Shake Shack Hilldale Center

I wonder - if given only this photo, would burger restaurant goers describe this as what looks like a $8+ sandwich? If I were to tell that patron that they could add a side of fries to make it $12, and if they would like a soft drink in a paper cup they would be looking at $16+, would that number sound appropriate? I feel the vibe - Shake Shack is selling the upscale burger joint look - bright lighting, high ceilings, fun marketing across the menu - but the reality is that the food doesn’t match the image from the street or the number on the receipt. The lack of impact from the food was only surpassed by the service. I have a gripe with restaurants that push self ordering through a kiosk, only to ask for a tip prior to tasting your food - let alone even speaking with a server. It’s incredibly backwards as it relates to tipping culture - imagine going to a salon and paying for the service before the haircut. You slap another twenty on the counter and say, “Thanks, this haircut is going

We stopped here about 2 weeks for dinner to try it out as we had read about online. We ate inside the rables were clean as was the inside of the place in general. We had ordered online ahead of time so didn't have to wait we got burgers and fries and shakes. I will say that the burgers and fries were good but for a place to have shake in there name we found the shakes both not very flavorful and very thin in consistency. I would eat here again but wouldn't order a shake again.

Decent burger, and pretty darned good cheese fries. I got mine with bacon on top...how does that sound? I like the novelty of ordering the food ourselves on the computer when you walk in. I got my avocado and more bacon on a burger in a lettuce wrap to take away at least a few of the carbs...but felt a bit stupid because I couldn't resist eating the cheese fries, and then of course the fries my daughter couldn't finish. I'm a big fan of the fries... crispy outside, soft and warm inside. The burger was pretty good also. I'd go back.
