We are getting a Steak'N Shake in Phx!!!!!

I guess when you can get it all the time, it isn't that much of a treat. Sure, just take it for granted!

Damn food snob mother [expletive]!

I'm glad it's coming here, but I will admit that it's declined sharply in quality in the last 6 or so years. They lowered prices and the food quality went down.

Definitely. SnS lowered prices quite a bit when the recession hit and hasn't been the same since. It's like they're selling dollar menu quality burgers and buns for $3+

Quinoa tastes good actually. Nutty. Not a burger replacement though.

We're having all kinds of fun out here.

Steak 'n Shakes in metro Denver must close, but they don't

Haven't been to them. I like SnS but frankly it's enough just to have it as one of my guilty pleasures when visiting home.

... but I once went through the location here and it was easily 4-5 minutes; I turned off my car. IMO, you shouldn't be able to turn off a car in a drive thru.

A little off-topic, but I've read from multiple outlets that if you think you'll be idling for more than 1 minute, you're ahead to turn your car off (when it comes to gas use and environmental ramifications).

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I never use drive-thrus anymore. They are way too slow and if I'm going to wait it's going to be without wasting gas too. Of course, I no longer have little kids.

I love getting a Chili-Mac and large fries and dumping a substantial amount of the fries on top of the chili. The fries absorb the chili grease and ads a whole new level to the meal.

[expletive], I've spent a half hour at the SnS drive thru after I got off work late.

Culinary visionary. That's what you are.

This. Late night is awful. We've waited for 25 min before in the drive through. We did call a # for corporate that was on the receipt & they gave us a $25 gift card for the inconvenience. Typically we wouldn't bother, but the manager was a complete dick about it.

And then Aaron Miles wasn't even there!

True story...once upon a time, I was at the Steak n' Shake on Brentwood by the Galleria and Marshall Faulk was there with a lady. Everyone in the place was trying to play it cool. Oh, no big deal, just Marshall Faulk in that booth over there. but when he got up and left, everybody there rushed over to the window to see him and what car he was driving (Mercedes 500 or 600 SL).
