    Lettuce wrap cheeseburger and spicy fries with ranch
    Gene B.

    Needed a quick bite. A good enough reason to try the Shake Shack for the very first time. Ordered a lettuce wrap cheeseburger and spicy fries with ranch Burger appeared to be a salad. Under the generous helping of lettuce, patty was seared with a light crisp. Wasn't greasy either. Deliciously different! Well-seasoned fries but not spicy. These were crispy as well. Overall great eats. Would return but haven't seen many locations.

    Went to Shake Shack for lunch. I had the Smoky Classic BBQ Burger, Single an order of Mac & Cheese and a Fifty/Fifty Lemonade. For my order the total was $24.22 Food was good. The service and dining room was good, clean and attentive.

    $24.22 Shack Burger with bacon add and vanilla shake: Good, very good even but the price gets close to some local restaurants putting out excellent burgers that reach next level.

    tldr, ok I read the *ONLY* one-star review and I feel it was a bit harsh. **PROTIP** Be wary of how many reviews people write, it could be they had a bad day and shake shack was an easy target on their path of destruction. And the opposite is also true, that if it's 5 stars and the person wrote one or two reviews, it could've been planted by the establishment (back in college my boss at a tutoring business asked me to write fake positive reviews, before I understood what yelp was). I DIGRESS. I would say for the first week of opening (they opened on 4/28), they WORKED. I went at around 9:30-10pm (they close at 11pm, mind you). It was packed... not an empty indoor table in sight. People in the kitchen were buzzing with orders. Like busy bees, the workers were hard at work filling people's orders an hour before close. There was hardly anyone available to take my order at the register. There are kiosks in front of the register where people can order without a cashier but when I tried to enter my promo code and got denied, I sought the assistance of a nearby fry-master. This guy was cool, calm, collected and helpful. He told me I had to order with a cashier to get the free Shackburger (this month's deal for National Hamburger Month). What I ordered: - new BBQ boneless baby back rib burger (a lot of b's lols) - mac and cheese - shackburger (free 99) I really loved the rib burger! I would get that again. Ya it didn't look pretty at all. But it was UGLY DELICIOUS. As for the mac and cheese, it was extra cheesy, make sure to bring your lactaid if you're lactose intolerant. I like it slightly more than the one at Chick-Fil-a but I'd have to try them side by side to do more of a thorough comparison. I think you also need to eat it right away because the breadcrumbs get a bit soggy. Other than that, it was a good amount of cheesiness. I loved the shackburger ofc but maybe also more because it was free. I hate/love it's walking distance from my apt. grateful for the options... not good for my wallet tho. oh well. tis life.

    When I'm in Berkeley, I like trying different places, it feels like a little day trip to eat out. I heard about the new Shake Shack opening near Shattuck, and since my friend (who lives in Berkeley) had never tried it, we decided to check it out. The grand opening was a few days ago, so it still felt new. I've had Shake Shack before in New York and San Francisco. We ordered two ShackBurgers ($8.29 each) and one fries ($4.99). I also had an email promotion for a free ShackBurger (National Burger Month), so the total came out to $14.64 for two burgers and fries, about $7.32 per person, which is a good deal. The ShackBurger was just okay, but the fries were very hot and really good. I liked dipping them in the Shake Shack sauce. After ordering, they gave us a number, and the food was brought to our table. There were a lot of employees working both in the kitchen and at the counter, and a couple of staff were walking around the dining area checking on tables. The place looked clean, and there were lots of UC Berkeley students dining in or picking up to-go orders. If I'm in Berkeley and in a hurry, I would come back again.

    The burgers were awful, but what can you expect, it's the first day and they were getting slammed. But maybe shake shack just isn't that good anymore. Props to the workers! Give everyone a raise. Great job keeping it organized and having the line moving fast. Our table was cleaned instantly. Shoutout to Raleigh/Riley (I think that's his name) for the phenomenal customer service and coming in clutch with the sauces.

    Coupon that got me to come in.  I left it on the table.  Another person may have better success with using it.  QR Code on the back side.

    It's very frustrating when someone is outside handing out coupons to promote a new restaurant in the area, and you take time out of your day to go give the place a try. I walked over for lunch and was initially greeted with a warm smile, and the restaurant itself was clean -- that's what earned the two stars. Unfortunately, the experience quickly went downhill. The cashier looked at the coupon as if it were some form of alien currency and acted like he had never seen one before. He then ran around the restaurant searching for a manager to figure out how to accept it. By the time he returned, I had already said I would just pay for my food. The manager, who was standing behind the team member shaking fries, eventually came over and proceeded to read the coupon to me twice, as if I was the one having trouble understanding it. At that point, I had already stated three separate times that I would simply pay for my meal instead of continuing the awkward process of trying to use the coupon that brought me into the restaurant in the first place. So yes, the coupon succeeded in getting someone through the door, but the overall experience did not encourage me to return. As for the food, it was lackluster and definitely not what I would expect from a $20 meal. Once the service missed the mark, the rest of the experience went downhill fast. I may try another location while traveling in the future, but this visit was far from what I expected. Very disappointed.

Most recent visit I got the mint chip and coffee flavors. I appreciate that both flavors pack a punch, and taste authentic as compared to artificially flavored store bought ice cream.

They don't skimp on the quality and intensity of flavor. This last visit I also asked if they would give me a single bite of vanilla ice cream on a disposable spoon for my dog, and they kindly obliged. Wonderful local spot that always brings smiles :)

Thanks to an acquaintance who told me about Caravaggio Gelato, we checked it out when a family member was visiting from out of town. It was a treat to be served directly by the gelatiere artigiano who crafts the recipes. Among us three, we tried 4 flavors. We spotted the Gianduja (Hazelnut & Chocolate) later, and it will be on the list for the next visit. * Piedmont Hazelnut (Nocciola del Piemonte): The overall favorite--rich, creamy, and nutty. * Orange Blossom Honey: Our guest's top pick from the regular menu. He exclaimed, beaming, at least three times how good that flavor was! * King Pluot: One of the special flavors of the day, the gelato captured the taste of summer - bright, sweet, and refreshing. * Black Sesame: I was curious how black sesame would taste in gelato, and I was not disappointed - the flavor was deep and earthy, made with Japanese sesame seeds. There may be a dozen gelato and ice cream shops in Berkeley, but Caravaggio is where you'll relish the science and art of gelato making.

Unfortunately this spot really missed the mark for me. Would give 2 stars but bumping up to 3 stars for the very friendly service.

They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

I was able to track one of my AirPods to Fentons, so we went in and explained the situation to the manager, Raul. Raul told us that he had seen a couple of black bags outside the restaurant on Friday night. After waiting a day to see if anyone claimed them, the staff had wrapped the bags in trash bags and put them in the dumpster. Raul then did something we absolutely did not expect -- he jumped into the dumpster himself and started digging through the trash to find our bags. My friend and I were prepared to do it ourselves, but Raul did the heavy lifting and eventually found both bags at the very bottom. Thankfully, because they had been wrapped in plastic, everything inside was completely protected. We recovered 100% of our belongings, which we honestly thought we'd never see again. What could have been a nightmare of police reports, insurance claims and replacing everything turned into an incredible customer-service story because Raul took the time to help us. We stayed for lunch and ice cream afterward and made sure to tip Raul and the staff very generously. Everyone was kind, sympathetic and helpful. Huge thank you to Raul and the entire Fentons team. Raul, you absolutely did not have to jump into that dumpster for us, but you did -- and we'll never forget it. Fentons is lucky to have you!
