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.

Moreover, the Nutrition Facts also state calories from Fat at 430. We calculate 450 calories from 50 grams total fat (50 grams * 9 calories per gram 450 calories).

So, needless to say, something is amiss. I have tried to reach out to Steak ‘n Shake to resolve the issue and will provide an update when I receive additional information.

For purposes of this review, we use the nutritional information from Steak ‘n Shake’s detailed Nutrition Facts report and calculate calories per nutrient based on the quantity of each nutrient.
