I like it, in that it tastes good, but there is a still better. Great business though, I never hate on using hype to your advantage.

I really don't like Shake Shake. Tried it a couple times and was always disappointed... So many better burgers out there.

It's good but not worth waiting more than a few minutes for.

I guess I have the advantage of locations back home in Connecticut with no lines!

The regular burgers are ok, but the shack stack is my favorite burger, ever. The fried portabello mushroom stuffed with gooey muenster and cheddar cheese... Mmm. I regularly eat burgers at many different places: Burger Joint, Donovan's, In-and-out (animal style!), five guys, umami burger, Bobby's burger palace and more... and the shack stack is definitely my favorite so far.

Only been to the one in Citi Field. It wasn't bad. I don't know if it lives up to the hype though.

I really like shake shack for what it is, a mid-tier burger. Way better than fast food, but will not compare with an all-out gourmet burger. I they also don't overcook the burgers, which I appreciate.

Hmm Shake Shack? That's a yuppie hybrid version of Mcdonalds with the long lines of Magnolias cupcakes. Shake Shack is alright, could be better, but has good service though.

Have a cheat day for f's sake. You're supposed too. We also only live once. Try it if you want to.

Five Guys and White Castle are the top of the food chain as far as cheeseburger establishments go, for my money.

Cheeseburgers aren't supposed to be upscale food. I don't want fancy.
