    Came here for a quick bite to eat before our night architecture tour. Luckily, it was not very busy and we were able to snag a table for all of us. Shake shack rarely disappoints, the food was great and we all enjoyed our meal.

    Had to try their new white truffle burger. The burger was delicious, though a bit on the greasy side. The truffle flavor was subtle, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. We also had the white truffle fries which I feel like the sauce could've had a stronger truffle flavor. Also fries were tad bit salty... probably from the parmasan. Even with a crowd, they served us pretty fast. Pretty decent spot if you need a quick bite, if you don't mind the typical fast food vibes.

    I arrived around 12:20pm on a Tuesday afternoon (Christmas Eve) with my son and sister after checking into hotel that was up the street. The smell of the burgers drew us here. I placed an order around 12:25pm via the tablets. My son got a hotdog and fries. I got a double bacon cheese burger and fries. I took a number card and sat down. It can be a little pricey! I dislike that they don't have combos. Fortunately, there was seats available for us as it wasn't that busy. They have a men and women's restroom but also an all gender restroom, which was nice. The restaurant was clean. They have free water available. Our food was brought to us at 12:30pm. It was fresh and delicious! The tasted matched the pleasant aromas. I only went here once during my vacation but if i was a local, I'd definitely be somewhat of a regular.

    I added the ketchup at home, but the burger was nothing id crave

    T-Mobile provided a free hamburger and I always wanted to try. The deal made me spend $5 so I got cheese fries. I downloaded the app and opened an account. It was zero degrees out so I figured probably a good time to go. No crowds. I got a smashburger (no bun cuz the allergen list says it has sesame in it). The burger was nothing special. The lettuce was wilted and there was a tiny tomato on it with onion strips and their sauce. (I added ketchup when I got home with my takeout.) No thanks in the entire burger. I tossed the wilted lettuce after I bit into it. The sauce was not something I would ever care to eat ever again. The meat was nothing special. Sandwich as a whole, I've had WAY better elsewhere. Buona Beef has an epic burger. The crinkle cut fries with cheese were edible but that's the only positive thing I can say. I'd never buy again and sorry to say, I can't see myself choosing to eat here ever again. I permanently deleted my app account and deleted the app. I understand their shakes are good but I won't most likely go back to find out.

    Bacon Cheese Fries

    It's easy, quick, and good. Love the burgers, fries, and the hot dog. I'll stop in after a movie or while shopping for a quick and easy meal. Always busy, but clean and friendly,

    Shack burger add pickles it was good

    Always a solid lunch nice staff I always order shack burger add pickle. This time I wanted extra sauce and onion strips which they did not provide. It's still really good.

    Shackburger and cookies and cream milkshake
    Caryl Y.

    This is my first time trying shake shack and i was not disappointed. Despite going on a very busy time during St Patricks weekend, the service was quick and I was able to find seating. Maybe because it was my first real meal of the day and it was already evening, but the burger was cooked to perfection in my opinion. It was slightly pinkish in the middle and was not dry at all. The vegetables were also crisp and fresh. For drinks, I got their cookies and cream milkshake and it was thick and creamy. Overall, I understand the Shake Shack hype. Now that I tried the east coast rep for fast food burgers, I cant wait to try In n Out next!

    Peach milk shake
    Vincent S.

    I'm impressed by the quality of food compared to the service and cleanliness. The staff were very rude and not excited to be there. It was an inconvenience to even get ketchup. The food was still consistent to the other locations I've been too. Overall, I'm not coming back. Too rude of staff to even feel welcomed.

    Have stopped here many times over the years! Place is always packed, great location. Service is fast, I highly suggest you order at the kiosk. Food is always fresh. Place is pretty clean, I'm shocked it's as clean as it is as they're always busy! Mixed personalities. But for the most part they're nice and pleasant.

    Peach tea, fries, a beef burger,  and a crispy-fried portobello burger
    Shandi P.

    I have only been to Shake Shack in an airport, and the real thing is far better! First, they were fast. It was really busy, and we still only waited maybe 12 or 15 minutes. Second, I had never had a fried (and cheese-stuffed) portobello burger before, and it was fantastic. Third, the fries were perfectly cooked and came with a little fry fork. Finally, it was a pleasant and clean place to eat late at night when most everything else was closed. I'll probably never again write a review like this of a fast food chain, so thanks!

    This Shake Shack is in the heart of Chicago and had a large modern dining area. Food Quality: 4/5 The double Avocado Bacon Burger was about what you would expect. The cheese was melted, and the char on the burger was nice. The fries were pretty average and the cheese sauce was good but could have benefited from being warmer. Atmosphere: 5/5 Very modern interior. Service: 3/5 The order taker wasn't particularly friendly. Not rude, but very transactional. It took while to get the order, but there was a decent number of people in the kitchen working hard. I didn't see any crew member come into the dining room during my visit. This is the type of place that makes me question the "tip" button on the credit card reader. I filled my drink, I cleaned up my table when I was done. I should have tipped myself.lol Value: 2/5 I spent $20.43 for a burger and fries. It was good but definitely Shake Shack/Chicago prices for what you get. I think they forgot the 2nd patty for my burger, which I should have brought to the managers attention, but I was in a hurry and just ate it. Overall: 3/5 It was good but not worth $20.43. The burger tasted fine but I wasn't full when I left. There are lots of options in this area, so I would go somewhere else next time.

    Obviously if I go somewhere that has a Ghirardelli, I'm making it a point to stop by during my…read moretrip. And so it was that we found ourselves inside this location of Ghirardelli during our Chicago trip. I wound up ordering what I always order, the World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae ("Vanilla ice cream and handmade hot fudge topped with whipped cream, diced almonds, a cherry, and a Milk Chocolate Caramel Square"). It was ready within minutes and of course it's terrific. All the components work so well together, and that hot fudge sauce remains one of my favorite things ever. (Do I wish they had included more of it? Yes, absolutely.) Don't ever change, Ghirardelli. You're great. (And please come to Canada some day!)

    While visiting Chicago lately and wanting to warm up with a nice, warm beverage, my friend and I…read morecame across the Chicago Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate Shop on Michigan Avenue, and we immediately went inside and upstairs to place an order for hot chocolate. And we certainly are glad we did...it was delicious!! While Ghirardelli Chocolate was founded in San Francisco in 1852, Chicago is fortunate to have a vibrant and welcoming shop where any visitors can indulge in the ultimate chocolate experience whether purchasing chocolate gifts or placing an order at their made in-house restaurant upstairs. They make decadent hot fudge sundaes with handmade hot fudge made fresh daily from Ghirardelli Chocolate along with a sample signature chocolate square. This particular store is open on Monday through Thursday from 11 AM to 9 PM, Friday from 11 AM to 10 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 11 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 9 PM. I jumped at ordering a Classic Hot Cocoa, which offers a luxuriously deep chocolate flavor that comes through their beverage while topped with whipped cream and dusted with cocoa powder. It was served with a milk chocolate caramel Ghirardelli square. They also served shakes, coffee drinks, and more along with their huge chocolate Pick & Mix selection (where you choose your own flavors), chocolate gifts, chocolate bars, and chocolate gift bags. Go to their website (https://www.ghirardelli.com) and sign up for their e-mail newsletter to receive 15% off an order while also receiving e-mails with special offers. Another deal is that you can get free standard shipping on orders of $75 or more. I'm already dreaming of my next Ghirardelli made in-house beverage and chocolate square. Yum!!!

It's pretty small inside, there are only a few tables. A server comes to your table to place your order, which I feel like never happens at ice cream shops anymore! The menu is huge! There were multiple sections to banana splits, sundaes, and shakes. We decided to go with something simple.

(The fact that the joint's been around for over 100 years doesn't hurt either.) It's a small restaurant but we managed to snag a cozy table near the back. We'd already spent most of the day eating, so we decided to share the Atomic Fudge Sundae. It's a fairly enormous concoction. I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.
