Shake Shack

Best burger fast food of the Midwest. Also the only fast food burger chain I've eaten at in the Midwest.

The shack is excellent! Hands down the best honest burgers.

For me to prefer a cheeseburger without ketchup was an unknown sensation until now! The fries are crinkle cut perfection with the most palette pleasing amount of salt and crunch. I also had a tiramisu shake which is the combination of my 2 most favorite desserts. Shake Shack you have outdone yourselves and gained a loyal cheat day enthusiast!!

We happened to be nearby and in need of lunch. This place has good reviews, so we walked on over.

It's a cute little place - I love their seating in particular. The employees were wearing these great t-shirts referencing Pride month, which was nice to see. Being in a bit of a hurry, we all ordered burgers. They were hot and juicy and flavorful - really yummy - and the fries were good. Maybe not spectacular, but quite good.

Their prices are a bit high for being what is essentially a fancier diner; $5 for just a burger then $2.99 for fries is perhaps a bit much but not unusual. However, the $5.50 for a root beer float that consists literally of a cup of root beer with a single small scoop of ice cream is bloody well ridiculous! I expect the food prices to be a bit higher in the city, since the costs are higher, but the price for that float just killed me. Particularly as I'd gone there for that. Given that their name is "shake shack", I figured their ice cream things would be particularly good. The shakes might be really good but that float wasn't worth the price, let alone writing home about...
