The thing about an old-school burger joint like Burger Shack is, you simply cannot compare it to more modern places like Burger's Priest and Holy Chuck. The hamburgers at newer places like that are objectively better, plain and simple.
And yet there's something irresistible about Burger Shack. Everything is suck in the past, from the decor to the furniture to the way they serve the food.
And the food is good. On this particular visit, I ordered a 6 oz. hamburger with everything on it and boy did it hit the spot. It was a sloppy mess but it was delicious. And even with that assortment of toppings, I was still able to taste the irresistible grilled flavor on the patty.
The cash-only thing continues to be annoying, though.
