It was good to be honest just need to clean and refresh the carpets in the entrance because it gives it a dirty smell coming inn guys so get the washed please. Service was ok they forgot the frys but everything else was good clean restrooms also.

Dubai chocolate pistachio shake
Carly M.

This has got to be the cleanest & quietest shake shack I've been to. We ordered the limited edition Dubai pistachio chocolate shake. It was good, but it didn't really have that signature Dubai chocolate flavor we were hoping for. We couldn't taste any pistachio, and it honestly felt like the pistachio chunks were left out. There wasn't much chocolate either, and the shell was really thin. It didn't even crack when we pressed the sides. We also thought it could've used more kataifi. We essentially just drank a pricey vanilla milkshake. Service was fantastic, as always!

The truffle burger and fries were great. Sad that they're no longer available. The banana pudding shake tastes like birthday cake. Usually this is a good location. Sometimes they make your food wrong.

Smoky Classic BBQ Chicken and Fries
Darshel A.

Fast and friendly service from the employees. Great ambiance to chill and have a lunch with friends. I ordered through the app and unfortunately my fries tasted like they'd been sitting and should've been thrown out.

Pretty good burger! Service was quick & friendly. The interior was clean and updated. Would come back to this location to eat again.

No ketchup?
Brady O.

I went back to this location...an abundance of ketchup was there....you fixed the issue....You won back a loyal customer. Nice work.

Bacon dbl cheeseburger (no BACON)
Laverne A.

Well I'm finally done with the West Loop location. As you can see from the pictures I placed 2 orders over the app. 1) black truffle single w/truffle fries 2) double bacon cheeseburger w/fries One order was perfect while the other was missing the bacon (photo attached) I checked the receipt and surely they got that right. This is my 4th time visiting West Loop location and each time something is not as ordered and I will not return. If I want Shack Shake I will go to the Oak Lawn location after church going forward. RESPONSE TO ELLIE: Thank you so much, but this is too many times having incorrect orders from your West Loop location. It is appalling that your associates cannot get an order right. Back in September I wrote a review Margo responded and refunded me what I spent. I don't want anything from you all except for you to take this as a coaching moment and round up your workers and retrain them and add a double check to every order. It's not fair that customers stop by for take out and get home which for me is 23 minutes away only to find the order is not as expected. It's ridiculous they cannot get it right.

This was my first Shake Shack experience and I was very happy with how it went! Definitely lived up to the hype and I plan on coming back very soon. The price wasn't too crazy expensive either, especially when you compare it to the quality of food you're receiving. I just wish I tried the "Hot One's" menu...but I was too late! I appreciated this location and any place that "accidentally" gives extra fries is always going to get a 5/5 in my books, so thank you Shake Shack! Service was good and you can order your food on their kiosk/tablets so you don't even need to talk to anyone. Plenty of seats to eat their & chill vibes with TVs in the background. Thanks again and see you soon Shake Shack! Personal Review: 9.1/10

BBQ fries
Cassie E.

I can't speak for the service or ambiance since we ordered takeout. However, the food was really good. I always like having my fries with BBQ sauce, so I love that they offer BBQ fries. They had a BBQ seasoning on them, which wasn't too overwhelming. I am a baby with spices, so I had milk with it but most people wouldn't think it's spicy. They also offer different BBQ sauces with their BBQ fries (Carolina BBQ or Shake BBQ sauce). I got the Shake BBQ sauce and my boyfriend got the Carolina BBQ sauce. I thought the Shake BBQ sauce was good. I didn't even try to Carolina one because I hate mustard. My boyfriend said the Carolina BBQ sauce was good, but nothing special about it and it tasted like most Carolina BBQ sauces. As for the burgers, I really liked mine. I am weird about condiments, so I only had pickles on it. They were thick pickle slices (not the cheap super tiny ones from McDonald's). My boyfriend got the Carolina BBQ Burger with Fried Pickles and he said that was really good.

By far the worst Shake Shack I have ever been to. The staff is extremely rude. The wait time are extremely long and the place was empty. I got back to work after ordering and realized I was missing 2 burgers from my order. I came back and showed my receipt and the staff argued me that I was lying and had received everything. Just over all a horrible and experience. Not sure if I will ever be back. The place looked dirty and unkept as well.

Dirty Greasy nasty chicken bites
Summer M.

I'm so frustrated and annoyed by this meal I could shed a tear. Literally been up since 7am moving across the state. I haven't eaten all day. Decided I would just quickly get some chicken bites and fries from shake shack and keep it moving as I've never had any issues with food quality in NYC/Jersey when I've eaten there. I'm going to assume they need to change their fryer oil because this entire meal was disgusting and inedible. The fries were very over cooked with a terrible aftertaste. The chicken bite were so greasy by the time I got the bottom was a layer of grease soaking up the bottom of the box. I couldn't even eat the rest of my meal, just threw it away. The dirty grease made everything taste disgusting. Now I'm lying in bed still hungry but also nauseous/sick from the food. I have no plans on coming to this location again. Truly a waste of $35, I'm so hurt.

SmokeShack
Jaclyn W.

I ordered the smoke shack burger, it was actually very delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, it was very cheesy and had a lot of bacon. I decided to order the double, and I thought it had a lot of flavor, and was huge. It cost almost $11, unfortunately does not come with fries but it was delicious. I would order it again. I was definitely full after eating it. My fiancé tried the spicy chicken sandwich, that was almost $8 and I did not feel it was worth it honestly. He said it had good flavor, but the sandwich itself was kind of small. Pickup is quick through the app. Restaurant was clean and taking covid serious.

Good location right next to the train station. My first time having shake shack. I know where have I been. As a Californian I have to say it. I like In N Out better. Shake shack is like in between Five Guys and In N Out on the burger spectrum. Five Guys represents that heavy backyard grill burger that'll send you into a food coma. In N Out gives you that lighter, simple, classic, aromatic and fresh vibe that hits the spot. Food (7/10): Truffle burger - looks delicious. Lots of competing flavors. Surprisingly enough a bit too heavy on the truffle oil. The temperature is something I noticed that I usually don't for burgers. It was too... Room temp. The sub temp didn't bring out the flavors and burger off the grill feel. The bun was also much softer than I expected like Hawaiian bread. Personal preference but it was too pastry soft for me. Chicken bites - tastes "healthier" with the white meat. Very similar to the Bare chicken nuggets you can get at Costco. Obviously better cooked and prepared. Used the honey mustard sauce which was pretty standard. Fries with cheese - very standard looking but well done. Surprised and impressed me the most. The fries look very unassuming like cafeteria fries. They are a bit crispy on the outside. It's the cheese. The cheese is like a Kraft's Mac n cheese. Maybe have the option to add some spice to the cheese like Dave's Hot Chicken. Service/ambience (7.5/10): Pretty good for a fast food spot. Staff is friendly. Like the other burger chains the establishment and bathrooms are well kept. This specific location has pretty good interior design with the classic Chicago warehouse vibe with high ceilings and sunlight.

Great burger and fries if you're looking for fast food, though In N Out is the best fast food burger in my opinion.

I read all the bad reviews before coming and... they were just hating, having a bad day, or have…read morenever eaten a burger before to be an objective judge! Because no way did we eat at the same place. WOW! It's only been a handful of times that I've had the urge to write a review while I'm still eating because of how amazing the experience is. The ambiance is bustling and will FOR SURE keep you awake as you fill your belly. And the burger? It's not just a burger, it's culinary art and a full on flavor experience. I was full well before my plate was empty, but I simply could not imagine reheating any part of it later. The egg was cooked to sunny-side perfection, and every bite was ridiculous. It's bar-style, so the fries came out first, hot and paired with a garlic aioli that absolutely did what it needed to do. Everyone moves with purpose. The food, the service, the atmosphere--this place is a well-oiled machine of greatness. 1000/10. Will absolutely be back.

So the burgers are worth the hype! 5/5 A single is two smash patties, definitely get the bacon and the egg on top of the burger because that what makes it amazing!! So don't skip on it! The bacon is truly the highlight, as most will tell you, not too chewy but a melt in your mouth thick cut bacon! Burger was cooked perfectly to order and The only thing that was a disappointment was the fries. Just not that great, not enough salt, but also the texture was off. Not worth the $8 2/5 Overall, it was a great experiment and I'd totally recommend you trying!

Nothing overly complicated -- just a really well-executed burger. Little Bad Wolf has the accolades to back it up.

After eating it, I understand the hype.

The Little Bad Wolf isn't just a story... it's a phenom dot com restaurant that you NEED to visit! My family and I visited after a Saturday Cubs game and luckily, there were still a handful of tables available and we were promptly seated. The staff were super friendly and provided excellent service! Almost everyone at our table ordered the Wolf Burger after hearing my sister and her husband rave about it. When our orders came to the table, we were all PLEASANTLY surprised at how beautifully stacked and dressed our burgers were. A triple stack of patties, topped with cheese, bacon, a fried egg, crispy onions, and housemade pickles?! That's a recipe for delicious success right there! The Wolf Burger was indeed SCRUMPTIOUS! My goodness, I am still thinking about it two whole days later and how I can't wait to revisit this restaurant and try some more of their menu items. An honorable mention goes out to the delicious fries on the side!! They were the perfect cut, well-seasoned, and out-of-this-world. I HIGHLY recommend Little Bad Wolf to all folks looking for a delicious experience! The burger is sensational, the environment is impeccable, and this is a great spot if you're going on a date or out with friends.
