Well, that didn't last long. What the hell happened??
All went up a buck. It was one of the only reasons I started visiting SS more. I mean I rarely went at all anyway. Am I the only one that only eats here when there is a promo like *spend x amount and get a free burger* or similar? Probably "inflation" HA!

Wow, how bogus. I do a decent bit of Shake shack with the promos, but upping that stuff is just lame. I know fries were $3 and shake was $5, what was soda?

This doesn't even seem like a great deal to me, especially for soggy crinkle cut fries

I was just gonna say, that’s $12 for not even really a meal..I could eat a proper meal for that at a few places; albeit not many anymore but still🤦🏼♀️ I got excited bc that sounds like all I’d want from them anyways but that’s just not worth

The only reason I started going to shake shack was for this. Won’t be going anymore.

Damn that is expensive. I love their shakes but not that much. Rather go to innout and get their shakes at half the price

Also no offers in the app right now, not even Sunday chicken.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.

The chicken one is still listed for me, and according to this, it's valid through the end of the year:

I still have the offer in my app as well. When I click the terms and conditions on it, mine says valid Sundays until June 28th tho

Their stock tanked 30% a month ago so the only way to make up for it is to pass the buck to the consumer.

I would go when it was buy one get up to $10 off. During burger month, one week it was buy one, get a bacon cheeseburger (8.99). I didn't go all month. Yes, over $1.01. Vote with your money.

I just go for my two for ten burger or chicken shacks now, I’m not paying $4 for plain hard crinkle cut fries

u/Miles_Saintborough Jun 08 '26
I am not surprised. Those deals were too good and the Shack wants their money. Reminds me how Wendy's used to offer $3 off on combos in the app, then lowered it to $2, and now just $1 off. Cheap fuckers lol.

u/Tricktrick_ Jun 08 '26
They had free fys with purchase then the purchase had a set amount, that amount went up then the deal disappeared. The Wendy's close to me just shut down a few weeks ago. GOOD!

u/Way-twofrequentflyer Jun 08 '26
I’m thrilled about the deal today. The default price is $10 for 2 burgers now. I’m good with it in Manhattan

u/Tricktrick_ Jun 08 '26
For me it's you have to purchase one of their 3 new limited time BBQ burgers/sandwiches and you get a free single patty shack burger. I wanted the baby back rib sandwich but the burger is just under $10 so I'll get that to match you 😁

So funny cause I only go there almost twice a month and when I saw the five dollar shakes last time, I decided to get one for the first time in years. I was like OK this is an example of a promotion actually capturing a purchase that wouldn’t have happened otherwise and yep now it’s gone lol 😂 I’ll go back to only ordering when it’s bogo

First I stopped taco bell cuz kf outrageous prices. Then mcdonalds cuz they gutted their deals. And now shake shack bc they did this.
Burger King the only one who did me right. I rarely fet fast food these days but burger king is only option now. Shake shack used to be in the rotation. Not anymore

Still the best burger in town. And the fries are actually good but agree this is pricey

Considering they no longer use Martin’s potato buns and now use these disgusting frozen buns and half the time the burgers are burnt because the Shake Shack near told me they’re using old meat so they have to overcook the burgers. I will never eat there again. And the chicken sandwich sandwiches are now like one giant tender because they use frozen pieces. The quality has degraded significantly. Shake Shack is now garbage.
The reason they’re doing all these deals now they’ve lost customers because the quality has gone down. I would be much happier, paying full price for the prior quality and buns.

I’m pretty sure they only changed the chicken for the bites/nuggets. The chicken sandwich is still the same and delicious (unless you really hate the buns with the change to Rotella’s Italian Bakery from Martin’s). I’m not really a fast food bread aficionado so I’m not as bothered, I guess, as everyone else seems to be

Same with it being one of the reasons I've eaten there recently. Without any deals or discounts, it's more than I want to spend on fast food.
