Did we miss the giant sign above the counter explaining it? Yes we did! Luckily, a sweet employee saw our confusion and brought us menus and took our order. We'll know next time to just order at the kiosk. I got the Original Shack Burger, my husband got the Cheeseburger and my FIL got the Local burger. We shared the loaded Comeback fries. Husband got the limeade, I got lemonade, and FIL got Strawberry Lemonade. We all loved everything so much. You can really taste the freshness of the burgers here. My burger was so juicy! I loved the bun and the toppings were just right. Our loaded fries were delicious. I'd definitely order them again. The inside dining area isn't huge but they have a lot of outdoor and patio seating. It was a nice enough day today where these outdoor areas were pretty full. We were there on a Friday between lunch and dinner in the middle of June. While we sat we watched the dining room fill up and the drive thru get busy. By the time we left about 4pm there was a wait for a table.

The food arrived very quickly and was cooked to perfection. Be warned: the seasoned fries are VERY seasoned fries. I snuck a few of my hubby's to taste but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to eat an entire order of my own. I wish I had room for a shake because they looked incredible. Maybe next time!

I had come in a bit early and the kitchen hadn't started up yet. They happily let me know it would be a few extra minutes. At no time was I made to feel like I was being a bother. The burger was a decent size cooked to perfection. Put together well with the fixins I requested. Toasted bun is always a nice touch. The fires were great, just the right amount of season, and cripsy outside with fluffy inside just like they should be. I would like to reiterate how personable and comforting the staff were. This is def a great place to go.

However, when our party of 6 family members arrived, their music was playing at a level making conversation at our table very difficult.

JC now has plenty of good restaurants where we don't have to deal with excessive noise levels.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.
