I do not live in Springfield however, I am here a couple times a week for work. I love this place. The food is amazing. The staff is friendly. They remember to add ketchup to my order every single time without having to ask, I would give 10 stars if it would let me.

I went here on a Monday at 6:30. It was very busy. Our waitress was there in less than 5 minutes. The food was at our table in 10 minutes after ordering. I was very impressed with my experience here. One recommendation, turn the heat on. It was freezing in there.

As someone whos first experience with a stake and shake was the sit down kind. This one although being more on the fast food end of the spectrum of steak 'n shakes still maintains that sit down air inside without actually having the sit down wait times of table services. Perfectly fine for me but I wish where where more sit down variants around drive through is fast even at late nights and the food is solid quality, you cannot truly compare sit downs food to fast food as one has way more time to make it as good as possible but even so comparing the 2 styles back to back. Shakes are within a mild differents between them. While burgers and such are a little more rushes tasting with the fast food variant not exactly allowing for the maximum potential of the food. But even with that it's still better then a lot of fast food Burgers around

The drive thru takes a very long time but this is one of my favorite locations in town.

2025.12.07 This is the third week in a row that I have ordered online and picked up at the drive thru window. Each time the food was hot and "correct" (drinks made and handed to me at the time of arrival). I am super impressed with this service and want others to know . If you are busy try the "Order Online" Works great every time.

Okay, what world did I just step into that Steak and Shake has totally astonished me? 5 years ago I swore it off. I decided to give it a try tonight and I was extremely pleased. The Frisco Melt is just as I remembered. Those Tallow fries, wooh buddy, great choice. Chili was flavorful as always. The coke was CRISPY! And let’s talk about tha little seasoning packet and branded napkins, grade-A idea.
