The Take
Order the double steakburger with tallow fries and skip the bun if you must eat here. Steak 'n Shake earns a 32 Slop Score because the new grass-fed beef and actual tallow fries are the only based moves on an otherwise forgettable menu.
Everything else stays trapped in the same cheap-bun, syrupy-shake rut that made the chain a nostalgia trap for decades.
The Verdict
The grass-fed switch and tallow fries are real improvements worth a single visit if you're already nearby. Everything else is the same mid-chain slop it always was.
Double steakburger with tallow fries, hold the bun. 32 Slop Score.
Common Questions
Is Steak 'n Shake healthy?
No. Grass-fed beef helps but the buns and shakes drag it back to average fast food territory.
Does Steak 'n Shake use seed oils?
Only on non-tallow items. Fries are the exception worth ordering.
Are the shakes worth ordering at Steak 'n Shake?
No. They remain the same mid-tier industrial mix as before the beef upgrade.
