Steak ‘n Shake

Kids eat free at times, but really any time is good as long as you can beat the crowds, My 7 & 9 year olds really like the kids menu (pigs in a blanket and grilled cheese) and the kids shakes. Hard to spend more than $ 20.

Awesome place to be on the weekend it is always crowded on Saturday night because of the free kids menu Krispy Kreme and Steak ‘n Shake are the two oldest places in Schererville Krispy Kreme was demolished 3 years ago.

The service here used to be acceptable, but within the past year or so it’s gotten horrendous. And I’m not even talking about on busy nights like Friday and Saturday when it’s absolutely packed. I mean even on nights when there’s like four tables with people.
Also within the past year, there was a time my friend and I couldn’t get shakes because they literally ran out of ice cream. Then the next time they ran out of M&M’s when I wanted an M&M shake. Then the time after that, they ran out of clean spoons. Conspiracy theorists are beginning to wonder if this place just doesn’t want me to ever have a shake again!
All that being said though, the price for the food is very reasonable, especially when you’re ballin’ on a budget. And aside from all the bad service I’ve experienced, the one server that’s never disappointed is the one named Lily.

Speedy and friendly service in the drive thru, the white chocolate milkshake is the greatest thing ever made yum yum. Got our order taken and got out of there under 5 minutes. Perfect fast food service.

Went here for dinner. Followed the server to a dirty table. Stood there until it was cleaned up. Ordered the guacamole steak burger and fries. Food was not great, burger and fries were cold. The only item was good was their cookie n crème shake. Would not be back.

Love the hamburgers, and all the shakes too. Yummy, I really love the salted carmel one…

This place has gone down hill ever since I moved last year. I am not sure what happened! Last I was there visiting Jan of 2015, I had never had so many issues in my life at this place, I was a regular. They messed up my order through the drive through (took 30 mins) to get my food, then I had to go in to get my right order took them another 30 mins to get my food. 2^nd time I was there when i visited few months ago I waited over 25 minutes to get a shake… The place was a mess and the floors had fries all over, gunk, bathrooms were gross I felt like this place hasn’t been cleaned in years. I know they had a new manager and must say they messed up this place BAD… fix your place up people. Never use to be this bad!

Was just in there Tuesday night around 6 pm. Service was horrible! Hostess sat us. 10 min later the waitress walked over, and asked us if we were seated first or if the table next to us was! Isn’t that your job?! We ordered our shakes. I am not exaggerating, she came back 25 min later with our shakes! No apology! Snails move faster… if you don’t want to wait 2 hours from start to finish… Go elsewhere

i really like it in there. the inside is always clean, and i like the way they have it set up like in the early 60s. i LOVE their fries cuz you get a lot for your money and their hamburgers are really good too, any kind but Mcdonalds are good. its always been clean when i was in there, but then i havent eaten in yet. and on the wait in the drivethru. if a person is in a hurry then they should just go inside and stop complaining about the wait! what do you expect? they Actually take time to make their food from scratch, they dont just warm up stuff and that all takes time, and its well worth the wait to me. if you dont have time to wait in line, then please go to a really fast food place like Mcdonalds, who just warm up cold burgers, they dont actually cook them, ok?

It’s quick and fresh. The staff is nice and friendly. It’s a place I come to once or twice a week. It’s much better than McDonald’s. I like watching the burgers get made when we walk in. The shakes are good especially if you come in during happy hour and ALL drinks including shakes are half off.
The only think I hate here is the floor isn’t the cleanest. But being open 24 hours it might be difficult to keep clean. Also the bathroom has a weird smell.

Went in for breakfast at 6 am and the host seated us at a table. We were the only ones in the diner and no one came to our table for about 15 minutes (not even for our drinks). The waiter was talking to the cook and another man at the counter. When the waiter finally came to our table we asked for a breakfast menu imstead of the afternoon menu. The waiter told us to wait a minute and when he returned he said the cook didn’t know how to cook breakfast. With it being 6 am and wanting breakfast we got up and left, but not after wasting almost 30 minutes of our morning.

You have no other option after midnight: P

Tired of regular fast-​food hamburgers? This is your place! I love the butterburger and shoestring fries with grilled onion. Milk shakes are always out of this world good.
After all that, however, if you choose to dine-​in, you will sit elbow-​to-​elbow with other parties (I’ve had folks join my table’s conversation). You might have salt and pepper on your table or you might not. The noise level can be deafening.
My recommendation is to hit the drive-​thru and run with your fabulous food!

Can’t beat the price for a decent burger, fries and shake! So much fresher than McD’s.

Small portion but a quick place to grab a very cheap lunch. ½ Monday — Friday shakes and every $ 8 you spend on the weekends kids eat free.

The food was good but the filthy dirty floors and sticky tables really were disgusting.

I never eat inside, but oh man their 5 dollar meal deals are hard to beat.
You can mix and match flavors in shakes, definitely a plus for us.
Expect greasy, artery clogging goodness, at least it’s good, so much better then 5 guys or Mcdonalds (opinion stated)
The interior, well, it’s dated and when we go the crowd seems uninviting due to sheer late night size and chaos. So never eat in.

I’ve been here several times and I admit as I hang my head in shame, it is usually after a night of drinking. The wait staff seems to get side tracked in the evening. The crowd is usually other drunks or high schoolers out for «coffee». I have seen all stereotypes here from Jocks to Punks, from Cheerleaders to Emo or artsy folks with some old people sprinkled in for a Midwest crazy late night sundae. I would get side tracked too. I’ve only been here once during the daytime and that was when the place first opened. Burgers are ok but I must say that I think the one I like is the most unhealthy sandwich ever made. The Frisco Melt is really the only thing I get if I’m getting a meal. Not too hot for their other menu items.
Honestly I like their skinny fries and I like the fact that when I get them there is little to no salt! I like to salt my own stuff if I feel like it. Usually I try not to add any because processed food already has a ton in there.
The SHAKES! Yes! This is the reason to come here! (If you are too drunk DO NOT get a shake, trust me)
Today I’m not drunk, I assure you. Late night Walmart run and I decided I needed a shake. Don’t judge! So I went through the drive-​thru. It took forever to order a shake and I think it is because it is late and the person might have been having issues. No worries. I got a side by side Chocolate and Strawberry shake and shared it with my hubby. Well… Kind of shared?
Their shakes are really tasty and they have many choices. I don’t know if they are really hand scooped but they sure taste better than anything I’ve gotten from other places with Drive-​thrus! There is one called Orange Freeze… If you like push pops try it! It is very good and is essentially a Orange Sherbet Shake. Yummy!

The vast majority of my experiences with this Steak ‘n’ Shake have been pretty positive, with good food and really reasonable prices. I’m not a fan of shoestring fries, but that is a stylistic choice of the chain as a whole rather than this individual location.
Really, the only complaint I have had is occasional issues with service. 4 out of 5 waiters are friendly and capable, but there are a few there who I try to avoid when possible. Some are just plain grumpy, one is basically entirely incompetent (and yet has been there for years).
Minor reservations aside, at least this location is far superior to the ones in Tinley Park and Frankfort. If you have a hankering for burgers for cheap, you can do a lot worse than this particular Steak ‘n’ Shake.

The staff at this steak N shake are so nice. My food was nice and hot my son really had a good time with his big and juicy western BBQ and bacon. With more bacon. Onion rings yummy yummy and the seasoned fries (salt and vinegar). Yummy again Please check them out. Over all we had a great time and really enjoy out food yes yes yes.
