Best Value Picks on the Menu
If you’re watching your budget, here’s where Steak ‘n Shake actually gives you the most for your money:
- Single Steakburger with Cheese ($6.49) — the cheapest way to get their signature steakburger taste without a combo markup.
- Chili 5-Way ($8.29) — a filling, diner-style meal that costs less than most combo options.
- Grilled Cheese Combo ($8.99) — the lowest-priced full combo on the current menu, good for a light meal.
- Additional Dipping Sauces ($0.60 each) — worth adding to a Combo instead of ordering a side sauce separately.
How Steak ‘n Shake Prices Compare
Compared to other diner-style chains, Steak ‘n Shake sits in the mid-range: burgers are priced close to Wendy’s or Culver’s, but the hand-dipped milkshakes ($5.99–$6.99) run slightly higher than fast-food competitors like McDonald’s or Sonic, reflecting the use of real ice cream rather than soft-serve.
About Steak ‘n Shake
In 1934, Gus Belt opened the first Steak ‘n Shake diner in Normal, Illinois. To prove the quality of his beef, he reportedly wheeled a barrel of T-bone steaks into the dining room and ground them in front of customers — a showmanship move that gave rise to the “Steakburger” and the brand’s motto, “In Sight It Must Be Right.”
What makes it popular:
100% Beef Steakburgers — premium steak cuts seared on a flat-top grill for crispy edges.
Hand-Dipped Milkshakes — made with real ice cream and milk, not soft-serve, for a noticeably thicker shake.
Thin, Crispy Fries — a signature side, often ordered alongside a shake for dipping.
Diner-Style Value — full combo meals that stay under $15 in most locations.
FAQs
Steak ‘n Shake moved toward a self-service, kiosk-based ordering model in recent years and closed several underperforming locations. The chain has since shifted focus to franchising and rebuilding through a leaner store model.
Its Original Steakburgers, made from a blend of premium beef cuts, and its hand-dipped milkshakes served with whipped cream and a cherry.
Steak ‘n Shake is a subsidiary of Biglari Holdings Inc. Sardar Biglari took control of the company in 2008 and currently serves as Chairman and CEO.
Most of the menu is indulgent diner food, but there are lighter options: grilled chicken sandwiches, garden salads, and vegetable soup for anyone watching calories.
Some locations still honor classic diner-style customizations (e.g., “animal style” toppings, extra grilled onions), though availability depends on the store and isn’t guaranteed chain-wide.
Regular hand-dipped shakes start at $5.99, with specialty flavors like Cotton Candy or Birthday Cake priced at $6.49–$6.99.
