Steak 'n Shake Poor management, bad attitudes, poor food service...

The store in chattanooga tennessee at hamilton place is terrrible. We went there on the 26th of february and that will be our lasttime. The kid/punk who was suppose to be a manager was so disrespectful to me an my husband. We ordered simple there was enough help on that front line and our milkshakes was made and set on the counter was luke warm, melted . Our burgers was cold and our fries was wilted/cold as well. There was about 10 hamburgers laying on top of each other why because no one would be a teamplayer and help each other out. We ask to see manager the kid was in his car just nonchalant not a care in the world while his store is dying inside. And customers wanting their food everywhere. There was a older gray long haired doing her best that is all she could do with no help. You corporate better get it together or you will be out of business. Custoers want good food hot food great servive but it will not happen in this certain store. I will never be back the kid/.Punk has a lot of training to go through. I hope you all consider looking in to this also out of alot of stuff. Just pop in you will see for yourself.

Desired outcome: MAYBE SOMEONE WILL CALL ME MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ANYWAY MAYBE LIKE YOU CARE.

I am an employee for Steak 'n Shake and I gotten hurt twice (one on December 30, 2021, and one on January 15, 2022). The first incident, there was a customer, she claimed she was missing some items and I went to give her an extra side fries, she pushed the fries against my hand, and hurt my wrist. The second incident, a worker was drunk, and he ended up...

I can't believe how downhill your company has gone. First a high increase in price, kisocks, and sad when the piece of cheese was thicker than the burger (if that is what you call it). The buns are smaller and 1/3 the amount of fries. So sad. Sorry but I will no longer go to your place again. I have never been so disappointed. Janice Angleton [protected]@hotmail.com

Steak 'n Shake The wait time for only a milkshake

I waited for a long time at the restaurant for a door dash pickup. All I was picking up was a regular chocolate shake! There was hardly anybody in the restaurant and I still waited. I had to ask the hostess/ server if someone was working on the order. Not very customer service oriented. The Chefs were busting their [censored] preparing other food. However, the shake makers seemed like they didn't want to be working at all.

My name is Carolyn Baldwin and my e-mail is :cbaldwin839@yahoo.com and I live at 839 Wabash Ave.. Zanesville, Ohio 43701

I received a $50 gift card from my co-workers when I retired in 2019...Due to Covid and Steak n Shake shutting down for that and then for remodeling I was unable to enjoy the benefits of this card. Finally found our Steak n Shake has re-opened and went there for dinner...much to my surprise, I soon realized that I had been charged $1.50 a month for 12 months because I did not use my card...How can I use my gift card when the restaurant is closed? Eighteen dollars charged for something that was not under my control seems a little excessive under the circumstances...I would seriously like a reply to this e-mail one way or another...BTW my phone number is [protected] My card number is: [protected] Pin #046

Steak 'n Shake Chile Mac

I got the food to go. The spaghetti was tough and rubbery, and whatever the meat is was just as rubbery. The food was horrible. I have to drive to another town, (Farmington, MO), to get this food. I'm 75 and live on a small SS budget, so cannot drive back to take it back, and could not afford to waste it. I tried to eat it anyway, but it was impossible. The food tasted like it had been soaking in a toilet. I am very upset about the waste of my money.
Date: Dec 23, 2021, 3:50 PM, Farmington, MO
I want my money refunded.

Desired outcome: refund and teach the cooks how to cook the food

I have a receipt from 11/10/21 which was denied a validation code because I had recently sent a survey in. The email message I received said only one survey per household per 14 days. This is not stated on your receipts. It only says the survey needs to be sent in within 7 days & expires in 30 days. There's nothing about limiting the number of surveys sent...

Steak 'n Shake Gift Card

On 11/14/21, I placed an order through the app for pick-up and selected gift card for payment. The order did not go through. Next, I ordered a second order and paid by debit card. This went through and I picked up the food.

There was no 1st order picked up. However, my gift card balance showed the first order was subtracted from the balance.

Resolution: The balance refunded back to my gift card from the 1st order. Fair is fair. No food - no payment.

Thanks,
Debbie Kresse

Desired outcome: Gift card refunded

Steak 'n Shake Service

To whom it concerns today (11/16/21). I decided to return to a Steak n shake location that me and many former residents stop going to in the town of Viera, Florida the manager Mark, a rather large gay guy was very rude and didn't care to listen to the complaint I tried to to him of his drive thru employee, whom balled up y change of dollars and basically dumped it in my ands so it could fall outside my car in drive thru long line lady behind me saw it .as I pick it up from cramped area unfortunately I'm parlayed I yell [censored]. The employee heard me. Going inside to tell the manager . He didn't care instead told me not o come back. Another employee offered to remake my order but laughing she made it very bad left out a lot of things. these teen are messing with the food. I knew something was wrong from the beginning when I ordered a 1 and said all the way and this girl stars asking me if I want this on it and that. What is it about all the way she doesn't understand? In fairness I had a problem with this same local before and the former manager was very professional this new manager looks like he's there to eat all the food get paid and do nothing. I went to another local miles away and ordered the same thing and it was great service. I hope you investigate this. Thank you

Today my family and I came to the drive through pick up window. I asked a question to the large black woman with a black mask (description of employee) as I don't know her name. The question was simply why are the straws like this? I asked because we were given a straw without paper wrapping. She said that "that's what we have right now if you don't like it...

Had dinner at the Steak n' shake in Clarksville on 5/4/21. My complaint is not about actions by any employees, they were always courteous and friendly. My complaint is about the "new" process of ordering meals and getting meals to the table. The automated ordering process is a pain in the butt to put it plainly. You have obvious eliminated all wait staff...

So the decision by Biglari to transform the elderly statesmen of burger joints into a drive-thru/kiosk concept is going to fail - badly. The whole idea behind Steak N Shake is a slightly slower pace for a better burger and shake.. anytime you try and morph a product or service into something it was not originally designed for it never ends well. Not sure...

Steak 'n Shake customer service

I would like to let you know how one of the employees at 4211 Conestoga in Springfield Ill. treated us at our last visit this evening we got there at 4:58and left at 5:18. We ordered off of the $3.99menu 3#10 dinners we got up to the window to pay she said it was $22.. I said we ordered the $3.99 meals off the sign she came back very smartly I didn't write the sign that's the price . Then said whatever when we said we didn't get the food and drove off. Then we went to the location on Dirksen parkway and the price for the same order was $13.14.
Thank you Karen Brown
