I did a great signing at Amalgam Comics & Coffee on Frankford and just across the street was this place. (Amalgam, btw, just started serving sandwiches. I had a wrap there, which was really good and fresh. Plus awesome iced tea!)
Anyhow, I needed some dinner before the big signing and interview, so I ran across to grab a quick burger. I gotta say, I wasn’t expecting much. It was only $5 and the place is a little small. It also had like six people in it for some reason. After a bit of a wait, I finally got my burger and I was blown away. Quality bread, perfectly cooked, delicious and it was huge! It looked like one of those big Bubba burgers. Man, it was good. Totally worth the wait.
I would love to go back and try a cheesesteak, but I didn’t want to ruin my shirt before a signing. There’s only picnic tables outside, so it’s more of a take out or quick stop place. A surprising gem, Steak N’ Shake. That whole area of Kensington is coming back in a big way. Hipsters, if you don’t already live there, take note.
I give Steak N’ Shake in Philadelphia, PA 7 out of 10 keggers.
