    Burger
    Tammy N.

    We occasionally enjoy burgers at Shake Shack. The burgers are juicy and love the fries as well. My only complaint is with the ordering method. The kiosks. There's always an issue. Always. Last time we were there it took 10 minutes and finally an actual person to come over and fix the situation. People lined up waiting. That's a problem. Hate that! I know companies are trying to save money by not having to hire more employees, but this is a pain in the a$!.

    Skimpy, skimpy, pitiful puny basket of fries. Cheapest thing on the planet and they charge almost $6!!!

    I don't know what is is, but once again, Shake Shack has not made the adjustment. Its costs $4.49 for French fries and the pitiful little basket is not a good value. God forbid you want cheese or bacon on it, you probably have to apply for a loan!

    They truly make a great burger, fries and shake! The burgers are flavorful and you can taste the quality of the meat. The only drawbacks are the prices, as they are bit higher than most. But, they often offer deals and make it a wonderful treat for my family. Staff is usually very friendly and prompt with orders. It's a 5 star in food quality and taste, but with the prices and the constant push for social agendas that many don't agree with, they are unfortunately a low 4 overall.

    I can't complain. The food always good and definitely filling. The double SmokeShack was a huge meal on its own and the added chopped cherry peppers, a nice touch with a hint of spiciness. The milkshakes here are very delicious and their new lemonades are a nice finish to wash down every bite. Come visit them and see what your favorite meal is ;)

    This Shake Shack is closest to me and I've ordered via Uber Eats a couple of times during the pandemic. I recently popped in to order food to-go and had a solid experience! We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday and it was rather empty which made ordering a breeze. There's also plenty of seating both inside and outside. The outside had heaters and ping pong table which are fun touches! To eat, I finally tried the Colorado specific Green Chile Cheddarshack which comes with shredded white cheddar, marinated green chiles and scallions. It's a great alternative to the regular Smokeshack burger which is my fave. It has just the right balance of heat and was cooked perfectly! We paired our burgers with fries of course. To sip, they had limited edition lemonades and we tried the mango passionfruit one which was tasty! It's always hard to choose between that and a milkshake but this was a good alternative. Overall, everyone was friendly and we had a seamless experience. Would definitely come back when the cravings hit!

    Would give this a 3.5/5 but rounding down since there wasn't really anything special and seemed pretty average across the board. Kind of expensive for what it is but still good taste. Ordered the smokeshack which had their special sauce, bacon, and cherry peppers on it. Good heat and taste although wasn't that hot when it came out.

First bite of the burger was cold, I don't know how that could happen when They just made it. The cheese wasn't even melted. I'm guessing that they pre-cook the burgers and then maybe just heat them back up. It was very dry. The fries were such a big disappointment couple squirts of sour cream and maybe one slice of cheese which I paid over $10 for. I had to interact with the person one more time and again they were just snarky. Everything about the places, uncomfortable from the seats to the employee.

Even though every table was full by 12:15, the staff was hustling. Our server checked on us multiple times and our Hoffens Burgers were excellent. There was plenty of goat cheese, avocado and roasted red pepper. Definitely crave worthy! I loved the curry crema dipping sauce and ate it with my fries and burger. It was very loud for about an hour and then the place began to empty out and the noise level was more tolerable. I noticed they had some specialty cocktails that were new so I'll be heading back soon to try those. Quick additional tip: We tried to go to dinner at 5pm tonight (granted it's a Saturday) and even though the restaurant looked almost empty we were told it would be an hour wait for our party of 6. I feel like we could have eaten and been out in that time but we weren't given a chance. The hostess didn't seem very sorry to see us leave so I'm rethinking coming back any time soon.
