    you take them both and there you have the Steak and Shake. The Steak and Shake...

    Okay, so it's actually called Steak 'n' Shake. And most of the people who work there look freaky as heck. But the chili mac (or whatever it is called) is strangely addictive. And their desserts are really tasty.

    Go there if you're in a hurry after the bar rush. IHOP and Perkins will be packed. Steak 'n' Shake will not.

    Oh... and the Steak Burger is good once you get used to to texture.

    I want to like Steak and Shake, and I've really tried. I've been there several times for both breakfast and lunch. They do have the best shakes in town, and I love their french fries, but their other food offerings haven't been impressive to me. They do get points for variety, though...quite a range of short-order specialities are available.

    The thing that has put me off most at Steak and Shake is the service. It has never been very busy whenever I have eaten there, but I have had to wait forever to be waited on, and then waited what felt like another eon for my food. If the food were worth waiting for, that would be one thing, but...it's not.

    I will still go through the drive through at Steak and Shake for an occasional shake, but probably will not ever go inside for a meal again. And I'm sad about that, because it _could_ be a great place and just isn't.

    This place kicks ass, as long as its free. I have only gone there once, and the workers there are so dumb they forgot to charge us for our $25 order. Don't get me wrong, i would not recommend this place to anyone, unless it is free. The food portions are small and overpriced as hell.

    As of January 2009, Steak N Shake is only open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the week, they open at 10 am and close at 3 am.

    Its not a company owned steak n shake, and you can certainly tell that by the way the Restaurant is run and the horrible quality of food.
