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!

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$!.

Front counter

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.

SmokeShack and Cheese fries.
Alexandra D.

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!

SmokeShack
Robbie R.

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.

Right after grabbing a beer at Sanitas, I wandered next door to C Burger and thank God I did…read morebecause the second the lager hit, I needed a bite. This place knows what it's doing. I ordered: Classic Burger - Double patty, American cheese, pickles, onion, ketchup, mustard. A textbook smashburger with crispy edges, juicy patties, and a soft, pillowy bun. Tallow Fries - Golden, crispy, and indulgent. Like fries got promoted to main character energy. It was honestly the exact meal I needed -- no notes. I left full, happy, and ready for a nap (which I 100% took when I got home). If you're in the area, hitting both C Burger and Sanitas Brewing Co. is the move. Can't wait to go back.

We finally needed their help so they reluctantly came over to help us. I put in my order and couldn't believe the price but figured it's gotta be good. Our food I could see was ready so I went up there and it was just sitting there on the counter, waiting for somebody to pick it up, but never was told to come get it. 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.

Zig Zag is one of my favorite go to places for lunch or dinner. I have never had something I didn't…read morelike and the service today (as usual) was excellent. 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. First time not being welcomed there. So my tip is - even when you think a restaurant is casual - MAKE A RESERVATION. (I really didn't want to eat there twice in one week anyway ;)

Me and The Hubs stopped in for lunch recently. After perusing the menu, I decided on the ZZ's…read moreCheesy Burger that comes with American cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, comeback sauce, and is served with fries (I asked for cheddar instead of American cheese and added some sliced onion since it doesn't come with this burger). The Hubs ordered the Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich that comes with bourbon bbq sauce, creamy coleslaw and pickles, and is served with fries (although he swapped out the fries for more slaw). Everything was delicious! I had my burger cooked medium-well and it was perfect; it was still slightly pink inside and moist. While the burger was very tasty, one major plus was that it was also structurally sound (all the ingredients stayed inside the bun and the bun didn't fall apart)! The Hubs also enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich. I tasted the bbq sauce and the slaw that came with his lunch and both were amazing (I dipped more of my fries into the extra bbq sauce that came with his sandwich than I did into the comeback sauce). The fries that came with the burger were crispy, not greasy and not overly salted. While I only had an iced tea with lunch, I did peruse their specialty drinks menu. Wowza, is that a read! We'll be back sometime soon for dinner so we can check that out. BTW, their food menu is more than burgers and sandwiches and there are some nice sounding items that appeal to me more for dinner than lunch (two examples (1) Hoisin Ginger Tuna: Sashimi-grade tuna seared rare, parmesan risotto, arugula slaw, (2) Pesto Cream Salmon: Pan seared salmon crusted with parmesan breadcrumbs, penne pasta, pesto cream sauce, cherry tomatoes, roasted red pepper). Despite this restaurant's location next to a boarded up vacant restaurant and being right next to I25, the interior is surprisingly nice and welcoming. And our server was friendly and helpful. So no complaints here!

I can't eat one in a single sitting. This is a small, Korean owned, fusion Korean/burger place. And as such, is unique and absolutely worth checking out. I cannot recall having a burger that was good it made me smile. John, world class manager, welcomed us in the second we walked through the door.

Both were elated with this meals. I ordered a chocolate shake for the road and it was exceptional. It had an old school throwback burger diner feel to and I loved it. Very colorful. There is great outdoor seating as well. This place is a huge hit and rest assured, we will be back. Thank you John, for making out lunch a new experience in fusion food and treating us so well.

Some folks like things bland. We aren't those people. And, to be fair, as we say at the bar and watched orders come out, it was fairly clear over time, that one guy was cooking and expo'ing - he also brought out the orders. That's a lot for one dude. Kudos to him. Adding salt and pepper, seasoning the patties and grilling the BLT toast would raise this rating quick. Easy fixes are always the best. Ambiance? Def a bar feel. Nothing special. Felt a little bland with theme. Maybe bring the "castle" inside? So much you could do inside with the decor (or lack thereof). That aside, it was cool to se the walls of beer mugs. Will we be back? Probably not but ya never know.
