Steak N Shake - Double Cheeseburger

Double Cheeseburger
Is Steak N Shake a fast food joint or a restaurant?
From the outside it has the markings of a fast food setup with a drive through window. However, when walking inside, the decor is 50's style diner, black and white tiles, booths, and even a counter to eat at.

We sat down and a waitress took our order. Chalk one up for restaurant. I ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. It was brought to our table in less than ten minutes. (Another restaurant feature) The cheeseburger was excellent, in the top 10 list for sure. I watched them make the burgers on the grill before. They start with a fresh round ball of meat and using the spatula, smash into a thin patty. A few minutes of sizzling and the patty is flipped. Cheese is added and then placed on the bun.

The fries were thin cut, (We will call them Mini Fries) and were tasty especially with the dipping cheese sauce.

The cost was very cheap, (A fast food feature) $4.00 with fries. We paid and left a higher than usual tip for our waitress and walked out the door.

The Grassy Knoll Institute scores 4.75 out of 5 shots and recommends steak N Shake for dinner.

  1. Whoa! 4 bucks? That's the price of an small bottle of ice tea here! Also, I can't remember the last time I ate a hamburger that actually had to be formed when grilling. I miss that :(

  2. Indeed one could almost say the price of this burger is a steal! It looks pretty decent too. But I could do without the dipping cheese sauce on the fries. Living in Mexico this provided a retro moment. McDonald's burger are the closest the we can get to those here.
