I can't believe people on here compare Steak N Shake to In-N-Out. That is blasphemous; totally profane.
The atmosphere is that of a dirty old diner, the burgers are alright, but the toppings are always wilted and flavorless. The milkshakes are a let down for the price.
Not to mention any time I've gone to either of the Steak N Shakes in Bloomington, they have screwed up my order, forgotten items, and taken FOREVER. What the hell are they doing back there?
Thats another thing, at In-N-Out you stand there and watch them cutting fresh potatoes, frying the burgs, putting them together assembly-line style from fresh ingredients, and even when its packed it only takes about 10 minutes to get food. STEAK N SHAKE is the complete opposite of this, I feel like something is going on back there they don't want me to know about, and even the people, not to mention the kitchen, seem dirty and unhappy.
NEVER AGAIN. (I miss In-N-Out)
I do not eat fast food very often, but happened to have coupons for buy one get one free milkshakes. The milkshakes of choice were of two different categories (one holiday, one regular) and so only applied to two separate coupons. To our delight, the manager was very pleasant and humorous about the situation, and made our night by making the two milkshakes we both really wanted! I am very pleased that this small exception left us two very happy customers.
Review Source:This particular SnS has gotten my order wrong many times at the drive thru. Me and my girlfriend were forgotten about inside after we placed our order. They never brought our food. Eventually, they gave it to is for free.
SnS is always delicious, but the service here is subpar.
I've been to In n Out a few times and SnS a lot. The decor is similar and they serve burgers. (In n Out is more like Five Guys)
I really had a great meal. Â I had a burger and fries for 4 bucks. It wasn't A LOT of food but definitely enough and with a great shake I left happy and full. The service was topnotch and the atmosphere was nostalgic and fun. I would compare it to Johnny Rockets but less commercial feeling. I would definitely go back.
Review Source:Coming for Cali , I also agree with Jenny that this is the In'N'Out for essentially the Midwest. The under 4 dollar meals are spectacular especially for us, poor college students. It's so convenient and basically open whenever we need a fix. The shakes are pretty good too. I, myself, prefer the berry strawberry shake to go along with my under four dollar double cheeseburger or something.
This place is a favorite.
This review is for the Stake and Shake by the mall, not all of them (which are not just in Indiana by the way). This one sucks. One time it took 40 minutes to get two milkshakes. The have put the wrong stuff, or brought me the wrong stuff every time except once. Yes, only one time did I get what I ordered! Also, crazy George works there, and he's a nut! I work right by here, but never go anymore because they suck so bad. It's too bad too, because the food is not bad. The frisco melt is pretty decent.
Review Source:Steak and Shake is the In'N'Out for Indiana (if you're Californian, you'll know what I mean =P). The greasy Frisco and Patty melt is their trademark entree. The sauce is just so good, even after 5 years, it's still the same. Open 24hours, dine in and drive thro, college students need this other than just regular Denny's. Their skinny french fries was great too. I got to Bloomington so late and my choice was either this or Denny's. The choice is pretty darn obvious, Steak n Shake of course!
Parking was almost a havoc during graduation time, it seems like everyone was eating there even at 2am, so I went to the drive thro, 5 mins later my food were ready and that sandwich just melt in my mouth...Yumm....
Too bad I had no space for the Milkshake, if not, I would have ordered it! Just a bump up to 5 stars cause this joint is just a trademark for IU and it's doing me good!!!
steak and shake is to indiana, what mcdonald's is to...the rest of the world. Â it's fast, it's greasy, it's good....and it's great for those late night visits when partying in this quaint college town. Â the fish sandwiches are pretty decent, but it's their shakes that push it to the 3-star marker. Â if you're ever in bloomington, stop by the big, black and white sign and order some grub....and be sure to order a pop to wash it all down.

Ubiquitous in Indiana, Steak and Shake is consistent, and tasty, but has ungodly amounts of fat, and is just not healthy in general. The service is generally pretty good, and being open 24 hrs is a definite plus. Basically what I'm saying is that it's great drunk food. Just make sure you have a DD because there's no location close enough to the places you get drunk at.
