Major burger chain and McDonalds rival makes huge menu shake-up - the item back by popular dem
A POPULAR fast-food joint has brought back a fan favorite - but only at participating stores.
After thousands of petitions, comments, and messages, Steak 'n Shake has added Chicken Fingers to its menu.
Last month, the company posted on its social media stating: “You asked. We listened” with a picture of its crispy chicken tenders and sauce.
Fans flooded the comments section with replies like: "Time to go back to Steak 'n Shake literally every day thanks babes."
Customers can now score the breaded and fried white-meat chicken strips with three pieces and dipping sauce for $5.49.
Plus, chicken finger eaters can make it a combo and grab the three-piece Chicken Fingers with a side of small fries and a regular drink for $7.99.

Customers also have the option to add on chicken fingers if three just isn’t enough.
Just note that all prices and availability will depend on the store and state as the item will only be for participating Steak 'n Shake locations nationwide.
STEAK 'N SHAKE NEWS
While the company is sparking joy with the chicken fingers, it's had a tough year.
The McDonald’s rival was forced to shut down 30 of its diners across the U.S. last year to avoid bankruptcy.

Back in 2018, stats reveal the diner had just over 620 Steak 'n Shake restaurants trading, yet that number is down to 506, Restaurant Business reported.
In February 2021, the chain avoided bankruptcy after shelling out more than $100million to pay outstanding debts, The Wall Street Journal reported.
To offset the loss, Steak 'n Shake will switch up its dining experience.
Chairman Sardar Biglari said in a letter: “The combination of labor-intensive, slow production and high-cost table service was a faulty business model.”
Instead, the company plans to transform the joint into “self-service.”
This means diners would order their food via a machine, rather than at the table - a feature inside the restaurant for decades.
OTHER FAST FOOD CHANGES
Recently, McDonald's opened a take-out-only test store in Texas last year.
Customers can order on their phones, at the drive-thru window, or at a digital kiosk inside.
Orders would be delivered on a conveyer belt, which will "serve customers faster and easier than ever before," said Max Carmona, senior director of global design and restaurant development at McDonald's.
The company plans to have a drive-thru lane specifically for pickup orders and a space inside dedicated to orders for delivery drivers.
Taco Bell is also making some massive changes.
The taco giant has redesigned its drive-thru experience with the model called Taco Bell Defy, which was built with four lanes in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
The futuristic layout includes digital check-in screens for mobile orders and two-way audio and video services so customers can easily communicate with employees.
The model utilized a vertical lift to deliver food from the second-floor window straight down to the cars below.
Taco Bell will start unveiling this updated design to stores across the nation soon.
