I have been to New York city several times and never got a chance to try Shake Shack. Therefore, I was excited when they opened up 2 locations in Scottsdale.
I ordered my food on the Shake Shack app ahead of time. The app was easy to use, and it made pick up at the restaurant very easy. However, I have heard complaints that coupons do not work well on the app.
I tried the Shack Stack and the Smoke Shack. The Smoke Shack is a very average bacon burger with the addition of cherry peppers. On the other hand, the Shack Stack is nothing like I have ever had, and I would highly recommend it. It has a cheese stuffed fried mushroom which they place on top of the burger patty.
The cheese fries were decent. The cheese sauce has a nice creamy texture but it is very mild in flavor. I actually prefer a sharper cheddar taste and would rather have the cheese fries at Portillo's or Corleone's down the street since both have a strong, richer cheese flavor.
The cookies and cream milkshake was too sweet and sugary, and I also did not enjoy the texture/consistency of it. It was also pricey at $5 for a shake.. Overall everything was pretty average but I would come back for the Shack Stack or maybe try a hotdog.
