The thought of or seeing Steak and Shakes now makes me sad. After my dad was hospitalized with cancer he would have a shake to eat almost daily. Since they are a bit better than hospital shakes I would regularly stop by Steak and Shake to pick up a shake for my dad. At first he would inhale them but as time went by he would eat less and less of the shake. Towards the end he was too weak to eat any of it so they would just sit untouched by his bed and melt. I still brought them though because that was our little ritual
Talk about good! OMG yum! And their cookies & cream shake -- to die for! And it's cheaper than Mcshit!
Some people here like to hate on McDonald's because they feel like that's the cool thing to do but they're wrong. You don't become the biggest fast food chain in the world if you have crap food. I'm not saying McDonald's is the best fast food but it's reasonably priced and the food is solid. It's better than Steak & Shake.It's pretty tasty, I only get it when traveling since the one we had here closed (actually never went to that one, it was on the other side of the city so a good ~45 minute drive)
I can't believe anyone would rate McDonald's over Steak & Shake though
I eat at McDonald's at least once a month, it's fine and predictable. But there's no comparison whatsoever, Steak & Shake is far and away superior to McD's. Literally no contest.Some people here like to hate on McDonald's because they feel like that's the cool thing to do but they're wrong.

I went to Five Guys for the first time today. Holy shit they give you a lot of food. I got bacon cheeseburger with jalapeño and onion, and a medium fries. I didn't know the burgers were 5" thick, and when you get a cup of fries they fill the cup, put it in the bag, then add a shit ton more on top. Spendy(boss paid though), but very good. I'll go back, but get smaller versions of everything.Better than BK/McD, not as good as Five Guys. Price sits somewhere in between.
Shakes are garbage compared to any specialty shop, or if you don't want to get out of the car, Cookout.
set it in austin and it's the plot of a (seedy) richard linklater filmDuring the summer of 1990 me, my older brother, his GF Janet, and this girl I was white knighting named Misty who was a dancer at Big Al's, all lived in a rented house near Bradley University in Peoria IL. I was selling weed, Janet worked at Denny's and my brother worked at Steak & Shake. Janet had acquired a few cases of mozzarella sticks from her work and my brother acquired two big bags of frozen burger pucks from Steak & Shake. The cooking technique for the burgers was to fry them on one side until they were thawed and then flip and smash them flat with the industrial spatula that my bro was smart enough to borrow as well.
We were living like fucking kings, burgers and cheese sticks every day. Double or triple burgers with cheese sticks in between patties at first, down to just basic hamburgers with mustard. By late August the good times were nearing their inevitable end though. Misty had broken my heart for the last time, a noise complaint led to arrests for the stolen street signs decorating the living room and an eviction notice, and the burgers were all gone.
Everyone went their separate ways, me down to Carbondale to sell weed and study accounting at SIU, my brother and Janet split up, and Misty continued sucking off any random customer who had cocaine to share.
To this day whenever I see a Steak & Shake it reminds me of that glorious summer. I can still smell the mix of weed, cigarettes, stale beer, stripper perfume, and fried burgers from inside that little rental house. I can't put my finger on it, but the few Steak & Shake burgers I've had since haven't tasted near as good as they did when cooked in that dirty kitchen next to the pile of Hefty bags filled with empty cans.
It's crap. There's one less than 5 minutes from my house. The only thing good: 1) they send coupon all the time so you never have to pay full price if you like the food. 2) it's open 24/7.
McDonald's is better.
Nope. Don't think I've ever even seen one...but cookies and cream milk shakes?
Jalapeño crunch burger ftw.
I really miss white castle though, I'm at least 1000 miles from the nearest one
Do you have Krystals? It's pretty much same as White Castle except Krystals is superior because the burgers have mustard. And Krystals have chili cheese pup and chili cheese fries.Jalapeño crunch burger ftw.

Their restaurants always seem to be dirty, and the service takes forever.
Are you one of those people who plays an MMO and says stuff like "dude" or "wtf" with no further context?
