Anyone who lives in the northern metro part of Atlanta who enjoys going to Shake Shack, knows how much of a pain the location at Perimeter Mall is. Then, to add salt to the wound, I found out my sister got one near her house in Huntersville, NC.
I then found out the local Burger King (that was around 30 plus years) closed down. But to a bittersweet ending to BK, a Shake Shack would be born! I was so excited, and (like my friends) have been waiting patiently and drooling by the fence lines.
Yesterday, was the grand opening. Now, if you do not know, the way I always suggest ordering is to use the app. At most locations, you go in, grab, and go. Or you can order and eat there, but I prefer being quick. However, yesterday was so busy, that the online ordering was not available- womp womp. I even drove by after work and there were 30 ppl waiting. It was time to reset and try again.
I woke up and around 11:15, the ordering was turned on. I was able to do (check this out) the unique option of the drive up pick up window! So, I ordered my go to- a double smoke shack and bacon cheese fries. They were ready in like 5 mins. I got the text and hauled over there.
It was busy when I got there, but that pick up line (being monitored by an employee to prevent unwanted line cloggers) was open and it was the easiest pick up experience, ever! I went home like an excited child and scarfed my meal like my hamsters do when I give them carrots.
It tasted like every time I have eaten it before. The people at the window, were very friendly. Can't wait to go back, because you know I will after seeing how easy today was! A surefire hit for the northern burbs!
