Looking to take on Denny’s, McDonald’s and every other kid on the late-night block, Steak ’n Shake has launched an audacious new AllNighter Menu available between midnight and 6 a.m. while also making its full breakfast menu available now from midnight to 11 a.m. (at participating locations, of course).

The attention grabber on the AllNighter Menu is the 7×7 Steakburger, a $7.77 tower of seven Steakburger patties alternating with seven slices of American cheese. While Steak ’n Shake’s menu calls the burger “The Ultimate Challenge,” nutritionists are likely to call it something different. The 7X7 weighs in at 1,330 calories (880 from meat), nearly double the 770 calories in Steak ’n Shake’s next highest burger, the Grilled Portobello ‘n Swiss Steakburger.

The 7×7 Steakburger also packs 98 grams of fat, 290 mg of cholesterol, 34 grams of carbohydrates and 4,490 mg of sodium. Over-the-top, stacked burgers are fairly common features at independent burger joints and smaller chains: BurgerBusiness.com recently broke the story about the nine-patty Triple Triple Burger joining the Jake’s Wayback Burgers menu on March 1. But major burger chains generally have avoided promoting more than triple-decker burgers.

Steak ’n Shake goes small as well as big on the AllNighter Menu. Specialty Shooter mini burgers are available in All American, Jalapeňo Crunch, Guacamole or Gorilla (grilled in mustard and topped with American cheese). The minis are priced (with fries) at $1.49 each or $4.99 for three. Other items are Buffalo or BBQ Chicken Fingers ($5.99); Nacho Fries ($4.99); Chili or Bacon Cheese Fries ($4.79).

Also on the late-night menu is an item that simultaneously appears on the breakfast menu: The $5.99 Steakburger Slinger Skillet has hash browns topped with Steak ’n Shake’s chili, two Steakburger patties, shredded cheese and two eggs. Need more? It comes with choice of buttermilk biscuit, toast or bagel.

The breakfast menu also has other $5.99 skillet dishes (Country Skillet, California Skillet, Portobello ‘n Sausage Skillet) that Steak ‘n Shake has added in the past year plus the recently added 99¢ Breakfast Tacos.

Rival diner concept Denny’s also used the AllNighter name with its 2009 introduction of a “Rockstar” late-night menu. It since has opened small-scale Denny’s AllNighter units on a few college campuses (including Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University and Auburn University in Alabama) via a deal with contracting giant Compass Group and its units Bon Appetit and Chartwells.

IHOP, another major all-night diner chain, is focused on its new Griddle Melts breakfast sandwiches and its “Everything you love about breakfast” marketing campaign, which signals that it’s not attacking late-night business.

As BurgerBusiness.com reported last month, McDonald’s is testing a compromise late-night menu in Rockford, Ill. The test menu combines “best of” elements of both lunch and breakfast menus, offered between midnight and 4 a.m. (after which units go breakfast-only). It’s one possible solution to extending McDonald’s breakfast hours.

Arteries, heart attacks, diarrhea, calories etc.

That seven patty burger looks amazing though. I wish we had a Steak 'N Shake here. All we have are Freddy's.

 

[Omegasquash]

That's pretty big.

 

[Clydefrog]

I just lost my appetite

 

[Rubbish King]

One day I will go to America and visit all of these restaurants, it will be glorious

 

[Exterminieren]

Christ, even in the shopped menu picture, that still looks like the least appetising piece of food to ever be made.

 

[codhand]

and now i miss the midwest

As if that is bad thing. Love me some Freddy's steak burgers.

 

[Dishwalla]

A 7 patty cheeseburger sounds like just what I need when I'm keeling over drunk at 2 in the morning. Yum yum.

 

[dorkimoe]

those nacho things look amazing

also that burger has been around for awhile (at least at my steak n shake-then again it was founded here) I asked if anyone had ever done it and they said yeah

 

[Poindexter]

34 grams of carbs
98 grams of fat
78 grams of protein

I can actually have that and it wouldn't be that much out of my normal diet. I know what I'm getting this weekend!

Have you seen their Cheesy Cheddar Steakburger? ;P

 

[Mordeccai]

Saw this the other night when I went and thought it was a bit ridiculous. I just get the double steak burger with cheese and fries for four bucks. I like to go between 2-4 (usually AM...actually the past three years I think I've always gone at that time) for the half priced shakes. Otherwise the damn shake costs as much as my meal

 

[Snaku]

And here I am eating a tuna sammich.

 

[RM8]

How are you even supposed to eat those huge burgers? One bun, lots of patties. Yuck, what a mess.

 

[Kusagari]

Steak 'n Shake is the worst fast-food I've ever had.

 

[Davey Cakes]

A 7-patty burger served with french fries?

I don't know, man. Seems like a "one or the other" kind of thing. How could you eat a 7-patty burger and still have room for anything else?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Isn't there a place in California that sells 100 patty burgers?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I didn't know Steak n Shake was open all night. Good to hear.

 

[3N16MA]

Trying to top the quadruple bypass burger.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Have you seen their Cheesy Cheddar Steakburger? ;P

lol

 

[vagabondarts]

no thanks. Steak and Shake doesn't agree with me as it is, let alone 7x that.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

That's nothing.

 

[Kastrioti]

God bless America.

 

[8bit]

Have you seen their Cheesy Cheddar Steakburger? ;P

It looks as if it's weeping cheese tears.

 

[Count Dookkake]

This is not the 7 news I am looking for.

 

[chuckddd]

As if that is bad thing. Love me some Freddy's steak burgers.

They just opened a Freddy's here. The patty melt was really good.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Steak 'n Shake is the worst fast-food I've ever had.

I enjoyed it the single time I was there.

Granted, I was incredibly drunk.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Oh heck yes. Love the fast food wars.

 

[Vyrance]

Looks amazing. I usually don't go to Steak'n'Shake, but I may just have to try this

 

[ascii42]

That Steakburger Slinger sounds amazing.

 

[bucknuticus]

Steak 'n Shake is the worst fast-food I've ever had.

Shut yo mouth, patty melt at steak and shake is amazing.

 

[Szu]

Seven patties, how cute.

 

[xelios]

Their food is disgusting. No flavor.

 

[LyleLanley]

Does anyone ever order one of those ridiculous burgers besides just to say they did it? I can't imagine it actually being a good burger.

 

[Guevara]

I like Steak 'n Shake but I wouldn't order anything from that menu.

Their standard patty melt is pretty good.

 

[Mordeccai]

I enjoyed it the single time I was there.

Granted, I was incredibly drunk.

Really the only reason to go is if you're drunk or if nothing else is open at the hour and you absolutely need a shitty burger. Also the fries piss me off because they're so damn tiny, i feel like I have wooden prosthetic hands trying to pick those damn shoestring fries up. Cant even dip them in ketchup without getting it all over your fingers.

 

[Mully]

Where are the gyros and falafel?

 

[Mudkips]

Steak 'n Shake is the worst fast-food I've ever had.

There's your problem. Steak n' Shake isn't fast food. You have to eat it at the restaurant.
You get one double cheeseburger, fries, and a shake. Then you order a second burger after you finish your first one. You have to eat them when they're fresh and hot. They're shake shack burgers - thin patties of hashed steak. Amazing when fresh, disappointing 4 minutes later.

 

[Himynameischris]

Never heard of this place...and not a single place anywhere near me...oh well

 

[GraveRobberX]

Bring this shit to NYC

I want to die eating the 7 x 7 for $7.77

Nah.

There is one in NYC, Letterman did a show a month or so back where he grand opened one right next to the Ed Sullivan Theater.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

You will have gained 100 pounds and had a heart attack by the time you get home.

 

[Andrew.]

The pictures alone gave me diarrhea.

 

[LyleLanley]

The pictures alone gave me diarrhea.

You may want to get that checked out, that doesn't sound healthy at all.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Two patties is pushing it. 7x7 might as well be your swan song.

 

[freenudemacusers]

The pictures alone gave me diarrhea.

you just got double diarrhea'd.

 

[XenodudeX]

There's your problem. Steak n' Shake isn't fast food. You have to eat it at the restaurant.

Steak n Shakes down here in (Jacksonville) Florida has drive throughs.

 

[Surface of Me]

I like Steak N Shake, but their location is terrible in my town. They're right on the edge of it, next to a dying mall. I never have a real reason to go there, so it is just a pain to go there just for Steak N Shake.
