Shake Shack

y'all need to up yr shake shack game

fries are skippable at the shack imo, they're not exemplary just solid

Breakfast at Penn Starion now. Little can of Stumptown Nitro Cold Brew.

never read this thread before; it is great. craving shake shack now. i told the students in my advisory to share a goal for the year with me at the beginning of the school year and explained it did not have to be an academic goal, "for example I have a goal of eating at Shake Shack more this year." i am doing abysmally at this goal tbh.

Shake Shack has breakfast?

Their breakfast sandwiches use the same potato bun as their hamburgers. Not ideal imho

Lots of talk about stock price itt; stock now trading at less than half its peak, slightly below IPO value. Sort of strange because I do feel like it's kind of ubiquitous now, I was in a mall in Scottsdale and I saw one! Maybe people thought it could be much bigger and still profitable and they were just wrong?

i was at the penn station one last night!

missed connections

I wish they had a large order of fries for people who don't eat burgers and just want fries.

Shake Shack has breakfast?

similar phenomenon on west coast with The Habit expanding as the stock price continues to decline

think there will be a huge burger fight when The Habit meets Shake Shack in Denver

There is apparently a counterfeit Shake Shack in Tehran, which is intriguing.

whoa, I thought knew burgers but I have never ever heard of the Habit

There was a lot of talk about how it was way overvalued when it first started trading and it couldn't hit the growth needed to justify the valuation. Also, just anecdotally, yes, it is ubiquitious now, and it also seems unspecial and rarely super busy the way the old locations used to be. My whole theory about it to begin with (which seems to have proved correct) is that it was the kind of business that needed excitement and scarcity to thrive, like it was this "special treat" thing that people would go out of their way to stand in line for. Once it's everywhere, it loses that excitement, and then it doesn't really offer everyday foods you can eat for lunch at work and not feel like shit after.

sheikh shack?

Close!

Someone keeps editing the legit Shake Shack wiki page to put the fake Tehran branch in.

ha, nice work iran

sheak shack looks p good

Is anyone familiar w/ this place BurgerFi? Visiting family in Michigan and tried it, seems to be a Shack knockoff, similar design scheme (but w logo branded into top bun). Burger was alright. Good fries. They put sprinkles in my daughter's shake which I though was weird.

Biggest + was two veggie burger options (as opposed to the Shack's mere portobello choice) for my kids—a house made patty and one made by Beyond Meat—the pricey but convincing fake meat we sometimes use at home.....

i've seen one of those in Boston i'm pretty sure but never been in

i like eating shake shack for lunch. not heavy at all for a burger and for like $6 it's actually one of the cheapest things you can eat in manhattan. and if you use the app to order you can get in and out in like 2 mins.

treesh i miss it when you went on dates to Shake Shack w me

Me too. Great times.

I had the new chicken club thing a few weeks ago and thought it was delicious, that niman ranch bacon is tasty. But then tonight i had a burger at the fulton center location and it wasn't even good. And they fucked up my order, and the orders of the two guys who came to the pickup window at the same time as me. McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese is probably half the price of the double shackburger and better imo.

didn't really realize how good this place was, veggie burger and frozen custard is a dope late night snack

Yes chicken club seconded
Shit is crack

Chicken club is the deep cut of the menu imo

Still love the chicken shak, but overall I like this place less each time I go. I was at the one in Hudson Yards after being stuck in the mall due to hard rain and having no other kid-friendly option. Cramped, crowded, miserable experience, touch screens that didn't work, inexplicably long wait for food, people behind the counter refused to give us trays to eat off of for some reason, and the burger and fries are just not that good. Generally speaking I find all the locations I've been to have been really uncomfortable places to sit and that the overall experience is just not pleasant.

A few months ago, I walked by a Shake Shack in suburban LA that was a completely empty at prime dinner time.

I've still only been to the OG like 15 years ago when it was at MSP/Flatiron and you had to wait in line for way too long. Can't even remember if it was any good or not.

man alive OTM
The longer each location is open, the more oily and greasy and disgusting the interior becomes, the effect of which is just compounded by the hoi pilloi clamoring for napkins and soda cups and annoyed at the wait for their food

I was a skeptic from the beginning as this thread shows, but always basically liked this place -- I'm with man alive, though, the last couple of times I've had their burger, it was just... not that great. Not bad! But not great. In particular, this from man alive

it was the kind of business that needed excitement and scarcity to thrive, like it was this "special treat" thing that people would go out of their way to stand in line for. Once it's everywhere, it loses that excitement

feels right to me, I enjoyed it more when they didn't have it in my local mall and it was an "I can have this because I'm traveling" treat.

Or maybe the food has actually gotten worse, which is not an unreasonable thing to expect for a rapidly expanding chain.

The shakes are still good.

I love Shake Shack and In'n'Out, but can't even imagine going to mobbed hamburger restaurants at this moment

I mean, you order on the app, you pay on advance with your credit card, you're in there picking up the stuff for like 2 minutes, there's an indoor mask mandate where I live. If it were actually mobbed I might feel different but there were like four people in there.
