BURRITO SHAK JUST ROBBED EVERY OTHER BURRITO SPOT OF THEY DIGNITY 4016-D Battleground Ave, Greensboro, NC 27410 (336) 499-0990 Mon-Sat 11AM-9PM | Sun 11AM-8PM I walked into Burrito Shak built like a starved raccoon. I walked out overloaded, slowed down, and spiritually fed. Soon as my shoe touched that floor -- NOTHING robotic. NOTHING dry. They locked eyes, smiled, welcomed me in, and THANKED me for coming. That already told me this wasn't one of them "hurry up and order" trap kitchens. This was care. This was pride. First time ever in there, and the menu started whispering threats. Too many bangers. Too many possibilities. I'm standing there sweating like I'm about to defuse a bomb. Then the manager slid over and dropped the legendary words: "Try the meats... (pause)." And listen... They weren't playing with me. Samples started landing in my hands like stimulus checks. Fresh off the grill. Steam still gossiping. Seasoning disrespectful. Meat tender like it knew it was special. One taste had my eyebrows raised. Two tastes had me pacing. Three tastes made me forget my original plan. By the time I finished sampling, I wasn't choosing food -- I was drafting a first-round pick. I locked in on the carne and the chicken salad, and the second that plate hit my hands, I knew I had made a life-altering decision. This food had: Flavor that argue back Seasoning that don't ask permission Meat so soft it surrender immediately Portions so heavy they felt personal Halfway through I was full. Three-quarters through I was bargaining with my stomach. At the finish line I was victorious... but humbled. NOW LET ME GET IGNANT FOR A SECOND... MOE'S? That's cafeteria confidence. SALSARITA'S? That's "we trying" energy. CHIPOTLE? That's luxury pricing for struggle scoops. All three of them combined still can't match the portion weight, flavor pressure, and respect level Burrito Shak putting out SOLO. Them other places be like: - Light on the rice - Nervous with the meat - Attitude behind the counter - And energy like you inconveniencing them Burrito Shak be like: Heavy scoop on everything Seasoning with intention Food actually hot Service actually fast Staff that actually like people This ain't fast food behavior This that "we tryna dominate the block" behavior. TY = OFFICIAL CERTIFIED REAL ONE Now shout-out Ty -- service was locked in from the first second to the last bite. No rushing, no fake energy, no confusion. Everything smooth, professional, and handled with pride. That's the type of person that turn a first visit into a permanent return. And the whole crew moved the same way. No weak links. No bad attitudes. No laziness. That kind of unity dangerous in the food game. FINAL VERDICT -- NO FILTER This wasn't just "good." This was aggressively good. The food smacked. The portions violated. The service uplifted. The vibe confirmed. I walked in hollow. I walked out patch-worked together with rice, meat, and happiness. If you still bouncing between Moe's, Chipotle, and Salsarita's, I don't know what trauma you loyal to -- but you deserve better. Pull up to: Burrito Shak - 4016-D Battleground Ave, Greensboro (336) 499-0990 Mon-Sat 11-9 | Sun 11-8 This spot ain't just good... THIS THE TYPE OF PLACE THAT MAKE YOU SIDE-EYE EVERY OTHER BURRITO YOU EVER ATE. read more

Swung into Burrito Shak for the first time because I don't often find myself up this way, and it was pretty good. Totally met expectations, but certainly didn't blow me away. It's a more beachy themed casual burrito joint in the vein of a Moe's or Chipotle. I'd say after my experience that it kind of slots in the middle, not as pricey as a Chipotle, maybe a bit more so than Moe's, but better flavors. When I went yesterday the staff was friendly and attentive, even engaging with customers that already had their food a bit. Order was taken, prepared, and paid for quickly and the restaurant was very clean. Hard to ask for more from the staff. I ordered an Aloha burrito with pork as my protein, and had it prepped pretty much exactly as it is described on the menu, but also added some corn and fresh jalapenos for a kick. Came with chips which were good and fresh, and sauntered up to the salsa bar. The winner on the salsa bar was the chipotle salsa for sure. The salsa verde was very bland, and the medium pineapple salsa verde thing... actually had turned. You could see bubbles in the salsa, and upon tasting, it was fermenting! As pineapple tends to do if you let the acids work. Anyhow, the burrito was aligned with my expectation. Pretty tasty, but nothing that would have me raving about it. Some of the ingredients couldn't be tasted at all, others like the pineapple slaw stood out as flavorful. The pork itself, was both moist and dry. You know, that texture when shredded pork sits in it's juices for too long, like a crock pot. I would definitely choose a different protein next time, maybe the fish. Overall, an ordinary, but solid experience. I don't see myself making a special trip, but wouldn't turn it down if someone wanted to go there. read more

What a refreshing new option for a burrito bowl. The Burrito Shak, located in the tiny strip with Papa Murphy's pizza near Harris Teeter. The restaurant is clean and colorful. There is plenty of space and seating. Most importantly (outside of the food, of course), the staff was very helpful and kind. I could not make up my mind. I did, however, take pleasure in receiving the offer to give things a try to help me make my decision . I wanted to try the tofu--I HAVE to try the tofu wherever I go when I'm in the mood for it, because it can definitely be a hit or miss. This time it was a HIT! The tofu was seasoned very nicely and went well with my TI style bowl. The TI style comes with Rice, Beans, sour cream, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Sweet Chili Slaw. I got everything as it comes minus the beans. To my absolute delight, the sweet chili slaw was a phenomenal addition. To be honest, I was a little hesitant, but I said why not. If it's an option, I will definitely ask for a bit more of that in my next bowl. I absolutely loved it! With my order, I received chips and my choice of salsa. I did not eat all of the chips, but they were nice, light, and crispy and the salsa was good with a nice amount of heat. Burrito Shak was a WIN for me. I'll be back! read more

As always we love this place. The food is great and the staff are super nice and friendly. We had the Shak Tacos which I ordered some queso dip also. They also have outdoor seating which was really nice for today. The salsa bar made a great addition to our chips and tacos. They have about five different kinds of salsa ranging from mild to super hot. They are located at 4016 Battleground Avenue near the intersection of Battleground and Horse Pen Creek Road. read more

Was really excited to try this. Maybe I'm just old school was a little bougie for me, but it still tasted good. It was a lot of food and you paid the price for that food. The server was great answered all my questions made me an incredible burrito bowl. But I'll probably sit this one out again just cause I like the way I make my own, but if you're looking for a lot of food, you can share lots of new flavors and options than this is a place to come. read more

Nice experience. Local well organized, cleaned, staff a little confused and nice flavor. A good option for a quick meal during the day or afternoon. You can also personalize your burrito and made the way you like. They just could improve the presentation of the plate and packaging to go. read more

Super clean and beachy cute! The restaurant decor is tastefully done and the color scheme is refreshing. The food is fresh and for the life of me I don't know why I would ever go back to Chipotle! The counter service is welcoming, the Baja Vinaigrette is better than Chipotle. This location has a Salsa bar and you can try all of them. I really enjoyed eating there. The meal was good and the sauces were great! The staff is nice, the food is good, the restaurant is clean... there isn't one negative thing to say! Keep up the good work! read more

My family loves Burrito Shak! I used to love Chipotle, but it's too far away and Burrito Shak fits the bill. The ingredients are fresh and service is quick and easy. I love the S Turn with either chicken or asada, don't forget to add fresh jalapeños! What's great addition to the Summerfield/Northern Greensboro part of town. Don't take my word for it, check them out yourself! read more

Chipotle?! Never heard of her. This place blows all the popular national chains out of the water. No contest. And the prices are far more reasonable! I laugh as I write this because I didn't know what to expect. The "chains" are generally known for their burrito sizes and I worried they may be small here. Y'all. This burrito is so huge I can't even convey it in photos. It's also extremely flavorful, fresh, and the chicken is well seasoned. I ordered to go online and it was a quick, seamless process! The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean from what I saw. The staff member that helped me was friendly and welcoming. The only room for improvement might be the burrito wrapping, it was a little loose and sauce leaked out into the bag but no big deal! The burrito still held up and was easy to eat aside from its size. The next time you're craving a burrito (or tacos or a quesadilla!) make sure you satisfy that craving at Burrito Shak. Can't wait to go back! read more

You order at the counter similar to a Moe's or Chipotle. read more

Burrito Shak in Greensboro checked every box for me. They had great customer service, a large menu, clean establishment, and delicious food. My sister and I happened upon this place after running an errand on our lunch break and we decided to give it a shot. So thankful we did! I'm trying to be a bit healthier so I opted for a salad topped with tofu, green onions, cilantro, slaw, cucumbers, pico de gallo, and guacamole. I got the poblano crema on the side. That was the perfect topping! So full of flavor! I loved their salsa bar and the variety it provided. This place is a similar concept to Moe's or Qdoba, but it has a flavor all its own and sets itself apart from the others. You should try it for yourself next time you're in Greensboro. read more

Burrito Shak - Tofu B-Shak Salad - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is my second review I told y'all I was going to go back and try their queso and guacamole! Store was clean and service was kind. It was a bit busier today. This time I placed a mobile order. My burrito was ready but I had to wait on the guac and queso. Grabbed some salsa from the salsa bar but their were no lids?? The following are my opinions solely. I have to say I do prefer white queso (which is thinner and creamier), however their queso was much better than Chipotle, because it was smooth and had a good flavor, but I think Moe's has the win for the queso. The guacamole was ok. I say this because I prefer chunky guacamole and theirs tasted like they mixed a pre-made guac (like whole guacamole) with a few chunks. Chipotle definitely has the win from me on guacamole and taste fresher. I chose The Rincon Burrito today. I had no issues with the burrito. It was a good size, not as big as chipotle (but who needs that big of a burrito) the meat was seasoned well and all the flavors combined nicely. Ingredients: Rice, Beans, Cheese, Pico de Gallo, Lettuce, Guacamole, Sour Cream, Chipotle Sauce, added onion, cilantro and corn salsa. Protein, I chose ground seasoned beef. I gave a 4 because I think the organization of to go orders could flow a bit better. The guacamole, in my opinion could improve. The salsa bar needs lids. If you try tell me what your thoughts are on the guac and queso. Added more photos. Ciao for now! read more

Horrible sanitation issues and food quality. Had considered using your location for client catering as the original location was started by a guy in my hometown. The original location back in Hampstead NC is fantastic. The food was always hot, fresh, and the assembly area clean. The Battleground location is awful. I've been twice since moving here - super excited thinking a little piece of home was here in GSO.... Not the case. Ground beef is floating in inches of oil and fat and enough salt to cause shock. Other proteins are cold and tough. Lettuce is translucent, pico isn't crisp, queso tastes burnt, tomatoes were slimy. I had 5 orders. The pork had a spoonful left, I asked for new, the response was, "we have to use all of this before getting out anything new". Ma'am when what's left in your container is so dry it looks like onion straws, I'm sure your manager won't mind the waste - I mean I'm sure the food the other worker had - who rolled her eyes at my question about queso, sure had her order piled high with extras when she quickly sat down at a table after ringing us up. The quesadillas was over cooked and the queso was at the bottom of the container and tasted scorched. Overall the best item I had was my beverage, a Coke. My 15 year old son was incredibly disappointed at his sodium bomb tacos since we had just driven 50 mins from a school basketball game and he was starving. Maybe so much needed huddles with the staff can take place and stop in again for another try. I've got pictures of the counter and assembly area of the night we were in there to eat, incredibly messy and very dirty. read more

I was there again today. This time I ordered a burrito bowl, took it home and made four tostadas out of it (2 separate meals!) with my own freshly shredded lettuce. Their lettuce is OK , they just didn't give me enough of it (I like ALOT of lettuce on my tostadas). As usual, the food was delicious. I've had their green fire salsa (fantastic flavor and SPICY!), the regular mild salsa that they have on the salsa bar (delicious) and tonight he gave me a sample of the habanero salsa, which is also really good. Great balance of flavor and spice. I just love this place. I keep coming back again and again. The service is super friendly every single time. read more

I recently tried Burrito Shak for the first time and really enjoyed it! The restaurant is clean and staff were friendly. They have burritos and bowls with preselected items or you can build your own. They have a good variety of toppings. They also have a salsa bar that featured 6 varieties of salsa. I did the aloha burrito bowl and it comes with chips. The bowl was pretty big and I really liked all of the flavors together. All of the ingredients tasted fresh. read more

Oh hi, Burrito Shak! You're the new fast burrito joint on the block. Oh wait... so it's better than Chipotle, Salsarita's Barberito's AND Moe's? Indeed it is! And it has a great selection of high-quality meats and toppings, and yet the price point is LESS than the competition? One bite of the "Shaka" bowl had me convinced. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the "S-turn," topped with a poblano crema. It's like... Super Chipotle! The selections are HEALTHY, clean eating, too. You can easily customize any bowl to fit your lifestyle, which I love about these types of takeout places. No deep fried, sugary greasy heaviness. Just delicious, filling proteins with great black beans, rice and a selection of veggies and sauces. Great food for a great price. I will definitely be back! read more

We were visiting family in Greensboro and heard that Burrito Shak has good food. The restaurant was spotless with friendly staff. I had The Aloha bowl and it was delicious. Loved the Baja slaw & pineapple salsa. My husband had the ACP Burrito with carne asada. He typically has something to complain whenever we eat out but no complaints as he ate every bite. He said it was one of the best burritos he every had... You also cannot go wrong with home made chocolate chip cookies. We wish there was a Burrito Shak in Florida. . read more

First thing I noticed walking in. This place was clean and appealing. We were greeted my the employee who provided friendly service by asking if we had been before and explained the menu. I ordered the nachos with pulled pork. It was delicious! The meat was flavorful and tender. The chips were crisp. I intended to eat 1/2 and take the rest home for lunch. That idea stood no chance because it was do good. The staff member came back around and asked us how we were doing. I'll be back!! read more

Decided to try a new establishment for dinner & Burrito Shak it was! We were immediately greeted & everyone was pleasant & the decor was nice & bright. I had the Aloha bowl & my friend, some nacho fries dish which apparently shouldn't have been advertised because no one knew how to prepare it. Not a problem though! A man, I assume was the manager, instructed the young man on how to make it! The food was good, basically another version of Chipotle. My only complaint (and this is probably due to the fact they had not been open for long) is that the young lady preparing my bowl didn't know what ingredients went in it & was going to charge me extra for the pineapple salsa. Aside from that, I was pleased with the food & service. read more

Good food, staff is nice a friendly. I ordered 3 tacos don't remember what were, but for those regular tacos, they were filled with meat and lettuce and sauce. This is not taco hell(bell), you can't close the tacos if you tried, also you get a side of chips and choice of salsa I tried the peach jalapeño and tried the chocolate chip cookie all this price under 15 bucks..winning read more

Burrito Shak - Mexican Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This place is pretty good! It has that slightly beachy feel but has a very similar service model to Chipotle/Qdoba/Moes/Salsaritas/Barberitos. The only difference is that they have their own house combinations of items that they build in front of you. The other places allow you to totally build your own. Now that can be a good or bad thing depending on what you are into. I've done the recipes they provided but modified them to my liking and that works best for me because I don't eat some specific toppings. The Fire shot burrito is pretty good and they give a good sized portion. Their habanero salsa has a good kick to it. The staff is friendly for sure and the place is clean, however if it is 12:45 on a Monday which is a prime lunch rush time, to the extent of the parking lot being slammed full, I recommend the manager help the staff restock ramekins on the salsa bar and napkins too. Manager seemed a little aloof but not big deal they were probably new. I will be back read more

Burrito Shak is the newest entry in the fast burrito market. The same setup as Chipotle and Moe's with a variety of burritos, burrito bowls, taco's, and quesadillas. The space is bright with a seaside feel. Perhaps it's being new and the staff getting up to speed, but the process behind the counter seemed a bit disjointed. That will most likely improve as they gain experience. My burrito wasn't as tasty as the ones I've had at Moe's or Chipotle. The burrito is huge and you're not likely to leave hungry. read more

Wow! Super friendly and helpful employees! Let us try sauces and let's just say the taste was so fresh! We both had a S line burrito and a bowl and it was huge!

Tasty food. The T.I. is delicious. My husband orders the guppy. It's always clean here with friendly workers.

I'm a regular here but today's experience wasn't to easy on the eyes. There was a lady yelling at her coworker in front of a crowed store. I felt extremely embarrassed for the young man when I could see he was the one working the hardest. Then you have another guy idk wth if he was high or what but he seemed off and was moving in slow motion. it's a new employee each time I come so I'm assuming the turnover rate is already extremely high. read more

First the service was fantastic with a welcoming hello to the restaurant as you walked in. The employees were great and they knew what they were doing despite the restaurant only being opened for less than 2 months. Most of all however, was the freshness of every ingredient they used. I have been in the restaurant twice, once for the bowl and the 2nd time for the burrito. The steak on both was plentiful and the toppings very fresh I know these types of restaurants have some stuff competition but "hands down" Buttito Shak is the best because of the freshness of the ingredients and great employees. Keep up the great work!! read more
