Burgers was decent. Very disappointed by shake. You would expect a good shake from a place with 'shake' in the name. Fries weren't great, either. Onion rings were on point though. Price was okay, given today's insane market. Certainly not a deal.

First time trying steak 'n shake and I was not disappointed! Young lady at the window was very nice despite being in what looked to be a rush, great service, good food. Recommend.
