I've never been to Shake Shack before today. First of all, I'd like to say this restaurant is an EXACT model of what happens when everyone screams for $15 minimum wage...you get to place your order at a kiosk and there are actually very few employees in the store. They have figured out that if Wal-Mart and other businesses can have self-check out and eliminate overhead, why not a restaurant? But, I digress. Let's stick to the food.
As mentioned above, this was our first time in. Walk in, read the menu, and place your order at a kiosk. I ordered the Double Avocado Bacon Burger with some additional toppings. The wife ordered the Single Truffle Burger.
Mine was prepared correctly and was good. My wife's, on the other hand, was better than mine. I've never had a truffles burger before but if and when we go back, I'll definitely order the Truffle Burger. Excellent taste.
The crinkle fries were also good. We also ordered one tea and one specialty lemonade. I say all that to say two burgers, two drinks, and one fry cost $38.00. I know everything is getting more expensive nowadays, but dang, that seems like a lot of money for two burgers for lunch. Especially a three-star lunch.
Shout out to my friend, and fellow YES friend, Huy N who we randomly saw at SS today.
Bottom line - The Truffle Burger had a great taste. The other was average. Seems a little on the expensive side for slightly better than average burgers. Will I return? Yes, but it won't be on the weekly. Probably not on the monthly. But, until then, Bon appétit, y'all.
