Steak N Shake

[Connonym]

Ever heard of it? It was the burger joint of choice where I grew up. They're finally opening one up here! I think I'd better buy bigger pants.

1. They're good...but sort of pricey.

For basically a burger place.

4. yeah but they're far better than McD's or BK

It's always one of our pit stops when we take a road trip to my hometown. Possibly I just love it out of nostalgia for my childhood and when I can actually have it any time I won't care for it as much.

5. Oh, I agree.

I have a special fondness for their shakes. :-) Great food. There's quite a few Steak and Shakes here in Illinois. Particularly Downstate.

Just don't go there expecting McDonald's or Burger King prices.

6. What, no Culver's near you? n/t

[Connonym]

7. hee, I live in WI

I think there's a law that there has to be a Culvers within 10 minutes of everywhere. I like S-N-S for the nostalgia of my childhood probably

13. I was gonna say...

I'll be that somewhere in Wisconsin there is a Starbucks across from a Culvers across from a Starbucks across from a Culvers!

Lewis Black's head would 'splode!

14. A Culvers inside Starbucks, in case you get hungry while they're making your mocha

;-)

15. Inside of a Culver's, inside of a Starbucks

inside of a Culver's, inside of a Starbucks!

Blown mind...

17. very pricey, actually...

you can practically go to Outback or someplace for just a few bucks more. The S&S near me hires some pretty disturbing people as waitrons, too...

2. Their side by side shakes are the bomb!

3. Really good late-night food when your playing gigs...

Nice hang out for the strange. Good food.

8. in sight, it must be right!

man i miss the steak n' shake. they have a philly burger with onions, green peppers and cheese sauce that's out of this world. and the little shoestring fries are dy-no-mite.

9. They have them here, but I've never eaten there.

I'll have to keep them in mind the next time I splurge on fast food. :)

10. I used to work there when I was 19. Want to know how...

...they make their chili sauce. You will NEVER eat there again.

:puke:

11. shhhh don't ruin the magic!

12. They are ok

I'm not *really* impressed with them, but they are alright. Although one time after a gig, I went to get one and it was obviously microwaved and tasted like shit. It happened one more time so I won't go to that one.

They opened one here close to where my office is and I go there once in a while. They also opened a Fatburger and they are a lot better, but pretty pricey.

16. I have been there a few times

Give me Wendys anytime over that place.

18. I stopped in at a Steak N Shake

in Indiana while driving cross country back in the days when I had black hair. Nothing memorable about it, either good or bad, so I suppose it was adequate road food.
