I ordered a large unsweetened iced tea. They said they could only give me a medium because that's all they left. When I got home, took a drink, I instantly knew something was very wrong. I could taste bleach along with the tea. It made my throat sore and also upset my stomach. It is terrible. The restaurant is on airport road in Jackson, MI. I tried calling...

Steak 'n Shake The App and Gift Cards

I have been trying to order through the app for the past hour and can't get it to where I can use my gift card I was given. There isn't even an option for it. Of course the offices are closed so can't call for help and the email for support is just a bot sending the same message over and over again, no help at all.

Listen you all, could you please stop all the smashing of beef patties. Your just taking out the nutrients and flavor of your hamburgers. And it would be good if you'd just stop it. You may say "well we're a fast food restaurant" your not!!! You never were. Have to wait in line for 15 minutes at least. Get your [censored] together and hire white managers. Open a...

Steak 'n Shake Employee

Hello my name is Tyrone Curtis, I was hired at steak n shake in east Peoria around 3 weeks ago. I was supposed to been training when I started but no one was there to help me train. They would only show me a few steps everyday I worked. Sometimes I would go to work and they would let me go a hour in my shift. Monday September 21st, my manager (who is also my older brother)called me in saying there was a mandatory meeting . When I arrived I was the only one there and he fired me! He stated that it was because of my performance. While I had been working there had been no complaints of anything they had ever asked me to do. From customers to coworkers. I was told that the manager who fired me was only a shift manager and when I called to speak with the actual manager she stated " well if devante says your fired then you are fired". Could you please explain to me if this is the proper procedure to be let go, I'm just not understanding. I have never been in this predicament before!

After church went to Steak & Shake to use gift card. Placed order at drive thru window and took order home to eat with wife and niece. I got the pork/ hamburger and on the second bite realized something wasn't right and pulled what appeared to be a vinyl glove from my sandwich. I didn't eat anymore and neither did my wife or neice. I took it back to Steak ...

Order #[protected] I placed an online order of 2 double cheeseburgers, a kids mini corn dog meal, 1 large sweet tea, 1 regular unsweet tea and 1 regular coke. My husband picked up the food only to be told they lost our ONLINE order. I spent $4.28 for the 2 teas only to not get them. I will not go back to the steak n shake ever again. I would also like my refund back for the 2 teas I did not get.

I'm an Uber wars driver and I am being made to sit in line for drive thru to pick the Oder up. You need to come up with some way to address this. Twice it AHS taken me 30 min to get the order. I am trying to make money doing deliveries and it cst me money to sit in line and wait. I tried to talk to the manager and suggest a way to bring orders out to drivers but he was kind of rude and did not want to talk about it.

Steak 'n Shake Theft

Steak and shake Employee forced ran my Brother s debit card numbers, who passed away 14 months earlier. Ran it 8 times. Went through twice.
Have called steak and shake 8 times. No one has called back. Was promised They would.
That company doesnot care about customers or employees.
Its catching up with them, by all of the Store closings.
Whoever owns that franchise in Indy is not too business smart.

on Feb 22, 2020 while out shopping, I decided to take my daughter and grandson to the local Steak N Shake. Upon entry a nice young lady greeted and seated us, took our drink orders and gave us menus. It was at this time, I hear a very loud, rude female voice complaining about a male employee, Tyler, being an hour and a half late. I did find that the...

Manager no where to be seen, 16 dirty tables by the time I left. Staff running around yelling across the store. No body knew what to be doing. My server got my drink order said she would be back. Waited 10 minutes before she came back. Took my order, dropped off the food and never saw her again. No refills nothing. Yes they was busy but I used to be a...

Steak 'n Shake service of meal

on 2/4/2020, we went to Steak and Shake in Spring Hill, FL. The restaurant was admitteldy shorthanded and very busy. H owever the service we received was rather shoddy. After waiting a considerable timem to be seated, it was another wait before the waitress, Gina, came to ask about out order. We ordered the special, double steakburger, small milkshake, added a $1 order of fries, and a classic milkshake, Not large, not complicated. Gina eventually brought 2 glasses of water. Then quite some time later, she did say our order should be out soon. By this time we had been there 45 minutes with only 2 glasses of water to show for it. Eventually she did bring our the food. Just the food, no shakes, no silverware or napkins. They arrived later. In the meantime, 2 customers across from us who had been seated much later, had their food, their complete order the first time. We asked twice more for our shakes. as well as ketchup we had requested earlier. She finally brought one shake. I had to ask again for my shake.it did show up later. She was an extremely inefficient although apologetic waitress. The food was disappointing at best. Will we go back ? I doubt it.

Let me begin by saying I tried to order online but the website did not show the special so I had to call in the order. When we got to the drive thru they told us we had to come inside to get the order. I have a cold & did not want to get out of my car & go inside, but I had no choice. We walked into the restaurant & saw 2 kids size milkshakes in the...

I grew up in Indiana and lived steak and shake. When I moved to Texas I was disappointed that I would have to wait 30 years to get to Texas. But your location in league city is the worst experience food service the store itself was nasty and employees were rude. I've been to this location 3 times. Everytime it gets worst. Your management needs changed or...
