Steak ‘n Shake was founded in February 1934 in Normal, Illinois. Its founder, Gus Belt, pioneered the concept of premium burgers and milkshakes.


For over 85 years, the company’s name has been symbolic of its heritage. The word “steak” stood for STEAKBURGER. The term “shake” stood for hand-dipped MILK SHAKES. Gus was determined to serve his customers the finest burgers and shakes. To prove his point that his burgers were exceptionally prime, he would wheel in a barrel of steaks (including round, sirloin, and T-bones) and grind the meat into burgers right before the guests. Hence arose the origin of our famous slogan, “In Sight, It Must Be Right.”


After 85 years, we continue Steak n Shake’s tradition of serving the country’s best, freshest, and tastiest burgers and shakes.
