It seems like a lot of meat. Would anyone here attempt something like this?

That is no longer appetizing. Something about that cheese oozing down the side is disgusting. I'm getting old.

Hey it posted. Well what do ya know.

Steak and Shake is one of the worst burgers you can have. Denny's quality.

Steak and Shake is not terrible but its not really a top choice for me. At any rate I agree I am too old for the trying to force a humongous burger thing.

It’s a post hockey meal for us out her from time to time as not many options after 11pm on a Sunday night. It’s fine for what it is but I’m generally starving after a game.

I had one of these at Replay Andersonville on Sunday. It was glorious.

Double Smashed Burger
Double patty of grass-fed ground beef, applewood smoked bacon, american cheese, caramelized onions, fresh tomato, arugula lettuce and fried dill pickles on a soft buttery bun

Steak and Shake patties are small. I could eat that 7 x 7 without a problem

Has anyone been to the Steak'n Shake on Halsted by UIC yet?

edit...not getting good reviews...

Save your money, time, or eat better burgers elsewhere! If I can give this place 0 stars, I would. I love steak and shake, but this place is not that. It tastes like McDonalds disguised as Steak and Shake...maybe even worse. The wait time on food is fine, but I just wish the food was good. The meat patty was not even a patty. It was a thin piece of salty burnt ground beef. The bread and fries were the exact same ones from McDonalds. And the shake, which is supposed to be the best part, was way too thick and just not good. Not to mention the service. Don't hire people that talk to customers with attitude.
We asked for water cups and they said they don't do that here...pretty sure it's a law to have water cups if you sell alcohol. It's ok if you don't have water cups, but the attitude from her response was just rude and ridiculous.
The REAL Stake and Shake would have a GOOD BURGER, a GOOD SHAKE, and GOOD SERVICE.

The joke is that McDonalds is always better than Steak and Shake.

That's a stupid review. I like the burgers at S&S, but saying their fries are similar to McDonals would be giving S&S fries the greatest compliment they have ever received. They are terrible and basically clones of Jay's shoestring potatoes.

Only thing I find edible at S&S are the burgers, specifically the Frisco melt. Not even a fan of the shakes.

Pass by it frequently but haven't gone in. It took them a long time to get up and running and it doesn't have the look of a normal Steak and Shake.

My perspective: why would I go to Steak and Shake when Jimmy's is one block away serving up a better tasting, faster and less expensive burger and is a Chicago classic. Jimmy's has people at the window at every hour of the day for a reason. I drive by it late night on the expressway on Christmas Eve and there are people at the window

The type of people that go to Chipotle regularly are IMU. Need I say more?

And it is stupid to compare what Chipotle offers to what you find at a taqueria or Mexican sit down. I don't go to Chipotle when I want arrachera and I didn't go to Tacos Erendira (RIP) when i wanted a burrito bowl.

Your simple mind cannot grasp that a type of cuisine can be done in a large variety of ways.

I ASSUME you'd like Chipotle if they offered a cocoa mole.

One of the best things I can say for Steak and Shake is I was surprised to learn years ago the one across a hotel from me was open for breakfast. They had good stuff.

What can you get at Chipotle that you can't get done much better at an authentic joint? Pretty sure they can make a burrito bowl or at leats give you a burrito that you could then open up and dump into a bowl if that was your choosing.

Yeah I am not some guy looking to argue with IMU but I think I said before if I still lived in Chicago I would never choose Chipolte over a private little joint.

No man has ever ordered a burrito bowl.

And while we're on the subject, let's just call a burrito bowl what it actually is: a salad.

Don't get me wrong Mike, Chipotle has a place. Its not terrible (there's a ringing endorsement), and there are times where convenience trumps everything. Unless I had a gift card or a freebie, I would never seek out a Chipotle.
