| - Call it hype if you want but if anyone finds anything wrong with these burgers, your taste buds are either in need of a tune up or you just don't know what a good burger is. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I came here on opening day in hopes of being one of the first 100 in line to get a free hat but after lollygagging at home, I didn't get there until 10:30 and by then the line was wrapped around the building. Despite the fact that we knew we wouldn't get a hat we wanted to eat because we knew what was in store for us. I've been to the NY and DC locations and when I found out that Charlotte would get the first Shake Shack in NC, I was ecstatic. We met some really awesome people in line and ended up eating with them, being on NBC News Charlotte's facebook live broadcast and live tv broadcast. How fun! Got my 15 minutes of fame. Ha!
Well after an hour and a half we made it into the doors and considering there were probably almost 200 people in line before us, it wasn't bad. They had so many people working and they were ready! We (had my teenagers with me) ordered three single shack burgers and added onions on it for no extra charge, some fries and soft drinks with some Shack Sauce on the side. We sat outside on the spacious patio and despite how busy they were, there was still plenty of seating. We took pics and then dug in! What can I say? Worth. The. Wait.
Now, I'm not a big crinkle cut fry fan but since I've had them before, I knew what I was getting. Everyone at our table loved their food and the manager even brought out a blueberry pie concrete dessert for us to try. The pie is from Suarez Bakery and proceeds go to a local charity, Loaves and Fishes. If you're not familiar with Shake Shack ask Uncle Google and he can lead you to Wikipedia or some other informative site and you can get the low down.
They also have chicken sandwiches, a meat free portabella burger, and other toppings include cherry peppers, Niman Ranch bacon, cheese lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc. Fries can be plain, cheese or bacon and cheese, hot dogs with fixings, and a chicken, apple and sage sausage. On the cool side they have milkshakes, floats, cups and cones and concretes. Drinks include lemonade, iced tea, root beer, fountain soda and assorted beer and wine.
They even have something for dogs, yes dogs! Pooch-ini which is ShackBurger dog biscuits, peanut butter sauce and vanilla custard. Not intended for small dogs it says. It says to just let small dogs have a lick or two. Second on the doggie menu is Bag o' Bones which is 5 ShackBurger dog biscuits. There's a water bowl and a place to "tie" your pooch up while you go inside. Not sure if they allow dogs in the patio area but only service dogs are allowed inside. I love dogs but I'm not a fan when places allow dogs in the eating areas. Most owners are considerate that not everyone loves dogs nor wants to eat with them but some just seem to be oblivious.
So that's it in a nutshell. They will be opening a location in the Blakeney Shopping Center and will be taking over half the space of Bravo which will be shutting down in a few days. I'm really excited for that and this time I plan to be in line to be in the first 100. I'm ready to go back already. Dinner anyone?
That is all!
