The restaraunt was super clean upon arrival. There was no one taking orders at the register and all 3 order screens had lines so I decided to just order online. Food was decently fast and tasted great. I'm a big fan of the west coast menu that they occasionally bring back. My biggest issue is that their fountain drink machine was working and there was no sign an employee was coming back every few minutes to tell people but drinks weren't 86ed. (They had canned sprite and Diet Coke) All no milkshakes. read more

I didn't expect a self service kiosk like McDonalds. I also didn't expect to have to give them a phone number just to order food that arrived at the table lukewarm with soggy fries. We were texted that it was ready over five minutes before the runner brought it out. Clearly it just sat rather than bringing it out fresh. The sandwiches come out loosely wrapped on a cafeteria type tray leaving one diner to have a clean eating surface and everyone else in the party having to sit their food in the table. A person in our party purchased a glass of wine and had to wait 5 minutes for an employee to come and approve the purchase at the kiosk but didn't bother to mention the store was out of the wine. This wasn't mentioned until food arrived at the table. My chicken sandwich was fine but would have been better served hot. The cheese sauce on the fries was just plain odd. $5 says it's velveeta mixed with mayonnaise and yellow mustard. The soda machine was down and they pivoted to canned drinks. No problem. But instead of a sign or an employee standing by their self serve kiosks, an employee periodically screamed that the soda machine was down from whatever corner of the dining room they were in. Clearly this wasn't my kind of place. Ive heard about it for years and expected more. For the price point I expected table service, a bit of professionalism and premium food. It's basically Sonic with avocado. Oh god, I forgot this. An employee asked if we'd prefer to see a written menu rather than dig through multiple kiosk screens and we said sure. The store has two menus. Literally two printed menus and one was on display behind plastic. I'm howling at the vibe. read more

My daughter and I stopped in on the way home for dinner after a long day at work / camp. We came in at about 530 and the girl on the floor instantly greeted us and throughout the meal she was attentive - but not overly so! I've had 10+ years of hospitality experience and noticed that she was checking without hovering - a great skill to have! I had never been here before, while she was cleaning I asked one of the kitchen staff how the process worked. He stopped what he was doing to help me with my question and he was so polite. Great team on tonight! Great food and shakes! 10/10 I ate all the food before I could get a pic! read more

When you walk into this Shake Shack, there is no counter to order. Instead, they have computers in the corner. It was a pretty easy system to figure out, but I can imagine someone struggling to order if they're not tech efficient. I ordered the chicken burger, green style. It had pickles and sauce. While messy, it was delicious. I also ordered a side of fries and they were perfectly crispy. The dining room is large. It was raining and it was packed inside so getting a table was difficult. Once we found a table, our food was brought to us and the staff were helpful and friendly. They got extra sauce for us and they were happy to accommodate with whatever we needed. After eating, I stood up to leave and the staff asked me if I wanted a refill on my tea, which is kept behind the counter. read more

Stopped by while visiting the area and was very pleased with my food and experience! I used the mobile app to order, the app said it could take 7-12 minutes to be ready so I submitted my order when I was 5 minutes away. I thought parking was going to be challenging on a busy Friday night, but I was able to park in a 10 minute parking spot very close to the location. I received a text that my order was ready just as I was walking through the doors! The shackburger was hot and the fries were crispy. I was happy with how fresh the food was. My friend raved about how great the Christmas cookie shake and it did not disappoint as well. You can order in app and they will offer promo codes (I received 20% off my first order but they also had a buy one get one free burger promo code). Would definitely stop by again! read more

My food was excellent! Got the Smoke Shack upgraded with pickles and grilled onions, fries with a side of cheese and a side of shake sauce. I was in heaven! The service was pretty good; order on the kiosk, seat yourself, they bring your order to the table. The main area was clean but the bathroom could've used some attention. read more

Your lettuce wrapped burgers are very inconsistent, sometimes I get a perfect amount of lettuce, sometimes I get two tiny pieces. And now that it's summer, you might want to fix your air conditioner in the kitchen because I got two shakes today and one was basically chocolate milk and your worker's response to me "our air conditioner, is broken, so everything is hot back here." Awesome, well I ordered a shake so that sounds like a Shack problem. Put up a sign that says our ice cream is too melted to serve right now. I live across the street, and love your food but consistency is lacking over there. read more

Good - limited time only chocolate shake was good, they do lettuce wrap. The burger was flavorful, but small. This is not a Five Guys, Fudruckers type burger:( Service - just okay, they acted like they were afraid to come near us, just wierd. And when they did, they kinda peeped around like they thought they had done something wrong. Ambiance - it's laid-back, noise level normal It's not a place I would go out of my way to eat at. The energy was kinda "blah", not exciting. read more

Classic Best of the basics Always memorable Must return Wonderfully wonderful No ambiance IS the ambiance read more

The food was good but the burger is kind of small for what you get and you pay a fortune. Just SO not worth it! Go to Paramount. You will get much better burger for your money! read more

We had lunch here yesterday. The establishment was clean, but the restroom needed the trash can emptied. It was 40 minutes from ordering to food delivery. It was very crowded with people waiting for their food. There was no ice for the drinks. The fries were warm, not hot. The sandwiches were hot and tasty, however the buns were so sad and flat. read more

Visited Shake Shack around 6 PM, and wow--it was really crowded, but I found a parking spot right out front, which was surprisingly nice for the Summit parking. Despite the rush, our food didn't take too long to come out. I ordered the Triple Shack Burger with fries, and everything was piping hot--so hot I almost burned my mouth! The cheese was perfectly melted, though, and it made the burger absolutely delicious. Service was efficient considering how busy it was. Will definitely visit again! read more

Finally decided to give this place a try and I am a big fan now - came back again within the same week! My wife and I stopped by with our children while we were in the area. Our daughter wanted a hamburger, so we got her a basic hamburger. I got the new korean chicken sandwich with gochujang sauce and kimchi on it. It was GREAT. I got it on the repeat trip too, lol. I also liked their fries with the cheese and seasoning on them - but really liked dipping it into the sauce that comes with their burgers. Needless to say, this is going to become a go-to spot for meeting friends for lunches. I'm a fan. read more

My dust time here and I didn't order a shake! The kiosks were extremely slow and seating was limited, but once we ordered and a nice couple gave us their seats, we got our food fairly quick. The burgers and fries were good, but $$$. $6 for a plain cheeseburger for a kid with nothing else? As good as it was, I don't see us returning very often. read more

After a day of shopping, I decided to stop by shake shack for a quick meal with my friend. Considering the hype that shake shack has been subjected to over the past few years, this location was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon. Notably, prices are somewhat pricy, with a standard shack burger coming in at over $10 after tax. Fries are an additional $3. I opted for fries and a hot dog, so my total came in at around a little over $8. The wait was higher than I expected considering that the restaurant was not extremely busy. But 15 minutes later, my food was ready. The fries were subpar, as they felt like frozen crinkle cut fries. I personally prefer freshly cut fries, so Shake Shack's fries did not impress me. Notably, my order of fries had a bunch of oily"crumbs." Basically, it felt like I was given the fries from the bottom of a bag of bulk frozen fries. On another note, I found my hotdog to be much better than a standard hot dog. The hot dog was slit down the center and charred. It had a nice smoky flavor, and I enjoyed the texture of the charred exterior. I also liked that the hot dog was longer than the bun, preventing me from getting a mouthful of only bread on my first bite. Certainly better than a standard boiled hot dog. Overall, I would not go out of my way to eat at shake shack. If I do end up here, I would skip the fries. The entrees are much more promising. read more

What am I paying for actually? Small burger with a paper thin patty and gummy bacon, barely any flavor, CRINKLE CUT FRIES, wayyyy over priced. I ordered on a tablet?? It's a no for me. I'm embarrassed to even say how much I spent on two meals.. won't come back. read more

Great experience and amazing food. They were welcoming and nice. The food was hot and fresh and the place was clean. Will be back!

Hmm, first time trying out Shake Shack and it was ok. I ordered the ShackBurger and wanted to enjoy it with the ShackSauce on the first try. Something was lacking, the burger nor the sauce had much flavor. I also took a chance on the Yuzu Honey lemonade, not bad but not great. This was my first time so I won't write it off completely. read more

Centered near the Summit, Shake Shack provides a convenient destination for fast and top of the line burgers. Shake Shack has a lack of scope in their menu, in part due to their marginal focus on burgers, but makes up for it in their diversity of burgers ,specialty options, and customization options. Pricing is high, and a lack of combo options leave individuals seeking a full meal limited in convenient options. Despite this, specialty burgers such as the K-Shack Fried Chicken Sandwich still can marvel customers and burger enthusiasts alike as the quality and care shines in the preparation and execution. read more

We tried the shack stack. It was pretty good in my opinion. Very cheese. The restaurant is very expensive. For just the burger we paid $12. We just wanted to try it. For the price, I don't think I need to go back but the burger was not bad at all. read more

Shake Shack never skimps on quality. Only reason they don't get 5 stars is that they're a bit expensive. To me the portions are fine and satisfying but to others it may be skimpy. I always get one burger but sometimes you need two. If you're gonna get a shake, pay the extra 50 cents and get a malted one. So incredibly yummy. Reminds me of my childhood and carefree times. My burger was delicious their special sauce really is something and I loved the cheese on the fries. Quality is always something I enjoy and some people may like 5 Guys or In and Out more but my favorite mid level burger joint is Shake Shack! Glad there's one in Birmingham. If it was located near Hoover Vestavia I would be danger. read more

Order at the computer kiosk. They will call your name, and you will receive a text message. Tables are spaced nicely both inside or outside. There are 3 TVs showing sports and low volume pop music playing. Smoke Shack burger comes with cheese, bacon, sweet peppers and sauce (like a horseradish mayo). It's a little burnt around the edges of the patty but otherwise the flavor combination is great. There's a little spice from the sauce, sweetness from the peppers and crunchy salty goodness from the bacon. Cheese Fries are super cheesy, and the cheese is mild. I might get the cheese on the side or skip it next time. I'll come back if I'm at the Summit and want a quick burger. It's clean, easy, and pretty fast. read more

I was able to stop by after grocery shopping, showcasing the availability and flexibility such a location allows. Shake Shack has a lack of scope in their menu, in part due to their marginal focus on burgers, but makes up for it in their diversity of burgers ,specialty options, and customization options. The interior prioritizes modernity, appealling to a newer generation through modern seating and ordering kiosks.

Overall I would give this place a 4/5 stars. Service was fast. When ordering you can either place an order at the cash register or order on the tablets near the entrance.Once ready, they bring the food to your table, which I really liked. The restaurants atmosphere was over all noisy but I enjoyed the music in the background. The only con I have about the burger would be how small the portion size of it is and for the price that we paid I would've liked it to be a bit bigger. The flavors in both were delicious. The Shack chicken sandwich was juicy and the shack burger wasn't burnt and tasted like a handmade patty. The fries were my favorite as I love BBQ. The seasoning was overall very flavorful but I didn't taste much spice. I'm very picky with my cookies and cream flavored but the shake was very creamy and had a good ratio of cookies and ice cream. The cream on top was very fluffy and so I would definitely come back and recommend this place to my friends. read more

I agree with other reviews the place is a little pricey. However, the food was good and we would be back again. The milkshake was kid approved. The burgers were great. They had some nice combinations already available to choose from, along with a build your own option. The fries seem to be undersized portions for what one paid. The cheesy bacon fries is what we had, the cheese seemed to be that out is the nacho cheese can at the fair. Figured they cut a corner on those compared to the quality of the rest of the food. read more

I would definitely consider this a great fast-casual option, especially for vegetarians. I personally have a hard time finding burger places that have vegetarian options, so it was nice to see that this place had 2 different options. They also had options that were gluten-free or a healthier alternative. I had ordered and gotten the 'Shroom Burger delivered to me, and I really enjoyed it. It was very different compared to anything I've had before. I do believe it would've been better if I had eaten it when it was hot and just made, but I was still very pleased overall. I'd say their prices are fairly matched with most other burger places, maybe a little on the higher side. As I had gotten the food delivered, I'm not sure how the customer service was, but everything in my order was made properly. I've seen this place before, and it is in a really nice location with indoor and outdoor seating. I would recommend trying this place! read more

I have been here a few times and Im definitely a fan of what they are doing here. Everything has been good. Service, shakes, burgers, sauces, fries, and other deserts have always pleased me and had me wanting to come back for more. The prices are right too! The only reason I havent been here more is that its not that close to my house. I really love the deserts. That Pie Oh My! I want to go there right now and get one of them. Be on the look out for a check in next week with a new picture of the current Pie Oh My! Order on the app so your stuff is ready when you get there! read more

Went here for dinner yesterday. Advertised two BBQ burgers and said they didn't have either. Okay, that's fine. They had three order for yourself kiosks and absolutely no employees taking orders themselves. Watched a girl walk in when the manager was up front to order and they told her to go order at the kiosk herself. What a joke. They give you table numbers when you order so you would assume they would bring the food to you...nope, they call your number and you go get it yourself. Seems pointless to give you a table number if you're getting the food yourself. My husband watched his burger sit ready for 5-10 minutes while they made our cheese fries because they ran out of cheese. Cookies and cream shake 10/10 service 0/10. read more

After all the hype died down I finally went to see if shake shack really was as good as people claim (as a west coast gal I wanted to see if this was superior to in-n-out since the two are usually compared). Shake shack's concept is "fast casual" but it just gives me fast food vibes (with a nice veneer). The burger I got was good, but it wasn't life changing. I think it's worth a shot just to say you tried it but I'm not sold on this fandom unfortunately. read more

Have been here before at the Chicago location. This place is known for their great quality of food as well as service and it usually comes at a price. For someone like me who grades food on price, often I may feel short-changed for an "overpriced" product. Shake shack has great quality burgers and its quite pricey, but after coming back again. and again. I'd say its worth it. The natural flavors and quality do show when you bite into their double stack burger or hot portobello and cheese stack burger. Sometimes, it may be better to come chow down here not in "buffet eating" mode, but rather "down-to-enjoy a good burger" mode. Will be back again. Great food for what it's worth. Great service from their staff and employee as well. read more

After attending the grand opening, I've eaten here two additional times. Once was to use a coupon I was given, and once because my daughter wanted to try it. I have to reduce my rating from 3.5 stars to 2 stars because I really think this place is way overhyped and overpriced. I stand by my opinion that their burgers are nothing special. Fries are nothing special (seriously, I can buy crinkle cut frozen fries from the grocery store, and melt some plain ole Velveeta cheese on them, and they'd taste the same, for a lot less expense.) One of the items I ate was a plain burger, like it had 2 buns and a thin, flat, fried slice of meat. I didn't expect it to be completely plain, so I didn't specify that I wanted lettuce and tomatoes and the cashier didn't ask me if I wanted any. The best things were the shakes, and even then, there are shakes that are just as good as or better than for less $ elsewhere. I will be spending my dollars and caloric intake at some other burger place in the future. read more
