restaurants , hands down. Been visiting the area for a week. Best outside meal I have had. And the shakes are great too. read more

Arrive at drive thru, I already know what I want, but instead i'm told to look at the menu and they will be right with me, they weren't for 3-4 mins!! I said hello, she responds I'll be right with you, another lie, gave up and drove away, I mean, I'm ready to order and there not ready to take an order. Never had this problem at Mc D or BK read more

Can you post a minus star? It is hard to even know where to begin how horrible this experience was. I am going thru chemo right now so food is an issue to start with. You have to follow what cravings you have. I wanted a good milkshake and a frisco melt, should be easy enough, right? Nope, the milkshake was icee water and the top was not put on right so most of it spilled all over the car.... note that if it was a REAL milkshake like advertised it would have been too think to instantly empty all over in the car. The frisco melt was a joke, raw bread, not toasted except a small spot in the center of the bread and it looked like something ate off one corner of one of the beef patties. All this nasty stuff to the tune of $8.85 for a pitiful sandwich and runny milk......oh and I forgot about the would be gospel singer want to be screaming at the top of his lungs in the backside of the building that I had to listen to for the 40 minutes waiting at the drive thru to get crappy food. NEVER go to at least the ulmerton location EVER read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burgers Near Me - Largo, Florida

See all

Came in on an early morning last week, pleasant friendly service in a clean quiet dining room. This is consistent will all their locations I've been to. Ordered the three silver-dollar pancakes for a buck and a half plus three of their dollar breakfast tacos. Pancakes were much bigger than a silver dollar. Coffee mug reloaded three times at least. Their retro interior and golden oldies music is always welcome. Unfortunately they are now starting breakfast at six, so it's the dinner menu before then. read more
