    Wife doesn’t like burgers, had never been to Steak n Shake. (Must be a Filipino thing because she cant’ cook 'em either.)

    First bite, “This is the burger I have been looking for!” She loved the seasoning so much she bought 2 bottles, $5 each.

    Forget what we paid, but it was on par with McDonalds, including the $5 tip. The restaurant itself and waitress kinda sucked, “Do you have coffee?” “We’re out.” So make some? This is a restaurant. Something else basic was out, I forget. But the point stands, a proper sit-down meal was the same cost as McDonalds, except delicious.

    And don’t start me on local Mexican dives and trucks. I can get 3 deluxe street tacos for $10, less than some of the gross combos at McDonalds. And that place is a little high!

      …is Steak n Shake considered a proper sit-down meal? Thats still fast food. Most of them have drive-thru’s.

        Yeah, weird in-between dining model. Still beats McDonald’s inside where they have purposefully run off dining customers in favor of drive thru.

        Still, way better food, brought to you and cleaned up, same price.
