I live on the East Coast, so this was my first time eating at a Steak N Shake. Â I always see them along the highway when we're visiting family in Illinois but I had never tried it myself.
I had the Chili 5 Way, perfect comfort food for a cold Fall day. Â It's still fast food, but it was pretty tasty.
Steak N Shake itself is a midwest tradition. Thin flat burgers pressed into a grill, shakes, and thin fries deep fried until crunchy and hot. They also have hand dipped shakes that are light years better then anything you'll get at a fast food restaurant.
As for the Morton location... We eat there fairly regularly and service is generally good but when you have teen age waiters and waitresses you get your bad visits from time to time.
