Oh the missed potential in this place... Highlights: -The fries are delicious! (The double order is more than enough for three or 4 people) -Style and old-school concept -The fresh squeezed ginger lemonade -Great service Lowlights: -Although the meat was cooked to perfection, it was super bland. I ordered a single bison burger and my boyfriend ordered a double green chili burger... both were "meh". Drowning your burger with ketchup is a disaster and takes away from the meat. A little advice: season your meat. PLEASE. read more

Such a great burger spot! We love to eat here because we can let our little one spread his legs and walk around a bit. The burgers are fresh, fries are my favorite shoestring fries and the shakes are delicious, I always grab a coffee shake on my way out. read more

I went on a strong recommendation and had driven by it a bunch of times and always saw lines. I don't really eat burgers, fries and shakes anymore, but decided to make an acception for this place. I waited in a relatively short 10 minute line and ordered the green chili cheeseburger, fries and lavender shake. The food came out quickly and I started to dig in from my quaint picnic table on their generous grounds. Well forget about sucking the shake through a straw cuz that was not gonna happen. But I was fine with using a spoon. Almost better, really. The burger was fresh and cooked nicely, but not a ton of flavor there. I still enjoyed it though, being someone who doesn't like overly salted food. The fries were good, but not great IMHO. But they were probably better than other kinds of less "healthy" fries that one could eat. I would def go back again if the stars aligned and I think it def merits a try from tourists such as myself and those who crave in-n-out burger type food. read more

I really want to like this place. The burgers and shakes are some of the best in Santa Fe. But the staff is so rude. Everytime I go, I end up regretting it because of how rude the staff are. Save yourself the irritation and just go to Lota burger or whatever. read more

Shake Foundation - The joy of just living - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Such a let down given the reviews- was craving a good burger after a day of hiking and was sad that this didn't hit the spot... Had a double shack burger, fries and a ginger lemonade... starting from the good and trending down: - lemonade was good, not too sweet, would have preferred stronger ginger flavor but overall solid - fries- good in concept, execution needed work- needed more salt and less oil. The chile aioli was a win though and worth the extra couple bucks- led me to eat more fries than I would have otherwise - On to the main event- where's the salt?!? Seriously under seasoned burger, only highlight was the chili topping but even that needed a sprinkle I get it's an institution but skippable for me read more

Great spot! Great shake and burger! Fries are different and AMAZING!!! Come here ASAP! read more

Shake Foundation - Chocolate Shake! Is the bomb!!!! Burger was great! Fries even better! 5 stars! - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I was truly disappointed when we went. The food was nothing like the reviews. The meat was not seasoned well. It was rather bland. The fries were super greasy and limp. Not even ketchup could help them. The lemonade was fabulous . read more

I got out of my car and walked to the road to meet a friend. An employee who apparently has nothing better to do than guard the parking lot (there are always longs lines that they could maybe help with) jumped out of a car and chased me down saying the parking lot was only for customers. I explained that I was meeting a friend to which he replied "we'll see". I told him that I would be going somewhere else given their treatment of customers. This employee followed me back to my car calling me a liar. I'm a little confused why the restaurant would treat customers that way. I've been here plenty of times and the food is decent, but there are plenty of other options with infinitely better customer service. Hopefully your protecting of parking lots is worth the loss of a customer and the ensuing word of mouth. read more

Website says they close at 8. We had a lot of shipping to do and were looking forward to grabbing a malt on the way out of town. We got there around 7:20 and looked over the menu really quick, then tried to order. The young guy behind the counter told us " sorry, we are closed, we close at 8, but sometimes 15 or 30 minutes before". I looked at my phone, and it was 7:23.really didn't feel like being that guy and with how opposed they were to doing work im pretty sure they would have just spit in it anyways. If you are going to not serve anything after 7, why not just change the business hours to 7? read more

Some of the worst service and food I've ever received. The girl at the window was always on her phone and not even trying to keep an eye out for customers. I tried a hi and was ignored. She finally took our order and while it came promptly after that, blech. One of the greasiest burgers I've ever eaten, like the bun was already dissolving while the thing was too hot to eat. Chiles had zero spice, jack cheese is the only option and soooo wrong on a burger, no seasoning on the meat, just a flavorless, textureless awfulness. Fries were undercooked and under seasoned (my 5 year old that eats nothing but hot dogs, chicken nuggets and ketchup loved them). After eating stupidly added on an Oreo shake that was almost 8 bucks that was a comically small vanilla shake with Oreo crumbs. You have to ask for whipped cream :eyeroll: my husband's review is that the burger was okay (we had the same thing) but that was the worst milkshake of his life. I noticed that the reviews were hit and miss before I went but holy shit that was baaaad. read more

My friend and I parked, and then went to use the bathroom before ordering food and shakes, but the employee came out and yelled that we needed to move our car because the lot was only for customers. She didn't even give us the opportunity and time to explain. No food review because I wasn't provided the opportunity. read more

Good and quick. Ordered green chili cheese burger and a shoe string fry. Both hit the stop, great place for a quick lunch without eating in you car. Burger tasted a lot like Five guys. read more

Since Shake Foundation doesn't have a way to contact them via their website, I'll use this platform. A few days ago I was just walking through their parking lot. As I passed by a white car two employees Came running out screaming at me, "You can't park there." I informed them this wasn't not my car but they insisted it was and they were calling a tow company to tow my car. I took my keys out of my pocket and showed them it wasn't my car. They continued their berating. I know that businesses near the plaza parking is premium but there's better ways to approach people than yelling at them even if it was my car. Not sure if I'll be back to this business again. read more

Food great ! Customer service needs improvement. Young or not the employees need to be more cordial.

Hard to make a burger much more bland than this....now filling the rest of the characters

Nice patio and decent burgers but Fries made me sick as so oily and poorly cooked yuk

I've been underwhelmed here before but I was a little baffled today. The burgers are OK ... Just OK. Could use a lot more seasoning. They're small. And greasy (but I kinda like that ... You might not). The fries are OK, but also greasy (even for me). All those things I can deal with. Today, though, I was utterly confused. I haven't been feeling great so I wanted to eat kind of light. I ordered a Caesar salad. I took a picture of what I got. It is literally a bunch of whole Romaine lettuce leaves (at least 8 inches long!) shoved in a cup with some dressing in the bottom. What? I guess I'm supposed to .... Dip the lettuce in? Like a weird crudite? I'm not above eating salad with my hands (real classy here), so I gave it a try. Nope. Lettuce was bitter and it was way too unwieldy to eat. I threw it away. read more

Their green chile cheeseburger is out of this world! And their French fries are absolutely perfection. Crispy, thin, salty. Their ginger lemonade was also very good! It was my second time eating there, and each time it's been delicious! read more

Okay, I don't have a food review, because the cashier is -as other reviewers have mentioned- so unbelievably rude and ignorant that we left before ordering. We had wanted to try this place because we had heard great things about it being gluten-free friendly, great local food & dog friendly. I can tell you honestly it is not gluten free friendly (the cashier will roll her eyes and tell you to get "a lettuce wrap, don't get the bun because IT'S BREAD! " when you ask her, as directed by the menu, what's gluten free. Then say "WELL WAT DO YOU WANT?! WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF THE MENU IF YOU DON'T KNOW!" I get the marketing idea of sassy staff, but this ain't it, foodie friends. This place is not gluten friendly, dog friendly or even people friendly. Santa Fe has so many amazing restaurants w/ amazing service to try, don't waste your time with this one until they figure out how to not berate & chase customers out of their parking lot. read more

Just nothing interesting at all... No flavor at all...maybe the staff and owner should watch more food shows... read more

Yum. We had green chili cheeseburgers today. They were cooked perfectly and the chile was hot and delicious. The string fries were great, extra crispy as I requested and plentiful. They have a nice outdoor eating area with pretty trees, but it was too hot today to sit outside. The service at the window was very friendly . read more

The shake Foundation has lost its footing. A family favorite in the past, today's visit will be the last. Ordered to go to avoid the heat/wait, and although we got what we ordered, I wished perhaps we didn't. My burger was beyond well done, despite requesting medium, and the fries were so salty. The shake was good as always, stuck to a vanilla bc they are almost always out of various flavors. I made the mistake of ordering the Caesar Salad as well... it came out as a solo cup with an inch of dressing at the bottom and a romaine heart, I chopped, sticking out like like a lettuce bouquet. Do yourself a favor and skip the shake foundation. read more

I was the only person there and the food took forever. 4 guys just wandering around in the kitchen..when I finally got my food, the burger and fries were not hot! Burger was overcooked and tiny. I checked their hours before arriving and it said that they were open until 6pm on Sundays. A couple showed up around 5 :15 with a large order and they were told that the place was closed!!!! read more

I dropped by a couple weeks ago for an order of fries. They were burned and completely inedible. When I returned today seeking redress, I was told that they couldn't do anything about it because (1) I didn't return immediately, (I had to be somewhere) and (2) I did not phone them promptly (who calls a fast food joint?). Well... I guess that's it. With so many good and inexpensive eating establishments in Santa Fe, why bother? read more

Had the lamb burger, fries and a coffee milk shake. All were good. I wish the patty was the size of the bun, maybe get a double patty. The shake was tasty but not of coffee that I ordered. Fries were great. Sat at the picnic tables, which are not undercover so when the rain and hail came out of nowhere....everything was a bit soggy. But don't let that stop you. read more

My kids and I were passing through Santa Fe and wanted somewhere fun to eat so we stopped in just before closing tonight! I love the idea of this place and the menu is great. However the cashier was less than friendly & helpful. In fact he treated me as if I was disrupting her day. Sadly. I later realized we got there 10 minutes before closing! At least 15 other people came after closing time and were turned away. I'm disappointed they close to early at 7 PM!! Glad we made it in time!! The food was good but nothing to write home about. And the Adobe mud shakes were pretty good. We tried vanilla and salted caramel. I loved the salted caramel one. The fries were ok. My favorite part was the shack type of building and the outdoor picnic seating.. the weather was beautiful! And it's not too far from the plaza! read more

Literally nothing was good on the food side of things. Very disappointed . Outside was pleasant though

You'd think I ordered Peking duck! Asked if they welcome feedback, they said yes, so I shared: Burger: no flavor, cooked hard Bun: no flavor Fries: over cooked Nice folks tho! read more

Fortunately you have many great "green burgers" here in Santa Fe. Love the outdoor setting, very clean benches to choose from. They served up my triple cheese pretty quick. The burger is good juicy really no complaints. Best in town no no... But that's ok considering where we're talking about. The fries are consistently below average. Its the weakest link to the meal. So what is the best?? Its all in the name of our friendly roadside takeout. THE SHAKES!! yummy. Thick rich in flavor taste buds will be most happy after those fries. Stop in get a small burger( you have no choice) and get your shake on! read more

Wish there were a lower rating than one star!!! I rarely give anything but positive ratings but I have to yelp about this! I've never had a more insulting experience at any restaurant! I didn't get to try this place because the owner actually confronted me when I parked and walked around looking for a bathroom while I was on my cell phone on a business call. He interrupted my call and got in my face basically, and asked me if I was eating there. I told him it was my first time there and I'm in the middle of a phone call and that I was looking for a bathroom (he then showed me where it was--outside where u need a key-) Something about this whole scene really disturbed me so I called him a special name or two, told him I would not be eating there... and I would tell other people to avoid this place ... He proceeded to follow me over to my vehicle and make pictures of my vehicle and license plate. A very intimidating action.... I yelled at him and told him what I thought of him Actually people if you want a really good burger go to Santa Fe bite don't waste your time on this ridiculous place... Yelp reviews are already looking pretty bad and this one I hope really stings!! Overrated obviously and completely rude to a potential local customer read more

Another one that falls short, come on people this is the Burger Business get it together. This burger was just above the 3 fast food slime joints "Mickey Dirty Dees, Burger Sling, and good old dirty Wendy.

Shake Foundation - Ordered a double no tomatoes.. Is this a single? - Burgers Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Mushroom burger pretty good. When I asked if they could cut mine in half so my kids could share they said no. It's too small. Too small for what??? Then it must be to small to eat? Or too small to see? I asked again..."No...We don't do that." It's food service. I don't get it at all. "No I just don't feel like it." Is what they really meant. Not cool. If a customer asks to have a sandwich cut in half them you do it just my opinion. read more

They play the music so loud outside the staff can not hear you speak. Good ice cream selection compared to the other places places in Santa Fe. The staff is not friendly, one staff member was rude because we asked for a to go bag. My burger was dry. The food is not good enough to abide by the attitude of the staff. Would not go back read more

Worst customer service in Santa Fe! I truly can't comprehend how this restaurant is managed. The staff at the window are dry and uninterested. They are unwilling to accommodate dietary restrictions - not out of inability or lack of means but out of laziness. Their sign out front advertises that customers can call their number to place pickup orders... more often however, the phone is disconnected or I've been left on hold for 15 minutes and then hung up on or told they're too busy only to arrive to an empty parking lot. Most recently, I was told they were out of grilled onion... but that they had raw onion. I'm just left exasperated each time I go here, struggling to find logic or reason in their management. Get your green chile cheeseburger fix elsewhere, and save yourself a headache. read more

Burger- no seasoning, bland AF, green chili taste like bell peppers soaked in vinegar, no mayo, add your own...bun cold-not toasted $1.25 for 3 slices of pickles French Fries- no salt, under cooked Strawberry shake.... $6.00 and small.. no flavor.. super thick.. wore out the paper straw and couldn't drink until melted. 2 burgers Fries to share 2 shakes 1 coke $36 RIDICULOUS read more

Delicious green chile cheeseburger, fresh cut fries, and shakes made from Taos Cow ice cream. Everything made from fresh ingredients. I don't get other reviewer complaints about price or flavor. $3.95 for a burger. No, it's not huge, so what? It's made with all fresh ingredients. And the beef tastes as delicious as fresh beef tastes, not masked with fillers or anything else. It's delicious cow. This place will be even better when the weather warms up and we can enjoy the picnic tables. read more

I had the double green chile cheeseburger and a side of their green chile stew. The burger had kind of fallen apart/over in the bag and was very "wet" unfortunately. I only walked the bag 5 steps from the service window to the bench before eating it. The green chile didn't have that much flavor, the cheese had become something of a sauce and contributed to the wet nature of the burger. The beef patties were decent and the bun was okay - where it hadn't become soggy. The green chile stew was very hot in temperature and had a decent flavor/taste. If you want the green chile cheeseburger experience in Santa Fe I would recommend the Santa Fe Bite. read more
