Shake Shack

At first I was disappointed because their prices were a little high for burgers, and their fries looked like crinkle cut fries you’d buy frozen at the grocery store. Boy was I wrong! When I tasted their food, OMG… It was sooo good. Til this day, I can’t stop talking about how good their food is.
My party ordered:
Smoke Shack Burger $ 6.69
Regular Fries $ 2.95
Cheese Fries $ 3.95
Shack Stack Burger $ 9.49
Shack Burger $ 5.19
I actually liked their Shack Burger the best. But, all their burgers are juicy & delicious. I love the burger buns as it reminds me of the Hawaiian bread that I love. And their fries, those were my fav!!! I don’t know what seasoning they use, but it tasted so yummy, & they fried them perfectly for me — well done fries that’s crispy on the outside.
Although they accidentally mixed up our order, they were very apologetic, and the manager took the initiative to hand deliver our correct order to us. The staff were very helpful as well.
I seriously can’t wait to go back… This has actually become my new favorite burger joint!

I wish I had gotten the chicken sandwich because I had heard good things about it, but I went with a burger, I wanted to give it a try. Meh… it was just meh. Super small as well, especially for the price. I don’t like crinkle cut fries so we skipped those and got a chocolate shake which was also very small and very average.
The service was great and the set up of the restaurant is modern and clean. I like you can grab a cup of water if you need one.
So we came with our dog, it was nice day for winter but the entire patio is in the shade so I was freezing the entire time, they have heaters out there but they weren’t on, my husband tried to turn on a few of them but none of them had gas, so we ate quick. We did get our dog a Pup-​tini (cup of vanilla ice cream, pb, and a dog treat).which he absolute loved, so that was worth the trip.
I’ll try them again but next time… chicken and ice cream!

Shake Shake in DTS:
You order at the counter as soon as you walk in then they give you a pager to notify you when your order is ready. There is plenty of seating in the dining area. The dining area is mostly comprised of booths, with some chairs. The entire place appeared to be very clean.
We tried a few different menu items. The bill totaled 43.71 for the following order:
2 — Shack Stack Burger — Good burger, but pretty small for the price.
1 — Chicken sandwich — Pretty good chicken sandwich. I like the pepper taste in the batter. Again, small for the price.
1 — Chicago Dog — I guess it is good if you like Chicago style dogs. I don’t care for all of the toppings.
1 — Chicken Dog — the chicken apple sausage dog was good, but I should not have told them to top it like the Chicago dog.
1 — Crinkle Fries — good fries.
I like the fact that the chicken served here is free range and all of the meat is natural (No hormones and no anti-​biotics). I would recommend trying this place. The burgers and the chicken are worth coming back for. No more Chicago hot dogs for me.

I’m really torn on how many stars to give. Don’t get me wrong, my burger and fries were pretty good… but nothing memorable or «out of this world.» Shake Shack is located by MTO café, Crave and Fogo de Chao.
I ordered the hamburger with all the fixins (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and ShackSauce.) Also got a side of their regular fries. Super tempted to get the cheese fries but I need to watch my waistline.
Am I the only one who thought the burger was on the smaller size? It’s not as small White Castle (then again, those are more like sliders) and it’s not the size of an In n Out burger. Just thought it was… kind of… an awkward size? It even reminded me of elementary school lunches. Like I could’ve gone for another burger if I really wanted to. And trust me, I’m 5’1, one-​hundred and something pounds and I still wasn’t completely satisfied after. I guess in the end, it’s for the better. I still got my burger fix without walking outta there feeling like a blob. But for big eaters… or even normal sized eaters… you may have to order two burgers… which will cost you about $ 8 – 9 in total. I don’t know man… I don’t think it’s worth it. There are plenty of other better burger joints in this city.
So…3 stars it is. It’s really just «A-​OK.» Don’t know why there’s such a hype though… am I missing something?

So apparently this is the In-​N-​Out of the East Coast? Or so I’ve heard.
In any case, I knew that this would have to be a MUST try in Vegas. I ALMOST didn’t get a taste of Shake Shack, but luckily enough for me, the Shake Shack on The Strip isn’t the only one.
My friend took me here on a Sunday night around 9PM and it was fairly busy. There were tables, but a good amount of people were there. I had overheard my friends talking the other day about a burger with mushrooms and how good it was… so I came in look for it. However, it was nowhere in sight… I was about to order the Shake Burger, when I noticed that there was a burger called the Stack Shake or something along those lines, which was the burger I was looking for.
It was a big on the pricier side of burgers, but I told myself it was worth it, and luckily it was. This burger was absolute perfection. The mushroom is actually a patty that has melted cheese in it, stacked on top of the meat patty, which also has cheese, served with the shake shack sauce and lettuce and tomatoes.
I took my first bite and cheese oozed EVERYWHERE, which is what I LOVE. I devoured my burger because of how tasty it was! Shake Shack is totally worth it if it’s a once in a while thing, but I don’t know if I can afford to come by every week for it.
I feel like a traitor saying this, but Shake Shack is half a step above In-​N-​Out because of how amazing those fries are. I didn’t order the fries at this location, but when I tried them at the one on The Strip, it was AHHHMAZING.
I definitely need to try the shakes and cheese fries next time I come across a Shake Shack! This is a definite, must try when you’re on the West Coast and in Vegas!!!

Not sure why there’s so much hype with this place but it’s mediocre at best and pricey for sure. 2 hot dogs, 1 cheese fries and 1 shake was nearly 20 bucks! And aside from the shake, the food wasn’t good at all. The hot dogs are tiny and taste about as good as grocery store microwavable dogs. The cheese fries were just a handful of crinkle cut fries, aka frozen, with some nacho cheese on top… expected more from a place with this much hype
If you come here, I’d only recommend getting a shake and not any of their food. It’s not good at all and you’d just be wasting your money. Definitely overrated. For much better hot dogs for a fraction of the price, you might as well go to Costco across the street

My first trip to NYC was magical. It was foodie heaven. One of my most favorite meals was at Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. Now it’s here in Vegas and off the strip! How awesome is that?!
Mushroom lovers, the shack stack is a must try! It is a breaded portobello mushroom with warm melted cheese in a cheeseburger. Warning: it’s a lot of cheese, but in a good way of you really like cheese. Negatives: the priciest of all the burgers. Some people can’t justify paying that much, but for me it was well worth it to relive that original Shake Shack experience. Plus it saves me a plane ticket.
Vegetarians, the ‘shroom burger is a great choice also. Basically, the same as mentioned above minus the beef patty. Love this option on my non-​meat days.
Do you like a little heat and a little sweet? Bacon? I think I have your attention now. I highly recommend the the SmokeShack, which has chopped cherry peppers and applewood smoked bacon. It’s so tasty! Definitely, a man’s burger. My husband gets this every time! Also, available as a double (patty).
Truthfully, you might be disappointed with the ShackBurger. It was not bad at all, just not memorable. I would rather spend a little more for the ShackStack or the SmokeShack.
The crinkle cut fries here are okay, but I recommend the cheese fries over plain fries. The cheese adds some extra oomph in the flavor department.
What I love about Shake Shack is the quality ingredients. Although, burgers are on the small side it doesn’t bother me. I’m full after one burger and sharing fries. Pricy overall, but it’s a nice splurge. Honestly, Shake Shack is not really comparable to other burger joints out there.
With desserts and cold treats nearby, I usually skip the shakes and concretes. I’ve sampled some before and they were delicious and extremely smooth. Look out for limited edition flavors that rotate weekly /​seasonal!

yes please! I love Shake Shack! Great burgers and probably my favorite fries right now. I also love that this place has concretes with a taste of local flavor. The red velvet concrete comes with cake from Gimme Some Sugar, a bakery that I adore.
Being the one of two Vegas locations, this restaurant gets pretty busy. However, the couple of times that I’ve been here, I haven’t waited for my food for over 10 – 15 minutes. There has also always been opened seating, unlike New York where getting a seat is like participating in Hunger Games.

The best Shake Shack burger I’ve tried has been the Smoke Shack. The little bit of heat from the chopped cherry peppers is an amazing complement to the smoked bacon and ShackSauce. The Shack Stack with its beef patty and fried portobello is tasty too, but at $ 9.59 for a single, it borders on pricey for a fast food spot. With all their burgers the buns are too squishy for my tastes (I prefer them toasted and firmer) and the beef patties lack the sear and crust of better burgers around town. The best thing going for Shake Shack are the concretes. In particular, the Red Velvet Rocks with vanilla custard and chunks of red velvet cheesecake is a reason to come back over and over.
3.5 Stars

Had lunch here while enjoying my stay at Red Rock resort across the street. I was looking forward to eating here since my last few visits to the strip. Very clean and nice atmosphere inside; too nice for a Habit and not quite a BJs. Lots of TV screens showing Nickelodeon and ESPN. The menu was plastered up against the wall. Lots and lots of options for those of you looking to be adventurous. Burgers, hot dogs, and shakes/​custards, etc. I liked that they had beer on the menu.
Made it a simple lunch, cheeseburger and fries smothered in cheese. Wife had cheeseburger and fries. Kids went with hot dogs and fries. Here’s a tip for you just do one order of fries for two or three to share. By the way they are crinkle cut fries. I was not that impressed with the burger. It was good but not great. It was very puny as well. Reminded me of a white castle burger. The bread was really good. I had a few bites of the cheese fries and they were good. My kids were not impressed. They barely touched their hot dogs and fries. I enjoyed the beer and the atmosphere. I am probably a bit bias for in n out and the habit.
Overall, I thought it was a bit overpriced for what it was. I may try again bit maybe go for a dessert. The staff was really great. Every staff member was courteous and greeted all the patrons with a smile.
To each his own. I’m not completely sold on the shake shack yet. Give it a try. Happy eating!

Ohhhhhhh shake shack! How so many people love you.
I must say I went back as I was craving their greasy shack burger. If only it was ¼ bigger in size and came with fries and a drink, I would think it’s so worth it for $ 9.
I enjoyed the shack burger, but their price point still really bothers me as I see them as a fastfood chain, and not a sit-​down restaurant. The crinkle fries are whatever in my opinion.
The smoke shack (that comes with bacon and some spice) is good. It was overly salty for my taste buds, and I’d stick to the regular shack burger if I were to return. Maybe if it was someone’s treat I’d continue to come back, but I still feel the same way about giving my business to In n Out when the quality is equal to me and price point is way more awesome at the other. Plus, you can’t beat fresh fries.

Being a Californian, I get really excited whenever I see Shake Shack because sadly we don’t have all of this goodness out there. I’ve only been to two other Shake Shacks other than this one (one of which is the one in New York New York on the Strip). Today, I ordered a burger with fries (no cheese) and the vanilla concrete. The burger, although very good and fresh, seemed to have a soggier bun than the buns that I had at my previous visits to Shake Shack. Otherwise, the burger was pretty delicious. I have no idea what that Shake Sauce is, but it is pretty darn good. The patty was well seasoned and very fresh.
Unfortunately, the fries are nothing to write home about. They are crispy and tasty, don’t get me wrong, but they are nothing notable. They taste pretty similar to freezer fries. The vanilla concrete didn’t taste much different from any regular blizzard/​freeze/​McFlurry like concoction. A single is pretty small and might not be worth the $ 3.50.
For fast food, Shake Shack is pretty expensive. But the burgers are so good and fresh that I always come back! The service here is very fast and friendly as well. And a huge plus is that this location is much less busy than the one on the Strip — of course!

The fast food playing field is changing drastically. The era of fast food chains getting away with serving mediocre food cooked in greasy oil with impersonal service in a sterile environment designed to get you in and out is facing intense competition from the newer generation of fast food chains. This new generation of fast food chains is being led by Shake Shack, Five Guys, and Smash Burger.
After hiking in Calico Basin and the streets of Downtown Summerlin, my brother and I were up for a post-​hike dinner in Shake Shack. I had been looking forward to biting into a Smokestack burger. In recent times, I had visited Shake Shack four times and developed an appreciation for their Smokeshack burger.
Just like downtown Summerlin is the future of the regional shopping mall, Shake Shack is the future of the fast food restaurant. My experience describes dining in a futuristic fast food restaurant. After ordering from the menu on the wall (not over a counter), the friendly cashier presented me with a beeper. Instead of waiting by a counter for other people, or hearing order numbers go off, the gentle buzz of a beeper went off when the food was ready. The dining room is an environment that encouraged me to relax. This is totally disparate from a sundry of the fast food restaurants walled with plate glass windows overlooking the highway where the psychological message has been to eat up and get back on the road. In Shake Shack the interior feels more like a casual full service restaurant than a fast food restaurant. From my table I overlooked a couple of close caption HD TV sets playing football and «Shriek.» If it was a warm day, I could of sat outside in the patio overlooking the beautiful arroyo park in downtown Summerlin. Whether I sat inside or outside, there was an employee offering to dump my garbage. And if I really wanted to relax, instead of a Coke with my crinkly fries, I could have enjoyed a draft beer. Biting into a Smokestack burger was more than enough to make me relax.
Shake Shack has been consistent with quality. In similar fashion to the past three visits the Smoke Shack burger elevated my taste buds. That 100% angus beef between two soft buns were the delicious prime ingredients that complimented Applewood bacon, red peppers, and that mysterious Shake Shack sauce. The crinkly cut fries were good but not Nathan’s greatness.
It seems that Las Vegans including yours truly Daniel. S love Shake Shack. But Shake Shack is doing a Winco business strategy where they build a couple of restaurants that require people to drive a distance to come to them. Currently the only other Las Vegas location is in New York — New York.
Speaking of New York — New York, I want to clarify a major Shake Shack misconception. There is a misconception that Shake Shack is the IN N Out Burger of New York and they are all over the New York metropolitan area. Not true at all. I grew up in New York and never heard of them. Throughout my young adulthood there was a few locations in the city. Only recently did they expand to the Suffolk County suburbs of New York. They are totally different from IN N Out. Shake Shack goes for around $ 12 where In N Out is about half the price. Shake Shack offers several different items where In N Out offers a few. From growing up in New York, I feel thar White Castle would be comparable to IN N Out.
On the other hand what is the antithesis of a misconception is that Shake Shack is fantastic. With all the four star reviews including this one, it is foreseeable to walk into this futuristic fast food restaurant and set eyes on the «People Love Us on Unilocal» sticker.

My first experience with Shake Shack was very shortly after this location in Downtown Summerlin opened in October 2015. I’ve been back quite a few times since, and see no reason why I won’t continue to frequent this place for its tasty burgers and desserts.
The restaurant has a clean, semi-​urban feel with the cool addition of tables made from the wood of old bowling lanes. It can be a touch noisy when the place is packed, but overall not bad. When I’ve been at lunchtime, I’ve noticed this is a favorite place for the kids from one of the nearby middle/​high school to gather and eat. Kind of cool, given the relationship Shake Shack has with Communities In Schools. More on that in a minute. Most of the seating is inside, but when the weather permits, there’s a decent amount of outdoor seating too. You admire the gigantic menu on the wall when you walk in, order at the counter, take your number and find a seat. Depending on how busy it is, they’ll either call you up when your food is ready, or just might bring it to your table.
The burgers are all made from 100% hormone and antibiotic-​free Angus beef, and there are vegetarian options on the menu too. After trying the SmokeShack, the ShackBurger and the ‘Shroom Burger (the vegetarian burger option), my solid favorite is the SmokeShack. You can’t go wrong with a bacon cheeseburger topped with chopped cherry peppers to add a mild zing. Oh, be sure to get it as a double. I’ve also tried the Shack-​cago Dog. While it’s not thoroughly traditional, it’s definitely a good variation on the Chicago style hotdog. If you want a Chicago dog and can’t find one prepared in the traditional way, this will definitely do.
Then there’s dessert, which can be described in just three words: frozen custard concretes! If you’re unfamiliar, a concrete is basically a shake that’s too thick to drink through a straw. Definitely try the totally addicting Summerlin S’mores. To make a great place even better, this location is partnered with Communities In Schools (Nevada) and makes a small donation from the sale of every Summerlin S’mores, Red Velvet Rocks, and Crunch-​stellation concrete. So eat dessert and contribute to keeping kids in school! (It makes the whole dessert thing guilt-​free.)
Parking: this location is in Downtown Summerlin, so there’s no shortage of parking lots. If you’re pressed for time or don’t want a long walk, be sure to park on the north end of the shopping center. Now go eat!

So we found out there’s another new outlet that just opened and we went to check it out. I’m not sure why the reviews are lower for this one but I think the food they brought out were the same quality as the ones in NY NY. Just as delicious. If anything it’s LESS CROWDED, which means FASTER SERVICE. It’s a bit smaller but I love the ambience here, thus the 5 stars.
Since this is our 2^nd time around, we went easy. Lol! Shake Stack, double shack burger with fried shallots, normal fries and cheese fries. Of course we forgot to get their famous shakes! Bummer! There’s always next time! Until then, we will be missing you!!!

I am a big fan of Shake Shack. All it took was one bite less than a year ago and I was hooked. I know, blasphemous for a West Coaster. (Insert eye roll)
My favorite is the ShackBurger (cheeseburger). I enjoy it as a single or a double with the standard lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce. Plus, I like to add onion (raw) and pickles. Amazing. The SmokeShack is really great as well. My favorite part of their burger, besides the delicious 100% Angus beef patty and fixings, is the soft and chewy potato bun! (Potato bread is awesome!!) Hamburger buns usually drive me bonkers because so many of them are dry or disproportionate to the amount of meat, etc. Their burgers are perfect.
Crinkle-​cut fries aren’t the most amazing or exciting potatoes in the world, but they’re still tasty. Plus, if you’re feeling extra gluttonous and order them with cheese, it’s so darn good.
I’ve had a couple of their concretes and they’re good, but I’m not crazy about them. Their shakes are pretty tasty, too. I don’t focus much on dessert since I’m all about the burgers and fries!

JUICY MELTY BURGERS
I had the pleasure of coming here for a Unilocal ELITE EVENT which also made me want to come back! I typically do NOT eat burgers so if you can make me want a Burger I would have to say *bravo*
The staff here are so SWEET & FRIENDLY although I will have to say the so called manager may want to watch what he is saying in an open kitchen… I went to the counter to ask for a piece of lettuce & the worker asked the tall manager guy for a piece of lettuce & he says «what are we… feeding a rabbit?» Ummm talk about turn off… I am standing right in front of you… that will be my only reason for 4 stars…
They even have dog treats for sale as well which is freaken cute!
Also came back here w/​come girlies to grab dessert & another manager that was at the Unilocal event was giving out little samples of the hot coco which we ended up buying!
SMOKE SHACK BURGER $ 6.69 — the SAUCE is freaken awesome & it has a slight kick of spice which I LOVE since I’m not good w/​burgers… but that spice makes it all good.
DBL SMOKE SHACK BURGER $ 9.95 — double the patty
CHEESE FRIES $ 3.95 — crinkle fries cooked to perfection & drizzled w/​cheese sauce
SHACK 2 O $ 2.35 — part of the money is donated
RED VELVET CHEESECAKE CONCRETE — RICH & CREAMY but the least rich out of all the flavors!
SEA SALT CARAMEL HOT COCO — this is my new FAVORITE place to get hot coco! It is so thick & creamy & hot!!!

The BEST thing about Shake Shack is the size of the burgers ! Not those huge things that we all eat, but regret as were takeoff the last couple bites… Shake Shack does offer multiple patty options, the single patty works BEST! In my opinion ~ Their buns are soft and remind me of an Kings Hawaiian roll… which I LIKE, ALOT! However you have to ask for pickles… ask for xtra Shack Sauce too!!!
The Crinkle fries are good! Not FAB, but good. Their shakes are good too! AGAIN not Gr8, but good and also come in a smaller size so your not SOOO bloated after eating~

Shake Shack is a New York City better than average burger chain that has been around 10+ years and recently opened their 2^nd Las Vegas location in Downtown Summerlin. Welcome to the neighborhood!

We each ordered 2 of the double SmokeShack Burgers… which are double cheeseburgers topped with all-​natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper and a very flavorful ShackSauce. Super delicious and I could’ve eaten a third!
We also ordered their cheese fries which are topped with their special blend of cheddar and American cheese sauce! Also, tasted very good!
Lots & lots of calories consumed at this celebration lunch, and was kinda expensive at $ 42 bucks for just the 2 of us, but well worth the dining experience!
Unilocal 250 CHALLENGE 2015: #246

I like Shake Shack… I like it just as much as I like that other place that 95% of you compare it to. Am I gonna compare the two? HELLZ NO!!!, I’ll Let YOU waste your time on that. If you’re trying to compare, Freddy’s has a much more similar concept IMHO… moving on…
We were fortunate to have attended the Elite event where it was my first time experiencing Shake Shack. We were planning to try three different burgers, but due to our location in the back of the patio, the very talked about Smoke Shack never made it to us. This was also the first Elite event where we saw DOGGIE BAGS??? Yup, Elites went there. classy huh? So a return visit was planned to try the Smoke Shack.
A couple weeks later, we returned already knowing what we wanted, I got a Smoke Shack and also tried a Chicken Dog, Chicago Style. Wifey liked the flavor and simplicity of the Shack Burger, so along with some fries, we were set… until I saw a sign advertising a PUMPKIN PIE CONCRETE, so that was added for dessert and put on hold until we finished our meal.
Service is always friendly, quick, and efficient here, and although there may be a line at times, the wait times for your order don’t seem long at all. As the burgers go, they are quite tasty. Shake Shack burgers have that flavor that will definitely keep people coming back. The frozen custard here is dense, rich, and smooth and a perfect end to your meal. Flavors change weekly, and the concretes are exclusive to this location only. Prices here may be a deal breaker for some, as well as portion sizes, but the Smoke Shack and concretes will definitely keep me coming back. ALOHA!!!
