    The building
    Doug B.

    I have always been curious why almost every Shake Shack location has a three star rating. I love a good burger, so I finally stopped by their Costa Mesa location to give them a try for the first time. All orders are placed at one of three kiosks just inside the front door. Take one of the stands with a number on it, enter that number on your order, and then a staff member will deliver your order to your table when it is ready. The inside of the restaurant is somewhat small, with just three booths and four tables. They have a nice patio outside which with about ten tables. Half of the tables have an umbrella over them, and there are also a few heat lamps for when it is cold outside. I ordered the Avocado Bacon Burger. It had a nice soft bun, and all of the ingredients were in plain view. I took the first bite and it was delicious. The proportion of ingredients was perfect, and I could taste them all in every bite. I wasn't super hungry, so I only ordered it with a single patty. I think next time I would order the double patty to get a little more of the beef flavor in the mix. This burger was very good, even with just a single patty. I also ordered a side of onion rings which were very good. The serving size was average, and they were nice and crispy and not oily. They have several dipping sauces which you can add to the order for free. My friend enjoyed his double ShackBurger, crinkle cut fries, and banana custard shake. I had some of the fries and they were fresh and crisp, and they obviously just came out of the fryer a very short time ago. Yes, they are a little on the expensive side, but there aren't a whole lot of bargains out there for a good burger. I definitely don't understand the three star average rating, and I would be happy to dine here again or to try another location.

    Shake shack slappps. The burger has tons of flavor and is a good size. Their shakes are creamy and amazing and their onion rings and crinkle fries were perfectly crispy. A lot of times I don't love crinkle fries but these ones are great. A good competitor to in n out

    We gave Shake Shack Costa Mesa a second try after a less-than-stellar experience a few months ago, when our takeout order was incorrect (something we didn't notice until we got home). This time, we decided to dine in and ordered the OG--ShakeBurger, both a single (with onions) and a double (without onions). The wait was reasonable for a Saturday afternoon, and I like this location for its ample parking and plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. The store was clean and well-maintained. While I liked the soft buns and fresh toppings, I found the patties disappointing. I understand the appeal of a smash burger, but these were overly charred and dry. At nearly $10-$15 per burger, I was expecting something more flavorful or distinctive. After two visits, I still don't quite understand the hype. Just not for me.

    ShackBurger single $7.99 with crinkle cut fries $4.49

    I've been to other locations of Shake Shack, but this was my first time at the Costa Mesa location. They're located on busy 17th street so you can't miss it! Lots of parking available in front and on the sides. I pulled up right when they opened at 11am and there was only one other person who came in after me. I ordered my food to go and they put it in a box so I could eat it in the car. The order taker was not very friendly - just matter of fact. I don't expect much but a smile would be nice. I ordered the ShackBurger which comes with cheese, tomato, lettuce & Shack sauce for $7.99. It's a good burger but the bun is a little rubbery to me. I also got an order of crinkle fries for $4.49, which were way over salted. There are better burger places out there, but if you're in the area and craving a burger, this will do.

    Single shack burger, cookies, and cream shake

    This burger was so delicious. I added onions and pickles, and they were so fresh. The fries were cooked to perfection and so thick. The cookies and cream shake was amazing as well. It had very big pieces of cookies. The service was also very fast!!

    Download the app! There's some good offers/coupons like free fries or free burger with a $10 purchase. I agree with other yelpers that it is a little pricier than other burger places, $8-10 a burger that's not that big. However taste wise it is still delicious! And I love their crinkle cut fries as well! I ordered the truffle burger this time, some good light truffle flavor (I probably would just get their Shack Burger next time). I also tried their chicken nuggets, not bad! Reminds me of chick fila nuggets but this one was more crispier and had better seasoning.

    Heard about the Dubai chocolate Milk shake and had to give it a try, so I popped into this Shake Shack in the OC since it was the closest spot to me. It was later in the evening, so the place was pretty chill with hardly any crowd. The store was super clean, and the staff were really nice, which made the visit pleasant. I ordered on the kiosk, and my shake came out in like 5 minutes which was nice and quick! The shake was decent, but I was expecting a bigger chocolate punch. It had this thin chocolate coating on the outside, which was good but not mind-blowing. Overall, it was a solid stop, and the clean vibe and friendly employees made it worth it.

    Good food! Was very clean throughout the building. Service was fast and we did t wait long. Food was made fresh and hot! Shakes were so yummy!

    Ordered from their new location recently (where pancakes r us used to be RIP) on 17th st. They were offering a Bogo deal on their truffle burger so how could I refuse ? My order came thru in good time and I of course opted for lettuce wrap. I highly recommend you go with a bun on this particular order as it be on the salty side with just lettuce. But overall the burger was juicy, delicious and the fragrant truffle came thru in every bite so no complaints there. Seems like they're getting a bad rap lately but the burgers are still solid in my opinion compared to the other options and I'm also glad there's a location closer to my home now. Overall, highly recommended for any burger aficionado that has a hankering for a quality tasting burger, they definitely satisfy the hankering for a burger fix! Happy Eats!

    The service was great. The employee was very helpful answering questions. This was our first and last time going there. We won't be back as the burger was very flavorful. I ordered a cheeseburger with crispy onions but their meat patty even though it's got a lot of flavor is so thin almost thin like two stacked crackers. it had great flavor, but for two burgers, one chicken sandwich , two fries two drinks $67 Definitely Was not worth it. Due to price of shakes we didn't get them.

    I ended up having work on veteran's day but luckily my team bought us free shake shack. Ended up getting a cheese burger combo. It was good but honestly I probably woulnd't pay for it since it's pretty pricey for a small little burger. I would need 3 or 4 of these to get full. Fries were good though and lemonade was lemonade. However $9.59 for a cheeseburger that size is not worth it to me. Maybe if it was a double? Sorry Shake. Team In n out.

    CUP OF PICKLES. THANKS ADRIAN
    Emmy H.

    So shake shack is getting the 4 stars because the employee man king Adrian offered to bring me a cup of pickles !!!! Which is the world's greatest gift. And then he give my dog a treat!!!!! Shake shack branded cookie for coopy. Lowkey the food was mid, like the fries were fire obvi, but I got the grilled cheese and I'm not picky so I'm not complaining but it was just lowkey sad asf. I def would never spend $6 on it again, it was flat as fuck lookin like 2 pancakes with a slice of orange cheese between. Was like room temperature, meh. But pickles hit the spot and the patio was pretty nice to sit at with my dog and best friend. Overall, the employees and fries were the highlight--and my dog's was the treat !

    I've passed by The Crack Shack many times when visiting Hi-Time, and I finally decided to stop in…read morefor lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There is a good sized parking lot behind the restaurant. The ordering counter is on the front side of the building. Once parked, you can either walk around the building, or walk through the open-air covered patio. I walked around to get a closer look at the unique chicken-head Beatles' Abbey Road mural on the side of the building. The menu is obviously chicken-focused, and features various sandwiches, wraps, and salads, along with several sides. They also have a small breakfast menu served until noon on the weekend. After ordering, they will give you a number and bring your food when it's ready. I really enjoyed the dining area, which is a covered, open-air space with a high ceiling. I sat in one of the booths towards the front. Each booth has a classic painting on the wall with chicken heads on it. There are also many different types of tables thoughout, and more seating upstairs on the second floor. There is also additional seating in front of their full bar. I had the Coop Deville sandwich (fried breast, pickled fresno chiles, pickles, napa cabbage, lime mayo, artisan brioche bun, $14.50). The chicken breast was thick and piping hot, and had a great crunchy crust on it. All of the ingredients went together well and I loved the flavor. The bun was very fresh, and the sandwich wasn't as messy as I thought it might be. I was still a little hungry, so I went back and ordered the regular sized hand cut fries (regular size $4.50, large size $7.50). They are tossed in schmaltz (chicken fat) and a light dusting of spices. They were hot and fresh, and the regular size was way more than I could eat by myself. They have a self-serve sauce bar with five options on tap including ketchup, Srirarcha T000 Island, Sweet Baby G's BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. I dipped my sandwich in the BBQ and Srirarcha Thousand Island, and my fries in the BBQ, ranch, and pineapple mustard. They have a cornhole game towards the back, are dog friendly, and host trivia night on Thursdays. I enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and would definitely return.

This time I got the tenders and they are completely overcooked and crunchy (in a bad way). I think if the food was just a slightly better value I would feel taken advantage of each time I go there.

However, my brother decided to take me today since we didn't have a lot of time and we were in the neighborhood and it is a favorite of his. First of all I was thrilled to see sweet tea on the beverage list and it did not disappoint. I'm also giddy when I watch that pebble/nugget type of ice fall from the beverage machine into my cup. I love that type of ice! So I was already happy to be there before I even received my food. We sat outside and it was quite comfortable. I was able to carry on a conversation with my brother even with the busy street nearby, it was quite impressive. Our food came out quick and although it was tasty, what blew me away was the amazing outdoor service from Gabby. She was super attentive without being overbearing with a genuine hospitality and friendliness that made you want to make her your friend. Gabby remained efficient & professional while balancing her warmth and charm (that smile is infectious). Outstanding service! Gabby could teach others a thing or two about proper customer service in food service :) I enjoyed the entire experience. From ordering, to eating (the "palate pleasing" chicken tenders, hot & crispy crinkle cut fries and oh-so-yummy-Texas Toast) outdoors being taken care of by the fabulous Gabby. I will definitely add Raising Cane's to my list of great dining options!!!

It had this nasty, dirty, metallic aftertaste like the soda machine hasn't been cleaned in who knows how long. How does that even happen? Five drinks and not one tasted normal? For the amount of money you spend here, the bare minimum expectation is clean, drinkable soda. It completely ruined the whole meal. We had to throw all of them away because they were that bad. It's honestly embarrassing for a restaurant to serve something like that. If the drinks taste like that, it really makes you question what else isn't being maintained properly. Super disappointing experience. I expected way better. I won't be coming back if this is the kind of quality they think is acceptable. Had to go out of my way to McDonald's to buy drinks there really inconvenient..
