Steak n Shake Nutrition Update
Steak n Shake updated their online nutrition information this month (May 2017). An original double cheeseburger is now listed as 550 calories instead of 440. The grilled chicken sandwich and small fries also went up significantly, and there are probably others. Just thought everyone should know. :(
