Steak and Shake is a very Friendly place and good food. Do not know their Politics. When traveling always try and find one.
I am also impressed by Steak and Shake. Particularly the fact that you see so many clean, smiling, hard-working young people employed there. Rare to see such a work ethic among youngsters these days.
Cracker Barrel used to not hire gays, but they caved under pressure tactics similar to those being used on Chick-Fil-A.
Had a family member working for Dennys back when they settled a race discrimination charge with the Rever-hund Jaaaack-suuhn. Really took it up the shorts. All employees were presumed racists until they showed up for enough sensitivity training sessions to get their minds right.
