Steak 'n Shake cooking of food

Hello,

I have been a long time loyal company of Steak ‘n Shake and absolutely love this restaurant. However, this week I had an experience that was deeply disturbing. I used my lunch hour to go through the drive thru (which is extremely slow but well worth the wait). I bring my burger back to work to eat at my desk and find that one of the patties is extremely undercooked to the point that it made me uncomfortable to eat. I was forced to throw it away ain't with the $7 I spent on the meal. This type of incident is something that prevent me from returning even as a lifelong customer.

On the evening of July 23, 2019, I went to the Steak n Shake on Cobb Parkway. After waiting in line in the drive-through for about 20 min before placing my order, I got to the window and sat for about ten more mins. As I sat, an waited for someone to take my money I see and hear the employees cussing about guess that was in the dining room. I continued to...

I took my family in for our first time on 7/19/19 at 7:15. We spent 33.06 for a part of 4. I must say it was the most disappointing experience that I have ever had at a restaurant. I understand the waitresses are busy but our burgers barely had toppings and we had to wait 30 mins for two shakes therefore our sons didn't have a drink with their food. Not to...

Steak 'n Shake staff

We arrived at about 1:30 pm waited up front for about 5 minutes and wasnt even acknowledged so we sat ourselves waited at staff kept walking by finally asked for service and got cussed at because we sat ourselves.i know this is not the way you want to run a business and I don't appreciate being cussed at as a consumer. I will never walk into this place again unless your company makes sure these two are fired I know one was named Frankie and the other was a short chubby woman she actually is the one that cussed us out for sitting down Frankie was just a major smart [censored] and also the manager had no care in the world. So hopefully something gives and I may return to this business someday but for now there is no way I will return

Steak 'n Shake drive thru

I went to the steak and shake on 7/17/19 at 7:40pm. Sat at the ordering spot with only one car in front of me at the pickup window. No one ever said to go ahead and order. After 15 minutes and the car in front of me leaving I drive to the pickup window. No one manning the window and the woman I assumed was supposed to be manning the window is over in the corner looking as if she is texting on her phone. I drove away and went to another restaurant. I'm at this location (North St Rd 7 in Coral Springs Fl) at least once a week. I know it takes forever but this was ridiculous that I wasn't even acknowledged. Don't know if I will be back or anyone that asks my opinion of steak and shake will be back

Steak 'n Shake complete order screwed up

We stopped in At the Antioch Tennessee store on our way out of town and ordered 3 Frisco Burger Combos, Cookies and Cream Shake, a Oreo Mint Shake And a Coke. We get back on the highway to find out we have the wrong order. The thing that was right on the order was the Coke. The drive thru attendant repeated our order back to us to confirm the order. The turn around time set us back an hour and a half. The manager fixed the order. The Drive thru attendant that took our order was rude and acted like she did not want to be there. The Drive thru attendant was named Braja and her people skills need adjusting. My family eats at your Restaurants a lot. I spent $23 dollars on this visit. Will not frequent that location again. A Refund or a Gift card or some type of restitution would be appreciated

Steak 'n Shake steakburger

We ordered delivery for a treat. Thankfully my grandson's meal was good. Mine wasn't. I bit into a hard nasty patty. I didn't want to spoil it since it was his idea. It was horrible. I opened the bun to find a small, thin burnt piece of meat. It looked like they took 1/2 a patty, flattened it as much as possible to be larger than it was. It was about 2/3 of the size it should be and thin as a piece of paper, and cooked to the consistency of beef jerky. We always enjoy steak n shake; so I was very shocked. The store is located on Mt.Zion Pkwy in Jonesboro, GA. I just thought they should be aware.

Steak 'n Shake service

My husband and I and another couple went to steak n shake for supper tonight. It took almost an hour for us to get our orders which were not correct. Our milkshakes had to be made to go because they never brought them out, none of the milkshakes were correct, my husband didn't get his onion rings at all so we told them to take them off our bill. Our friends had the same issues. They were not that busy when we were there. We go there quite a lot but I am not sure after this if we will again.

I ordered 3 meals one of which was supposed to have bacon there was no bacon or tomatoe. I also ordered 2 milkshakes one of which was not frozen at all and was more like soup. They also did not offer a receipt. I was told there was no salads or blts when they are on all of the menus while I was trying to place my order. And everything was covered in excess grease.

7/17/19 Noon It took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive, and NO it was NOT busy! Broken stools at the counter. The atmosphere was very generic it could have been any other fast food place, not like other Steak N shakes I've been to, those had a real "diner" feel. Food was cold, 2 of the milkshakes we ordered never were brought to the table we had to go...

I placed an online order at 1:55, it told me it would be ready at 2:11. I got to the restaurant at 2:12 and they told me they never received an order. I left without food and they refused me a refund. They tried to explain to me that after 12am midnight they no longer accept online orders but I've ordered them before with no problem. She was very rude and...

Took my brother and sister in law out to dinner at 116th street in Fishers, Ind, on July 18, 2019. So disappointed in the food quality and temperature. Told the server, he took it back and brought it back and still luke warm. I believe they stuck in the microwave. It didn't work. Will not go back to this store again. Shame on Steak n Shake.

As a parent I have discussed a situation with a manager about one of their managers who works at night. This is my son's first job as a minor. My son has come home a few times about the manager using profanity, getting in his personal space and releasing him early from his shift before it ends without any explanation! Apparently this situation has not been...

Horrible service. Location is not clean. The table to the right of us had a hair in their food. Food was not cooked well. This was the worst steak and shake experience I have ever had. I'm very surprised this location is still in business. Our waitress also had no clue how to properly handle food. She would hold milkshakes against her chest and let her...

Not sure who is the manager of the Coral Springs store, but he should be fired. My party of 4 were seated and sat there for 40 minutes waiting for someone to come to our table, and it wasn't until we asked for a manager that we got service. Not even to ask what drinks we would like! My wife felt uncomfortable with order food after making our complaint...

Steak 'n Shake service

My boyfriend and I visited your Machesny Park Illinois location on 7/12. This was my very first time ever. I must say I was very very disappointed! I ordered a milk shake that was very good. But I specifically ordered it with no whipped cream, and it arrived with a lot of whipped cream on it! But we ordered our food, he ordered the butter burger and I order the bbq bacon burger. Well, we waited and waited, as we watched people that came in after is, not only get their good but finish and leave. And we watched 5 waitresses walk past the pick up window and pay ZERO attention to the food sitting there! We were finally able to get our waitress to come over. We asked about our food and she informed us that the ticket NEVER went in. and our food had not even been started! She then told us that she ordered it and they put a rush on it! So, I'm sure you can tell that I won't be going back there any time soon! What A awful experience! The food itself was OK, not the best by any means. I can be reached via email at [protected]@gmail.com

Steak 'n Shake everything

Called in order. They said it would be ready when we got their at 11:15 . Then we get their at 12 and we had to wait 30 minutes on the order to even get to the window. Employee said their was a big group inside but nobody was inside at all. Fries cold. Cooks wasn't wearing gloves. Just Awful. I just worked a 10 hour shift. And then had to wait in drive thru for over 30 mins. This is completly ridiculous. I'm a manager at dq so I know how the fast food industry is.

We sat down and waited for 15 minutes before someone helped us and that was after we asked if someone was going to help us. We saw 3 other tables get sat and have their drink and food order taken before us. We had bot been to a Steak n' Shake in a long time and we will not be coming back after this horrible horrible service! The only reason we stayed and...
