| - My cousin raves about Shake Shack in NYC so of course I had to stop in when I saw it was opening here. Immediately I can tell it's definitely better than Five Guys. All the food we had was very good. The chicken might be better than the burger, with the house-made sauce and the breading! The fries were very crispy but still soft inside, it's like fryer magic!
Still, I prefer Culver's to Shake Shack. For one thing, both restaurants have thin patties with crispy edges due to the Maillard reaction, but Culver's are juicier. Then, Culver's has a larger variety of custard flavors (vanilla-to-vanilla comparison, they are comparable but SS is better). And, for the $8 pricetag at Shake Shack for a double cheeseburger, you get a full double cheeseburger COMBO at Culver's!
Still, no complaints whatsoever about the food, so 4*.
