Midwestern Chain Officially Opens for Business in Paramus

Steak ‘n Shake, famous for the Original Steakburger and hand-dipped milk shakes, celebrated the grand opening of its first New Jersey restaurant on Thursday morning at Paramus Park Mall.

Located between the Old Navy and LL Bean entrances to the mall, the Midwestern restaurant chain displays a counter-service-only model with a simple menu consisting of only the freshest ingredients.

The restaurant held a VIP preview event of its menu earlier this week to a packed house of Bergen County residents.

The menu offers six different steakburgers, freshly made hand-cut fries, a regular steak frank and chili cheese steak frank, four classic milkshake flavors and seven speciality shakes. Two soft-drink machines offer over 200 varieties of regular and diet flavored soda.

Steak 'n Shake prices range from 1.99 up to $7 following their Midwestern roots and proudly display their dedication to not raising their prices at the front door.

Founded in February 1943 in Normal, Illinois by Gus Belt, Steak 'n Shake for the past 75 years has focused on providing 100% organic beef hamburgers that were ground into patties from a steak.
