Nice format of having all the condiments (including lettuce and onions and pretty much anything that doesn't need cooking) at the condiment station. That way you get just what you want.

The lattes are still delicious for my morning drop by, they post seasonal specials on the window which is fun. I had an oat milk honey & cardamom latte once that was fantastic!

Amazing how their prices have only gone up about $2 after almost 7 years, including after being featured on the Food Network in Guy Fieri's show "Best Bite in Town" (which they won with the Thai Sausage)! Anyways, it's a snug little shop where the food is prepped right in front of you. I ordered the BBQ Bacon Dog and my wife ordered the veggie chili. Our food was prepared quickly, and both items were delicious! The hotdog was about a footlong - thin but very tasty! Came with a full strip (or two) of crispy bacon and toasted to perfection. The chili was also very flavorful with a bit of heat to it! Would absolutely recommend this place for a quick bite you can eat while you're walking around downtown. Will be coming again soon!

Simply. SO. YUMMY…read more Maybe it's because I haven't had a real burger, fries AND a shake in a while, but this hit the spot in a way I wasn't prepared for. This was my cheat meal and honestly... zero regrets. I got the Double ShackBurger, no bun, fries and a Coke Zero. My mom got a Double Cheeseburger with ketchup and pickles only, and we got my son a vanilla shake and fries. Everything was hot, fresh and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy, the burgers were juicy, and that vanilla shake was exactly what a vanilla shake should be. Sometimes you just need to stop pretending you don't want the fries. The wait time was completely reasonable, and the staff were genuinely so kind and friendly. Even the young man working the front counter brought our food out to us, which I thought was such a nice touch. Honestly, I walked in thinking, "Okay, this is my cheat meal," and walked out thinking, "Yep. That was absolutely worth it." Great food + great service + happy kid + happy mom = 5 stars from me.

The Atmosphere Finding a seat at Montgomery Village is…read moreusually a tactical maneuver, but tonight the place was virtually empty and--more importantly--actually clean. It provided a rare, sterile calm that felt almost misplaced for a burger joint, but I'll take "spotless" over "sticky" any day of the week. The Spread The kitchen is still hitting its marks on the essentials. The ShackBurger, bolstered by those salty, crispy onions, remains a masterclass in fast-casual engineering. The fries were hot, crisp, and sufficiently drowned in cheese sauce, exactly as the gods of sodium intended. To wash it down, the red wine in a can was surprisingly decent--not a vintage to write home about, but it certainly beats a soda fountain cup when you're trying to elevate a Tuesday night. The Misses It wasn't a perfect run. The vanilla and chocolate custard was notably off--texture or temp, something just wasn't right, which is a rare fumble for a brand built on "Shakes." The Service The staff were perfectly friendly, though they seemed to be enjoying the empty dining room as much as I was. A bit inattentive, perhaps, but when the burger is that consistent, a little extra time to contemplate the canned wine isn't the end of the world.

The inside decor was like an old Mel's dinner from the old days with bench seats with some holes and patching. Haha The place was clean though. I reviewed their pictures and they served real garlic fries and not the flavored garlic power kind. I love fries with real garlic bits on crinkle fries. We also had their junior cheese burger with pepper jack cheese with everything on it. The burger itself was juicy but no flavor. It's not the real fresh ground beef flavor kind but it was good enough. I still added a little salt and pepper. I liked that it was the right size for me and my hubs to share and try. We also had onion rings which were ok and garlic fries to share. The garlic fries were a little oily though but good. Had to add a little salt to it though. We also had their shakes. They used Dryers ice cream so I opted to have cookies and cream. Very good and nice and thick. Was happy they don't charge for extra for ranch sauce. The staff was helpful and friendly. If I was in the area, I wouldn't mind coming back especially the garlic fries and shake. Food was good enough for a quick meal.. Decent prices. [90R,2025]

The portion is great! I love the brioche buns that are used because they are nice and doughy and soft and keep the temp of the whole thing warm. They offer a few cheese options so you can mix it up if you're like me and like to fet the same thing but a little bit different depending on mood. I got the pepper jack this time and have had the regular jack and the American Cheese before. Cant decide which i like better. The staff has been different each time, but all of them are nice and they work fast which is a great benefit when your hungry lol. Its in a shopping strip right to the left of a pizza shop (i wont name them here to keep focus on Phyllis') but i will say that as soon as i order my sandwich I walk over and get some cheese bread and pizza for the kids. Makes picking up dinner on tyw go easy!! Inside Phyllis' looks like any other dinner-ish type, you order at the counter then pick a table and can watch tv while you wait and/or eat. Seems like more people take out than dine in, but could be just about the timing. I guess that would make it quiet ambiance with some decent background noise so your not sharing you story with the whole place when talking lol the lighting is nice and bright too!
