    'Shroom Burger & Cheese Fries
    Dana C.

    Made my stomach queasy very greasy & salty. I had the Korean BBQ, I don't know if they accidentally gave me a cheese burger but it had absolutely no barbecue. My daughter had the Shroom burger it was greasy & had way too much cheese. Cheese fries weren't fresh & the cheese was thick & tasted off. Chocolate shake was thick & good. Bathroom was dirty, paper towels on the floor & the garbage was overflowing. Dining room was okay not really clean a little sticky. Staff brought out our order promptly.

    I loved the Usinger's Jalapeño Cheesy Brat and the triple Chocolate Brownie Shake. The atmosphere was airy and comfortable. The gal taking our order was nice. Two places they could improve on is the condiment bar. All three ketchup containers were empty. Fries just aren't the same without them. Also water cups are very small.

    the burger here was outstanding. i never been to a shake shack before but will seek them out in the future. in my opinion, much better than In and Out burgers. But I also heard from the concierge (from my hotel) that this location is better than others. So, i will locate other Shake Shack locations and experience them myself. But this place served a very very good burger.

    Cheeseburger, fries & shake

    My family went to this location on Friday August 27th a little after 7p for dinner. This was their first time trying their food & shakes. They all order burgers, fries, shakes & just an heads up everything is À la cart (dinner will be pricey for a family of 3 or more). They were not impressed by their food, shakes & their burgers are small. We were hoping for delicious food due to reviews but was highly disappointed. A tip for the business: when ordering shakes w/ whipped cream please label on shakes so the customer knows who the shakes belongs too.

    Hot Ones-  Chicken and fries with cheese

    Shake shack is overall great! The food came quickly and seems like good quality. I got a hot chicken sandwich and added lettuce, tomato, and pickles which I would highly recommend! It was spicy but had actual flavor as opposed to just being spicy. The fries were fresh and crispy. I love their cheese sauce but prefer it on the side so the fries don't get soggy. I do think for more of a fast food vibe the price is a bit higher than expected but the service is great and they do bring your food to your table which is nice.

    The Korean fried chicken sandwich was the only reason for me giving this place a try. It left me a bit disappointed. I guess I had very higher expectations. Ordering and getting our food was a bit longer than I expected, we waiting probably 25-30mins before getting our food, which we order to go. Here's my take on the food. Korean fried chicken sandwich 3/5 Chicken was a bit dried, the sauce didn't wow me, wish it had a little more spicy kick to it. But i doubt it was Koreans that came up with the recipe, correct me if I'm wrong. I've had actually Korean fried chicken and it is bomb but in this sandwich it didn't really work for me. Would I come back it get another one, probably not. Maybe in the future I'll try something else and give another review. For now I'll leave it at this. Fries 2/5 There was nothing special about their fries. Giving my first experience review a 3/5.

    I love me some Shake Shack and can't believe I've held out until now on visiting. We were driving around Milwaukee and just wanted something quick when we got a craving for burgers! Their online order system was really easy and within 12 minutes our food was ready! Inside they had good social distance and everyone wore masks. They placed the to go orders on a table all packed up. I had the cookies and cream shake and boy was it devious and creamy! Their burgers are always fresh tasting and I love the crinkle cut fries!

    Shake Shack burgers are absolutely delicious. They rival and even exceed most pub-style burgers. So are their chicken sandwiches. My only lament is that they did away with the spicy one. :( One thing I really like about the business - at least this one, 3rd Ward Milwaukee - is that the employees really care. You will never, ever find that ubiquitous "this is just a fast-food restaurant so go f--- yourself" attitude here. They care. I've eaten here at least 50 times.

    Truffle fries and sauce, orange 50/50 drink, vanilla custard.

    Easy to order from the kiosk. Plenty of food options. Lots of seating. Downtown location is convenient.

    I LOVE Shake Shack! I'm so happy we finally have a location in Wisconsin. You can't go wrong with a shack burger, cheese fries, and one of their specialty shakes! Their shack burger is a classic burger that is simple yet juicy. I only wish it was bigger. If you're feeling adventurous I would recommend the shack stack. It's their shack burger and shroom burger combined. It's hot and cheesy. Their cheese fries are also generously covered in cheese. I recommend all of their shakes. My favorites have been the holiday sugar cookie and their recent, cookies and cream. The location is great. Parking can be an issue sometimes but not often. People tend to say that Shake Shack is overpriced but I never leave disappointed. I'm definitely willingly to spend the extra couple bucks for fast service and a great burger!

    Who doesn't love themselves a good burger and shake! So coming to shake shack you should already have a good idea what to expect, but if not here is a quick list! Burgers-Good Shakes-Delicious Fries-Really Good Price for portion- Pricey Overall I personally think shake shack is one of the best places for fast food burgers. It is a little pricey for all you get which is a bummer, but I'm never disappointed on the food! This location lives up to the shake shack standards and I have no complaints!

    idk if the brown skin girl with the small burleigh street pony tail and hospital shoes tired of her job because of summer fest or just plain mad at the world because of the cards life dealt her but someone needs to educate her on proper customer service or explain to her that the job she has is meant for college students/ young people that want to make a living for themselves and not people who look 30, with cheap lashes, and bad posture like she was born with scoliosis but she caught an attitude because i asked for my sandwich to be remade after I received it raw and pink and then had the audacity to stop making a shake to chime in a conversation that didn't start with her in the first place to scream "what", and pop her hip with attitude thinking that is supposed to intimidate someone. when she was told by the other employee that it was pink she got extra upset and said they all come pink. so if you don't want E. coli / pink food I would suggest you go to the one in brookfield they come cooked to perfection.

The ice cream is ridiculously smooth, rich, and packed with flavor--like you can tell right away this isn't your average scoop. Everything is handcrafted with high-quality ingredients, and they even rotate unique flavors that keep you coming back just to see what's new. From classics to wild combos (yes... whiskey ice cream is a thing), every bite hits. And let's talk portions... that "double scoop" is basically a challenge in disguise. No complaints though. The vibe is awesome too--laid back, creative, and full of energy. It feels like one of those spots you stumble into and immediately know it's gonna be a regular stop. Fast service too! Honestly, it felt like stepping into a Kangra Knova track-- "Take you up so high... into outer space" because that's exactly what this ice cream does

The other girl asked to see my receipt and she found my order in a paper bag on the counter and it was forgotten about (I did not ask for a bag and I said I didn't need lids when I ordered). I received the order and when I opened it, they didn't give me spoons. I asked for spoons and the girl seemed annoyed. No apology for the mix up or anything. Also, I went to use the bathroom and it was disgusting. Very dirty, see the video. The icecream tasted great though.

This was the first time I've been in this building since it was the Grand Avenue Mall lol. I originally was going to go to Pizza Shuttle but they were not opened yet so I decided to go with a cheeseburger and fries here at Dairyland. I was told their burgers come with 2 patties which I was totally fine with. As always I went with ketchup, mustard and pickles. I didn't know until a day later I could've got was the old fashioned which is almost like the original cheeseburger but it comes with brown mustard instead of yellow. I like both mustards but I will take brown over yellow any day. I didn't really have to wait long for my order which was a plus. The burger and fries were seasoned well. The fries kind of gave you that Checker's fries vibe and I believe the same seasoning was used on the burger. The burger was nice and juice and was served on a sesame seed bun. The cheese was nice and melty and gooey too. For what I spent for the burger and fries I would pay that amount at Kopp's but that would include a shake, but because I don't spend that kind of coin for a cheeseburger meal like that it's okay. My only criticism is that they used a touch too much mustard, but the overall hot and freshness of my meal I would order from here again.
