| - OK all, I do not enjoy being the lone 3 star rating in a sea of 5 star raters from truly burgerlicious yelping gurus. I went to the NY NY Hotel today to try Shake Shack and overall, I am rating the food a solid 3 star!
First of the location ambiance and feel of the place is 5 star. I like the location right on the strip, plenty of views to see all, and outdoor seating when it get's too busy!
Location - 5 Star - As above
Ambiance - 5 Star - As above
Menu and Choices - 5 Star - Check out their menu online or on the wall. It is great.
Service - 5 Star - You have a rather large menu on the wall or laminated menus to review your plethora of choices that can be amazing.
Food - 3 star - We opted for a simple hamburger with cheese, a Shack Burger SIngle which comes with lettuce, tomato and their special sauce. and a Shack Stack with is a cheese burger with a crisp fried portobello mushroom filled with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and their special sauce! I had a big bite of the Shack Burger and it was alright. tasted nice, however it was NOT mouth watering to me. It did not perk up my senses to say, ahhh, I have arrived. I was also surprised at the rather small size of the burger itself. For me my main meal was the Shack Stack with both the meat and the mushroom. When you bite into this, a gusher of warm melted cheese will ooze out and that was really great. I found it really hard to taste the mushroom as it was fried and I thought for the longest time I had the wrong order as i could only see the mushroom and not the hamburger itself. It was there, just very thin and nearly non-existent. I give this a three star overall for the fact that there was nothing remarkable about either burger.
The Fries - 2 Star - Much has been said about their crinkle fries, and their cheese fries. I would say that the fries were cooked just right, and at the same time, I must NOT be a fan of crinkle fries because I found myself missing the small, thin, crispy fries that many other places serve. The cheese fries were highly recommended and it felt like someone had melted simple sliced cheese on the fries. I mean, the cheese to me had a processed taste to it. I did not get it, but you can betcha it was darn decent as I ate the entire THING!
The Bouncer - 5 star - They have a greeter at the front to give you a menu and to give you a quick idea of what to get. I thought the greeters were both amazing and very friendly! Keep it up!
Frozen Custard, Dogs, Concretes- I cannot comment as we did not order this or any of the concretes. I will give this a 5 star because you know that when it warms up a bit, I am gonna go for the works on these puppies!
Cold Brew - 2 star - orderd the $4.75 Cold Brew, steeped and cold pressed iced coffee brewed and bottled in Brooklyn. They serve it in a 10.5 oz bottle. Tasted like simply cold coffee and it came in a plastic cup with a lid. Definitely not a bottle, and definitely I did not say - "Wow, how do you make that!" Instead, I said "Wow, glad I did not order that". OK, actually I did, however for my son.
I will be going back, as I cannot ignore all the yelpers who rave about this place. I maybe just was expecting something different. However, for now, I just don't get it!
