| - It's nice to have Shake Shack in the neighborhood! I, for one, love Shake Shack, but I'm not crazy-impressed by it either.
Food is great! The 'Shroom burger is their vegetarian option with a crispy and juicy portobello patty. The vegetables taste fresh, and there's gooey, melty cheese that oozes out as you take bites from your palm-sized burger. Some may find it's size relatively small, but I think it's a healthy portion.
A burger, a side of fries, and a milkshake is a good combination that will satisfy the average sized person! If the portion were any bigger, I would feel unhealthily full! (Psst! You know exactly what I'm talking about! It's that, "I just got hit by a truck" feeling after gorging on junk food!) And side note, I love cheese, but I definitely prefer the fries without it. If this review were based on food alone, I'd give it a solid 5 stars!
Now, why is it a 4 and not a 5? Well, I was put off by the customer service, which is indeed essential for a prime dining experience. The place just opened, and I understand they need to work out some kinks, but I didn't enjoy the atmosphere of the place either. The walls do not absorb enough sound, so the noise levels were a little high for my sensitive ears, and it pales in comparison to the more spacious Strip location. These are the reasons why it is a 4-star overall rating from me.
Also! I've noticed others mentioning the price... I expected that and accepted it, as I've been to Shake Shack before and understand that it needs to maintain the image of a more "upscale" fast casual restaurant (which also explains the trendy, industrial decor).
Overall: Shake Shack is definitely my choice for a burger treat! I can always take my burger outside in their nice little patio :-)
