is Steak and Shake fast food?

Posted by Truman Mar 28 '11, 09:01

I gave up fast food for lent, so I am trying to figure out what is nearby to the client that I could eat at.

Responses:

Wikipedia says no - con_carne Mar 28, 09:18 4
- (But S and S is on the United States list if you scroll down. *shrug*) -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 09:24
- Oddly, Chipotle is on both Fast Food and Casual Dining. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:24
- Steak n Shake clearly does not belong in the same category as Applebees, CPK, Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Outback, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:20 1
  - That list is crap. Zaxby's is clearly fast food, even though they claim not to be. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:22
You have a waiter. No -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:11 4
- (this could also be the Quick Test :) ) -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:13
- see, this was my thought as well. -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 09:13 2
  - I think you have to go inside to eat though. If you get the food through the drive through it is fast food -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:15 1
    - *nods* -- nm - Truman Mar 28, 09:17
Quick Test: if it has a drivethrough it is fast food. -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:10 11
- Not every community is so automobile-bound (see NYC). Plenty of fast food restaurants do not have drive-throughs. -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 09:25

- but Five Guys doesn't have one. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 4
  - Stand aside, Venn. -- nm - DeMorgan Mar 28, 09:13
  - Did someone call my name? -- nm - Venn Diagram Man Mar 28, 09:12 1
    - Thank god you're here! -- nm - prayformojo Mar 28, 09:14
  - *paging Venn diagram man* -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:12
- Panera Bread has a drive through...would you call that fast food too then? -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:11 3
  - I said quick test, not definitive -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 09:12
  - not where I live. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 1
    - *shrugs* Pretty much all of our Bread Cos have them. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:28
You can go through a drive-through and get it quick, so I say yes. - Kim Pine Mar 28, 09:09 4
- I'd love to know what Steak n Shake you go to. I don't get anything quick at their drive thrus here. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 09:11 3
  - The one in Knoxville! (And it's usually 3-5 minutes or less.) -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 28, 09:19 1
    - unheard of. - Spawn Mar 28, 09:23
  - *ding* -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 09:11
Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 09:07
definitely. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:06
Yes. It's in the Five Guys realm: It's cooked to order so it's not really "fast," but it's "fast food." -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 09:05 7
- hmm, i guess i should have been more carefully / something when i did my lent thing - Truman Mar 28, 09:08 4
  - it's supposed to hurt, baby. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:11 2
    - i know. there isnt anything else close to this office to eat at then - Truman Mar 28, 09:16 1
      - I brown bag every day! -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:17
  - *thumbs up* -- nm - Buddy Jesus Eating At Five Guys Mar 28, 09:10
- according to wiki, fast food is food "that can be prepared and served very quickly." -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 09:06 1
  - Yeah, the quick test for me is "can you get your entire order within 10 minutes?" -- nm - Roger More Mar 28, 09:15
Pizza ain't -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 28, 09:02
