This is the best fast food / burger place in San Antonio. There are a few things about it that stand out and keep my family, friends and I coming back weekly. The first thing I love is that they fry with beef tallow instead of seed oils, which is super great health wise, because I do all I can not to eat them so I have almost no restaurants that I can eat at, especially not fast food and especially not French fries. So that's a huge plus because their fries are amazing. Secondly, the prices are great. The 4 meal deals are super great prices and it keeps me coming back for more! I think the prices are generally great although the shakes are kinda pricey but they are usually that way at most places. I'll also say that the staff is extremely friendly and always helpful and accommodating. I am happy to ask them for things or help with an order and they show genuine care and service. Not to mention that the restaurant has that 1960s dinner vibe which is sweet and really brings together the experience. I love this restaurant and I will always consider it when going out for a bite. I will say that it would be nice if there was another one closer to my house on the east side, but I still don't mind the 30 minute drive because it's so tasty at a great price, with awesome workers. read more

This is the best fast foody burger place in the area. We came on national burger day and they gave out free burgers. The staff was so friendly. They made conversation with us regarding our order. This was a very clean restaurant with many nostalgic looking decorations on the wall. The double burger is the best item. Highly recommend! read more

They seriously could not get our very simple order right. It was unbelievable. Other reviewers obviously experienced the same thing but we tried anyway. We were wrong. One saving grace; got our money back. read more

This was my first time trying Steak 'n Shake, and honestly, I'm glad I finally stopped in. With how crowded the fast-food scene is, I wasn't sure what to expect--but they seriously impressed me. The inside has a clean, vintage diner vibe that immediately makes you want to order a milkshake. Everything felt fresh and well-kept. The fries were the first thing that surprised me--they were super crisp, hot, and you can definitely taste the difference from being fried in beef tallow. They were incredible. The burger was just as good: fresh, flavorful, and even though I usually don't like pickles, they didn't bother me one bit because everything worked so well together. The biggest shock? I didn't walk out feeling that heavy, sluggish "fast-food crash." You can tell they're using fresher, higher-quality ingredients, and it makes a huge difference. Steak 'n Shake went far above my expectations. For me, it's easily one of the quiet powerhouses in the fast-food world. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Burger and fries - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I grew up on Steak 'n' Shake in Missouri. I love their Frisco Melts, Fries, and Chili. It's been a while since i visited this location in San Antonio, so i recently went to feed that hometown craving I had. I was disappointed all around. I ordered online, so I could pick it up and get home quickly. I had a short wait because it wasn't ready. It wasn't a long wait so nothing to fuss about. I ordered a Frisco Melt, fries, and a small cup of chili. And i ordered a drink. Once to my car I realized I didn't get the drink. So I go back in and had to wait to get a cup to fill it at the self serve area. Back in my car I leave the parking lot and reach my hand in for a fry. Ack!!! No fries!!! So back I go. Again I go in to show I had my melt, chili, but no fries. The cook argued that I must have not noticed that I ordered the chili as my side, not fries. Well the beauty of ordering online is that I have my order in email. Once I showed him my order, along with the girl who had been the server, they made me wait while they made the fries. I know the cook was complaining in the back. In no way was I ever anything but pleasant. In fact I apologized for the multiple times I came in to bother them. And that's what I felt like to them. A bother, even when it was their fault. Also, I have now learned that I don't like beef tallowed fried fries. I don't eat fast food burgers often, and I should have passed this time as well. The melt was REALLY greasy. The joint was a bit messy inside. I assume they had just had a rush. Disappointed, but one nice thing besides the online ordering was that they wrapped my Frisco Melt in foil so it stayed hot until I got home. read more

Great service. You may order in person, via the kiosk, perhaps an app. Parking is kinda tight. Food, however, was excellent! Sure wish there was one on the south side of San Antonio. read more

Good burgers, but check your order before leaving. I ordered add ons of lettuce, tomato and onion on a burger to go, and didn't realize they weren't added until I got home. Too far to go back. And the fries got soggy before I could finish them. read more

I was helping my daughter with 2 dogs she rescued from getting run over. In helping with the large boys, I worked up an appetite. I don't know this area of San Antonio, so I was not sure on where to eat. She said she had eaten at this place before and thought I would like it. It seems like this place is kind of hidden, but she knew where we were going. On getting to it, parking is not an issue even with the large crowds gathered here and the other nearby restaurants. Going in, we were met by several ordering kiosks and menus are displayed overhead behind the counter. She ordered immediately, and I caught on rather quickly:-) We paid for the order and went and grabbed a seat. Our orders were ready fast, and they called our name to pick up. We grabbed our drinks on the way back to the table and were set to eat. I guess we were really hungry because we wolfed our food down fast. Both of our orders were prepared 100% correctly. The food was hot and delicious, and the ice-cold tea really hit the spot. Will I return? Definitely when in this area. read more

Steak n Shake is a great place if your looking for a throwback type of burger joint. I like the retro look and feel. The burgers are cooked freshly right Infront of you and the fresh toppings really make the burger taste amazing. With shake in the name you have to try there selection of milk shakes. I had a Nutella shake on this visit. I was a happy customer!!! Great job Steak n Shake. You stand out in a growing field of so many burger options. read more

Western BBQ 'n Bacon Steakburger 'n Fries The first time eating here. Pros: Great Customer Service, Great tasting Steak-burgers, Cleanliness, Price can be compared to in and out or Freddy's Cons: The coke m was either low on carbonation or syrup. All the times I've had fountain drinks they've never required ice as it's always been cold, but it was warm. Fries: grease needed rotation. You could taste it read more

Service was a 10/10. The workers were so chill and very nice. The burgers are so gooooood.

I don't know what kind of ice cream they use, I ordered a snickers shake, it was horrible, I threw it away. Yuk.

I hadn't been here in awhile due to covid ,but wow I love everything about this place still. They now have a self serve touchscreen kiosk which made ordering my food fast and easy. The manager was very helpful asking if anyone had any questions or needed anything. I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger meal and single steak burger meal & it came out fast and most importantly right! Every bite was absolutely delicious!! I got a Butterfinger milkshake to go which was good, they even had a new flavor cotton candy. I even signed up for the rewards to redeem exclusive deals too. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Steak ’n Shake - COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I had always wanted to try the Steak 'n Shake and I did recently! Now, I will warn you, the burgers are not the biggest you've ever had, it reminded of the size of in n out and Wendy's. Now that doesn't diminish the flavor that's put out at all, so don't be fooled. Everything was freshly made on the grill that is really visible and not disappointing. Also, the staff was mostly led by some teenagers but that's fine they had good service and couldn't complain. The biggest thing that won me over, was the shakes! I had a Nutella shake and let me tell you what, this thing was fantastic! It reminded me so much of cheesy Janes Nutella shake. With that being said, the shake comparison alone should win you over. read more

Now back open for dine-in as of 12/22/2020! Staff seems to be still learning the ordering/POS system but were very friendly and walked us through their new menu as well. Food was fresh and so tasty that we ordered seconds! So glad to have them back! read more

Great service but the burgers were not good. Sadly, there was no flavor. I wondered why there was no smells of burgers cooking. I don't think I'd go back for a burger. read more

A-okay! We went the day after Christmas and the restaurant was pretty packed for dinner. I felt bad because it was clear that they were understaffed. Only 4 people were working including the manager who was at the grill making 10 burgers at once. The restaurant is small but nice inside. The booths are very comfortable and I imagine that this would be a nice place for families to eat together. As soon as we got to the counter we were told that their fry machine wasn't working. Really I wanted to try the burger and the milkshake so I was okay with it. I had signed up for their e-club and received a coupon for a free original double cheese steakburger for joining AND for my birthday this month. My boyfriend and I wanted to take advantage of our coupons and the manager redeemed them right away for us. I also ordered the nutella milkshake and my boyfriend had a dos xx on draft. They give you a pager and then it buzzes when your food is ready. They had forgotten to get us our drinks, but we just reminded them and they apologized for the wait. The floor near the soda dispenser was wet and needed to be mopped up but with only 4 people working I don't think it was a priority. Our food took about 15 minutes to arrive. To our surprise our burgers were served with fries, so perhaps they got their fry machine to work again while we were waiting. Unfortunately the fries were super salty, but the burgers were good! The milkshake had chunks of ice in it, so it wasn't as smooth as I would like, but I liked the flavor. Overall, I would be willing to come back to give this restaurant another try, especially since it was obvious they were having an off night. read more

Steak ’n Shake - Original double cheese steakburger, fries and Nutella milkshake - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Never been here before and decided to try it, I was on a budget and got the original burger with fries for $4.49 - it was so good made fresh made to order infront of you, better than fast food burgers! I ended up coming back to try their Bacon Lovers burger, it was so delicious. The burger was perfectly seasoned, bacon was just right, and very cheesy! I loved it. Definetly recommend it and want to try more, especially their shakes n hot dogs. OK on the customer service, the food and restaurant cleanliness was perfect. read more

Steak ’n Shake - BACON LOVERS - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

When I heard San Antonio had a new Steak n Shake I was excited. So I placed my order online and went to pick it up. Takes4 minutes to get there. I walk in the the restaurant to the cash registers. I'm waiting four about three to five minutes then I yell hello. Some young man looks around the corner and says, "hold on". So I hold on. He comes out and I give him my name and tell him I'm picking up my order. He points to a pick on the counter and tells me, "there you go". So there I go to the other end of the restaurant and grab it myself. Then I get home and it's obvious this food has ben sitting more than a few minutes. This food was completely disappointing. Just look at the pictures. It was cold to the touch. The plastics container the cheese fries were in had good crust around the cover as if it was sitting for several hours. The fries were cold and soggy like day old fries would be.The burger was cold and the bun had burger grease saturated in it as if it had been sitting for a while. Complete garbage!! I took it back and told them to shove it! read more

Can't get use the very thin fries. Food was good. Milkshake was amazing!! Love it! I will go back again

Steak n Shake San Antonio in Alamo Ranch, hmmm what can I say other than I was surprised by the location itself. It's not the traditional diner style Steak n Shake you see nationwide but a place your order at the counter and grab your drink and pick your seat. The menu is more limited than the traditional Steak n Shake. The staff seemed pleasant and on their feet cleaning tables. Now the food, I ordered the bacon lovers cheeseburger, came out really greasy and the steak burger was soaked in grease so a loss of a couple stars there. The next Star was loss due to the effect from eating such a greasy burger itself, let's put it this way, it'll run through you. Clean atmosphere however horrible greasy steak burger, the only good thing was the skinny fries and the shake was about it. read more

The food was decent. My daughter's meal was not ready until the rest of my family was almost completely done with their food. The entire restaurant was dirty. Not like.. busy after a rush dirty, but the chairs, booths, floors, high chairs, trash cans, bathrooms... all grimy and gross. You can tell they don't "deep" clean a thing. I saw one man bussing tables, and he only wiped the top of the tables. Pretty gross in my opinion. read more

Not terrible. The fries were good. Eat them fast because they will get cold quick. No real complaints. Tasted good enough but nothing to rave about. Disappointed but I shouldn't have been. My first visit was so lackluster I should've known better read more

Steak ’n Shake - Is this a $7.50 hamburger??? It shouldn't be...$3 tops - Burgers Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

One star because of their customer service. Western burger was good, but wish they gave more fries especially since they are skinny. The soda machine wasn't working and were told until after we finished ordering. We had to choose between water, lemonade or tea. My husband ordered lemonade and was given a cup halfway full of ice with a bit of lemonade, when he asked for a refill. They told him no. He would have to repurchase another lemonade drink from $2.15. What a bummer that they wouldn't offer a complimentary drink especially since their soft drink machine wasn't working. He wasn't given the option of no ice.... they should take care of their customers. read more

Service was not good nor bad it was plain. It was our 1st time at Steak 'n Shake. We drove 33min to get here and we got ugly stares from one of the cashiers the entire time we were waiting to order. Food didn't took long but the ketchup at the table tasted bad like expired, like if instead of replacing it they just keep refilling the bottle. I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

Great portobella mushroom Swiss cheese burger--I always add lettuce and tomato--got to have some veggies ! The only complaints I have are (1)cannot phone in order--only accept online or Uber eats --and since I was driving I couldn't go On line ( 2) I left my phone charging in car so couldn't use my app to gain rewards for my purchase--asked assistant manager and she flippantly replied "too late" can't do anything about it--but I know there is a way because the manager helped me when I first set up app after I had made my initial purchase! And I got my rewards for my Purchase. Then when I picked up my order from Same girl she practically slid the bag across the bar to me and no smile -no thank you for coming in -no come back and see us--no do you want anything else (ketchup, napkins) read more
