    Double smoke shack, and fries with a Coke
    Ben B.

    The food came quickly and the burger was quite good. The fries were ok. I'm thinking maybe the fry oil needs changing. The service was prompt and cheerful. There's plenty of seating. The tv's could go away in my opinion. I had the double smoke shack and fries. The burger was awesome!

    Love Shake Shack and their style of burgers! We stopped in for a quick bite to eat - you can order at the counter, kiosk, or on the app. Service was relatively fast, it seemed like they had a lot of to go orders! We got the Chicken Shack (so yummy and juicy), Double Shack Burger (perfect patties and so yummy), and spicy fries with ranch (they actually had quite a kick! The ranch was great). Overall this is a great location in the CWE and has good service and great food!

    Great burger and fries, clean and easy to order. Some homeless lady was trying to beg for some money inside is the only reason for 4 stars and that is more about the area than the restaurant.

    I ate here while waiting for my flight. You order your food from an electronic panel, like a big iPad. I had to wait a bit for my food, but the wait wasn't any longer than at a typical Shake Shack. They had very little (no?) seating so I ate at my gate. The food was good, as good as I'd expect. I do think they were more expensive than usual though; my Smoke Shack burger, regular fries and a small Coke were $18; maybe that's because it's at the airport. Regardless, of the fast food places at Terminal 2, I'd say this is my new go-to place.

    Shake Shack in the Central West End is my go to burger place. The Smoke Shack is probably my favorite burger from any chain restaurant. While the Smoke Shack is the only burger I get, I always get a different shake or fries while I am there and am rarely disappointed. If it was only a discussion about the food Shake Shack would be a five out of five for me. That being said there are some things about this location and Shake Shack in general that leave a little to be desired. For starters, the prices are high for a chain burger place. I have seen some other reviews that say that this is specific to the STL locations, but regardless I always feel like I am spending more that I should be. As for the service, I feel very indifferent. I think that they are typically quick, but there have been some times where we have had to wait nearly 20 minutes when there is no one else in the restaurant. Finally, the Central West end location from an aesthetic perspective is uninteresting and leaves no real reason to stay and eat. All that being said, the Smoke Shack is my comfort burger that I will come back time and time again for! I just find myself ordering takeout more often than not.

    I love Shake Shack! One of my favorite fast food burgers. Plus the milkshakes are bomb. The fries are okay in my opinion but not bad. At this location, service has been good but not amazing. Food comes out pretty quickly. - Smokeshack (4.5/5): Always delicious, so flavorful. Love the peppers and the flavor of the burger. My go to. - Oreo shake (4.5/5): Super creamy, love the huge chunks of Oreo. - Cheese fries (4/5): A bit salty with the cheese, but still good.

    Came in a few weeks ago with the work crew for a goodbye lunch. A co-worker was leaving and loves burgers. He'd never been and was excited to try. Parking sucks, if you're able to walk or carpool, I highly suggest those options, otherwise good luck with finding a parking spot and be prepared to pay for the meters. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food is extremely overpriced and simply just OK........ I purchased an Oreo shake, small fry, single smokeshack, sauce on the side and 6pc chicken bite. The best part of my meal was the shake. The burger was lacking a little something, something. The fries were hot-n-fresh but still just average. The chicken I was taking home as a treat for my fur-baby but I ended up just giving them to my mother since I stopped by her house after work. My co-worker swore by the shroomburger, I should have tried that. I tasted Shake Shack when they 1st opened and my sister brought burgers to the house and it was really good. I don't know what's happened. I find this location to be very hit-n-miss. One occasion I stopped in after having drinks in the area with the BF and the place smelled sooo putrid we refused to stay and eat. I would have to highly think about returning.

    First time and it was enjoyable. The menu was as straightforward. The shake shack burger was a little small but tasty. I ordered and devoured the cookies and cream shake. The dining room was big and very clean. If you are dining in then they give you a number and they bring it to your table. They are pretty efficient. The downside of this location is the no parking lot and lack of close street parking.

    I feel like there is always a line to order and then a little bit of a longer wait for the food. It's still great, don't get me wrong. But, sometimes it just seems that the price of the meal doesn't add up to the size of the meal. It's pricey that some burger places. The parts of the burger that I do like is how they can make the patty a little more crispy on the ends. The fries are nothing special, but I always still get them cause they are a classic. I didn't picture the shake. Sometimes they have rotating shakes based on the season, so those are always fun to try. But, I think I've never been that big of a fan of milkshakes, so I would just give it a 3/5.

    This location is a hit or miss. Sometimes they can mess your order up, and sometimes they can knock it out of the park. Can't go wrong with their double smoke stack burger. Cheese fries is a must if you want to push it to the limit.

The pulled pork is some of the best I have ever eaten and the Mac and cheese was delicious. The burgers are exactly what you should expect from a good BBQ joint.

Anything that tastes a little bit more time to prepare they will bring out to you on the floor. Keeps things flowing very well. I got the four bones (baby backs), broccoli salad (premium side, one dollar up charge), and coleslaw. I also grabbed a piece of sweet cornbread with honey butter, and fried green tomatoes with a lemon aïoli. The bones were not rendered as much as I would've liked, the fat layers were still too thick. But the flavor was good. And every table has six different sauces and you can have as much sauce as you want. I tried them all, and my personal favorites were the Carolina mustard, and the Texas hot sauce. The white barbecue was also very interesting. But they're all good. Fried green tomatoes were terrific! Broccoli salad and the coleslaw were pretty tasteless. As was the cornbread. Really wouldn't describe that as sweet cornbread. It seemed a mostly just wheat flour cornbread. The honey butter on its own was really the best side. I'm not unhappy that I came here, but would I seek it out again or try something else in the area? I would try something else in the area. And for that reason I am leaning toward 3 starts. Although the staff is terrific and really hustles here, and that is why I have to bump this up to four stars.

    It goes without saying that not every restaurant deserves 5 stars but since I typically don't rate…read morefast food restaurants much, I have to separate this evaluation into its own category. It's not fair to evaluate a fast food restaurant against, for example a place like Ruth's Chris. With that said, as far as fast food restaurants go this is a 5 star fast food restaurant. Lee's definitely has the best fried chicken in the state. I live in California so when I come home for the holidays I like to get the junk food I grew up on and Lee's is one of my favorites. The restaurant was very clean but extremely warm. I was going to ask them to turn down the heat but I decided to sit under the ceiling fan and turn it to high. That helped a lot. I ordered the 5 wing plate combo. The wings came with a biscuit, two sides and a drink. For my sides I ordered baked beans and potato wedges. The crispy chicken had a great crunch followed by a very unique and slightly spicy flavor. The chicken was very moist and flavorful. If you ask for bbq sauce for dipping (free), it elevates the chicken even more. It also wasn't overly oily like some fried chicken places. The potato wedges were very good but a little under done. The center of the larger wedges were a bit too firm. The baked beans are phenomenal; a little sweet and spice that compliments the entire dish. I wish the biscuits were a little more moist but the flavor of the biscuits were spot-on with its flaky, buttery exterior. Accomplished by Lee's infamous sweet tea, it was an indulgent meal that I have about once a year. If you're ever in the area and your looking for some fried goodness, stop by Lee's. You won't be disappointed.

I wanted to pull out the drive thru line. But again my mother wanted me to just allow the disrespect from the rude lady working the drive thru taking the order. I will not be visiting any location from south city, north city are north county. I'm a person that believes in mannerisms. I always show mannerisms when I'm placing my order at any fast food location. I started out working as a food service worker. I know the ups and downs of having rude customers. So I don't want to make anyone job hard, especially being rude for no reason at all. Please do me a favor and close down all these locations mentioned. I will never eat here at any location, I've finally convinced my mother to not portinize this business at any cost. We will fry chicken at home and make our own famous sides like back in day. Covid-19 didn't teach the rude workers anything. But my family not visiting any Lee's location will. I hope all your locations go out of business.

I often saw the other location on Chouteau Ave but apparently this one was closer to hotel, walking distance wise. I regret not going to that location. When I arrived here around 10pm, the inside/walk up order was clocked locked up despite lights being on. There is no signage indicating the hours for that area, unfortunately. Since we already walked there and were hungry, I simply placed a pick up via their website around 10:18pm. Per the tracking, it said my order was ready about 10:25pm. I waited for drive through to clear and went to the window. It wasn't ready yet and I was told to go to the other side. Around 10:35pm, I received the food. My mistake was not checking the order but largely because it was cold and wanted to get back to hotel to eat it before it got cold. For starters, I peeked in the bag when it was given to me by staff and fries were everywhere! Then, Only 1 of the 3 sandwiches were correct! It wasn't even that busy! Order: Cheesy Bacon Clucker (Crispy), BBQ Pretzel Buford, and Pretzel Pubster Burger Combo! The clucker was correct but my Buford was missing the bacon AND the bbq sauce. The pubster burger only had 1 patty vs two and no bacon crumbles. There was no ketchup or napkins in the bag either. This was very disappointing experience. I would have been less upset if it was a regular burger but my bbq Buford cost more due to the extra toppings. I wasted my money. If I had a car, I probably would've went back but we were not going to go there and back in the cold.

Highly recommend if you love bold flavor and great value!
