Double smoke shack, and fries with a Coke
Ben B.

The food came quickly and the burger was quite good. The fries were ok. I'm thinking maybe the fry oil needs changing. The service was prompt and cheerful. There's plenty of seating. The tv's could go away in my opinion. I had the double smoke shack and fries. The burger was awesome!

Love Shake Shack and their style of burgers! We stopped in for a quick bite to eat - you can order at the counter, kiosk, or on the app. Service was relatively fast, it seemed like they had a lot of to go orders! We got the Chicken Shack (so yummy and juicy), Double Shack Burger (perfect patties and so yummy), and spicy fries with ranch (they actually had quite a kick! The ranch was great). Overall this is a great location in the CWE and has good service and great food!

Great burger and fries, clean and easy to order. Some homeless lady was trying to beg for some money inside is the only reason for 4 stars and that is more about the area than the restaurant.

I ate here while waiting for my flight. You order your food from an electronic panel, like a big iPad. I had to wait a bit for my food, but the wait wasn't any longer than at a typical Shake Shack. They had very little (no?) seating so I ate at my gate. The food was good, as good as I'd expect. I do think they were more expensive than usual though; my Smoke Shack burger, regular fries and a small Coke were $18; maybe that's because it's at the airport. Regardless, of the fast food places at Terminal 2, I'd say this is my new go-to place.

Shake Shack in the Central West End is my go to burger place. The Smoke Shack is probably my favorite burger from any chain restaurant. While the Smoke Shack is the only burger I get, I always get a different shake or fries while I am there and am rarely disappointed. If it was only a discussion about the food Shake Shack would be a five out of five for me. That being said there are some things about this location and Shake Shack in general that leave a little to be desired. For starters, the prices are high for a chain burger place. I have seen some other reviews that say that this is specific to the STL locations, but regardless I always feel like I am spending more that I should be. As for the service, I feel very indifferent. I think that they are typically quick, but there have been some times where we have had to wait nearly 20 minutes when there is no one else in the restaurant. Finally, the Central West end location from an aesthetic perspective is uninteresting and leaves no real reason to stay and eat. All that being said, the Smoke Shack is my comfort burger that I will come back time and time again for! I just find myself ordering takeout more often than not.

I love Shake Shack! One of my favorite fast food burgers. Plus the milkshakes are bomb. The fries are okay in my opinion but not bad. At this location, service has been good but not amazing. Food comes out pretty quickly. - Smokeshack (4.5/5): Always delicious, so flavorful. Love the peppers and the flavor of the burger. My go to. - Oreo shake (4.5/5): Super creamy, love the huge chunks of Oreo. - Cheese fries (4/5): A bit salty with the cheese, but still good.

Came in a few weeks ago with the work crew for a goodbye lunch. A co-worker was leaving and loves burgers. He'd never been and was excited to try. Parking sucks, if you're able to walk or carpool, I highly suggest those options, otherwise good luck with finding a parking spot and be prepared to pay for the meters. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The food is extremely overpriced and simply just OK........ I purchased an Oreo shake, small fry, single smokeshack, sauce on the side and 6pc chicken bite. The best part of my meal was the shake. The burger was lacking a little something, something. The fries were hot-n-fresh but still just average. The chicken I was taking home as a treat for my fur-baby but I ended up just giving them to my mother since I stopped by her house after work. My co-worker swore by the shroomburger, I should have tried that. I tasted Shake Shack when they 1st opened and my sister brought burgers to the house and it was really good. I don't know what's happened. I find this location to be very hit-n-miss. One occasion I stopped in after having drinks in the area with the BF and the place smelled sooo putrid we refused to stay and eat. I would have to highly think about returning.

First time and it was enjoyable. The menu was as straightforward. The shake shack burger was a little small but tasty. I ordered and devoured the cookies and cream shake. The dining room was big and very clean. If you are dining in then they give you a number and they bring it to your table. They are pretty efficient. The downside of this location is the no parking lot and lack of close street parking.

I feel like there is always a line to order and then a little bit of a longer wait for the food. It's still great, don't get me wrong. But, sometimes it just seems that the price of the meal doesn't add up to the size of the meal. It's pricey that some burger places. The parts of the burger that I do like is how they can make the patty a little more crispy on the ends. The fries are nothing special, but I always still get them cause they are a classic. I didn't picture the shake. Sometimes they have rotating shakes based on the season, so those are always fun to try. But, I think I've never been that big of a fan of milkshakes, so I would just give it a 3/5.

This location is a hit or miss. Sometimes they can mess your order up, and sometimes they can knock it out of the park. Can't go wrong with their double smoke stack burger. Cheese fries is a must if you want to push it to the limit.

I My sons and I were visiting STL from out of states. We walked to this location from the hotel…read more(~10mins) on a Thursday night. I often saw the other location on Chouteau Ave but apparently this one was closer to hotel, walking distance wise. I regret not going to that location. When I arrived here around 10pm, the inside/walk up order was clocked locked up despite lights being on. There is no signage indicating the hours for that area, unfortunately. Since we already walked there and were hungry, I simply placed a pick up via their website around 10:18pm. Per the tracking, it said my order was ready about 10:25pm. I waited for drive through to clear and went to the window. It wasn't ready yet and I was told to go to the other side. Around 10:35pm, I received the food. My mistake was not checking the order but largely because it was cold and wanted to get back to hotel to eat it before it got cold. For starters, I peeked in the bag when it was given to me by staff and fries were everywhere! Then, Only 1 of the 3 sandwiches were correct! It wasn't even that busy! Order: Cheesy Bacon Clucker (Crispy), BBQ Pretzel Buford, and Pretzel Pubster Burger Combo! The clucker was correct but my Buford was missing the bacon AND the bbq sauce. The pubster burger only had 1 patty vs two and no bacon crumbles. There was no ketchup or napkins in the bag either. This was very disappointing experience. I would have been less upset if it was a regular burger but my bbq Buford cost more due to the extra toppings. I wasted my money. If I had a car, I probably would've went back but we were not going to go there and back in the cold.

Rally's has not disappointed me yet. The burgers are pretty darn tasty, flavorful, and made fresh…read moreevery time. But the real star for me is the seasoned fries! They are crispy, perfectly spiced, and absolutely addictive! They remind me of like a state fair LOL. The portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable for the quality you get. The staff was fast and friendly, and my food came out hot and fresh. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or a late-night bite, Rally's always hits the spot. Highly recommend if you love bold flavor and great value! I went during the late night around 2 to 3 AM and the fella in the drive thru window was really friendly (super funny too) and was really helpful. Our food was genuinely really spot on.
