    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.

    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

    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.

    First time here and I must say, the people they employ really made it a wonderful experience. The food was on point and hit every note... does food have notes? The smoke shack had a nice subtle heat that was a prefect balanced to the burger. The wife loved her burger as well. The fries were great and the cheese was high quality cheddary.

    I finally decided to give this place a try now that they aren't as busy as they were when they first opened this location. I've heard so many good things about Shake Shack so I was looking forward to it. We decided to order the bourbon bacon cheddar burger, a double bacon cheese burger, and we also ordered a fry and drink. When we ordered the bourbon burger we were told they were out of the white cheddar cheese, we were disappointed as this was something we really wanted to try. I asked if we could just get regular cheddar and was told they were out of cheddar and only had American cheese. My friend does not like American cheese, so for that burger we just did no cheese. It was kind of disappointing when they're advertising this burger as a new one to try yet they don't have all the toppings available. When we ordered our drink they told us they were out of lids so we were just given a straw. I'm not sure why they were out of things, maybe this is common here? Our food came out quickly. It was hot and looked really good. I was a little disappointed in the fries though, it didn't come with very many. For $3.10 it's pretty disappointing. The burger had really really good flavor though. All in all I would probably come back here and give them another chance. It was a little disappointing that they were out of a few things and that our portion of fries were so small, but maybe next time will be better.

    Man I just still can't seem to get on board. I love their "Shackago" Dog, but for $5? And their Chicken nuggets are pretty good, but again, it's just too pricey for my taste. Those are my two go to's if I have to come here, otherwise I'm just not too impressed. Either that, or my tastebuds are way off from everyone else's, because there always seems to be a line. The fries are crinkle cut, nothing special, and again for the price you pay, I'd wish for it to feed more than a hungry millennial. I recommend not getting the cheese on top either, unless you enjoy fake cheese whiz. The shakes are nothing to write home about either, we tried their salted caramel one and it had little flavor. I just cannot get over the price, it blows my mind. My family of four ordered food to share (a hotdog, two 10 piece chicken nuggets, shake, and fry, and four waters) for approximately $30. We were still starving and had to go back for the same order--spent $50 feeding us that night, when I could've gone down the road to many of the other surrounding restaurants for half the price. I don't know, I'm mostly sad. Sad that it's just never been very tasty for me. To each their own, read this review as well as others and determine for yourself whether or not you want to come. 3 stars for the overall ambiance and customer service, the employees are kind and work hard so that is always a plus. TIPS & TRICKS: * Shares a parking lot with other restaurants and is right off I-15. I am grateful for the convenient location, especially when traveling. * Sadly, the portion sizes are not share worthy, especially if you're hungry. Plan on spending at least $10-15 a person.

    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.

    For those that want some simple review:…read more This place is good, its got a unique take on chicken. I got the classic wrap with half grilled and half fried chicken. I was impressed, would recommend the fried as it was by far better. Lastly the Nashville sauce was on point Can't go wrong going here 4/5 For someone thats bored and has time to read in depth yelp reviews Alright, this was somewhere that I was brought along to by coworkers. I was expecting somewhere that was similar to any other chicken joint in utah(as they have been flooding every corner...you can't escape chicken here....). BUT, the vibe here was okay, I definitely wouldn't go as far to say it was in a nice area but it felt like I went to an old taco time that half committed to a renovation. That's to say that it was perfectly fine to sit in and I didn't have any problem with it, besides that it was an old building. As for the chicken, they have plenty of options for you to choose from, for a chicken restaurant, you could have it in tenders, sandwiches, wraps, salads, or wings. The loaded fries were highly recommended by my friends but I will say I did not feel like destroying my stomach that day. In of its self, I would say that the wrap was pretty tasty, the chicken was well made and the sauce was as good as I could've hoped. The fries were also on point and wrapped up a good meal, would I say that this is the best food in the area? No, but you wont be disappointed in making a stop here if you feel like getting away from the ever growing empire of chick-fil-a.

    It's definitely a middle of the road chicken option. Maybe I came with high expectations, but…read morehonestly the fries were dry and the fried tenders tasted like they were fried in old overused oil. Not sure if I'd come back. Disappointed because I really wanted to like it.

We chose it because it was close to the hotel how lucky are we. We went with a group of five. We ordered three entrees and a side of wings. The wings were our starter and they were fantastic black and wings are great highly recommend. My wife and I split the fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy and the cornbread it was absolutely fantastic cannot speak highly enough. My mom and dad split the shrimp and grits which they also said was great I did try the grits they were lovely, gooey, cheesy awesomeness. My sister had the kale salad as she needs gluten-free options it was easily the largest most fantastic looking kale salad I've ever seen, and she said it was great. The last thing I would probably comment on is the sauces with a name like sauce boss it better have good sauce and it did. Each and every sauce was unique from others I've had but didn't disappoint all where extremely tasty I especially like the spicy one that came with the fried chicken. At this restaurant they don't have salt and pepper on the table and for good reason everything was spiced and seasoned very well. As for service, our server was very attentive, very kind, made great suggestions and all that being that we came in within a half an hour, 45 minutes of closing, you can't beat that!!! If you want boring food don't eat here. If you want the same plain Jane thing you find at every other chain, don't eat here! On the other hand, if you want amazingly tasty food, service and sauces and a good story to tell eat here!!!

    Draper, Utah…read more Southern food? Fried catfish? All in the middle of Utah? I had to try it. This is a sit down and order restaurant. Very casual inside, white walls with metal chairs and concrete floor. Very simple. Very small space. About 14 tables. I have food, allergies, and the waitress answered all of my questions. But then she sent the chef/owner, Julius, over to talk with me. Pleasant man from Chicago. But his recipes are all from his family who lived in the South. I ordered the fried catfish which is accompanied with two sides. I chose the candied yams and the mac & cheese. My husband ordered the fried chicken with mashed potatoes, potatoes, and gravy and the macaroni and cheese. Both plates are served with a slice of cornbread with a large honey butter smothered on top. The food came out very hot. The breading on the catfish is very thick and a lot of spices. I was pleasantly surprised when I cut my catfish and discovered it was deboned and tender. The mac & cheese was creamy and the candied yams were super sweet. Just the way I prefer them. They did seem a bit runny, but the flavor was good. The fried chicken was unbelievably moist. The breading was thick and crunchy. The mashed potatoes were of course, homemade with spices, and the brown gravy is chicken based. The cornbread was delicious. Comes with a slab of honey butter. I only wish it was served warm. It would've made the experience perfect. The food portions are large. The food has wonderful flavor with the perfect spice and southern heat. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I would give it 4.8 stars. The only two things that brought it down from a perfect score were the cornbread being cold, and the restaurant was not a cozy feel. Please come check this restaurant out and meet Julius.
