Steak 'n Shake[edit | edit source]

Steak 'n Shake is a popular American fast food restaurant chain known for its steakburgers and milkshakes. Founded in 1934 in Normal, Illinois, the chain has since expanded to over 500 locations across the United States. This article provides a detailed overview of Steak 'n Shake, including its history, menu offerings, and notable features.

History[edit | edit source]

Steak 'n Shake was founded by Gus Belt in 1934. Originally, it started as a combination of a gas station and a chicken restaurant. However, Belt soon realized that his customers were more interested in his steakburgers than the chicken, prompting him to shift the focus of the business. The first Steak 'n Shake location, which still stands today, opened in Normal, Illinois.

Over the years, Steak 'n Shake has grown in popularity and expanded its presence across the United States. In 2008, the chain was acquired by Biglari Holdings Inc., a company led by entrepreneur Sardar Biglari. Under Biglari's leadership, Steak 'n Shake has continued to thrive and innovate in the fast food industry.

Menu[edit | edit source]

Steak 'n Shake is best known for its steakburgers, which are made from a blend of sirloin, round, and T-bone cuts of beef. The burgers are cooked to order and served on a toasted bun with various toppings and condiments. The menu also includes other burger options, such as the Western BBQ 'n Bacon Steakburger and the Guacamole Steakburger.

In addition to burgers, Steak 'n Shake offers a variety of other menu items. Their hand-dipped milkshakes are a fan favorite, available in classic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, as well as unique options like Nutella and Salted Caramel Pretzel. The restaurant also serves classic American diner fare, including hot dogs, chicken fingers, and chili.

Notable Features[edit | edit source]

One notable feature of Steak 'n Shake is its commitment to quality and freshness. The chain prides itself on using only the highest quality ingredients, including fresh, never frozen beef for its steakburgers. The burgers are prepared in an open kitchen, allowing customers to see their food being cooked.

Steak 'n Shake also offers a unique dining experience with its 24/7 service. Many locations are open around the clock, providing customers with the opportunity to enjoy their favorite meals at any time of the day or night. This makes Steak 'n Shake a popular choice for late-night cravings or early morning breakfast.
