Steak N Shake - Sarasota

I ordered the Fresco Melt but they had closed when I arrived. Finally, they reopened and I was able to try it. It would be better if they had more butter on the bread to make the grilled cheese sandwich crispier. I ordered two, which I really liked, and both were perfect. I went back one more time before they closed, this time with my friend who lives next door. We ordered three children's cheeseburger meals, two with sprites, and two melts. My melt and my daughter's cheeseburgers were there, but my friend's melt and her son's burger were missing. They did receive their fries, but we were not compensated for the missing items. I will give them a higher rating when I return and everything is in order.

Dirtiness restaurant ever! the floors were dirty, only 2 people in the restaurant and we couldn't find a clean table. the seats are full of crumbs and greasy. the parts between the stands were smeared and evil. the bathroom was dirty. what happened to steak n steak? I was so rough that I am not back, heartbreaking to see a favorite life fun place so filthy.

I’ve been twice since they reopened. First time was perfect! Second time was also great, little slower wait time but waited maybe like 3-4 mins when I pulled around front. This place was shut down and I know many were upset, please give this establishment and many other food establishments a break during this time before posting a poor review as they are obviously trying to keep doors open.Better than any Steak ‘n Shake I went to back in Middle TN when I lived in Nashville.

June 27, 2022. Ate a double burger meal, came home, and in 30 minutes had gurgling cramping and immediate massive diarrhea. This is clearly bacterial infection from contaminated food from unsanitary conditions. I filed a report online with a Florida agency who did a July 1 inspection which found mold and slime on food prep surfaces, weak soap solutions at 0, and low water pressure for effective hand washing. I've eaten at this Steak n Shakes for 6 years, but never again. You would think after being shut down recently with many violations would have made them keep their place sanitary.

I don't go here a lot but I don't know why because there food never disappoints,I absolutely love there shakes and everything is very well put together,I definitely recommend getting it if your looking for just a simple meal and shake.
