| - I went to the Shake Shack for an early-bird dinner on Thursday. It was a perfect sunny day.
We walked right up to the cashier and placed our order. They had three cashiers open at the time. I think it would be easier if there was a larger cashier area. Or more space between each cashier, if it was roped or guard-railed to feeder some of the line. The cashier gives you a buzzer and asks for your name. You are suggested to find a table there after. We found as booth right away. There was plenty of open tables inside and outside. Though a lot of people congregated in front of the pickup window, whom were picking up to go orders based on their bags rather than trays.
While we waited for our buzzer to vibrate, we selected our beverages of choice from the fountain. There is a choice of coke products, iced tea, lemonade, beer on tap, milkshakes and floats. I crafted an arnold palmer with the homemade lemonade.
I ordered a BBQ Cheddar and Bacon Burger, crinkle fries, a beverage and we shared a Black & White milkshake. I believe the burger is a summertime special. The BBQ Cheddar & Bacon Burger is a handcrafted patty (based on its shape), smoked cheddar cheese, bacon, crunchy pickle chips, and homemade BBQ sauce. It came in a white sandwich bag, which helped prevent a mess. The crinkle fries are crunchy, but could of used more salt. I would have liked the option of vinegar to put on them, however I did use my go-to sauce, hot sauce. The Black & White milkshake tasted like it was a standard chocolate.
It was a good burger, just didnt live up to the hype that I heard about the NYC location. I definitely wouldn't wait in a line of 30 people in front of me.
