After years of only providing the 'Shroom Burger as their sole vegetarian (and not vegan) option, Shake Shack finally released their Veggie Shack, which can be made vegan by subbing your buns to gluten-free buns! So that's exactly what I got (and fries, of course), and my husband ordered the Shack Stack with Cheese Fries. As a first-timer at Shake Shack, my husband did not realize that they had accidentally served him the wrong burger (ShackBurger) until the employees corrected themselves and got him the right one soon after. Unintentionally having tried two burgers, my husband liked how both beef patties had a pleasant smokey aroma, and the ShackBurger, in particular, paired well with the cheese. But his favorite was the Shack Stack, which he found to be superior to even the other burgers from different big joints he's tried.
As for me, I enjoyed my Veggie Shack as well--the patty wasn't like the Impossible or Beyond Burger patties that you can fool non-vegans with. Instead, it was clearly a veggie patty with visible bits of carrots, whole edamames, and other greens. But even as a junk vegan, I think that their veggie patty was good because the real vegetables gave a nice bite to the burger. The fries were also delicious from being served hot and fresh, even if we may not be the biggest fans of crinkle cut fries. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shakes or frozen custard as I was told that none of them could be made vegan, but I look forward to visiting again the next time my husband's burger cravings hit!
