Steak 'N Shake coming to NJ

Someone from church was telling me that a new restaurant has just opened at the Paramus Park Mall and it is called Steak 'N Shake. I was like really..! Steak 'N Shake used to be everywhere in the Midwest and South but not in the Northeast. When I moved to New Jersey from Illinois in 2000, I was searching for it and found none here. Somehow, there is no Denny's here as well.  

As I was searching for Steak 'N Shake location yesterday, I found out they already opened a store near the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York back in January of this year. Wow...! How could I miss that?

Serene and I miss Steak N' Shake a lot. It particularly reminds me of the good memories as I used to intern at Steak 'N Shake at Carbondale, Illinois. Don't be deceived by the name as it is not a steak joint. It uses steak meat to make the burger patties hence it is called Steak 'N Shake. The shakes are to die for.

Anyway, we checked out the new place in Paramus Park Mall and it was not what I expected as it is not the classic Steak 'N Shake concept with its own premise and drive through. Its menu is also the tone down version without the Genuine Chili (spaghetti noodle with chili meat) and Classic Melt (sandwiches) except Frisco Melt. 

After viewing the menu we decided to pass as it was not worth staying in line for the disappointing offering.
