| - Simple, fresh, and downright DELICIOUS!!! We had already eaten burgers at Gordon Ramsey's burGR earlier in our trip, and I didn't really want to eat burgers again, but my brother highly recommended trying the Shake Shack, and when my brother highly recommends something, I take him seriously because it takes a lot to impress him.
I had the hamburger with everything on it, and it was juicy, tasty and had all the right textures. I liked that there was just the right amount of everything so that nothing was dripping or falling out. Everything was just perfection - not too greasy, not too dry, not soggy. The veggies they use are fresh and nothing beats hot, perfectly salted crinkle fries. My husband had the portabello mushroom burger which interestingly, was a batter and fried portabello that is stuffed with oozing cheddar cheese. Although it's the vegetarian option, it's not as healthy as most vegetarian choices in other establishments. You can add this oozing portabello mushroom to any burger on the menu. It's definitely different and I've never seen anything like it before, but one bite was enough for me. It's very rich.
If you have any room left after devouring your tasty burger and fries, be sure to try the frozen custard. We ordered a "concrete" to share which had peanut butter, toffee, chocolate and bananas in it. It was so creamy and so smooth and most importantly, so sinfully delicious!
We didn't order any shakes, which is absolute blasphemy at a place known for and named SHAKE shack, but I had two more days left in Vegas! I'm a light packer and my only pair of jeans that I brought with me had to be able to zipper up for two more days! This just gives me an excuse to revisit Shake Shack the next time we are in Vegas.
The ambiance here is bright, fun, and modern. The tables were handmade in Brooklyn (the original Shake Shack is famous in NY) from reclaimed wood that was a bowling lane in it's past life. I appreciate detailed touches like that. We happened to go on the night of the Grammy's and we sat in our booth while eating and enjoying the Grammy's on the Big Screen in the middle of Shake Shack. Needless to say, I have never had a better experience with food and ambiance in a burger joint than I did at Shake Shack. Thanks brother, for leading me in the right direction, yet again!
