I would maybe be more impressed by shake shack if I weren't from california but that place really just seems like a pretty good generic burger place to me? except for the concretes, those are good.

I just don't get where the amazing magic part comes in. good quality patty tho the rest of the burger is only 'okay'. fries are not bad but nobody would go out of their way for those fries alone.

shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city. i've never waited more than 10 minutes, i don't think, just have to be smart about when and to which you location you go.haven't been to lucali, but the place owned by the dude's brother, giuseppina's, was amazing and empty. especially liked the calzone.

^^^ leaked tracklist for new Wolf Eyes record
it's small, greasy, and beefy, with a lovely soft bunxxp
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:38 (twelve years ago) link
for me at least it's this certain salty char they get on the burger. it hasn't had it every time I've gone but when they get it right it's the best.
― chjips ahoy (sandbox dmr), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
the flavor of the meat is amazing and the grease works its way perfectly into the rest of the set up
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:40 (twelve years ago) link
want one
sounds like they are using doctored meat
I will try one next time I am in NYC and I will hand down my pronouncement upon the shake shack

this is where the shake shack meat comes from http://lafrieda.com

no wai the bun is tits xp
I think I just prefer a firm bun? ya ya no pun intended. anyway I don't think it's bad just not transcendent. prob better than 5 guys but I go to 5 guys more cause I like eating peanuts while I wait.

iatee how does shake shack compare to in-n-out
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 17:54 (twelve years ago) link
omg 5guys isnt in the same league as shake shack, in n out is great but its sort of a diff thing, more of an irl really good fast food burger
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
I agree 5 guys isn't the same league it does have peanuts and they are in the area I am when I am hungry, more often
in-n-out is better on every level, also way cheaper.
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:14 (twelve years ago) link
in n out is awesome and cheap but lacks the haut rigor of shake shack
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's like low high-culture vs. high low-culture

shake shack burgers are tasty but they are so greasy that they make me feel a little ill and they are not quite delicious enough to merit that.
― bene_gesserit, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:26 (twelve years ago) link
most other burgers make me feel ill due to their size/amount of meat. shake shack doesn't do that. five guys is so unremarkable.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
5guys is good but kinda gross
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
ya that's why you have to prep your stomach w/ a layer of peanuts
― iatee, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:54 (twelve years ago) link
for the burger that's fried in peanut oil and the fries which are fried in peanut oil
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
yo bro heard you liked peanuts
shake shack rules, by far the best burger in the city
This is ridiculous unless you regard a burger only as something you get at a fast food chain (or, as you indicate, you don't really like meat). It's very good as far as that goes, and certainly better than In 'n Out, which I guess might beat it on fries, as Shake Shack's aren't that great, but even those too are pretty boring there. Yes, In 'n Out beats Five Guys on most scores.

C.K. Dexter Holland, what is the most you would pay for a really good burger
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
Shake Shack also has good dogs. Not quite Hot Doug's, perhaps, but more convenient.
Oh, and the alcohol offerings.

i find the opposite to be true - the shake shack burger is just not filling, but the double is gross feeling in the stomach. the ideal nyc burger for me will always be paul's.

What does it come with? I'm going to say $16, maybe 18 if it's really special.

Solution - the shack stack, or a burger and a dog (which is a little much). I never eat the fries.
