They've got terrific burgers, and now that they use beef Tallow for their fries, they are near the top.
Yum yum yum. Not much tp say besides one of the better fast food places in dayton.
Despite a seemingly modest 3.8-star rating, this Steak n Shake location appears to be a diamond in the rough, especially when considering recent improvements and a potential bias in older reviews. A recent online pickup order on Sunday, May 18th, around 6:30 PM, delivered an experience so unexpectedly positive it evoked powerful nostalgia.
For anyone who remembers Steak n Shake's golden age, this visit suggests a remarkable return to form. The quality, which I feel declined around 2017, seems to have been fully restored, or at least this particular establishment is setting an exceptionally high bar.
Here's a breakdown of the meal:
* Burger: 9.5/10 – A near-perfect patty that clearly hit all the right notes.
* Bun: 9.0/10 – A strong performance, complementing the burger well.
* Burger Toppings: 9.5/10 – Fresh and well-proportioned, enhancing the overall burger experience.
* Bacon on Burger: 7.5/10 – Solid, though perhaps the weakest link in an otherwise stellar burger.
* Fries in Beef Tallow: 10.0/10 – An absolute standout, achieving perfection in flavor and texture.
* Cheese Sauce: 8.5/10 – A very good accompaniment, adding a satisfying richness.
* Presentation and Packaging for To-Go Orders: 9.5/10 – Demonstrates a commitment to quality even for off-premise dining.
The undisputed champion of the order, however, was the Oreo and M&M Milkshake, scoring an astounding 19.5/10. I would hail this as the best fast-food milkshake in over a decade, for its exceptional presentation, ideal thickness, and outstanding flavor.
This Steak n Shake location has clearly rediscovered its stride, offering an experience that not only satisfies but deeply impresses. For anyone traveling to the Dayton Metro area, a return visit is highly recommended.
Great shakes & food, service was outstanding!
Fresh fries and delicious burger. This is one of the good ones. Service was quick.
I think they changed the receipt of their hamburgers. It didn't taste natural at all. More breaded like a meatloaf. Also they don't put any condiments in the bag or ask you if you want any. Very strange. The fries were tasteless too. It used to be a nice place.
What a great experience at this location!
Alaina working the drive thru was cheerful, helpful and efficient. Food was hot and as ordered. She even gave our dogs pup cups ❤️ will go out of our way to visit this store again!

This place doesn't give a damn about customer service. You have to order from a kiosk and only one of the kiosks take cash. What would it hurt to actually talk to your customer and take their order. Also, it was my first time trying the butter bun and it was just dripping with butter which was a total turn off. It's too bad they had to go no contact with their customers because I really liked most of the food.
The shakes are off the chain

A number of years ago we had a bad experience here, but since it had been a while, we decided to give it another go and we're very glad we did. The food has been hot and delicious every time we've been lately and it's become our go to spot for getting burgers. I highly recommend it!

I love Steak N Shake. But never had felt they had good service or a quality product. Never expected a good experience or timely experience at any Steak N Shake. Today was a great experience. The food was fresh and also arrived fast! It all was the best version of that item I had ever tried. Everything was next level. I was so impressed with this turnaround that I had to leave this review! Definitely recommended!
