It was no waiting upon arrival at the Merrillville location. Haven't been here in years, that you place your own order and seat yourself now. The restaurant is clean and organized. The music plays at a good volume where you can still have a conversation at the table. It was wonderful to be greeted by Tiffany and her son with smiles.

Every time I go through the drive thru and hear Tiffany’s voice, I know all my food will be correct and fresh. She has taken care of us for a while now.

This used to be a great place to stop, sit down, and enjoy a meal. Now . . . it's cold, impersonal, and service is from a screen. Half the experience of dining out is the interaction with the staff. Not at Steak n Shake any longer. Just like other impersonal restaurants where YOU order at a screen, YOU pick up your food, and YOU clear your own table. I might as well save money and eat at home if I'm doing all but cooking. I go out to be served, not to wait on myself....
