About Steak n Shake
While Steak n Shake is known for its steakburgers and milkshakes, served in company run and franchised restaurants, customers of fast food chains like this run into the same handful of problems: orders handed over incomplete or made wrong, self service kiosks that mishandle loyalty codes, coupons or receipts, delivery app orders that are hard to get refunded once you have left, prices that differ between locations, dining rooms closed or hours cut without notice, and franchises that push complaints to head office while head office points back.
Check the bag before you drive away, since a refund afterwards is far more work than a fix at the window. Keep the receipt or digital order number, because the chain and any delivery platform will both ask for it. An order placed through a delivery app is that app’s contract, so start a refund there.
Kiosk lost the coupon or the loyalty code you scanned? Log it with us. We build the complaint and push it to the restaurant and the chain by email, social media and letter.

How do I reach Steak n Shake customer service?
The Steak n Shake customer service number in the US is 1-877-785-6745, and the contact section of steaknshake.com takes the same questions in writing. We hold no email address for the chain, so the web contact route is the one that leaves you with a record.
Have the restaurant address, the date and time of the visit and the receipt or digital order number in front of you: a complaint without those three things cannot be traced back to a shift or an order. Charged in full for an order handed over incomplete? Start your complaint here and we push it out by email, social media and a printed letter.
How do I get a refund from Steak n Shake?
For a counter, kiosk or drive thru order, the restaurant that made it issues the refund: go back with the receipt and ask for the manager on shift, because a fix at the window on the day beats a claim made a week later. Keep the receipt or the digital order number, since both the restaurant and the chain will ask for it before anything moves.
An order placed through DoorDash, Uber Eats or Grubhub is a contract with that app, not with Steak n Shake, so the refund for a missing or wrong delivery is requested in the app's own order history. Refund refused when the order was plainly wrong? We help you set out what you ordered, what arrived and what you paid in minutes, and we take the complaint to the restaurant and the chain.
How do I complain to Steak n Shake corporate?
Escalate to Steak n Shake corporate through the customer service number 1-877-785-6745 or the contact section of steaknshake.com once the restaurant itself has had a chance to fix the problem. Give the restaurant address, the date, the time and the order number in the first message, because a large share of locations are franchised and corporate can only route a complaint to the right owner when it knows which restaurant you mean.
Ask for a reference number and the name of whoever picks it up, then keep everything in one thread. A complaint filed through our complaint process supports that escalation: our AI keeps coaching you on what to reply, when to push again and how to take it higher.
How do I complain about a specific Steak n Shake location?
Write down the address, the date and the time of your visit before you do anything else, because complaints about one restaurant are usually handled by the franchise owner rather than by the chain. Raise it with the manager on shift while you are there, and follow up through Steak n Shake customer service if the answer is no answer at all.
For anything to do with food safety or hygiene, your county or state health department takes reports about a named restaurant directly. When you name the location in your complaint here, other customers of that same Steak n Shake can find your case, confirm it and add what happened on their visit.
