Steak 'n Shake in Raleigh, North Carolina - Restaurant Review

When you first look at Steak 'n Shake Raleigh, NC, you are instantly taken back to a time removed, the '40's and the '50s. Although the outside looks nothing like the original Steak 'n Shake in Normal, Illinois, it is a good replica.

The open floor layout gives guests the opportunity to view all of the wall art as well as communicate to fellow patrons. Seating consists of booths and tables. Large parties of more than 4 will have difficulties sitting together. The final observation was Steak 'n Shake Raleigh, NC was open 24hours. This is perfect for the late night eater.

Wait Staff and Menu

The wait staff left me with mixed emotions. Without a doubt, they were charming yet overbearing. At times you can be overly pleasant. When this occurs, you appear to not be genuine with your concerns for the customers. The wait staff has to allow you to enjoy your meal.

The menu selection relies on fried and deep fried food, instead of offering healthy options. There are four salads on the menu to include Grilled Chicken, Apple Walnut, Southwest Grilled Chicken, and Fried Chicken salads.

Other menu selections at Steak 'n Shake Raleigh, NC consist of their signature Steakburgers, hand-dipped milk shakes, chicken sandwiches (fried and grilled), Signature Steak Franks, and a wide assortment of sides to compliment your meal.
