Steak ‘n Shake Relaunches Drive-in Service In Nod To History

One of the things we are seeing more of during the pandemic is drive-in movie theaters and concepts. Steak ‘n Shake says they are bringing back drive-in service at restaurants across the United States in a throwback to an earlier era for the franchise.

“Today’s pandemic world has enabled us to revitalize the Drive-In experience with renewed purpose,” says Steve May, SVP, Steak ‘n Shake.

“Our modern version of the Drive-In not only reinforces those early days with delivery right to your car – but it also fits perfectly into today’s reality, offering our guests a way to enjoy dining out of the house while still protecting their family’s health.”

Effective immediately at Steak ‘n Shake locations across the country, customers can relive the experience of visiting a Steak ‘n Shake of yesteryear by pulling up to a parking spot denoted by signage evoking a 45 RPM record popularized in the fifties, then placing their order on an app.

A carhop will then deliver the order on a tray and attach it to an open car window for customers to enjoy in the safety of their car. Alternatively, outdoor picnic tables are available for guests who prefer to dine outside of their vehicles.

The burger chain also announced the return of their Cajun Burger for the month of August exclusively at the Car Hop.
