Shake Shack is so smart. They truly made the best business decision opening up a Shake Shack location in The Village, replacing the Xfinity store (total upgrade btw), and being literally 3 miles away from me. It's a terrible decision for my body and my bank account, but very smart for Shake Shack's business because you BEST believe that I've already been there 3 times since they opened LAST WEEK! Danger! DANGER!
I freaking love Shake Shack. Hands down my favorite "fast food," although it's more considered fast casual given the fact that they don't have drive-thru locations. What this Shake Shack location offers that none of the other Shake Shack's in Michigan offers so far though is that they have the absolute most adorable pick up window you can walk up to and pick up your to-go meals. This is what I've opted for the past 3 times given that I've just run out on my lunch break during work to grab a quick meal. It allows me to avoid the lines inside, which so far haven't been nearly as bad as when they first opened up in Detroit and Troy, but is also sad because this means I haven't even seen the inside of this Shake Shack yet!
I'm sure I'll get there at some point, but thus far, I absolutely have been loving and taking full advantage of the pick up window. Placing an order on the Shake Shack app beforehand, setting what time you want to pick it up, then just walking up to this window is so great. The parking lot directly outside of Shake Shack is small, but there is plenty of parking throughout the entire Village, so there's really never going to be a parking issue here.
The food is absolutely delicious. Their quality is so consistent so I have really seen no difference between all the locations, including this newly opened location. Everything on the menu is incredible and definitely keep you eyes peeled because they often roll out new, limited menu items that are always so tasty as well. Last month, they had a whole collaboration on their shakes with MILK BAR. Those shakes were out of this world. This month, there's a literal black truffle BURGER and black truffle sauce that you can dip your crinkle cut fries into. My goodness, it was insanely delicious. I'm a huge fan all around. My go-tos are their smash burgers, the crinkle cut fries, alllllll the extra sides of Shack sauce, and all their chicken products, especially their chicken bites. I don't know how they do it, but they truly have the best chicken around.
Welcome to Rochester, Shake Shack! SEE YOU AGAIN SOOOOOON!
