    Oreo Cookie Funnel Cake and Banana Pudding limited-time shakes. $6.49 each plus $0.50 each for limited-time sprinkles. Pride.
    Daniel B.

    We went to Shake Shack West Midtown this past Sunday. The burgers and shakes were delicious. These are still some of the best burgers around anywhere, not just Atlanta. Having gone to several locations inside and outside of Georgia over the years, the brand has done a good job with quality and consistency across locations, in my opinion. A few things that set this location apart, from my experience: 1. Better presentation. Whoever prepared our burgers on Sunday did a terrific job with the presentation. Shake Shack burgers are already, by design, supposed to be presented nicely. However, the burgers that we got here looked extra nice; a bit more care and detail went into their presentation. I appreciated that. Take a look at my pictures to see what I'm talking about. 2. Temperature. We dined in. Our burgers were freshly cooked and quickly served. They came out very hot, off the flat-top griddle. I actually had to wait and let the burgers cool off a bit, at first, before continuing to bite into them. 3. Greasier. I could just be misremembering or it's what I ordered (the Carolina BBQ Burger with Fried Pickles), but the burgers here were greasier than I remember the burgers at the other locations being. I also had some of my wife's ShackBurger to compare to the other locations. Anyway, we all generally enjoyed the food and service was good too. This is a solid Shake Shack location. For more details, keep reading. This Shake Shack replaced Yeah! Burger at Westside Provisions District (WSPD). Yeah! Burger was a fixture on the Westside for 12 years; it opened on June 10, 2010 and closed on June 11, 2022. Shake Shack then opened in this spot about six months later, on December 20, 2022. There are eight Shake Shack locations in metro Atlanta at the time of writing this review, in late June 2025. We parked in the nearby WSPD garage and paid $4.50 to park. Currently, the self-parking rates are: 0-2 hours $4.50, 2-4 hours $6.50, 4-8 hours $11.50, and up. Unfortunately, Shake Shack does not validate unlike other businesses at WSPD (e.g., lululemon validates). If you've never been to a Shake Shack before, the restaurant style is American fast-casual. Like other locations, this one has self-serve ordering tablets (4). If you dine in, you take a number and your order is served to your table on a tray. The West Midtown restaurant space is contemporary in design and aesthetically appealing. The storefront, patio, and outdoor step seating look nice and blend in stylistically with the higher-end WSPD look. The dining room inside and the patio outside are sizable. The patio is covered and has fans and string lights. Here's what three of us had: Burgers * ShackBurger (Double $9.99) - cheese, lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce * SmokeShack (Double $11.49) - cheese, bacon, cherry peppers, ShackSauce * Carolina BBQ Burger with Fried Pickles (Double $11.99) - pepper jack cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, tangy-sweet Carolina-style BBQ sauce Sides * Fries ($4.49) with a side of ShackSauce * Fried Pickles with Buttermilk Ranch ($4.99) Shakes * Oreo Cookie Funnel Cake ($6.49 plus $0.50 for sprinkles) * Banana Pudding ($6.49 plus $0.50 for sprinkles) The ShackBurger was terrific as ever. It's perhaps the quintessential cheeseburger to me. The ShackSauce differentiates it. Shake Shack's ShackSauce is like McDonald's Big Mac sauce or In-N-Out's spread. All are mayo-based, creamy, sweet, and tangy. In comparison, I believe ShackSauce is slightly less sweet and slightly more tangy. It's good and also perfect for dipping Shake Shack's crinkle-cut fries in, which is why we got a side of it. Shake Shack's fries are pretty standard. This was my first time having the Carolina BBQ Burger with Fried Pickles. I thought it was good, but not great. I prefer the traditional ShackBurger. The Carolina BBQ Burger had a lot going on with the bacon, barbecue sauce, and Fried Pickles which, while I don't mind them, I'm not the biggest fan of. The burger was too rich and intense for me. So, I'm not knocking the burger or the person who made it because objectively, I think it was executed well; it's just a personal preference. This is only the second time the Carolina BBQ Burger has been made available by Shake Shack. It's part of the company's 2025 Summer BBQ Menu. They debuted the burger as part of the Summer BBQ Menu last year (2024). The Fried Pickles side is new as of this year. My wife liked them, but they were just alright for me. The portion size here was underwhelming and disappointing. I don't think they gave us enough. The Banana Pudding shake was excellent. Both it and the Oreo Cookie Funnel Cake shake are also part of the limited-time summer menu. The shakes were hand-made/hand-spun (I caught a glimpse of the staff making the shakes). The 50-cent rainbow sprinkles are also only available for a limited time: June and July 2025. The ingredients are better quality than typical fast food (e.g., 100% Angus beef, cage-free eggs).

    Perfect location, delicious food, awesome service. Clean restaurant and restrooms! We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and grabbed some shack burgers and chicken sandwiches with shack lemonade. It hits the spot every time! The restaurant is super cute and trendy. I love all of the tile detail on the walls and neon signs. Plenty of tables and seating inside. There was some parking available directly outside but we chose to park in the public parking garage across the street using Park Mobile.

    Pulled up here to meet my cousins for a fun Saturday Burger and Shakes. We were excited about the Peach Milkshakes. Located off Howell Mill I opted for the Valet parking. Right across from the Shake Shack. Ordering was easy. They have kiosks.. but because the Peach Milkshakes were out we couldn't complete our order on the kiosks..We had our hearts set on that Peach milkshake .We ordered at the counter. I got Strawberry shake instead. I ordered the Shack burger with cheese and bacon.. it was nothing to brag about, it had a ok flavor. Strawberry shake tasted like Vanilla and they threw a strawberry in. We sat outside on the patio. It was cool until I felt the bugs biting. I probably was just being paranoid. One of the managers came out and asked how everything was. We voiced our opinion about the Peach shakes. He offered apologies.. they didn't think they would sell out like that . Insert my twisted lip and sarcastic remark.. " Peach Shakes . In the Peach State of Georgia .. you didn't think they'd sell that quickly, REALLY" They do allow your fur babies (dog) on the patio. I probably won't be back anytime soon. You go and judge for yourself.

    We came here to grab frozen custard. I initially got chocolate because it's my favorite but it was very grainy ( not smooth) so I asked to switch it to plain vanilla, which was much creamier. I'll return to try out the food.

    New (at the time of the review) to west midtown is shake shack. Located right beside brash coffee and across from ornsbys is this burger spot, perfect after drinks at holiday or other spots around the area. There's inside and outdoor seating, and they have self ordering kiosk inside located to the far right of the counter. Food was pretty good.

    Check your food y'all...got served a moldy hotdog last time I went. Love shake shack but this location never fails to mess up or forget some part of my order.

    Over cooked burger.

    Shame on you! My burger was thin, over cooked and not satisfying. You've got too big and lost your quality!

There is a large sign on the side of building. Entering from the street, there is a ramp down to the counter and seating area. Seating is mostly tables with a few stools at the counter. There is a sign above the counter on the right for takeout orders. The menu is simple. It's fried chicken. There are sides like slaw and baked beans with a few appetizers, but mostly it's chicken. Once our order was placed, it only took about ten minutes to get our food. One thing we noticed while waiting was the cook was checking the internal temperature of each piece of chicken as it came out of the fryer. This was very much appreciated and ensured every piece was cooked to perfection. Constant quality checks like that show they take their product seriously and do not rely only on a timer to tell them when it is done. All the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. While moist, the meat was not dripping with juices that ran down your arm or left a puddle on your plate. All the flavor was locked into the chicken. The baked beans were good, maybe nothing special but certainly a good accompaniment to the chicken. The slaw was also decent. The mac and cheese was good as well. One note of caution. The chicken seasoning is spicy. If you are used to large chain spicy versions, this is more than that. The flavor is great but the spiciness will get your attention. As long as you are aware of that, you will very much enjoy this chicken.

The look, the signage, the old-school feel, all of that is part of the charm. That said, the entire restaurant feels like it is overdue for a refresh. Not a redesign. Just a cleaner, more polished version of what is already there. Keep the character, keep the history, keep the nostalgia. Just make it feel cleaner and a little more cared for. The food itself was pretty underwhelming. Nothing was especially BAD, but very little was memorable either. For a place with this much history and reputation, I expected more. I'm glad I checked the box. I guess I understand why people come here, and I understand why it matters to Atlanta. For me, though, this was a once-and-done experience. Glad I went. No real desire to go back.

We were ordering takeout so she told us to walk around the side to the bar to order there. The seating area is large with mostly tables and a few taller long tables with stools. There is also a limited amount of seating at the bar. The ambient noise was a bit loud and would be expected to be even higher when crowded, but overall what would be expected from a bar area. The bartender was very friendly and efficient. I had received a menu from the hostess so was able to quickly select what I wanted. The food took less than ten minutes to arrive. The Taco Trio special allows you to select almost any three tacos and a side for a reduced price. My selections were the Baja Taco with fish, the Spicy Santa Fe with chicken, and the Southern Comfort with chicken. The selected side was the Baja slaw. The Baja taco is what would be expected. The Baja sauce is nice and the fish was cooked properly, soft and flakey. The Southern Comfort was surprisingly good. The chipotle bbq sauce was a great addition and added a lot of flavor. The best of the trio was the Spicy Santa Fe. It was essentially the Baja on steroids. The chicken in both tacos was moist and flavorful. The Baja slaw was a massive disappointment. It had almost no flavor other than shredded cabbage. There was no liquid residue in the container, so this was either unmixed before pulling my portion, or it is prepared this way. Either option is very disappointing, especially when it is obvious they are able to prepare a good Baja sauce. Still, the tacos are fresh and flavorful, the price is right (just over $16 for the trio special), and the service friendly and efficient. They even have some arcade games in the entrance near the hostess counter. It can be a decent place to spend some time and eat some good food.

We had to wonder up the steps from the sidewalk to make sure it was open. Street level, it is hard to see up in here and it looked like no one was in the dining room. But when we got up there to look at the menu, we noticed that it was open and were greeted by the hostess. Still thinking that this place was empty and we were given the option to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose the bar once we knew it was an option. Then that's where we were clued in to how big this space was. Behind what we thought was the wall to the kitchen was actually the other side to the restaurant. Sitting at the bar was a good choice as we were greeted and off and running. After looking over the menu I went with the Taco Trifecta which allows you to choose three tacos from their list, excluding the lobster and birria. With that I chose the Baja Fish, Southern Comfort, and Mac Daddy. I added a side of tater tots to make it feel like a meal. My complaint, and this is my only complaint, is the price for a side here. For what I paid, I should have gotten more than eight tater tots. I know it's a side, but that is less than an order of fries at a fast food place. As far as the tacos, yum! I went through these in a particular order, in the order of how excited for them I was. It didn't hurt that I got one beef, one chicken, on fish. I started with the Baja Fish. White fish, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, cilantro and chipotle aioli. You could tell this was fresh, but the least favorite of the three for me. Then I dug into the Southern Comfort. Grilled chicken, cotija, grilled onions, fried pickles, and chipotle bbq sauce. What made me want this one was the fried pickles on it. The mix of flavors was amazing and this really worked. The Mac Daddy is basically a take on the Big Mac. Smashed burger batty, American cheese, special sauce, sesame seeds, shredded romaine, tomato, pickles and diced onions. This was by far my favorite. I really enjoyed this one. If I were to do this again, I might just get three of these. While dining I glanced around this place. How interestingly it was decorated. Then let your eyes glance up. That is when you will notice the decor and the tie in to the name. Mostly, if you just glance quickly, you'll notice the buckets. But look closer and you will notice the garbage cans, but what really got me was a mailbox used as a lamp shade. Totally unique.
