On a recent trip down I-69 it was lunch time and we wanted to eat somewhere out of the ordinary, which led us to a not-entirely-unsubstantial drive off the expressway to Steak City Fish & Chicken....a name that confuses. It's called Steak City, but it has Fish and Chicken (please don't tell me I'm not the only one who was initially confused by this).
On our way there we speculated about what kind of place we were driving to, completely not expecting what we ended up at.
The website for Steak City Fish & Chicken is far more polished than the establishment itself. By the website and from photos online it appeared to be a brightly colored place with an awning out front. It's not like that at all now. It appears to be something that used to be a convenience store with a drive up window, which in a fashion is what it is now, but the awning has since been replaced with an add-on entry way and the entirety of the exterior is a dull, dingy grey.
The interior is half convenience store, half take-out kitchen. Above the counter is the two-panel menu. (photos included in review). There are A LOT of offerings, from burgers to nachos, tacos, wings, and fish, chicken & shrimp in a variety of combos. By default all meals come with fries (which you can opt out of for a reduced price). My wife and I both missed this when we ordered (not a big deal, actually).
Each line item is also accompanied by a 'cooking fee' which varies from 50¢ to $3.00. Not really sure what that's about, but I'm guessing it's a way to kind of build in a tip, since there is no option to tip that I saw when paying.
My wife ordered wings and I ordered chicken tacos. Since there are no seats we decided to peruse the convenience store area while we waited for our food. There is no beverage station, so any drink will have to come in can/bottle form from the coolers.
The service process was easy and, in fact, as minimal as possible. "What would you like to order?" "That'll be $xx.xx". That was it.
There are a number of coolers with mostly soft drinks, and quite a few not-entirely-stocked shelves with various non-perishables. We weren't surprised to see more than a few of the items well past their sell-by date.
About 12 minutes later and our food was ready. I grabbed a bottle of Faygo® out of a cooler and we went outside to eat in our car. There is not seating area outside, either.
At the end of the day, the food was AWESOME. My chicken tacos were very tasty, and my wife LOVED the wings. This is an odd/interesting place. The food was great, but the service and the establishment could use a little upkeep.

The food and service here are excellent! The staff is so friendly and the food is truly yummy. Even my picky kids, who usually refuse to eat anything, LOVED the food here! I’m so happy to have found such a great spot so close to our new home. We will definitely be back for more.

I ordered online, and it was worth the drive. Freshly made amazingly Flavorful. This place is a great find. Will definitely be back! We ordered the whiting, chicken tenders, cheeseburgers and pizza puffs. All of it was perfect.

Nope…. No…Nah… I’ve had this place twice now and both times my food was over cooked and not too fresh at all. If you’ve ever been to a Sharks, Dolphins, or JJ’s Fish & Chicken then you know what good chicken taste like. This is not at all edible in the least. Very rubbery texture. Please clean your establishment and maintain the parking lot better. It’s a safety hazard…
