Ordering…read moreat this location is via kiosk only; apparently, they can't be bothered to operate a cash register. It took 24 minutes to be served a single cheeseburger and fries, apparently to allow them time to grow cold first. The staff were spectacularly apathetic, as though they were staging a slowdown strike. It's not as though they were busy, either. I was one of six tables, two of whom had been served before I arrived. Service this slow and inefficient is truly remarkable. I will say the milkshake was tasty, and because of the well insulated cup, it had not melted by the time I was served my food. That was the only bright spot in this experience. It's a shame when a once very good restaurant chain falls on hard times, but Steak N Shake isn't the first, and surely won't be the last.

Clean.... No table service.

When I had placed my order, the lady in charge (owner or manager) had just (verbally) told off a man. I suppose that should have a clue about what we might experience. I chose 2 stars because the ice cream is really good. Everyone loved theirs order. My wife said the soft serve cone was one of the best she's ever had. However, the customer service deserves 0-1 stars. When she handed the cone to my brother in law for my 4-year old nephew, he said," I asked for a cup." She replied," You said cone." Try to imagine a very harsh tone here. After I finished my shake, I went to ask for water. I very gingerly asked if I could have a cup of ice water. She came back and said, ".25." I didn't have any money, so I said, "sorry, let me go see if I can find some." She said," you don't have any money?!." "No, I said. We just had a very larger order. We're sitting over there." She said, "I don't usually give out water for free. Do you know what goes into this cup." At that point, I said, "Sorry, if it's that big of a deal, don't worry about it." I guess I shouldn't have assumed I could get ice water with an order of ice cream. I hope the person finds happiness, or whatever was bothering her that day was just a short-term thing. It would be a shame to create a reputation of rude treatment when the ice cream is so good.

Little known to me was that they are really light on the toppings, especially when it comes to protein. When I saw how much steak they put on my bowl, I asked for some Carne Asada and they were light with that as well. According to chipotle you're supposed to get 4 ounces of meat per bowl. There's no way I even got close to that on either scoop. To make matters worse, when I got to the cashier, it was a whopping $19.25.. I was told that they charge an additional $5.60 for double meat. I wish they would've told me that when I was at the front of the line as there was really nothing I could do at that point. Service to boot wasn't very friendly just skimpy. This will be the last time I come here. P.S. One minute after I posted this review, I got an automatic reply. I kind of wonder if anybody's really monitoring this besides a bot from chipotle

Next thing I know we and contracted FOOD POISONING that night around 8:00 PM. First I notice my stomach bloating really badly and of course diarrhea and vomiting. I couldn't sleep well that night from being sick. Next morning my niece calls and ask, "hey are you sick"? I'm like heck yeah we BOTH had the same symptoms. I call Pancho Taco Mexican Restaurant and the so called manager didn't apologize for one, nor did he want to rectify the issue. He literally said, "What do you want me to do"? I said excuse me?? Because I'm lost, how are you going to rectify this? "He says he's not"! I said what sir, we come here quite often since being here this past year, karaoke, lunch, dinner dates, my niece comes for margaritas with her siblings and friends and you don't want to at least refund me and my niece's cost of dinner (not knowing at the time my daughter was sick that night also and my five year old niece) since we ate the same thing and live separately and NEITHER ONE OF US ATE ANYTHING EARLIER THAT DAY... He told me no and never!! I'm like sir I paid $80 and I'm not asking for anything but our portions. He continues to say no!! Next myself, my niece and her daughter goes to urgent care and ALL THREE OF OUR STOMACHS WERE RUMBLING the doctor said and gave us Zoltan and said we had to let it run its course. It's so crazy we have a place that got us all sick and I'm getting backlash over $30 or so bucks and he's claiming the chicken and steak was cut differently and there's no way. I'm like sir my daughter is sick and she doesn't even eat meat, and there is a such thing of cross contamination. But it's okay I'll just call the Mansfield Ontario Richland County Health Department and contact the Usda Food Safety And Inspection Service

Pancho's has been open for about three years now, and you can tell they've put a lot of thought into making it welcoming. The restaurant is cutely decorated with Mexican paintings and tasteful little knickknacks, giving it a comfortable, relaxed feel. Even though it was New Year's Day, it wasn't packed -- but there was a nice steady crowd, which is always a good sign. We were seated quickly, greeted right away, and brought complimentary chips and salsa. Both were fresh and really good -- the kind you keep reaching for. I ordered the Pancho's Burrito, which lets you choose your protein. I went with taco meat. It comes loaded with fajita veggies (peppers and onions) and normally topped with red enchilada sauce, but I asked to swap that out for queso cheese sauce instead. There was a small upcharge, but it was totally worth it. The burrito also came with rice and beans, and all of that for $13.99 felt like a great value. The burrito was huge and absolutely delicious -- I could barely finish it. My wife ordered the Pancho's Combo, which included a chicken soft taco, a steak hard taco (she swapped it for ground beef), and a chicken enchilada. It was served with rice, lettuce, sour cream, cheese sauce, and guacamole. She said everything was really good and cooked perfectly. To top it off, we finished with churros, which were cooked to order and served warm with honey and chocolate dipping sauce. A perfect ending to the meal. Service was fast and friendly, thanks to Rina, who did a great job taking care of us. I honestly wish this place was closer to where we live because I'd be here a lot more often. Next time I'm traveling through the area and looking for something to eat, Pancho's Tacos will definitely be my go-to spot. Highly recommend!
