    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.

    Cindy S.

    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.

Tonight we decided to switch things up a little, and hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Normally we prefer the quarter-pound patty, but this one was slightly thicker, which definitely made us feel full a lot quicker. That said, the burger was still super juicy, had the right filling-to-meat ratio, and came on that perfectly soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. Solid choice. I stuck with my usual chicken breast salad, and it was delicious as always. Fresh, satisfying, and dependable -- although I'll admit I'm still not a fan of bell peppers, so those got politely pushed to the side. One thing I have noticed over time is that the fries seem to be getting a little smaller in portion each visit. I also miss the thicker-cut fries from about six months ago -- those were my favorite. The current ones still do the job, but the old style definitely had my heart. Overall, this is still a definite must-try spot if you're craving a good burger. Consistent, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Happy eats!

This is a burger joint with a diverse menu, including one of the biggest breakfast burritos in town. I got my burrito with bacon. The burrito comes with hashbrown style potatoes, eggs and cheese - you get a choice of ham, bacon or sausage for your meat (or have it without meat). The bacon was crispy and remained crispy when I reheated my other half. Not only is the bacon crispy, the burrito has a generous amount of it! Oh and the other plus - the tortilla does not come wet and soggy and remains in perfect condition if you have leftovers. The burrito comes with only one salsa and to be honest, you really do need two for such a big burrito. I'm a green salsa girl but I asked what I should go with and I was recommended the red one (the green one is supposedly spicier). The red salsa did not disappoint other than I needed one more for my whole burrito (there's no kick to this salsa but it's tasty). The burrito itself isn't bursting with flavor on its own and it requires the salsa to compliment the other ingredients. But, who eats a breakfast burrito without salsa? There is ample parking in their parking lot and there's seating both inside and outside. I will definitely be returning to satisfy my breakfast burrito craving very soon and if this is what you're looking for - stop reading reviews and go get you one at Lucky Boy (it's served all day).

Picked up my order after a short wait. Cleaned off my own table and sat down. Burger looked decent, fries looked amazing and can never say anything bad about a classic coke. First bite of the burger was a little disappointing. Burger was thin and seemed overcooked to me. I thought it was dry. Roll, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo were ok. Not bad overall but for some reason I expected a better burger experience. Let's talk about the fries. Truly classic French fried potatoes. Perfectly cooked. Light golden color. Nice texture and flavor. What every French fry should look and taste like. Coke was great. Sorry to say I was not impressed by the burger. This was my experience on 05/09/2026. Could have been cleaner and maybe the burger not overcooked. Your experience may be totally different.

It was always a real treat. As a teenager I dated a couple of the girls that worked there so I was there on the regular in those days. In my 20's I lived right up the street and hit them up quite often. I don't get there as much as I'd like nowadays but when I do, it is always consistently great.

They are always stacked with lots of high quality cold cuts and delicious Provolone, crisp shredded Lettuce,thin sliced Onions and Vinegar and Oil on a delicious French Roll. In my teens and 20's I did try many samplings on their vast menu and as memory serves, everything was always delicious. Today's Grinder absolutely hit the spot!

But the crown jewel of the meal, as it has always been, is the fried zucchini. I have never found better fried zucchini, and trust me, I've been trying for years. Service at the window was just as friendly as I remembered, and we grabbed a spot tucked under the patio instead of staying inside--perfect for people-watching as folks came and went. There's something really special about being welcomed back by a place that tastes exactly like you remember. Connal's still delivers.
