"Opening at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 6 in Denny Triangle, I found Shake Shack's first Seattle restaurant at 2115 Westlake Ave offering a lot more than a standard Shackburger: there’s a free Shake Shack T‑shirt for the first 100 customers, a Seattle‑exclusive Montlake Double Cut burger made with local beef, Beecher’s Just Jack cheese, caramelized onions, whole‑grain mustard mayo and a Macrina Bakery bun (available only at this location and only in limited quantities each day), decadent concrete custards including a coffee & croissant concrete with Sea Wolf Bakers croissant brittle and Theo dark chocolate, a Shack Attack chocolate concrete, and a Pie Oh My concrete that mixes in an entire seasonal slice from A La Mode Pies (5% of Pie Oh My sales will be donated to Youth Care). The standalone 3,015‑square‑foot space includes an outdoor patio, an installation by local artist Jesse Brown, and eco‑friendly touches like tabletops made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes and booths from Forest Stewardship Council–certified lumber, while local beers and wines share taps with signature Shack beverages." - Adam H.
