| - Worth the hype.
I saw the pictures and read the amazing reviews and now it was finally my turn to partake and man, it did not disappoint.
Let me just weigh in on the great burger war I've seen going on in the reviews... my favorite quick serve burger is from the Habit. But that doesn't mean I can't love and appreciate another burger. So just because you enjoy one, you don't have to trash another. It's not a Sophie's choice here. It's a burger. That being said, Shake Shack is friggin delicious.
The line is usually long, but don't let that deter you, it moves quickly. The server who took my order was super friendly and answered all my newbie questions. I went with a standard shack burger fries and a drink. First time, you need to make sure the core menu items can stand up.
After about a 10 minute wait, the order was up. And yes, it looked as delicious as all the pictures people take. Is there any better combination than meat and cheese? Besides Penn and Teller, I think not.
Forget the look, the taste was amazing. Moist and every single element was bursting with flavor. Their secret sauce is a nice touch as well. If I had to compare, I would say it's kind of similar to Smashburger with the overall type of burger it is, yet the flavors are definitely distinct.
I'm glad there isn't a shake shack closer to me... this could become a problem. A delicious problem.
Honestly, the strip is loaded with burger joints - some casual and others super fancy, but you'll be hardpressed to find a tastier burger. Can't wait to go back.
