I am a big Shake Shack fan. I've been to every Michigan location so far, Detroit and the other freestanding building in Troy. I love their food. We were excited to see them build at the food court.
Today we ordered the chicken shack, a crispy chicken sandwich, crinkle cut fries, two concretes, and a six piece chikn' bite with honey mustard sauce. Everything was amazing as Shake Shack usually is. The chicken was very crispy on the outside moist on the inside. The fries have the right amount of salt. The concretes were yummy. Each Shack seems to have a different set of signature flavors. We had the Somer Break with vanilla custard, strawberry sauce, blondies, and sprinkles. Super tasty, and bonus, they did not melt too fast as some ice creams often do during a meal, especially in the summer.
There are a few downsides to this place. Today the credit card machine was down and they only accepted cash. Shake Shack happens to be very pricey so luckily I had a bit of money on me today. Because of the high price this is a sometimes treat for us and not an all the time treat. For your money the portions are small, but they make up for it in flavor. Since it is at a food court they don't serve their signature wine or beer. The freestanding Troy location does offer the wine and beer. If you like a nice white, it is worth checking out that restaurant instead. Their beer is great too.
I liked the set up of the line. They have cups of water available, sauce, and napkins for you to gather while you wait for your order. They give you a beeper to pick up your food, so the line moves quickly and efficiently. The carry out bags were nice as well. They are lined with a cardboard box so you won't spill or get grease on anything. We'll be back for more!!!
