  Being from California this was my first time here, had it the day I arrived!  Food was pretty good, hot and fast!  Staff was very courteous and pleasant even late at night!

  I like this chain and its too bad we don't have it out East.  The burgers are satisfying, the shakes pretty darn good, the price is right, and you can't complain about their hours (they don't close!)
  
  I'd prolly give them 5 stars after a good night out!

  Someone once told me that Steak N Shake was the midwest equivalent of In 'N Out.  That person was horribly wrong.  
  
  I can understand the appeal of Steak N Shake.  Most if not all of them are 24- hours, you can get a meal for under $4, and it's a romantic place to take someone on a first date.  Ok, that last one is definitely not true, but the hours and price certainly have some drawing power.
  
  Sadly, the hours and price cannot fix the fact that the food here is subpar.  The burgers here are flavorless and dull.  I cannot stand their fries, as they are cut shoe string style.  I don't know what it is about shoe string cut fries, but they just don't do anything for me.  In the hierarchy of fries, they would be just below Hot 'N Now, or even Carl's Jr/Hardees.  
  
  The one saving grace is their shakes.  Throughout the year they have a "flavor of the month", to go along with your standard vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.  This month happens to be egg nog (bleeeech) which I passed on.  It is sad that a large milkshake costs as much as a whole meal in some cases, but I certainly derive more satisfaction from a shake, than I do any combo meal I have ever had.
  
  Overall- late nite dining options are few and far between, so this may be your only choice.  As for me,  I'd sooner eat a bowl of Ramen than go here for food (shakes not included).
  
  Chuck Norris Rating- The People's Elbow
  
  btw- Happy hour from 2pm-4pm M-F- all shakes/drinks are half off.
