Dear Steak N’ Shake,
You’ve been there for me through it all. My chubby pre-teen phase meals, post-sports game dinners and late night instances of debauchery with friends were all spent in your diner styled establishment. The incredible nostalgia you bring me, along with your cheap, yet delicious, food has me loyal AF to your restaurant chain. I’m just going to take a moment to recognize some of my favorite things about you.
If I’m ever in an unfamiliar place, see a Steak n’ Shake and remember that it is currently half-price shake Happy Hour, you best believe I will find my way to you. Your shakes are top notch, and there is a flavor for every mood I could ever be in. Steak N’ Shake always keeps things changing with the seasonal flavors too, so you could get a shake every day and never get bored (not that you should).
While your shakes are to die for, your food is what really has me hooked. The frisco melt, the most under-rated food item of all time, has never let me down. The frisco sauce? Bomb. The toasted bread? Bomb. The steak burger patty? Bomb. Look at this photo taken on my iPhone 7 (yeah I’m fancy), and try to tell me your mouth isn’t watering.
Next, I need to acknowledge your fries. Anyone who says that McDonald’s has the best fries ever is a damn liar, because Steak N’ Shake’s shoestring fries are the GOAT. The fries are good on their own, but if you add steak burger seasoning and dip them in a side of frisco sauce, your life will be changed.
A true hidden gem at Steak N’ Shake is their breakfast. If you’ve never had Steak N’ Shake breakfast, you need to get yourself there immediately and try it. They have all you can eat pancakes for $3.99, and they are heavenly.
Lastly, I’m just going to thank you for your prices. As a college student, I’m eternally broke, so you’re about all I can afford. Strangely, I’m okay with that, because your food is delicious.
Steak N’ Shake, I love you. You’re one of the few constants in my life, and I know you’ll never let me down. Now, please just open a location in Auburn, Alabama.
Love,
Your biggest fan.
