The burgers were great, the milkshake was great, the fries were tasty and the service was excellent. Tia Stafford, the general manager was exceptionally helpful with assisting us with our orders. The restaurant was very clean and very well maintained.

This steak 'n shake was different than any other I had been too. Obviously with covid, changes were made for efficiency and customer service. You now place your order on computers, and they call out your order number for you to pick up your food. The place was very quiet while we were there, and the food was great. Using the computer to order was easy, and you could customize the food just the way you want it. What lacked just a tad, was the friendly customer service you expect from a restaurant. Kinda felt like I was just order number 140. But I get it. All in all good food and a good experience

We started right here to celebrate a win with the kids. Always great shakes always great burgers but a few things made this visit special. No longer waiting at the counter for a server now they have self service kiosks. You can pay cash or card. Once your food is ready they will call your name. Our food was hot, fresh and perfect. Floors were Alittle dirty but that's what corporate gets for using white tile. Haha. I noticed outside were a few tables and umbrellas, that's nice.
