Steak ‘n Shake is continuing its goal of becoming a health-focused fast food restaurant by removing all microwaves from its locations within two months. The chain announced its new move on social media last week, saying, “We expect every unit to be microwave-free by April 15th. Quality restaurants don’t need microwaves. It’s part of our journey to improve food quality and use traditional methods of cooking only.” The company ended with, “Eat real food,” which Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently emphasized while promoting the country’s new food pyramid guidelines.

In 2025, it replaced seed oils with beef tallow for all fried menu items, saying it was both healthier and more flavorful. It also ditched traditional milk for A2 milk and swapped regular Coke-A-Cola for the real sugar variety that is sold in glass bottles. The company has gotten mixed reviews after its announcement, with many wondering why it ever used microwaves at all. But many people are just relieved to see more restaurants moving towards the goal of a healthier country. “I love you so much. best fries ever ,” one person wrote. “Wow.
