Ordered the Black Truffle Burger, ShackBurger, SmokeShack, fries, and a vanilla shake. This was a pickup order and I arrived right on time, my order was ready at the pick up shelf. It may be due to the order being a pickup order instead of ordering at the counter that they did not resemble the more flattering images in their advertising, especially at the elevated premiumness of this fast food chain. Across each of these burgers, the angus beef is tasty if a little thinner and flattened to beyond the edges of the bun than I expected. And the choice of using a potato bun was great, creating a different mildly sweet bread to hold the burger together. The Black Truffle Burger does have a nice gruyere cheese and lovely truffle sauce, though just a bit disappointed the crispy sweet onions seemed quite sparse. The ShackBurger was a great take on the classic cheeseburger style. This is a great easy choice however my order was disappointing because the bun came up short, literally. The bottom bun seemed to be missing 30% of it, please see the attached photo, and I hope they do better during any QC of making sure the bottom bun is a complete bottom bun. The SmokeShack burger is great for bacon lovers, this bacon was done well and the chopped cherry peppers were barely spicy, only accentuating how good the rest of this burger was. The crinkle cut style french fries here were definitely something to add to your order, good texture and consistency and a nice light crunch to these. And of course, it’s in their name, the Vanilla Shake was creamy, nice and light to drink, the taste of real vanilla in here is very pleasant and would be a great starter to their line of shakes. Ultimately, I’d like to revisit this location and try a sit-down experience or at least order at the counter. I think it was great but perhaps my order happened to luck out this once. The pricing is a little on the higher end for fast food but based on their use of ingredients, it’s justified. Employees were really kind and quick to get me in and out during their lunch rush. Interior looks really modern and clean, medium foot traffic. There is plenty of parking behind in their parking lot but it might be tighter for bigger cars.
