| - I would usually wait to visit a couple of times before reviewing a new business, but Shake Shack managed to knock it out of the park on the first try, so here it goes...
They've been open for 2 days now and I figured it would be a mad house. I was there around 4:30pm and although it was busy, they had plenty of cashiers and there was no line. (I had a friend who went around 12:30 and said that it was a 45 minute wait, so be prepared to wait during peak lunch hours)
The staff is all very friendly and helpful and there is a large menu just as you enter. There are also paper menus at each cash register. As you order, you can see into the kitchen, which is always nice.
They seem to have more than enough staff to cover the opening. It appeared as if things were (basically) running smoothly. I did see a couple of hiccups while waiting for my order, but everything was fixed immediately.
I ordered take-out and it didn't take long for my food to be ready. The food is all reasonably priced, unlike most Strip restaurants. The cashier gave me my receipt and a buzzer to notify me when my food was ready.
They have a couple of areas of counter space where you can get ketchup, mustard, napkins, mayo, etc. They even had to go cups for the condiments, which is nice.
The décor is super cute. There doesn't appear to be tons of seating, but there are low tops, high tops and booths, along with a small round bench for people waiting for take out.
Now for the burger....I ordered the double Shack burger ($7.99), which is a very basic burger with 2 patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato and Shack sauce. I also ordered a side of crinkle cut fries ($2.95). For being "no frills," this burger packed major flavor. Consider me impressed. The fries were also very good. I like that they are fat and not wimpy like some other places.
My coworker ordered the 'Shroom Burger, which is vegetarian. It's a fried Portobello mushroom, filled with both cheddar and muenster cheese, topped with lettuce and tomato and Shack Sauce. I love meat, but this seriously looked and smelled so delicious that I can't wait to try it.
I also can't wait to go back for the desserts - they obviously specialize in shakes, but they make theirs with custard instead of ice cream.
They have a great beer selection, and I love that they have made an effort to support local businesses (Bad Beat Brewing has a beer on tap and Gimme Some Sugar's banana peanut butter cheesecake is in the All Shook Up concrete).
They are also active in the community, with 5% of sales from the "All Shook Up" concretes going to the First Friday Foundation.
I expect this place to be very successful, and they are off to a great start!
