    Ordered via a tablet but server was nice enough to offer to take my order. I decided on a Crispy Onion Cheese Dog. Pretty delicious but I made the mistake of ordering Cheese Fries. Too cheesy and I already had cheese on my hot dog. Onion rings were good but I had crispy onions on my hotdog too. My bad but I would come back and order smarter

    Double Shackburger and Fries
    Ashley D.

    It had been a few years since I'd visited Shake Shack. I don't remember being thoroughly impressed, but remember it as only OK. I then flew on an airline this summer that offered Shake Shack burgers and it was decent. I saw online that they had some deals in October, so my son and I came to grab dinner. We customized both double shack burgers and ordered fries and drinks. We placed an order on the app. My son ran inside to grab it when we arrived and it was ready on time. Very easy pick up. We drove the 10 minutes home and our burgers were still in great condition. The lettuce which I expected to be wilted, was still nice and crisp. The burger itself tasted great. The fries were fine, nothing special, but a good crinkle cut fry. The drinks, I love diet coke, so thank you for having coke products!! Overall the food was better than I expected and we both enjoyed our meals.

    My kids and fur babies love the burgers from here. We occasionally get the shakes. For the Fur Babies: Custard Pup cups with a dog cookie and salt less patties. There is outside seating. It's not on the menu board. Ordering: You can order on the app, on the kiosk, or with a staff. If you order in they give you a number and bring the order to you. Shake Shack doesn't have combo meals and you have to order separately. Military Discount: 10 percent. Not sure if you can get the discount on the kiosk. Discounts: Download the app to preorder and get discounts. Burgers that we like: My kids like the Shack Burger. I like the Bacon Avocado Burger. I wish they had kept the seasonal mushroom burger on the menu. It would be great if they offered a kids menu. Service: It has always been friendly. If you order in they will bring out the food to you. Parking: Free, it can get busy. It's next to a residential building and other businesses. If you like burgers this is a great place to try!

    Came here for a late night burger. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as Gravity Heights and Spill the Beans. There's plenty of seating areas, they're pretty quick with the service, and they're open late - so it was exactly what we needed. I got their shack burger and cheese fries, which were both great and hit the spot. They also have a spicy cheese fries for a limited time, so I'd recommend trying that before it goes away. Good to note that they do have vegan options, as my friend is vegan and she was able to customize their vegetarian burger to accommodate her.

    It's was pretty good. We've been to other locations and this was was pretty good overall. The one big negative is my husband's buger was really Salty. Pros: * Good burgers: we recommend making any burgers a double * Nice Staff * Easy checkout with the kiosk * Very clean inside and we were impressed considering how busy it was Cons: * One of the burgers was extremely salty. Extra: * Limited parking * They show the calories for everything on the Kiosk if that is important to you * There is outdoor seating.

    Been here a few times. I have not been disappointed. Service is amazing. Staff is very helpful and go out of their way to help you. If you don't order on the app, you can order inside at the counter or kiosk. I have come to like the shack burger lettuce wrap. It replaces the bun for lettuce. I also like the different flavors of lemonade. The restaurant has plenty of tables. The times I came to the restaurant were during peak hours so the parking lot was usually almost full.

    Chicken Shack
    Maria C.

    Took advantage of their B1T1 Chicken Shack deal and added some Shack Burgers. I am impressed with how tasty the meats are and how crispy the breading is at the chicken shack. I love how the Shack burger patties were cooked almost medium rare. It's soooo flavorful!! The fries were a little cold, but the burger made up for it LOL!

    Single cheeseburger - gluten free bun
    Kayla H.

    My first experience at Shake Shack and I was pleasantly surprised! The burgers and fries were great. The vanilla chocolate milkshake was pretty runny, I would not recommend it. Also, the gluten free bun was pretty dry, however I still appreciate the option!

    Tykeshia J.

    Food: I got the stack shack or something like that. The burger was huge with the fried mushroom with good cheesy goodness inside. Shake: the banana shake was so good. I wasn't hesitant at first. But glad they recommended it to me. Service: the staff were welcoming and very helpful since this was my first time ever eating shake shack. So glad I visited today. I'm stuffed and happy.

    Cheeseburger and fries

    About once a quarter I crave a shake shack cheese burger. It's a step above fast-food, casual, and this location's dining room has lots of seating. Shake Shack Mission Valley is located in a mixed-use commercial zone, and parking in the lot can be tricky during busy times. Street parking is available. The service is pretty straight forward - order at the register or at the iPad kiosk - and someone will bring out your food when it's ready. Overall good experience when I'm craving a cheeseburger and fries.

    Ordered two single burgers with cheese for us. Also ordered a side of onion rings with ranch dressing and garlic Parmesan cheese fries. One fountain drink for my wife.

    This is a great place to hangout and grab a great burger. The service is hit or miss but it's more because it's self service to the right of the entrance where their are screens to order your food the way you like it .Especially if you have a buy one get one ( BOGO) you have to enter yourself vs the cashiers right in front of you. I think it also applies if you use deals too you order within the app.Also you assign yourself a number in the screen and take the placard sign with you to your table and they will bring it to you! Burgers and the crinkle fries are always freshly cooked when ordered . They have chicken, milkshakes , lemonades, soda and adult beverages. The esthetic is open air, and wood which is beautiful with lots of window space and TV's to catch a game. The price is healthy but with the ingredients and freshness. It is nice to indulge .

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well. I ordered a latte and neglected to tell them it was for here so I was given a paper cup, but they give real cups if you ask. The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

The decor and setting is cute and quirky, including cow sculptures hanging upside down from the ceiling. There were only a couple other visitors when we arrived, as it was near opening time. Our dishes took a whopping 35 minutes to be ready, and service was not very friendly nor helpful. Luckily, the music playing through the speakers added a nice vibe to the place, songs like Our House by Madness and Can't Fight This Feeling. We ordered the brunch pizza (with eggs cooked overeasy) and the breakfast flatbread which looked almost identical when served, as well as an iced mocha. The quality of the pizza was pretty average, and the eggs were slightly overcooked. The drink was really good, made fresh, with a smooth taste and a nice sweetness to it, the plastic cup coated in chocolate sauce. It tasted more like chocolate milk with a hint of coffee, which I personally enjoyed. They typically serve gelato here, but it would not be ready till almost two hours after opening time. So no milkshakes or cold desserts were available in the morning this past Sunday (no worries, Ghirardelli is just a block away). I appreciate the variety of menu items offered here. But they really should communicate online that their gelato's not ready till two hours into the day. If there's one thing that irks me about an establishment, it's failure to communicate appropriately. Even though our recent visit was somewhat disappointing, I still gave 3 stars, assuming this was an off day for them.

I've worked in Little Italy in the past but have never tried Caffe Italia. I got their Italian sandwich, with the default bread being focaccia. Inside there were prosciutto, salami, ham, provolone, tomato, and house made balsamic vinaigrette. It had a good balance of deli meats, and the focaccia bread was thick to hold it all together. I thought it was tasty as well as their coffee, however my coffee wasn't filled up all the way. It is strong and their roast is bold! I liked it a lot, although a lunch meal can get costly so it would just be from time to time if I were to revisit. Not only that, but they also have a small selection of gelatos which look pretty authentic like Spumoni! Other desserts I saw were mousse, tiramisu, cannoli, cheesecake, carrot cake, and rugelach. The cafe is small and the service may take a bit if you are waiting for the food, but overall, I enjoyed my coffee and sandwich.
