    I got the large Pomegranate Sweet Basil Lemonade and SmokeShacks. I really enjoyed the lemonade as it wasn't too sweet and I could taste just the right about of pomegranate and basil. The SmokeShacks were a bit too small for my liking but it tasted delicious. I would come here again if the food was not pricy.

    Food: 3/4 Service: 3/4 Ambiance: 4/5 Ordered smoke shake thru door dash for pick up, I arrived at the restaurant early and waited. Estimated ready time was kept delaying. After about 5-10 minutes I went up to the window and ask for my order. It had been ready and been sitting for quite some time. They need to stay on top of it. Now my fries are soft and burger was cold. Taste was ok but I would like to get more portion for the price.

    Fries

    Food- I ordered SmokeShack burger. It tasted good but very oily for my liking. The fries were good. Quality is good enough for the price of both burger and fries. Service- I went around 5-6pm; they took a bit long to make my order. But staff seemed friendly. Ambiance- place is clean and well-maintained with laid-back vibe.

    I got the special which was the French onion soup burger. Overall it was tasty. This spot is on the tiny side compared to others I have visited. Staff were friendly and helpful. I think the pick up window on the side is a nice touch. Overall a good experience.

    Chick'n Bites, spicy fries, regular fries

    I order a Carolina BBQ burger with fried pickles, spicy fries, regular fries, and Chick'n Bites. You order digital on a screen. The service was great. When my food was ready the staff brought it out and asked if I wanted anything else, which is very nice. I really like the taste of the Carolina BBQ burger. The fried pickles were a nice touch and the spicy fries were good. It would be great if they had something along the lines of a buffalo sauce. To add any spicy all they had was Tabasco sauce. Both the people in my party thought the Chick'n Bites were really salty. They weren't something we would eat again.

    Patio

    This location is on a corner with a very small parking lot of its own. A few handicap parking spaces and maybe less than 10 regular parking. We found parking on the street and walked down. They have a self kiosk to place your order or you can go up to the counter to place your order. You can grab a number card and attach that to your order. If not, they will call your name and bring that to you. There are 2 sets of bathrooms. The woman's restroom has two stalls and a baby changing table. The other restroom is good for any gender. It also requires a code to enter. As I grow in age, my stomach has decreased. I ordered a single BBQ bacon cheeseburger with fries and a coke. That was enough for me. Hubby ordered a double with a Dubai shake. He said it was so sweet it made his jaw hurt. It was a beautiful day to sit outside in the patio, but people in their cars on the street were extremely impatient, loud, and reckless. If noise level is what you are looking for, dont sit in the patio.

    Had to try the new chicken sandwich based on some vids. The sandwich is big and fillings over the soft bun, it's pretty tasty. The chicken is crisp and tender and juicy inside but a tad greasy. This is not a spicy sandwich but I feel it could have used a little cayenne.

    Truffle Burger
    Helen L.

    Shake shack, the burger joint that originated from the east coast. Came to this location a couple times and tried the: truffle burger 10/10 cheeseburger with the mushroom cheese patty 10/10 fries 10/10 limited time Dubai chocolate shake 7/10 I love that they don't salt their fries but I wish they had black pepper that I could mix with the ketchup. Everything was delicious, however, I agree with the other reviewer that the burgers at this location are small. There's also limited parking here, about 10 spots where the store front is, and additional 6 or so spots behind their parking lot.

    Strawberry shake
    Francisco M.

    This location has limited parking at the private lot. But there is street parking nearby, although check for when parking is allowed in the allocated times. There's a good amount of seating outside since traffic comes amd goes. They even have heated lamps above for chillier days. The service was quick for online pickup. They even have a section dedicated for online order pickup. The strawberry shake was good. They have the standard narrow straw but you can still easily drink it. The black truffle burger was okay. Flavor-wise it's great, it's a shame the black Truffle is being discontinued. The burger meat itself was just okay. But for the price, it doesn't seem like a good deal compared to other establishments.

    Dubai chocolate shake
    Krupa S.

    This is only for the limited time dubai chocolate shake, it's phenomenal and totally worth the hype if you're obsessed with pistachios and chocolate. It's fairly sweet but definitely hits the craving. The only downside is that they only sell 25 a day, and it sells out within 30 minutes of opening so if you want to try it, definitely get there early!! Highly recommend

    Beautiful day for outdoor dining

    We found parking in the lot (it's a hit and miss depending on how busy)! We came during Cheeseburger week where Shake Shack is one of the participating restaurants that will give you a deal ($5 for a plain cheese burger)! I actually really liked the flavor of the beef and it tastes very similar to In N Out. The size is as small as In N Out's plain cheeseburger too. Their chicken mcnuggets were way too salty though so I don't recommend getting those. There was plenty of seating and I always appreciate when I can get my own water and napkins! Yay!

    Unfortunately had a below average experience. Was expecting better. Place is very airy and nice, with glass walls with indoor and outdoor dining. Lots of choices for burgers, shakes and fries. We ordered using the app. The email confirmation said we would get a text, but we never did. Out of confusion, I asked the pick up window and all the food was sitting on the shelf. When we opened it, the food was not hot and more like lukewarm. The burger meat was tasty and good. Fries were crispy, but lukewarm and not many considering I paid $6 for it. The lemonade surprisingly had no lemonade, and tasted like sparkling water. Fortunately the manager quickly got me a new one and it was good. This location was very crowded and felt popular. I personally wouldn't go again due to this experience. They have a parking lot, but it is very small.

    If you are looking for a good bite for lunch, this is the spot. We experienced Shake Shack during burger month which seemed to be a great deal. The food was high quality albeit it smaller than most lunches served at nearby joints. The fries were a 1,000% better than in n out. I loved the crunch of the exterior and the mush interior. The perfect fry in my opinion. The protein style option made the burger definitely guilt free. I would definitly come back when in the area. The parking lot in the back too provides a huge incentive to visit here.

And as long as you're in line by 7pm, they will take your order. The place has fried chicken, fries and fried pickles if you know to ask. And like a more well-known joint, they have a secret menu. The chicken is fantastic. Heat levels go from Country (almost zero spice) to their 6th level of hell they call 'Howlin' level. If you're psychotic enough you can have the 7th level of hell 'Howlin+' and '++". I' will warn you that 'Howlin' level is damn hot. You need to be 18 or older to order and you sign an aknowledgement saying you know. It has a bite. If you like spicy and love to keep your tastebuds, I recommend Medium or Medium +. I also prefer their tenders over the chicken with bone. But to each their own. During the summer heat, they provide sun blocking umbrellas for those waiting in line. Peak hours, you will need to wait for seating and someone there will assist you. They also offer free still water and soda water. Place is clean and inviting. The staff is damn awesome. All are friendly and they tend to remember your usual order if you go often enough. I usually go once or twice a week. Prices are typical. Better than that 'other' spicy chicken joint. And they are only open from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am - 7pm. During the three weekdays, the first hour and the hours between 4 to 5 usually have fewer people in line. All and all great spicy chicken, price is decent, and worth the 30-minute wait.

We both ordered bacon and sausage burritos with extra crispy hash browns and two (2) medium Sprites... my sister wanted her burrito cut in half but I didn't and that's what we told them because they do ask when you're ordering... Here's where the problems started and why I gave them a low rating!!! Both burritos were cut in half and neither burrito had crispy hash browns!!! The hash browns were actually mushy!!! My sister was given a bacon and ham burrito and although they add a lot of bacon to their burritos and they chop it so it's mixed throughout the burritos, the sausages were left as whole links and placed together so when the burrito is rolled, all of the sausage is on one side and not mixed through!!! Each bite should be a mix of ingredients and not just bad sausage links!!! The scrambled eggs were over cooked and their salsa is extremely bland and if it's not going to have any spice, then just make it as a pico for more flavor and textural contrast!!! Lastly, the video on Facebook must've been very old because the two (2) burritos and two (2) drinks were more than $35.00!!! Just a complete waste of time, money and the gas it took to drive there!!! If this is "Pasadena's Best Breakfast Burrito" then that's just sad!!! These were clearly not great burritos!!! Looks like "Lucky Boy" has let their standards slip which is also sad because they were busy so customers should demand better quality food and by the way, Pasadena can keep them... we won't be going back!!!
