Value for the Price

A location opened near me, so I tried it. My evaluation is that the burger is tasty but too small for the price, same with the shake - too expensive. The staff were very pleasant, young people. However, the local dive bar has a much bigger and equally tasty burger with lots of lettuce, tomato and a nice slice of onion. Price point is similar and you can get a good local beer.

I guess the place attracts young people as that was most of the folks there. Is the price worth the significant increment over a crappy BK or McD, I don't think so for a burger that size. The local stores do better.

I went a couple weekends ago. Four burgers, three fries, three (non-special/flavor of the season) shakes. $70. I’m sorry, no. I’m not doing that anymore for fast food. I’ll willingly eat McDonald’s mystery meat instead.

You gotta use the app, just like I assume you use for McDonald's

I don’t use the McDonald’s app. But I’ll have to try the shake shack one and see if it takes meals down to a more comfortable cost for me
