| - My friend Patrick was right for once. We normally don't have the same tastes when it comes to restaurants, but he was right on the money with his assessment on this one. He told me to walk in with an "open mind" though for him, it was, "just OK". Well, even with his encouragement, this place is another victim of the hype machine. I've seen numerous food shows covering the lines, the madness, and huge fanfare that covers Shake Shack's NYC location.
So, you can only imagine how happy I was to find out that there was one in Las Vegas (not having to pay for a flight to NYC to try this out).
To be fair, since I've had In N' Out and Five Guys, I ordered the following to compare:
Double Shack Burger; good, juicy patties, seasoned well, unfortunately someone had a heavy hand on the seasoning this night as the flavor kept going, as in, it turned out to be salty. Otherwise, it would've been a great burger, even though it is a bit on the small side (especially for the price tab)
Cheese fries; crinkle cut with a cheese sauce. My favorite part of the meal.
Fifty/Fifty; which was just right, even though it might be a premixed drink, it was fine.
Overall, it is worth trying and a good product, but I don't know if I would frequently go here especially for the price point and overall value.
