We got there at 7:30 and waited to be seated for about 10 minutes then it took about another 45 minutes before our food and drinks were brought to us the meat was paper thin and dry as hell it was all disgusting and overall shameful that such a good place turned into a [censored] hole. The milkshakes were melted nobody came by saying how long it was gonna be and...

This is the second time in a week or so that 2 different drivers from postmates gave me an incomplete order, which leads me to obviously believe that the dublin employees are to blame both times. I believe they are sending out deliberately incomplete orders to passively dissuade people from ordering through courier services in the later hours. Its either...

The restaurant is in bad need of cleaning. No hairnets for any of the cooks. There were can and trash all at the front door outside. Also a big garbage bag full of old donuts. I'm guessing from Krispy Kreme a block down the road. Service is terrible at this location. And when did Steak N Shake start using plastic utensils?? Just really think this store should be looked into asap. Thanks

On 11 Jan 2020 at 11:25am I had the unfortunate pleasure of visiting this Steak n Shake and soon as you walk in the door there's water everywhere, I mean the ceiling was leaking really, really ban and the floor was soaked, with water continuously coming from the ceiling. I walk in a take seat because wanted my food to go. So I sit and sit and sit, so...

We used to visit this steak and shake several times a month. I've never written a complaint to a restaurant before now. The restaurant smells and is filthy. The light fixtures and ceiling vents are caked with dust and debris. The last few times we were there these are a few things that we witnessed: Employees off the clock hanging out by bar, while one...

I stood at the door to be seated for a while. When I finally got seated it took a while for anyone to come to my table and ask me my drink order. I end up ordering a extra cheeseburger at the end and I had to ask another waitress if my cheeseburger was ready. The waitress kept disappearing and people where waiting. It was only one waitress and she couldn't...

Yesterday I was going to stop in and have a quick bite. When I was entertaining the store, the front door had spit or vomit on it. So I had to go the bathroom before I sat down. Omg the bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned all year. The whole restaurant looked dirty and dingy, I left, I couldn't eat any food there. It was around 11:00 am. I will never eat there again. It's kinda sad, because I liked the shakes so much.

I arrived at 12:50 and was told no more orders are being taken inside so go to the drive through since my car was already in the drive through. I came in since there was no wait inside. The manger a woman told me they weren't taking orders inside. I was told to go inside at the drive through and when I came back inside I was met with rude and hostile...

Please provide this location with more emplyees. Went inside and was told that they only had one person cooking and one waitress. She said it would take at least an hour to get served. Decided to go next door to Olive Garden and 45 mins after I was done eating and I decided to go back to Steak and Shake drive thru for some shakes. It took 42 mins to finally get my shakes!

Went through drive through to order 7 by 7 was told I had to come inside. Went inside and ordered after long hard day of moving I could barely walk spent $14.90 and they did not include my fries with my order. They have one job to do and screwed it up. This isn't cheap fast food and there is no excuse for leaving food out of order. I was so tired I didn't...

Steak 'n Shake I did not receive the double steak cheeseburger.in addition to that my fries and chicken fingers were cold.

On Monday, December 23, 2019 at 2:10 pm, I placed an order with coupons for chicken fingers with fries and a double steak cheese burger with bacon and fries. I received the fries and chicken fingers, in which they were cold and no cheese burger. I called the store and was on hold for approximately 8 minutes after speaking with and employee. An employee advised me to return to the store with my receipt and I'll be given another sandwich. The employee did not identify himself. I also called corporate office and was on hold for 28 minutes and no one ever picked up. This is unacceptable. I've gotten food from Steak and Shake on numerous occasions. However, I've noticed this year that service has declined at Store No. 219 . I really would appreciate receiving hot food and my full order. Employees should be double checking bags as an effort to make sure that the order is complete. It an inconvenience to return to the store, especially when it is a 20 minute drive away from my house. ~Mz Pat

Two employees at this location shared a post on facebook, one being a manager who posted and the other an employee. On this post you can see that the manager wrote bi*ch on the sandwich of said employee. This is a terrible example that is being set by the management over at this location and both parties see nothing wrong with what was said and posted. If...

I've been to this location a couple of times. The first time I was there the latino lady was awesome food was great and she didn't even have help that night in the dining room. But everything was great. But when I get home and take off my clothes there's a bed bug on my shirt big and nasty... Called the next day to inform them.. So I go back 12/22/19...

The drive thru girl spilled a entire butterfinger milkshake in our car and we had to get out and clean the car and my dad off in the cold and rain and no one gave a crap about it and the food and everything was very below par. I asked for onion and had one onion slice on my burger and no one. They also forgot our 4 waters and made us late to our show we had...

Steak 'n Shake steak and shake app for android

My major complaint is with your app. As a rewards member, I used the app every time I dined at Steak and Shake. It was convenient, worked very well and earned me points towards free meals which I loved. However, since the app was updated it is completely worthless. It always fails to load on my Samsung phone. Always! All I ever see is a blank screen. I'm so mad about this I haven't gone back to any of your restaurants since and won't until you remedy this problem. Too bad too as I do enjoy your food, but I feel you are cheating me out of my rewards since I can't use the app. No rewards, no business from me.

Steak 'n Shake service and product

My mother and I went through the drive thru and ordered 3 burgers, 1 order if chicken strips, and 4 fries. Our total came out to be around $18. Finally we got our order after waiting around 10 minuets with only 2 cars in front of us. We checked our bags while driving off and noticed there was only 2 burgers and 4 fries. We parked and went inside to tell them and to get the rest of our order. As soon as we got in and told the lady we are missing some of our food, she immediately started yelling at us and saying if we don't have a receipt she can't help us. All we had was the tag on our bag with our order. We were not given a receipt at all. After I told her we paid $18. That's means we ordered 4 meal if they are each $4. She stormed off and came back with a different bag. She ripped the one from my hands and gave me the other one and said "I am so sorry.it was the wrong one" we checked that bag and it was still wrong. After that, she took each of the bags and dumbed them out and went through it all to get all the right things and put them in 1 bag. We got to the car and I checked it again before leaving, just to make sure again, and I ate a fry. That one was cold and hard. But I didn't bother. I live maybe 5 miles away, so my food would NOT have been cold yet. But ALL of my fries were cold and tasted old. Needless to say all of the burgers were destroyed and all over the place. There is another steak and shake in my home town and I will Probs just go there from now on. I am not impressed, actually I am very disappointed and will never go to that location again. The food was terrible. And the services was way worse. I've never been somewhere that was so disrespectful to me.

We waited for 25 minutes in the drive through tonight. Without moving. We wanted to leave. But there is a curb and flower bed blocking the way that I didn't want to have to ramp in my car. Had I known I would be waiting longer than I actually spent eating, we would have gone to one of the many other establishments right next door. We have stopped coming to...
