MY MAN TREESH, are you up for this new and exciting burger challenge????
― y kant max read (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 31 December 2014 15:57 (nine years ago) link
Just went in on the Meister (DC SS). It was more crunchy onion bits than rings but still really good. Actually, bits are probably even crunchier.

Atlanta got a Shake Shack a few months ago, but I hadn't even realized it until a coworker posted his review on fb today: "Not a shack. The burger and shake are middling attempts. This place thinks a lot of itself, but its basically a seasoned-down, tarted-up Five Guys with milk shakes. 4/10, will not return."

Who's on board with the IPO?

That new burger was always available to people who understand that you can basically do whatever you want with the menu, like ask for the shallots that were offered with the hot dog on the burger.
Most people who don't think much of the place order the shackburger with nothing on it which is not in fact all that great. You need to either order up to the mushroom or bacon versions or down to the cheeseless burger with everything else, and in either case order rare so that you're actually tasting the meat. Most people who think it compares unfavorably to Five Guys lack taste buds.

I think the Five Guys comparison was a knock. Atlanta has no shortage of good burger places at which to dine.

lol not a shack

"I think the Five Guys comparison was a knock. Atlanta has no shortage of good burger places at which to dine."
As does any major city. That is not the category to which Shake Shack does, or pretends to, belong. However, it is at the top of the fast-food burger pyramid and the quality of its ingredients or combinations, when appropriately quality-controlled, can meet or exceed a non-fast food equivalent.

That said, I reserve it for special occasions these days. It may be good, but it isn't health food.
same

I still haven't tried it, having only found out today that it's here. I probably will, though, because HAMBURGERS.

We went to shake shack by barclay's center after a nets game because we had really wanted ice cream and not realized the concessions (blue marble etc.) close well before the game is over. They had some apple pie flavored custard, which I didn't think was very good. Still have never had their burgers/fries though.

love the shack, never had a bad shackburger. was able to resist the shackmeister--the pull of novelty was defeated by the fact that i actually don't really want fried shallots on my burger.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 2 January 2015 22:00 (nine years ago) link
i really, really want fried shallots on my burger
Things I want 2 try at Shake Shack:
1. Burger w/ crunchy shallots2. Burger w/ crunchy shallots + cherry pepper slaw3. Burger w/ cheese sauce instead of sliced cheese
