Snooth Talk: Shake Shack

Wine & Food

: Shake Shack; Posted by Philip, Jun 13.; I went here today. Its a pretty hyped place - i got there at midday and the line was an hour, i transacted my entire business meeting while standing in line, so at least i was productive.

Shake Shack has such a reputation, its been in Sex and the City, and is always busy.

Anyway, the food: Great, sloppy, freshly prepared burger. It really was tasty - no pretenses, nothing fancy, just freshly made, medium rare patty, cheese, fixings and a crappy little bun.

Overall it was awesome, but the line was a joke. Probably going to be my only visit..

I suppose it's mostly tourists and they are used to standing in line, but I really can't imagine standing for an hour to wait for food, I have a hard enough time putting my name on a waiting list and doing something else for the hour.

Best to make your way out to Brooklyn. We've got a lot more space!

maybe a breakfast burger would work best...
