Shake Shack

If McDonald's had draft beer, I guess I'd eat there. Today at Shake Shack they played Wild Nothing. Great summer vibes.

Now I'm in Chipotle and they're playing the Smiths.

I don't wanna hear that shit at a fast food chain!

dude why the fuck did you go to Shake Shack AND Chipotle?

They've since played Nico. "Please don't confront me with my failures..." poignant in lieu of all the garbage i've eaten today

that's like 6 meals right there

wait was this over the course of the day or just for dinner?

Course of a day. After student teaching orientation in south philly ended at 11 i took the bus to walnut, ate at shake shack, walked back to west philly, talked on the phone with people in my apartment, took a nap, walked around some more talking on the phone, and then went into chipotle

ethical and sustainability questions aside, is a shake shack burger ~better~ than say a big mac? less in terms of money than in time standing in line like a dork. asking for a friend.

i fucking love shake shack

The meat industry is evil and i am evil for participating in it. So's your friend.

one time i found myself checking out their calorie counts trying to figure if i cld eat only shake shack without becoming morbidly obese

u can eat only anything without becoming morbidly obese, just somethings u can't eat v much

also ok i thought you did both for dinner and i was v surprised but nvm carry on

meant like feasibly jeez

Bobby's Burger Palace makes a rly good burger too AND THEY HAVE FOUNTAIN FANTA, DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS?????

what is "feasible" tho
think abt it

You will die sooner than you would if you ate a varied diet of mostly vegetables, some lean protein, and fruit.

Feasibly Jeez is my new 90's bar band name btw

The Jeez Feasible

what is "feasible" tho

shake shack
baby shake shack

shake shack is good

never had one of their shakes tho tbh

There is a shake shack at citi field that seemed to have 100 employees working at once

Eat about 20 shack burgers over any period of time and you will never crave one again. That sauce...

someone i think in the times described citi field as a food court with a baseball game in the background

p sure ive had more than 20 shack burgers

say one were to go to shake shack in battery park city for lunch tomorrow. would one have to wait in line forever like a dork? again, asking for a friend.

its like a normal take out place maybe wait like 5 mins at the most but prob less

the lines were when there was just the one location

ok cool

I've had exactly one (1) Shake Shack burger; it was p good

Treesh did you go to the one in rittenhouse or ucity? I bike by the one in ucity every morning but I've never been in, just the rittenhouse one

Treesh wanna go to shake shack next week?

The one in Madison Square Park makes you wait an hour even if there's nobody else on line! It 's a branding thing. You get a free cronut with your meal though.

ugh that's so fucking obnoxious

I've never had their shakes but they have a coffee shake and I wanna try that

Xp steve, i went to the rittenhouse one. I'll definitely go to shake shack with you whenever, they have the Brooklyn IPA there right now as their seasonal and it's pretty good. I know you're not an ipa person though, they also have other really good beverage options

can we go to the ucity one and judge all the upenn undergrads?

went to A Thing at some gallery tonight (lol I never do this) and heading home there was a Chipotle right fucking there and I joked about going there because I would never do that because I despise Chipotle. So I suggested going to Shake Shack even though it was a couple of blocks out of the way. But we headed there nevertheless but on the way were distracted by Trashy Mexican Food, Non-Chipotle and went there because that shit is a siren song to the husband. Should have done Shake Shake instead. But Trashy Mexican, Non-Chipotle is still miles better than fucking Chipotle why because decent margaritas at the very least.

Yes. Omg dude, on my block it's been like a constant frat party for the past two weeks and it is awful.

ya i dont f w those corporate tacos no way

g∞n wanna come to shake shack w/ me and treesh?

quince wanna get Trashy Mexican w/ me like every day forever?

but of course

I only fuck with Shake Shack's shakes tbrr

Treesh and Stevie have you guys ever been to Nifty Fifty's?

Kinda lame and quaint but also charming and I just can't quit it

thats messed up man the shack burger is so tite

I'll take a UPenn Shake Shake and raise my GWU Whole Foods. Dear god in heaven. I started working at the GW hospital over the summer and had No Idea what it would mean to have like a whole university arrive in the 'hood overnight. Nothing like a whole university arriving overnight in oh I dunno Bethlehem, PA

xposts see Stevie I luv you tons but Stephen is your Trashy Mexican go-to 94/7. I'm kinda like Legit Good Mexican or else default to good burger any day of the week. But man, does that man love him some srsly trashy Mexican.

i support trashy mexican

dayo that is so gd far out of the way!!! is it worth the trip?? what else is in that area besides i mean idk i was gonna say the Graffiti Pier but it's like miles and miles past that

One just opened in my hood in queens.

treesh my man I miss hitting the Shack w/ you

Never understand people who go to the Shack at Citi Field like there are Danny Meyer taquerias and Dave Pasternack seafood shacks just dotting the landscape

Even apart from the lines

Had it a couple times lately -- leaves me feeling pretty ill. Yuppie McDonald's, basically.

stfu dumass

The Shake Stack, custard and crinkle fries were all tasty, don't get me wrong, just don't like the way I felt after.

I think McDonald's is tasty too.

Their chicken sammich is better than the chic fil a one

yeah I had that last time it was good

their fries could be so much better than they are. especially for what they cost and you only get a little handful.

hurting you got too much food, that's on you not the shack.

I shared the fries and the custard though. I only ate like 1/2 an order of fries and 1/3 of
a custard.

y'all need to up yr shake shack game

fries are skippable at the shack imo, they're not exemplary just solid

Breakfast at Penn Starion now. Little can of Stumptown Nitro Cold Brew.

never read this thread before; it is great. craving shake shack now. i told the students in my advisory to share a goal for the year with me at the beginning of the school year and explained it did not have to be an academic goal, "for example I have a goal of eating at Shake Shack more this year." i am doing abysmally at this goal tbh.

Shake Shack has breakfast?

Their breakfast sandwiches use the same potato bun as their hamburgers. Not ideal imho

Lots of talk about stock price itt; stock now trading at less than half its peak, slightly below IPO value. Sort of strange because I do feel like it's kind of ubiquitous now, I was in a mall in Scottsdale and I saw one! Maybe people thought it could be much bigger and still profitable and they were just wrong?

i was at the penn station one last night!

missed connections

I wish they had a large order of fries for people who don't eat burgers and just want fries.

Shake Shack has breakfast?

Breakfast is currently available at the Madison Square Park, JFK, Union Station, Grand Central, Fulton Center, Penn Station, LAX and Dubai Airport Shacks.

similar phenomenon on west coast with The Habit expanding as the stock price continues to decline

think there will be a huge burger fight when The Habit meets Shake Shack in Denver

There is apparently a counterfeit Shake Shack in Tehran, which is intriguing.

whoa, I thought knew burgers but I have never ever heard of the Habit

There was a lot of talk about how it was way overvalued when it first started trading and it couldn't hit the growth needed to justify the valuation. Also, just anecdotally, yes, it is ubiquitious now, and it also seems unspecial and rarely super busy the way the old locations used to be. My whole theory about it to begin with (which seems to have proved correct) is that it was the kind of business that needed excitement and scarcity to thrive, like it was this "special treat" thing that people would go out of their way to stand in line for. Once it's everywhere, it loses that excitement, and then it doesn't really offer everyday foods you can eat for lunch at work and not feel like shit after.

sheikh shack?

Close!

Someone keeps editing the legit Shake Shack wiki page to put the fake Tehran branch in.

ha, nice work iran

sheak shack looks p good

Is anyone familiar w/ this place BurgerFi? Visiting family in Michigan and tried it, seems to be a Shack knockoff, similar design scheme (but w logo branded into top bun). Burger was alright. Good fries. They put sprinkles in my daughter's shake which I though was weird.

Biggest + was two veggie burger options (as opposed to the Shack's mere portobello choice) for my kids—a house made patty and one made by Beyond Meat—the pricey but convincing fake meat we sometimes use at home.....

i've seen one of those in Boston i'm pretty sure but never been in

i like eating shake shack for lunch. not heavy at all for a burger and for like $6 it's actually one of the cheapest things you can eat in manhattan. and if you use the app to order you can get in and out in like 2 mins.

treesh i miss it when you went on dates to Shake Shack w me

Me too. Great times.

I had the new chicken club thing a few weeks ago and thought it was delicious, that niman ranch bacon is tasty. But then tonight i had a burger at the fulton center location and it wasn't even good. And they fucked up my order, and the orders of the two guys who came to the pickup window at the same time as me. McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese is probably half the price of the double shackburger and better imo.

didn't really realize how good this place was, veggie burger and frozen custard is a dope late night snack

Yes chicken club seconded
Shit is crack

Chicken club is the deep cut of the menu imo

Still love the chicken shak, but overall I like this place less each time I go. I was at the one in Hudson Yards after being stuck in the mall due to hard rain and having no other kid-friendly option. Cramped, crowded, miserable experience, touch screens that didn't work, inexplicably long wait for food, people behind the counter refused to give us trays to eat off of for some reason, and the burger and fries are just not that good. Generally speaking I find all the locations I've been to have been really uncomfortable places to sit and that the overall experience is just not pleasant.

A few months ago, I walked by a Shake Shack in suburban LA that was a completely empty at prime dinner time.

I've still only been to the OG like 15 years ago when it was at MSP/Flatiron and you had to wait in line for way too long. Can't even remember if it was any good or not.

man alive OTM
The longer each location is open, the more oily and greasy and disgusting the interior becomes, the effect of which is just compounded by the hoi pilloi clamoring for napkins and soda cups and annoyed at the wait for their food

I was a skeptic from the beginning as this thread shows, but always basically liked this place -- I'm with man alive, though, the last couple of times I've had their burger, it was just... not that great. Not bad! But not great. In particular, this from man alive

it was the kind of business that needed excitement and scarcity to thrive, like it was this "special treat" thing that people would go out of their way to stand in line for. Once it's everywhere, it loses that excitement

feels right to me, I enjoyed it more when they didn't have it in my local mall and it was an "I can have this because I'm traveling" treat.

Or maybe the food has actually gotten worse, which is not an unreasonable thing to expect for a rapidly expanding chain.

The shakes are still good.

I love Shake Shack and In'n'Out, but can't even imagine going to mobbed hamburger restaurants at this moment

I mean, you order on the app, you pay on advance with your credit card, you're in there picking up the stuff for like 2 minutes, there's an indoor mask mandate where I live. If it were actually mobbed I might feel different but there were like four people in there.
