+1 Steak & Shake Southport & I-65

[BiscuitNaBasket]

This past Sunday night I finished moving into my new home on the Southside of Indianapolis and went out to have a late night dinner with the girlfriend at midnight. We went to the Steak & Shake on Southport Rd and I-65 (West side of the bridge.) I'm OCing my Glock 19 in a leather pancake holster per usual and the waitress noticed it right away. She grabbed two menus and asked me what I was carrying. I replied and she said "good choice!" then I asked if she carries and she said that she does when not working.

So, right at the start of our dinner we were feeling really good about everything and our waitress being gun friendly really topped off the night for us when she brought out the check. She sat the check on the table and said "if you carry a firearm in my restaurant and don't shoot it up I'll take care of you." We looked at the check and our $25.00 dinner just got turned into $7.00.

I just want everyone to know about this and say that, if you get the chance, stop by that restaurant in the late evening and tip 'em well.

Wow! This is CRAZY cool! Was it the manager who served you? Or was it a standard waitress?

Well, that wouldn't have happened if you were CCing

I'm pretty sure she was a standard waitress. Not too sure about the "my restaurant" bit but she was nice enough that I didn't contest it.

Very cool ...almost makes me want to take a road trip!

A few OC meet-and-eats a week and the place would go broke!

I forget her name. Go find out for yourself!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I'd be careful here. Don't give any names, you could get her in trouble. She may not have been "authorized" to cut you such a deal.

Good point.

I hope you left a great tip!
I've been there several times, always good service, and never a concern about o.c.!


But I didn't get the noshootemup discount.

We most certainly did leave a nice tip.

Kind of reminding me of...

When I went to meet Glennster -04/15/11 (On INGO) way up north of 'Busco'.
We did a deal on a couple of long guns, and then had Brunch at a small diner there.
The waitress was very friendly (AND BIG) to The Glennster..I'm almost sure that he "Hooked Up" with her later?? HA HA...Bill.

 

[mrortega]

I hope she was the manager. An employee doesn't have the authority to cut that kind of deal. That's the same as stealing in my book.

 

[inccwchris]

If its who I am thinking of, then yes she does have the authority to make that kind of deal. Shes also married and her husband can out shoot most of the people I know.

Sorry to leave disappointing news.

Back when I played in a band, I hooked up with a Steak and Shake waitress somewhere in Ohio. Wow! Fond memories!

 

[Pinchaser]

I can walk to that S-n-S in decent weather. Yes, it is very gun friendly. Same with the Bob Evans next to it.

[BiscuitNaBasket]

What did you eat for $25.00 at SnS?????????

A whole lotta food, and then some to take home for breakfast since kitchenware was still in boxes.

 

[blamecharles]
