Steak 'n Shake, American restaurant chain in Midwest, United States
Steak 'n Shake is an American restaurant chain specializing in steakburgers and hand-dipped milkshakes. Locations feature counter seating, booths, and open kitchen designs where customers can watch the preparation.
The chain was founded in 1934 in Normal, Illinois, beginning in a converted gas station. Over time, the concept evolved into an established diner known for grinding meat in view of customers.
The restaurant's visible meat grinding station lets customers watch steakburgers being prepared right in front of them. This open preparation style remains a key part of how people experience dining at this chain.
The restaurant offers both dine-in seating and drive-through service at its locations. Visitors should check opening hours ahead of time, as they can vary by location.
Each location prepares steakburgers using a proprietary blend of specific meat cuts. Milkshakes are hand-dipped using real ice cream rather than mixes or concentrate.
