The hype is real!!! So the wait on this rainy opening night was still serious and the line was out the door at 9:30pm!!!
To start off I've been to Shake Shack in NYC and the hype didn't hit me until the Queen City got their very own!
On this visit we ordered 2 single patty ShackBurgers and a Cookie Butter Concrete. I was most excited about the concrete but once I tasted it it didn't really excite me. The concrete wasn't mixed that well and there was just one big glob of Cookie butter in the whole dish. (Note this is the opening day so you've got to allow for some hiccups). The star of the show tonight was the burgers and the fries!!!
Now our order was togo since it was close to closing and I had the kiddos. So you know we grubbed on fries on the car ride home. The fries were amazing. Perfectly seasoned, fresh and hot! They didn't need anything else added to them ie ketchup, extra salt or even my southern staple: ranch.
We didn't eat the burgers until we got home. My nephew got his custom burger order: Cheese, Pickle and Ketchup only. The ketchup is in a dispenser on the side and I had to grab a few to add to the burger once we got home. I got mine with Lettuce, Pickle and Shacksauce. The pickles are crisp and there was just enough Shacksauce.
Just a note they don't have a kids menu (smaller kid size portions) but they do offer things kids would like like grilled cheese and hot dogs. My nephew was able to demolish a single patty Shackburger!
Now to top off the experience they have the most amazing young lady named Consuela working the pick up line. She was very entertaining and kept everyone's spirits up. She made customers shimmy/shake for their food and had a very fun conversation with my nephew using the pagers.
I'm really happy to have Shake Shack in the Park Road Shopping Center. They are a great addition. I can't wait for the menu to grow and to see what treats they have planned for the summer!!!
