Steak ‘n Shake, a classic American brand, was founded in 1934 in Normal, Illinois by Gus Belt who pioneered the concept of premium burgers and milkshakes. For over 85 years, the company’s name has been symbolic of its heritage. The word steak stood for steakburger. The term shake stood for hand-dipped milkshakes. Gus was determined to serve his customers the finest burgers and shakes in the business. Today, Steak ‘n Shake remains the better burger leader, serving premium 100% beef steakburgers, hand-dipped milkshakes, thin crispy fries, and more. Steakburgers are made without preservatives or artificial ingredients, topped with fresh produce, and always hand-crafted to order.
Chain known for steakburgers & milkshakes offering a dinerlike space with retro flair.

Reviews
Food
We ordered Garlic Double Steakburgers, fries, and onion rings. The burgers were mouthwatering, cooked well, and hit the spot. I’ve always liked the thin shoestring fries, while she prefers the onion rings — and we both agreed, we always want a few more of those rings. I went with a peanut butter cup shake (fantastic), and she ordered a small Oreo Cookie shake that gave me some real FOMO after a taste. Food was hot, fresh, and exactly what Steak ’n Shake does best.
Service
Our drinks and food were delivered right to our table — a service touch you don’t always see in a fast-food setting. The rest of the staff we interacted with were friendly as well, which made the visit feel more like casual dining than quick service.
Atmosphere & Cleanliness
Here’s where the experience took a hit. While we easily found a seat, the dining area was due for a cleaning — trays needed clearing, and tables could have used a wipe-down. That’s understandable on a busy night, but the bigger issue is long-term upkeep. The ceiling vents are caked in dust, the tiles show years of neglect, and the seating is cracked and worn. It’s not just last night’s mess — it’s a need for deep cleaning and some basic repairs that have been overlooked for far too long.
It’s disappointing to see reviews from years back mentioning the same issues, especially when the fixes (new tiles, cleaning vents, replacing worn seating) could be done in a few hours of sales. It reflects poorly on management, not the staff.
Overall
Steak ’n Shake still delivers great burgers, shakes, and friendly service. But this location is overdue for some care from upper management. The food and people deserve a better setting than what they’re working with right now.
They’re definitely not the fastest fast food out there but I definitely think it’s worth a try.
UPDATE: It’s a horrible rainy day but had to be out and about. Drove thru to get a quick lunch. And once again I heard that friendly welcoming voice taking my order. Found out her name is Pam. Thank you Pam for bringing sunshine into this dreary day. My meal was hot, fresh and delicious!
