NOTICE: We found inconsistencies with the data published by Steak ‘n Shake. When I navigated to the Garlic Double Steakburger using the online ordering system, the menu indicates that the cheeseburger has 810 total calories.

However, the nutritional guide provided by the restaurant states a total of 730 calories.
