the place is ok. Not in the class of In-n-out or Five Guys but I like it better than McDonalds, BK or Wendys.

I am not the least bit sad that this regional chain is confined to the Midwest.Originally posted by YOhio View PostJames Beard Award-winning food writer Josh Ozersky agrees with me about Steak and Shake.
I don't get it. The only worse burger that I've had was from that other midwestern nightmare--White Castle. Did I just live by the only really awful one on the planet?At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

I have been to White Castle and Steak and Shake. They really are not close or comparable. You would rate a McDonalds or BK burger ahead of Steak and Shake? That tells me all I need to know about your opinion on this. Steak and Shake is far from awesome, but it isn't near the bottom nor is it near the top of fast food burgers. It is firmly buried in mediocrity.Originally posted by ERCougar View PostI am not the least bit sad that this regional chain is confined to the Midwest.

McDonald's fries pwn Steak and Shake. Not even close. For that reason alone I'd take a double cheeseburger from McD's over Steak and Shake's mediocre burger and crappy fries.Originally posted by Flystripper View PostI have been to White Castle and Steak and Shake.

McDonald's fries pwn most fries. When I go to McDonald's I order a large fry and nothing else. I didn't hate Steak and Shake fries when I went there though. I have only been to the place twice so maybe my sample size is too small, but I like shoestring type fries because I like to grab about 5-6 fries per bite. In addition, Steak and Shake made their fries sufficiently crispy. I thought their fries were ok. The fries were nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. For me, fries come down to texture as much as taste. Since Steak and Shake has skinny cut, crispy fries I was ok with them.Originally posted by Surfah View PostMcDonald's fries pwn Steak and Shake.

When we came back from Germany, all I wanted was McDonald's fries. I can remember being so disappointed in them compared to what we got in Germany
That said - they are definately better than most fast food fries esp if you can get them fresh out of the frier
I may be small, but I'm slow.

See McDonald's fries are about us thinly cut as I like them. If I had my choice I'd prefer a big steak fry. But McDonald's sets the bar for fast food fries. Steak and Shake aren't even really shoe string. They're cut so thin they're more like a garnish.Originally posted by Flystripper View PostMcDonald's fries pwn most fries.
