| - Unfortunately... i guess maybe this place was a bit overhyped. I was wondering why people were comparing to in-n-out or possibly smash burger. After hearing so many people trying it, finally had the chance to go last night during my friend's break while she was at work.
This place sits on the NE corner of the NYNY casino on the outside with a HUGE bright sign. The location is pretty nice (despite the construction for the new arena). Almost hard to miss. Lots of seating inside and outside (though still not enough because its a strip location AND it was during dinner time). Upon ascending up a few steps of stairs and into the restaurant, a HUGE menu graces you upon entry showing their entire menu of food, sides, shakes, drinks, wine, champagne, and beer ! (though their "drinks" takes up more than 1/2 the menu Lol)
Upon previously reviewing the menu during work and other times of boredom, i had decided to get the Shack Stack which consisted of their shack burger + mushroom burger. Standard Cheeseburger and a 'Shroom Burger topped with lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce. Just because it was my first time, i decided to go all out with an order of cheese fries and a strawberry shake.
My friend had ordered before i did and gotten his food first. He had ordered the SmokeShack which was a Single Cheeseburger topped with all-natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and ShackSauce. Lets just say it looked a bit sad ... small... he commented "at least the bun is soft" then the ol jokes start flying XD
When i had received my order, it looked much better, due to the help of the humongous fried portabello mushroom in the middle. Is it worth almost double the price compared to the normal burger? possibly. is it worth it by itself with comparison? maybe not. The burger overall, a little unsatisfying. Bun is indeed soft and delicious, but most surprising part is the fried portabello mushroom.... was it was stuffed with cheese o.O ! (so much for the previously mentioned "research" huh? lol...) The mushroom is filled with a melted muenster and cheddar cheese. Not overpowering but still flavorful and stringy cheese XD.
Strawberry shake - nice and flavorful. tick but not too thick. able to drink with straw. Pretty good shake. Kind of small though for the price. Like a small cup size you'd get from any other joint.
Cheese fries - depressing. Lol..... Crinkle cut fries covered with a cheese sauce that reminds me of nacho cheese. Menu says its super addicting.... not so much :( was hoping for something more amazing T_T sad face
This meal costed $20 and some change. Holy crap. Prior to visit, i was expecting the burger to be bigger, or rather everything else to be slightly bigger and better. For $20, not worth it :( At least i can say i tried it? The shakes are good, and if i were to come again, id go for a shake and maybe try a hot dog (altho sams club hot dog for $1.50 is so much more appealing LOL)
