Steak 'n' Shake

Website

I was home for Thanksgiving--Fort Myers, FL--God's waiting room.  Five Guys was a trek, so I decided to brave a Steak 'n' Shake with Happy Meal.  I was planning on choking down a miserable, fast-food shame and rage sandwich, but this turned out to be a damn fine cheeseburger.

I got the Double Steak Burger.  Pretty DARN good.

• Sweet, toasted, buttered bun
• Two razor thin patties of average quality beef.
• A nice crust from the griddle.
• The burger meat was pressed flat with a sizzling grilling weight. This achieved a crunchy sear on the uneven loosely formed patties.
• A dash of seasoning.  
• The cheese--American--melted perfectly on the drive home. 
• Fries...Meh.

This cheeseburger was satisfying as hell. It was a step below Five Guys in terms of value and quality of ingredients, but it also saved me a 5 mile drive, so it was a draw.  On the plus side, the gave Happy Meal some cool swag, so that kept him busy while we were awaiting our freshly cooked burgers.

BONUS--The Fort Myers, FL Steak 'n' Shake was open 24 hours.  Morbid obesity was tough to avoid.

Burger Review :  A damn, fine fast food burger--Want.
