I had never bothered to check out Pikes mainly because they seemed like a typical shake and burger joint. Man, was I wrong. Here's what you need to know: #1 Everything is homemade (even the salad dressings and the ice cream). #2 The honey pecan chicken is like foodie crack it's so addictive. That's all I get when I go there. #3 The people and atmosphere. Like hearing yourself? Enjoy super nice wait staff? Don't want to feel crowded or have to wait? They got you covered. #4 The shakes. They really are worth it. The cherry with black cherry ice cream is my favorite. Try this place. You'll be hooked.
