     a cheeseburger in a styrofoam container
    Alisa J.

    Overcharged for sub par burger. Paid nearly $7 for a bacon double cheeseburger no bun, sandwich only, and what I received was two thin beef patties and bacon all undercooked!

    I love this place. Our server Michael was absolutely wonderful. He was very patient and attentive. The prices were good and the food was excellent. I couldn't ask for anything more. The new pumpkin spice shake was awesome! It was eh for cleanliness but it was also super busy. I would totally recommend.

    Portion sizes were generous. And yum.

    Haven't been to Steak and Shake in a while so while in Chicago with the boyf, I took him to his first S&S! We got there after a long day at the United Center after midnight. We had to wait a little bit for a table but after we were seated, our waitress (who was running all the tables) was awesome. She remembered our orders, didn't rush us, and always made sure that our drinks were filled. The best part (besides the yum food and the cool ambiance)? The price. Crazy cheap. For two sodas, two meals, our total was just over ten dollars. Seriously insane. I recommend the steakburger and the seasoning salt on the fries is legit.

    Cole slaw is really soupy but creamy with good flavor

    I've been here several times and I admit as I hang my head in shame, it is usually after a night of drinking. The wait staff seems to get side tracked in the evening. The crowd is usually other drunks or high schoolers out for "coffee". I have seen all stereotypes here from Jocks to Punks, from Cheerleaders to Emo or artsy folks with some old people sprinkled in for a Midwest crazy late night sundae. I would get side tracked too. I've only been here once during the daytime and that was when the place first opened. Burgers are ok but I must say that I think the one I like is the most unhealthy sandwich ever made. The Frisco Melt is really the only thing I get if I'm getting a meal. Not too hot for their other menu items. Honestly I like their skinny fries and I like the fact that when I get them there is little to no salt! I like to salt my own stuff if I feel like it. Usually I try not to add any because processed food already has a ton in there. The SHAKES!! Yes! This is the reason to come here! (If you are too drunk DO NOT get a shake, trust me) Today I'm not drunk, I assure you. Late night Walmart run and I decided I needed a shake. Don't judge! So I went through the drive-thru. It took forever to order a shake and I think it is because it is late and the person might have been having issues. No worries. I got a side by side Chocolate and Strawberry shake and shared it with my hubby. Well.... Kind of shared? Their shakes are really tasty and they have many choices. I don't know if they are really hand scooped but they sure taste better than anything I've gotten from other places with Drive-thrus! There is one called Orange Freeze.... If you like push pops try it! It is very good and is essentially a Orange Sherbet Shake. Yummy!

    All things considered a pretty good burger for the money. Better than McDonalds, Burger King or Wendy's

    Holy moly! We came here extremely hungry and had to roll out the door from how stuffed we were!…read moreAlso they had super cute Halloween decor out which I found super charming. We both ordered doubles with cheese, bacon, and jalapeños but I had mine stacked with toppings... and that burger was huge! Next time I'm definitely calming down on the toppings and getting a single haha. It was very delicious, but we barely got to touch the tasty curly fries because of how full we were. The curly fries are always super crisp so it was a shame that my stomach could not handle very many after the burger haha. Food always comes out quickly and the staff always made sure we were taken care of. Great place of a nostalgic treat!

    I've already reviewed but I do frequent here and I must say that there's a waitress named Alivia…read moreand she is top notch. She's so friendly it blows my mind. I don't think I've ever ver seen her on an off day. Big bright smile and happy voice. The food here is delicious and the hubby and I are big fans of the burgers and fries. They must have changed the onions since my last review because they don't tear my stomach up anymore. They still have distancing in their dining room, every so many tables is blocked off. Which might be good (ha!) because a lady a few booths down is hacking up a lung right now. I'm glad I'm done eating because the sound is like nothing I've heard before.

There are also a few arcade games, one being a huge Pac Man game. The bar area is open with high top seating. There is booth/table seating in the back area. Overall the restaurant and bar is very loud and it wasn't even that busy. If Intimate and quiet is your thing, this is not the place. That said the girls behind the bar were very friendly although service little slow, but overall a decent experience. The burger was good and the beer was cold. Sweet potato fries... those could use some work...luke warm and soft. I was a little concerned when I found small shards of broken glass in my beer but the staff was great and took care of it right away. They pulled the tray out where the glasses sit to get cold and thoroughly cleaned it.
