Is this place any good? Is there something special they do over

it's average and way overpriced

go try it and report back, in case one opens near me

Fries are good, the burger's alright. Probably overpriced.

It's fast food. Is it better than McDonalds? Sure, yeah. Is it worth discussing? No, not really. I go there about 5x a year because I work near the original location on MSP. I don't understand why it, or any other fast food joint, is interesting enough to make 50,000 threads a week about.

>>9221403
Cool your jets, I'm just asking about a new food place near me I've never heard about that I can ask the Internet about.

>>9221381
It's a good burger as far as fast food burgers go. It costs more than your average fast food burger, but it's better than most. So if you want a better fast food burger and don't mind spending a little extra for it Shake Shack is for you. Otherwise not.

the fried mushroom burger is bretty gud as far as fast food goes.

Just expect to spend 15 a person for slightly above fast food quality.

Poorfags will shit up this thread. Prices aside it is better than any other chain burgers I've had. The shakes are trash, the fries are ok but much better with the cheese sauce. the only thing that could be improved with the burger is the bun.

this is coming from someone who hated shake shack at first because of the prices. but then I realized I'm not poor and figured out the best items to order.

So I'm looking at like... Five Guys quality? Better?

I don't eat at walk-in restaurants much because I'd either sit down for a full meal with a server or do a drive thru if I'm looking for something quick, but this place is closer to my house than most.

The only closer burger place to me is Wendy's though, and sometimes I want a burger. Worth the step up? How are the hot dogs or chicken sandwiches?

We just got one in my town. I haven't been there yet, but all the word-of-mouth is that it's a decent burger, but over-crowded, over-hyped, and over-priced.

They have beer, wine, and bourbon shakes, so there's that. They also have dog treats, so if you like dog hair in your restaurants, they're the place for you.

>How are the hot dogs or chicken sandwiches?
nobody knows for sure

since it takes about an hour to get to the front of the line, everybody just orders the safe option

nobody plays games at the shack

>>9222094
I'd say better than Five Guys but with shittier fries.

>>9222094

Holy shit, just go fucking try it for yourself.

>>9221381
It's a great burger but it's not worth three fucking Michelin stars like a lot of food bloggers seem to think it is, if I lived as close to one as you do I'd probably get food from there pretty frequently but fuck waiting in line for half an hour to get one like at the popular locations in big cities.
>inb4 flamewar about whether Shake Shack is better than In-N-Out Burger

About the same quality as steak n shake, but for double the price.

I don't understand how the one in Boston survives when Tasty Burger is leagues better and slightly cheaper

>>9222094
Way better than five gays, shake shack isn't cheap but it's very delicious and fresh

On a scale of In-n-Out to Whataburger, how would you rate it?

>>9223234

I wouldn't say it's better than five guys, 2bh

>>9223287
I find their burgers to be meatier and basically more worth the price. Five gays has better normal fries but shake shack's cheese fries are pretty good.

>>9223273

Pricey but tastes relly gud. I usually go for the SmokeShack burger, fries (which are also pretty good), and a shake. They've got some tasty ass shakes imo.
I'd go a lot more often if I lived near the city but since it's a place I only get to once or twice a year, the price isn't so bad. Especially when it's only a few bucks more than shitty fast food, which I pretty much avoid entirely now.

>>9222536
This entirely. Shake Shack has crinkle cut fries, objectively the worst kind of fries. My suspicion is that they're purposely showing contempt toward the fries to avoid the Five Guys mistake of drawing attention away from the burger. But their burger is much better than Five Guys.

Shit, sorry for samefagging. Didn't realize I was responding to my own drunk post from last night.

>>9222094
Go there and see for yourself you massive faggot

>>9224608
I hate it when that happens ;^)

The "stack" where they combine the veggie option of the deep fried portobello cheese-stuffed mushroom and place that on top of your burger. It oozes mushroom juice and gooey cheese.
There is also a great piquillo pepper relish that comes on one burger. Get that!

Not every burger place has Abita root beer, or some of their combinations of the shake-concrete mixer. Fresh berries, chunks of pie, see what appeals to you in your ice cream.

Fries are ordinary crinkle fries. Sauce is basically a copycat big mac sauce. I think the chicago dog is pretty novel or hard to find traditionally done with a fresh-baked bun for anyone not in the midwest, so it might be a good order for you.

Its weird I remember years ago before they expanded I went to the location in NYC. There was a line and it definitely was worth the wait. Now that they've expanded its barely a step above McD.

But whats strange is that no one I've talked has said that it has changed significantly in taste since before they expanded out of NYC.
