This restaurant was reviewed in the July 2011 LVA; some of the information contained in the review may no longer be accurate. A lot of people are really passionate about this place. Our sports-betting man Fezzik, for example, calls it the “best restaurant in Las Vegas.” We don’t think it’s even the best in South Point, but it’s pretty good. It’s a sit-down restaurant where there’s often a line to get in. You’ll pick up on Steak & Shake’s Midwest origins via little touches like the seasonings (including clear pepper sauce) on the tables and the diner atmosphere. Prices are cheap, as well as a bit strange—a single burger with fries is $3.45, while a double or a triple is $3.99. That’s just 54¢ extra for one or two more patties. Basic strategy: order a triple. Fans of the hard-to-find 3-way and 5-way chili (spaghetti added) can get their fix here, and the menu also includes sandwiches, melts, and hot dogs with crazy toppings (slaw, guacamole, etc.). We tried a side of chili ($1.45) and it’s reminiscent of the Detroit Coney Island version. As for the burgers, they call them “steakburgers,” but they’re just regular hamburgers—the patties aren’t huge, so a triple is manageable. And the shakes are in the restaurant’s name for a reason. Be sure to get one. Service was pretty brutal, but all was forgiven when we saw the check: $26.78 for three.
