We were definitely shocked to return from vacation in early October and be greeted by the scene shown in the photo above.<br />Until recent years the staff (cooks and wait staff) had reasonable stability even knowing what we would order(including salad dressing and flavor of the milk shake). It seems that staff turnover and shortages really took hold when Sandy Springs started pushing for higher cost housing. Under such circumstances it would be hard for most of us to stay smiley and friendly.<br />Hope I'm wrong but I don't foresee Steak n' Shake being economically able to return to Sandy Springs.

Ive lived in Sandy Springs for 18 years. <br />In high school, around 1973/74, I applied at Steak N Shake at Atlantas first location on Buford Hwy. Just north of North Druid Hills on the east side of the street near the Hess gas station..<br />I applied to be a runner to run food out to the cars and really wanted the job since I was looking to buy a dark green used 72 Monte Carlo..<br />They said I had to cut my long hair if I wanted the job... Didn't cut my Hair, didn't get the job or the Monte Carlo but have been a customer ever sinceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06321208840586054669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-44555716188009532152018-10-06T10:36:39.763-04:002018-10-06T10:36:39.763-04:00Anyone notice the homeless camp out back?

Of course, you have to understand they aren't a "better burger", but I would take them over a gross cookout, culvers or bobbys cheeseburger. And when you go there, you know that you have to wait in the drive through because they cook to order on an flat top grill. Takes a little longer, but well worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-17910985944750613252018-09-30T10:51:29.686-04:002018-09-30T10:51:29.686-04:00"Sandy Springs need to lower the cost of livi..."Sandy Springs need to lower the cost of living!"<br /><br />LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-84097946781479049362018-09-29T03:25:55.693-04:002018-09-29T03:25:55.693-04:00I use to work there, wanted to relocate back to th...I use to work there, wanted to relocate back to that area but it's way too expensive, would love for it reopen but with new crew members and new managers and Sandy Springs need to lower the cost of living!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12684051576889467973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-19542538119733920352018-09-27T20:29:46.507-04:002018-09-27T20:29:46.507-04:00Well it was a good place when I lived there
