This Steak and Shake is frequently crowded and you can run into 30 minute waits or so to be seated. Â We hit it around 5:30 pm and dodged the crowd. Â The server was very friendly and willing to offer suggestions or opinions on what to order.
I went with the Jalapeno Burger (our server's favorite) and a Smores shake. Â The burger was the typical tasty Steak and Shake burger and the peppers added a nice pop, but I was a bit disappointed that the Pepper Jack cheese was sparse and barely noticeable flavor-wise.
The Smores shake was... umm.. interesting. Â Pretty good, but still not sure how I feel about drinking graham crackers in my shake. Â Also the chocolate syrup was fairly thick and pooled at the bottom, and even with several stirring attempts, I had a hard time avoiding it plugging up the straw fairly often. Â Still.. kind good :)
Im not sure if you can get a full size triple burger and fries anywhere else for $4. Â Parking here is usually fine, and food gets to your table quickly. Â If only bacon cheese fries were part of the $4 deal. Â They are kind of needed though as the regular fries can get cold quickly due to there small size. Â The cheese adds a sort of a blanket layer of insulation, and the bacon adds extra deliciousness. Â Pretty much always satisfied with my trips to this Steak n Shake.
Review Source:Stopped in here on a recent road trip to Saint Louis. I ordered the Gaucamole Burger with Fries and a Mocha / Chocolate Side by Side Shake! This Place puts all other fast food chains to shame. Best burger I've ever had. The Fries were crispy and golden on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. My Shake came straight out of my dreams! Cold, rich, creamy, chocolatey, mocha-ie (not a word...i know). Just wonderful!!!!
They are wheelchair accessible. The staff was extremely friendly and the Mensroom was Spotless.
