    ShackBurger with a Mountain View
    Liv L.

    What's not to love shake shack with a view- yes please! Staff were friendly, food was delicious per usual and ready quickly. Love the school yard patio- faces the mountains with some yard games outside that can be played. Great visit!

    Spicy Cheese Fries

    Their burgers are super flavorful and yummy! And so are their shakes. I tried their spicy cheese fries and those were super delicious. Loved the thick fries, the nacho cheese was good too, it didn't seem as synthetic as some places with nacho cheese (cough Taco Bell) the cashier named crystal was very nice. The restaurant was clean and it had a lot of natural lighting which I liked. Overall it's a great spot for burgers, fries and shakes. Can't go wrong.

    It was big when Shake Shack popped up in Utah. Like, a week after it opened I decided turn around when I saw the line stretching out the door and wrapping around the building. Years later, I finally decided to check it out and get myself a meal years in the making. It was alright. I took my order to go and got the classic BBQ burger. I went single patty so it wouldn't explode over my hands. I also ordered cherry limeade to wash it down. The smash burger was a little too smashed resulting in it being a little overcooked and robbing the whole of some needed volume (maybe I should've gone double). The pickles were fresh and fried onions make pretty much anything good. I learned cherry limeade just doesn't work as a concept for me. If it's your thing, go for it. As someone who places crinkle cut fries in the bottom tier of fries, these were pretty damn good and did not survive my drive home. Shout out to Crystal, the cashier.

    My husband and I went to the school yard location last week because he'd been craving shake shack. The staff member taking our order was helpful and friendly. The restaurant was clean and had a nice vibe. He got the avocado bacon burger and I tried the shack stack which has a fried stuffed portobello mushroom on top of a regular burger patty. We shared fries and one of their new holiday shakes, the chocolate Yule log one. The food was hot and fresh. The fries were crisp and delicious. The shake was tasty but a little chocolate overload for my liking (I'd have it again but do the vanilla custard base instead of chocolate). The burgers were flavorful and cooked to perfection. My burger was a little much for me and although being delicious and literally bursting with Melty cheese, I'll probably get a bacon burger next time. If you've never tried shake shack I'd suggest giving it a try and this location did not disappoint.

    We haven't been here for awhile but I was craving a good burger . We got the White Truffle Burger . This was amazing ! My husband loved it . He can't quit talking about it & already wants to go back to get it again . It is a Fontina cheeseburger with white truffle sauce with truffle oil & crispy sweet onions . The BEST burger he has ever had . I got the double hamburger adding tomato & lettuce . I love how crispy , thin & hot the burger is . The bun is so soft. We love their shack sauce. This location is always so clean & service is fast . They offer coke products .

    Gotta be the best fast food burger! And the shakes are elite. I was just gonna order a regular burger but the cashier talked me into the mushroom truffle and it was crazy good!

    Shake Shack is good. They have good burgers and good chicken. It's a bit expensive for what it is. They do have good crinkle cut fries. Also, good shakes.

    We come here maybe once per week and usually the food is great hence the four stars but today we decided to try two ten piece chicken bites with our fries instead of burgers because we wanted something lighter and there was an off putting amount of oil in the chicken bites that did not get drained after frying and even after setting the last five chicken bites on a paper napkin -- you can see the amount of oil from just 25% of the chicken bites we ordered -- the predominant flavor was oil not chicken. Extremely disappointing flavor. In addition, the breading was not crisp. We got our order to go but ate in the parking lot since it's a nice view so it should have still been crisp but the breading on the chicken bites was much thinner than the breading we've had on the chicken sandwich. It fell off the chicken and fell into the dipping sauce instead of staying on the chicken. Overall my husband and I were so disappointed both with the texture and flavor. Not sure if this is how they're usually made but based on today we would not get them again. Burgers are still great as of our last visit last week and employees are friendly.

    Tiny nuggets

    I was victimized by shrinkflation!!!! My last visit to shake shack was about a year ago in New York where I had an awesome meal. I was disappointed today when I visited shake shack in Utah, spent 30$, and was served basically popcorn chicken. It is hard to tell in the photo, but the nuggets are much smaller than what I had previously and what you get at chick fil a. You can tell that they're really trying to adjust their margins with little things like keeping their utensils behind the counter and the size of sauces getting smaller. I hope our economy can recover and that shake shack can be what it used to be. Until then, I will wait to return.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Alisha L.

    Mr Friendly Saved the day. I recently tired Shake Shack for the first time. I wasn't familiar with the menu at all. It seemed a safe place in regards to covid. We wanted to order to-go and walked inside to order. At the time they were taking orders outside. Nobody was there to help us so inside we went. I ordered the mushroom burger.... now this was confusing. After my order was placed I returned to the car to wait. As I started reading reviews I noticed a comment about how the mushroom burger was vegetarian and had NO MEAT. That is not what I intended to order and went running in to change my order. I was greeted by the most friendly guy. He helped me immediately, because the cheeseburger cost less then the mushroom burger he added in a shake. He saved my experience... We ordered a few things to try... cheeseburger, fry's, spicy nuggets, and a spicy chicken sandwich. The food look pretty yummy but.... the chicken was ridiculously seasoned with spices and super dry. It was uneditable. The burger was over priced and it and the chicken sandwich were smaller than my fist. The shake wasn't all that either. Ending impression... this place is overhyped and over priced. I love a good burger and fries and this is not the place to satisfy that craving.

    Bourbon burger and bacon cheese burger.

    Any vegan options?

    The mushroom burger is vegetarian, but not vegan.

    How long is the wait currently?

    I drove by at 7pm and the line is out the door. I didn't ask the wait time but from the line and other reviews it looks like 30 minutes to an hour.

    How are the lines today?

    Looks like 25 mins if the line is at the corner of the parking lot where the handicapped parking is.

They had a lot of fun flavors, but it was mostly an unflavored ice cream base with a bunch of mix ins. We got the oreo & ice cream sandwich mix in one and all we tasted was the great value brand ice cream sandwich in each bite. I wish the base ice cream had more flavor. The best part was the cone. They are served warm and the flavor was perfect. The cone carries the ice cream. It's also a spendier ice cream (we paid $9 for 2 scoops and a cone). For the price i'd recommend Coldstone instead. The experience was fun though. The workers were in costumes and all the decor was centered around the 1700s. The workers were so sweet and did a great job.

We hit five different places around the Salt Lake valley and lived to tell about it; with only a slight stomachache. This one is a drive through with a small walk-up window and seating outside. It happened to be our last stop on our journey and was the perfect ending to our adventure! We ordered our cones at the window and then sat on the patio in the warm evening air, enjoying our final treats of the day. The patio is situated between two drive through lines, so the setting is a little unusual, but still good vibes. Blue Moo offers Blue Bell ice cream (IYKYK) and is generous in their portion sizes.

It's similar to ice cream but denser and richer because it's churned in a special machine that incorporates significantly less air. It also must contain egg yolks, which many ice creams skip entirely. The result is a smoother, more indulgent texture that's in a category of its own. Nielsen's leans into that heritage with a menu that covers concretes, mix-ins, floats, sundaes, multiple sizes, and a full food menu straight out of a 1950s cafeteria. Nostalgic, ambitious, and a lot to choose from. I visited the South Jordan location and have to be honest about the full experience. The tables were dirty, the staff (mostly teenagers) were focused on the counter and not on cleaning, and the wait was long enough that I nearly walked out. The double burger was unremarkable, the fries came out unsalted, but the corn dog was surprisingly good. None of that is why you're here, though. The cherry almond concrete is why you're here. It is outstanding! Generous almond pieces throughout, and the cherry flavor tasted genuinely real, not like something from a syrup bottle.
