Shake Shack Takeover
Reservations
This session has concluded.
The Meaty Details
The time has come. We've held off on an official club rating of Shake Shack up until now, and we all know what it tastes like, but it's clear that we can no longer call ourselves a truly legitimate Burger Club without having a proper rating on the 'Shack on our beefy books.
That said, if we're going to do it, we're going to do it right.
So come my filet-feasting friends, and let us gather together on a summer Saturday. We shall have sneaky drinks to help pass the time as we wait in the interminable line, we shall dine al fresco with the glorious NYC nature surrounding us, and when we're done we shall venture out into the summer night for further libations and celebrations, frolicking like a wild pagan solstice bacchanalia.
June 4, 5PM. See you at The Shack.

The shack burger is a very solid harmonious sandwich of beef... But the truth is, this particular burger was over shadowed by Andrew's shack stack that was so massively superior... An explosion of artisanal cheese ("cheez") wiz within a hot chrunch-which was a mushroom- A vegetable that typically ov
Classic amongst the classic, Shake Shack never disappoints. If the coffee custard counted as a side it would take a 10. Fries with cheese are good, today they were a bit dry but it is forgiven thanks to the honorable burger named Shack Burger. Hell yeah I'll come back! (🐮)
Shake Shack felt good, on the whole. The Shack Stack burger is topped with a cheese-stuffed slice of fried portabella and it's changed me for the better. The park was an excellent venue, Andrew bucked the trend of disappointing everyone and anyone, and the weather held out until we finished our ground beef pounding hammer time session. Good times all around.
I'm so glad this is so easily available. The Shack Stack is a great argument against purism. Andrew is still pretty good. Handsome, bombastic, grandiloquent.
Though the meat takes a back seat to the bacon on this one, the bacon is undeniably amazing and irrepressible. The cheese sauce is relatively subtle, adding just the right amount of saltiness and smoothing creaminess. The buns, as on all Shake Shack burgers, are relatively thin and gently blend into the background, more meat-mitts than the massive bread loaves some furnish their burgers with. Would eat again. And again, and again!
Perfect evening and venue! A delicious, fulfilling, but not overwhelming, must repeat burger. Andrew as a person gets an all time high of 5 after chivalrously shielding me as I very carefully hovered in a Manhattan public bathroom/sidewalk
Fantastic burger but does not approach the glory of the Triple Shack. (Yes, I just ate 4 burger patties).
This was glorious. I've been sleeping on the Shack, but the Shack Stack was revelatory. The combination of a phenomenal griddle patty and potato roll with the genius of a deep fried mushroom with four cheeses was...magnificent. The fries were on point as always, and the line was short and full of secret boozing. It's not the complex power of a Black Label or similar patty, but this is just a magnificently pleasing burger experience. Well done you Danny Meyer, you saucy son of a bitch.
Don't waste your time on fries. Meat is what it's all about!
