If yelp can do .5 stars this would have got a 3.5/5
This place in my opinion had wayyyyy to much hype associated with it. Seeing what the hype was about I decided to try it with a few friends...I originally wanted the ShackMeister Burger as I heard it was the burger on their secret menu to try but they sold out of it...so if you actually do read this review keep in mind I didn't have their best item on their menu...that's like going to In-N-Out and not having the option to order Animal Style...
I ordered:
Shack Burger - IMO the best burger out of the two that I tried...tasted fresh but god damn them buns were heavy that Sir-Mix-A-Lot would fuck with them...
Smoke Shack - sounded good, looked good, however left underwhelmed as the mixture of cheese, cherry peppers and bacon tasted borderline fake...no idea but it wasn't just my tastebuds that were fooled as everyone ordered the same burger at the table....
Shack-cago Dog - Basically a Chicago dog that was decent
Crinkle Cut Fries - Nice break from regular fries....
Jackpot Concrete - I love frozen custard....the Jackpot has Belgian Waffles and many toppings you would put on Belgian Waffles....I fucks with this
I don't usually provide a whole lot of weight on service in my reviews but let me be clear...the service to Shake Shack was fuckin incredible and they make sure to take care of you it's just that with other options in this city the food fell short imo...
