“Hands down my favorite home town place to eat. This is the place you go for good ole fashion customer service and food ole fashion food made right. Never been disappointed or left hungry. Also definitely try the shakes. Best in town. Also if eating inside is not your thing, they have an outdoor area also. This place is what I need when I want to feel like I'm back in the good ole days“

“Updated after 7 years!! **Outstanding Service and Great Value at Steak 'n Shake in Lebanon, MO!**

I write a lot of reviews, but every now and then, a place stands out enough that it deserves extra recognition. This Steak 'n Shake in Lebanon is one of those places. From the moment I walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. It’s not often you see a team that’s not only efficient but also genuinely friendly and welcoming. The employees here actually seem to enjoy their jobs, and that positive energy makes a difference. My server was attentive, kept my drink filled, and made sure everything was just right without being intrusive.

As for the food, Steak 'n Shake has always been known for serving quality meals at affordable prices, and this location absolutely delivers. The steakburgers were fresh, hot, and cooked perfectly—exactly what you hope for when you stop in. And for the price? You really can’t beat it. With so many fast food places raising prices without improving quality, it’s refreshing to see a restaurant that still focuses on value.

Of course, no visit to Steak 'n Shake is complete without a shake, and mine was thick, creamy, and full of flavor. If you’re in the Lebanon area and want a great meal with top-notch service, this location is well worth the stop. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Connie great waitress great food“

“Food and service was just ok. Got a tea was charged 2.50 . It was so weak tasted like water. So got a Dr.Peper and was charged 2.99 for it. That is so overcharged I think that is wrong. One charge should have been enough. Told the floor Manger, she said o well. That's the way it is.“

“We live 1 hour away and wanted to try something new. So we made the trip here. Service was very slow, we got there at 4 pm. It wasn't that busy. Once we got to our seats I could tell there was heavy cigarette smoke in the air, my asthma did not like it. That was one major thing that would keep me from coming back. Our waitress also smelled of heavy cigarette smoke. The prime rib was really good, with lots of flavor. The mashed potatoes with white gravy were really good. It seemed they put gravy in the bowl then put mashed potatoes and then covered it with more gravy! So it was really good, not just a tiny amount of gravy like most places. The mac n cheese was okay but really kinda dry and stuck together not a lot of cheese. The appetizers sampler was really good. Fried Mushrooms ans cheese curds were really good. The cowboy candy was pretty good as well. not sure what the steak tips was marinated in what the dipping sauce was but it tasted good.“

“A big shout out to Will and Rose at the Waffle House in Lebanon, MO. What an awesome couple. We were having a very long night and not only did they cheer us up, they helped us find a hotel. They are great people! Thank you both for everything!!“

“their shrimp and fish is great! Don't care much for the tea“
