I'll say this, though: Shake Shack is freakin' delicious.
First of all, I'm embarrassed that it took me until 2015 to finally eat at Shake Shack. I dropped by their Las Vegas location (in front of New York New York) for an early lunch. There was a short line but it moved quickly.
I had a Shackburger (with added pickle and onions), a small side of crinkle cut fries, and a "Shack Attack" concrete (chocolate custard with fudge sauce and chocolate truffle cookie dough).
The food was ready for pick-up within 5 minutes, and in my belly in something like 3 milliseconds. It was that good. The burger was juicy, the fries were crispy, and the concrete was decadent. I left Shake Shack feeling very, very happy.
Prices are some of the best on the Strip. No up-charges to speak of. I can't think of anyplace else on the Strip where you can get this caliber of a burger for $5.
I'm pretty much obsessed with Shake Shack now. Next time I'm in Vegas, I'll skip so-called "fine dining" and eat all my meals here instead. And I'll Instagram the results in obnoxious detail (natch).
Better yet: Shake Shack could open up a San Diego location. That would be nice......
