| - I first had Shake Shack when my mom brought home some cold cheeseburgers from their Chicago location. They were delicious, but technically that incident doesn't count as my "first time" having Shake Shack, so fast forward to a couple of months later when I visited Vegas with family and friends. Immediately upon checking into my hotel, I asked where the Shake Shack was and they happily told me it was right across from our hotel! To sum it up, I pretty much had Shake Shack every day during my short vacation. Oh, and I guess I should note that I am from the West Coast, so I will be making comparisons to In N Out.
Shack Burger
This is heaven in between two buns! From their website, 100% all-natural Angus Beef with no hormones and no antibiotics cooked medium unless otherwise requested. I opted for a single, which is your standard cheeseburger with tomato, lettuce, and Shack Sauce and was pleasantly full every time I had it! I also had it bacon ($1.55) but I prefer the cheeseburger without it! The burgers aren't cheap though at $5.19 for a single and a whopping $7.99 for a double - both more expensive than an In N Out meal. A tough one, but I prefer Shake Shack Burgers over In N Out.
Fries
I love crinkle cut fries simply because they are reminiscent of my childhood hot lunches. Shake Shack fries, however, are definitely not your standard childhood lunch fries! These are perfectly crispy, golden, morsels of piping hot potatoes with a slight crunch with every bite. $2.95 will get you a nice tray of them! I also had them with cheese aka cheese fries, but I prefer them plain. Shake Shack fries over In N Out fries any day!
Frozen Custard
I read somewhere that Shake Shack was known for their custards, since I guess custards are more of an East Coast thing? I don't know. All I know is that the shakes at Shake Shack are pretty darn delicious! I had the standard vanilla and strawberry, which were good, but if you want that extra kick of sugar, definitely try the caramel because it was literally my favorite one out of the three I tried! Shake Shack shakes over In N Out shakes, ONLY because they have a caramel flavor.
Floats
My sister opted for all three floats (not all at the same time, of course!) and my favorite was the root beer as I found that the Purple Cow (grape flavored soda) and Creamsicle (orange flavored soda) tasted too artificial. Unfortunately, I didn't think this was a stand out item as I found it had too much soda and not enough custard! In N Out over Shake Shack floats, even though In N Out only has 1 float and it's on the secret menu.
Things I wish I tried
I wish I had tried other things on the menu like the Concretes, the Beer Floats, and of course the wine, but my time and belly wouldn't allow it.
For reference, 7 people each ordering a "meal" (burger, fries, shake) was close to $100. 7 people ordering a meal at In N out will be around $40, which is obviously a fraction of the price! Shake Shack, I wish you had a location in SF, however, your prices are just too much for me. I will be visiting whenever I go to Vegas, though!
