This summer, it’s opening its first California drive-thru…right here in the Inland Empire!
Head to Steak ‘n Shake’s store locator and type in any Inland Empire zip code.
The closest location will be 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South (inside the South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa).
That will soon change.
Their first appearance was a huge success, so our friends from Where’s the Fire Gourmet Pizza are returning to Oak Hills Brewing Company.
The truck will be serving beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday (January 5) at the brewery, 12221 Poplar Street, Unit 3, Hesperia, just off Highway 395.
The brewery is open noon to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
