Steak & Shake is kind of branded as a “nicer” chain restaurant. You can go in, sit with your friends, enjoy a friendly server, that kind of thing. It’s still basically a fast food place though, but one with a bit of extra frills. Their french fries are very unique, as they are very thin shoestring cut, a style that is basically not attempted much in restaurants. I dined in, so the fries were served on a dinner plate, and had light salting, with no seasoning. The extreme thinness of the fries ensured that they were above average in crispiness. Freshness wasn’t quite what you’d hope for from dining in at a place. I got two orders of the large fries, and the second plate was much fresher than the first. The price was $2.59 for one of the large plates of fries. A pretty good deal considering that each plate carried a substantial amount of fries.

Shoestring Fries:

Price: $2.59

Cut: Shoestring (very thin shoestring)

Salt: Light/Moderate

Seasoning: None

Other: Left plate (the less fresh one) had some crumb residue on the fries, usually this is from the oil being used too much and a lot of crumbs accumulating in the oil, and cooking onto the fries, ultimately being deposited on the fries and sticking post-removal.
