    The shakes are good, there is no question about it. They only come in one size though and are very pricey. I had a burger and fries which were about average, but also very pricey. I'ld go back for the shakes but not for the burgers. Even then it would only be a once in a while treat just due to the cost alone. It's a cute place though, with friendly servers and a nice outdoor seating area full of park tables lit with overhead Christmas lights. There is no inside seating though so plan on taking it home if it's raining.

    Seriously?

    We discovered this place the year we got married in 2016, and it used to be one of our favorites. Unfortunately, it has really gone downhill. At a burger spot, you'd expect pickles to be standard--or at least a decent dill option. Instead, when we asked, the cashier (who was very unfriendly) said they charge extra and they're "different & homemade." $3.60 later, we regretted it. The pickles were spicy, unpleasant, and honestly tasted spoiled. My mother even said, "These aren't pickled right--I'm going to be sick." On top of that, they forgot the Shake mustard sauce on all our burgers, and what they did offer for sauces was poorly presented and underwhelming, frankly embarrassing. This place used to be a gem for us 10 years ago. Sadly, in 2025, it's an F in our book.

    Serviceable burger but no great shakes, if you'll excuse the pun. The meat was good, but the flavor/seasoning was nonexistent. The fries were awful. The service was just OK. You could get something better at McDonald's for half the price, frankly.

    When in town, we have tried their burgers numerous times. This trip I opted to try their chicken sandwich with green chilis. I really enjoyed it! Would definitely order this again.

    Before I made my way to Santa Fe, I did some research on the best green chile burger. Shake Foundation came to the top of the list. While I came to Shake Foundation for the green chile burger, it ended up being my least favorite item. I couldn't taste the chile, not much else, really. I decided to add some ketchup and mustard. The salted caramel shake was really good! When they say thick, they mean THICK! The fries here were also quite good. I would definitely try them out again. There were some other good items on the menu.

    We happened to drive by Shake and needed lunch so we tried it out on a whim. I was surprised to see the lower reviews, we had a solid lunch! There is no indoor seating here, there are plenty of tables outside if the weather is nice and they have a cute little set up. It was snowing when we arrived so most were grabbing food to go or eating in their cars. There are two main windows - one to order at and one to pick up your food. You get a buzzer after ordering that lets you know when it's your turn to grab your food. The menu is mostly burgers plus fries and ice cream. We tried a single cheeseburger plain, the fries, and the spicy chicken sandwich. My partner also tried out the ice cream (vanilla with chocolate chips on top). The cheeseburger was very good, as was the chicken sandwich! The fries are shoestring style but more on the limp side. Not my cup of tea but the flavor was fine and they were fresh. The ice cream was excellent. Overall cute spot to grab a bite to eat!

    Fantastic fries and some stellar ice cream! I came around lunchtime on a Saturday and the parking lot was pretty filled. It is an unpaved lot and could be an issue for small cars, my small SUV had a lightly difficult time leaving because of a little dip by the exit. I ordered the buffalo burger and a cherry ice cream sundae with piñon on top, as well as split fries with a friend. I would say the fries were comparable to IN-N-OUT style, crispy and about the same size cut. The cherry ice cream was so good, I'd go back just for that. They also had decent quality whipped cream and you can't go wrong with good whipped cream on a sundae. The burger was lacking in flavor and a bit small (but filling!), in the future I'd probably just opt for ice cream and fries because that's really where its at anyways.

Very interactive, friendly, jovial, very interactive and going above and beyond to make us feel at home and answer any questions that we might have about their menu. As outstanding as the service was when we placed our order at the counter. The food itself blew everything out of the water. My cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun with green chilies, grilled onions, pepper, jack cheese, and all the accompaniments was probably one of the best burgers I've had in a very, very long time. Outstanding. My dining companion had her burger with green chilies and grilled onions and pepper jack cheese, and all the compliments served on a sopapilla bun. She said it was not good, it was marvelous, stupendous outstanding. The sweet potato fries were outstanding... Crispy, tasty and the serving was huge We were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time, but it had a friendly vibe to it and dislike a down home friendly Mom and Pop restaurant. I have tried to make as many notes as I can to make sure next time my man, Santa Fe that I grab a real burger. This place was off the chart good. I wish I could give it more than five stars, but that's my limit.

Now, the tamale oh my goodness I've never had such a moist tamale maybe the best tamale I've ever had. The pupusa was delicious and they didn't skimp on the cabbage salad. I expected something different with the beef stew. It was much thinner and Brosier than I expected, but it had an absolutely delicious flavor and plenty of meat.

The server also failed to tell us that we could order only off of the one menu that fit the exact time of our visit, which happened to coincide with the time that they switch from offering lunch to the time they serve dinner. The cheeseburger was very tasty. The grilled salmon tacos were good but served with flavorless beans and bland rice. Not a place we'd refuse to visit again, but definitely not one we're eager to return to either.
