Missed the opportunity to eat at Shake Shack when I went to New York, so I decided to redeem myself by eating at this location.
Upon first glance, this place is aesthetically pleasing. The interior is not like your average burger joint, and almost looks more like a lounge than a restaurant.
I ended up ordering the SmokeShack burger with fries and Fifty/Fifty tea/lemonade.
Pros:
- Bacon + Cherry Peppers + ShackSauce = Yes
- Patty was deliciously smoky and flavorful
- Crinkle cut fries were probably the best crinkle cut fries I've had
- Free refills for the drinks
Cons:
- Burgers are very small
- Tea/lemonade flavor and sweetness is determined by who makes the tea as opposed to having a set recipe
- Fifty/Fifty tea was bitter w/little to no lemonade flavor I could discern
- Did I mention how small the burger was?
Although this was a pleasant experience, I do not see myself coming back anytime soon simply because it wasn't worth $14. People say quality over quantity, but Shake Shack's quantity is almost too small to overlook.
