    My burger and chicken sandwich were decent. It was expensive but I expected that in an airport to some extent. A double Shack burger and chicken sandwich with soda was $27. Ouch. But the staff were nice and the food came out hot and fresh.

    This was my first time ever trying Shake Shack. I had a single burger with bacon and fries and enjoyed both while waiting for my flight m. I don't usually like crinkle fries, but they were fresh and hot out of the fryer!

    Shack Burger ($7.35), Shack Stack ($13.10; close-up in this photo), Fries ($3.75), and 2 cups of water ($0.00). Total after tax: $26.14.

    I give this Shake Shack 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. It *is* nice there is an airport location. We had an early afternoon flight out of Concourse A at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, so I decided to show up early to grab lunch for us at this Shake Shack located near Gate A28. I've been to several Shake Shack locations over the years and I'm a fan of this chain. While I don't think the food at this Shake Shack is as good as the non-airport locations I've been to, it's close enough and worth a visit if you're in the mood for a yummy burger. Unsurprisingly, the menu here is more limited than a non-airport location. For example, there are less burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries to choose from. Specifically, during my visit, this location did not have items like the Hot Ones Burger, Grilled Cheese (sandwich), Avocado Bacon Chicken (sandwich), and Bacon Cheese Fries on the menu. There's still enough to choose from, though. My wife got a ShackBurger ($7.35), I got a ShackStack ($13.10), and we split an order of fries ($3.75). We also got two cups of water (free). After tax, this worked out to $26.14. The ShackBurger is an Angus beef cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. The Shack Stack is like a combination of the ShackBurger and 'Shroom Burger. In other words, it's a ShackBurger where the beef patty and cheese is topped with a deep-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted Muenster and cheddar cheeses inside. The burgers were well-made, hot, fresh, rich, and tasty. Good-quality ingredients all around. The beef patties were thick and juicy. The melted cheeses made the burgers quite heavy and filling, especially the Shack Stack. The fries were standard, satisfactory crinkle-cut fries. This Shake Shack doesn't have any dedicated seating. It's just a counter. I took our order to the food court common area tables in the center of the concourse and we sat and ate there. The staff boxed, bagged, and packed everything up nicely so there was no mess. Our clear cups of water, with snap-shut lids and straws, were placed in an unfoldable cup holder with a handle. We also got plenty of packets of Heinz ketchup and mustard. In general, I thought the service was good. The two employees I interacted with were polite and efficient. The server name printed on my receipt was Taitu N. The burgers were made-to-order. At the register, the cashier warned me ahead of time and said there would be an approximate 10-minute wait (if I recall correctly). The line/wait wasn't bad for me. I'm pretty sure I received my order in less than 10 minutes. This Shake Shack opened on September 25, 2018. It was the third Shake Shack to open in metro Atlanta. The first location opened in Buckhead on September 30, 2014: https://www.yelp.com/biz/shake-shack-atlanta. There are now eight Shake Shack locations in metro Atlanta at the time of writing this review in 2023. This is the only Shake Shack location inside the Atlanta airport.

    Return again? YES Recommend it? No reason not too, especially when trapped in an airport! Taste: 5/5 for airport food Quality: 5/5 great Angus beef patty Service: 3/5 ok, just average staff and ran out of bacon for the Double cherry pepper burger, WTH?! Value: 5/5 $10-12 for a double patty burger at an airport is a steal X-factor: 2/5 NOT advertised or made known to most travelers. We just stumbled upon it by walking around different parts of the Terminal A. Excellent burger by airport standards for sure. AND, beats an In-N-Out burger by fast food standards in the real world too. I am from Cali and I still prefer the Shake Shack spicy cherry pepper burger (with ir without bacon) over a Double Double any time! No food pics this time. Airport chaos and hunger made us devour that delicious burger within minutes!

    It's what I want for lunch, but can I get it in my hands before the plane takes off? My plane arrived and I had 15 minutes before my transfer flight was boarding in the next terminal over I had been up since 6 a.m. and hadn't eaten all day and it was already 3:30 p.m. so I risked it and ordered Shake Shack. There was a line of people waiting to receive their food and it took about 10 minutes for my order to come out. Then I ran to the underground tram, then I ran to my gate and made it there about 5 minutes after boarding had already started. Yes, made it! Shack Stack (Cheeseburger topped with a 'Shroom Burger with lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce) + Bacon - Yup, I went for the ultimate here, because I had never tried there burger + portabello mushroom patty. The burger is thick as thick (you like that?) and was prepared correctly without any missing items. The Shack Stack is good, but I can't say that I love it better ShackBurger or SmokeShack. The breaded and deep fried portabello patty didn't have any special flavor and turned out kind of gooey inside, which must be from the cheese they stuff inside. The bacon is thin cut but crisp. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I recommend it over the other burgers they offer? No. Just pick the burger that sounds best to you. Crinkle Cut Fries - Shake Shack's Crinkle Cut Fries are different from other places because their ridges are cut thinner and sharper than the average one you see at other places. I love them. I didn't get to check my order until I was seated on the plane, but they did good because everything I ordered was there. Nothing was missing and it tasted great. I do think the airport location could use a couple of more staff. It would speed things up a bit and the help out the existing staff which looked overworked. If you're craving a burger while you're rushing around or waiting at the airport, don't be afraid to hit them up!

    Busy per usual

It's not overwhelming, and to be honest there were so many other items on the menu I wanted to try, which is why I will be coming back. Brake Pad has a full bar & they also have a good craft beer selection and of course they have Sweetwater 420 & Hopsecutioner IPA. The items I had from the menu were the Salsa & Queso w/ chips. The salsa was great and the queso was surprisingly good. I did not have it in my bingo card that they would have great queso but they proved me wrong. For my main meal item I had the Truffle Chicken Salad Sandwich. I HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for a flavorful yet healthy option. I was only able to eat half the sandwich and I was full, so if you don't mind having more delicious Brake Pad cuisine To-Go, then I highly recommend. The atmosphere of Brake Pad was fun, vibrant, and the staff were amazing.

Parking on the street is how it's done. A few designated spaces but around the corner is fine. Service is attentive and friendly. Refilling our cups, checking in and making sure we're good to go. Definitely worth the stop when in College Park.

We parked behind the building and a woman who worked there had the door open. She had on a shirt that read Legalize being Black. My husband had on a Black Lives Matter shirt, & I had on a Juneteenth shirt. She smiled and raised her fist at us as we asked to enter through the door and we responded in kind. I love us! She toke U.S. to grab a menu as we walked in to the right of the bar. We found a high top and found what we wanted and went to the counter to order. The prices are reasonable until you get to adding the sides. I overheard another worker tell a couple who ordered after us to order the veggie plate if they were getting 4 sides as it was cheaper. I wish the person who took our order had told use that. The entrees are à la carte and priced reasonably. The sides are $5 each with a few exceptions, a hoecake is $2 and mac & cheese and a couple other sides are $6. Keep that in mind when you come. Our total for our inside dining with a can of ginger ale, fountain Diet Coke, & tip was like $70+ & the to go order for our son's meal w/o a drink was ~$30. It's definitely a good value if you only need an entree and have sides already. The food is good and has large pieces of meat & decent portions so there you go... I ordered the fried green tomatoes as a starter, smoked beef brisket with the barbecue sauce on the side, smoked turkey cabbage, dressing, & the lemon pound cake. Ironically, the fried green tomatoes came out last. They were piping hot though. They could've used a dash of salt but that cornmeal batter was perfection on the tomatoes. You get 3 and 1 was cut a little too thick and it was slightly mushy maybe cause it had to cook longer? But it was still good. The beef brisket was good. It's sliced thin and had that good smoke flavor and was seasoned well. The thicker slices could've been a bit more tender but overall it could rival some barbecue joints. The dressing was good and so was the cabbage, though it was almost tad bit saltier than I'd like. I'd order everything I had again. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed my food. You know not everyone who claims to cook southern food can do so. Oh the pound cake was good and moist. It reminds me of Sammy Chhesecake pound cake. My husband ordered the 3 pieces of fried chicken, collard greens & they do have a lil kick as the menu suggests, green beans, & yellow rice. He was pleasantly surprised with how big the pieces of chicken were. Nowadays people give you what looks like pigeon parts ‍. He said it was a tad salty. He said he also enjoyed his meal otherwise. I forgot to get pictures of the food for our son's takeout order of fried pork chops, collard greens, mac & cheese, & a hoecake. He liked his food as well but also said his pork chops, which were nice size center cut, were well seasoned, but a little too much. He enjoyed the meal and his 1st hoecake. They also do catering and seemed to have a large catering order being prepared to go out. The restaurant & woman's restroom was clean. The staff were friendly and quickly acknowledged us. The music was good but it would've been good to hear a mix of old school with the hip hop since it was Juneteenth. They have a full bar. The only thing I didn't like was Fox News & another conservative news channel on; at least not on JuneteenthZ a generic movie or TV show would've been better for me anyway. They had a steady stream of to go orders and in person dining. I guess we're just late to know about
