I've been a fan of Shake Shack for a long time and this location didn't disappoint! I came here a couple weeks ago for a Sofar Sounds concert. I had the Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Chicken Sandwich (also comes in burger form), a black and white shake, fries, and a really good flavored lemonade. Everything was really good. This was the first time I've ever gotten a chicken sandwich from Shake Shack as I'm a "burger queen", but this chicken sandwich and toppings really worked well together and I think I'd prefer this over the equivalent with a beef patty.
This location is right in the heart of Uptown. They validate if you park in the underground garage at Hotel Crescent (adjacent), which is great! This location has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I moved to Dallas last year and have been to Shake Shacks across the country, and when I first saw this location not long after I moved to Dallas, I said "wow that's gotta be the nicest Shake Shack ever." I said this because of the large outdoor dining area. There's plenty of shade, trees, space, and seating. It made for the perfect place for a small, intimate outdoor concert. I loved it!
Now let's face the facts. I've noticed since I first moved here that people in Dallas really don't seem to care that much about Shake Shack. In almost every other city I've been to one at, they always a long line and wait to order and are packed. I had my suspicions and I can tell by the reviews that my suspicions were accurate. There's no denying that Shake Shack's burger tastes a lot like In-and-Out's burger. There's also no denying that if you're going to get a burger that tastes similar, you're most likely going to go to the one that's cheaper, which in this case is In-and-Out. Dallas is one of the very few areas outside of California with an In-and-Out, so for all the rest of us folks from elsewhere, Shake Shack is the place to go for that type of burger taste. Dallas, you're spoiled. Shake Shack is great, and definitely has better fries!
