| - My friends in the East Coast always rave about how awesome this place is, and now I can too! For starters, Shake Shack is its own unique burger joint. Despite the constant comparisons to In-N-Out, I can say after trying it today that they are nothing alike. So let's put an end to this East Coast/West Coast rivalry nonsense. :)
Okay, back to the burgers. Whenever I order a burger, I usually look for an option with sautéed mushrooms if one is available. I saw they had a "Shroom patty" and just assumed I could order my Shackburger with mushrooms. The cashier, however, informed me that the mushrooms only came in the form of the "Shroom patty". Um, okay. I'll pass on the mushrooms.
Despite the initial confusion, I ended up really enjoying my burger. Subbing regular burger buns for soft, buttered potato buns is just genius! The meat patty was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly topped with melted cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes, and pickles. I really liked the pickles because they aren't the precut, dill chips most burger joints use. They are actual, freshly cut dill pickles! The fries are good as well, especially if you're a fan of the crinkle-cut.
I will, however, attest to the overly high prices. You can easily find yourself spending about $20 on two burgers and fries here. Hubby also commented on the rather small size of the burgers. He isn't a proponent of large portions either. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if I'm in the Summerlin area, I will definitely make a Shake Shack stop.
P.S. Ask for a side of ShackSauce for your fries. You won't regret it!
