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

Whenever I go there I realize that I like the idea of Steak'N Shake more than I actually like Steak'N Shake.

We had one several years ago, but it closed a few years back. The drive-thru was crazy slow and the interior was surprisingly filthy. A predominantly white decor was not a good idea.

I thought it was amusing because about a decade ago we were known as the fast food capital and yet Steak'N Shake couldn't make it.

I thought maybe location was a factor; a pizza place failed there (greasy dive) and then SnS failed there, but a Chick-Fil-A has thrived there for at least four years.


Are all their drive thrus that slow? I've been to a couple of places in the STL area, but I've only eaten inside the restaurant. I know they "hand pack" their shakes which could be time consuming, 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.

Steak n Shake drive thrus are all slow because they make the food...like any restaurant. Might as well just go in. They're not a fast food place.

This. I think its a hold over from fondly remembered trips as a kid.

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]!

[heyzeus]

Do they have organic quinoa?

Yummy...



Maybe they should add "taste free" to the package too....

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

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.

Exactly. It's more like a pasta than a burger.
