Shake Shack Austin, South Lamar

I've seen shake shack for years and just never stopped. We haven't because we're kinda burger snobs and didn't like fast food burgers. Today we decided to give it a try because we were in a hurry. When we went in we were surprised how busy they were. We were greeted by Donavan at the register. He was a rarity for fast food in that he was friendly, seemed happy to be there and even shook my hand when done.. Impressive. The total for 5 burgers, 5 drinks and 5 fries was just over $100 which surprised me but i thought I'd wait to judge once the burgers came out. Well, i was pleasantly surprised. These are our favorite style of burgers; smash burgers and the flavor was outstanding! I was REALLY surprised how good they were and the rest of the family agreed. Much better than any fast food burgers place we've been. Truthfully, on par with some of the best non-fast food burgers joints we love and that's saying something. If they would have had hand cut fries instead of crinkle fries, these guys would be easy top 5 burger joints we've eaten in Austin. My son loved his vanilla milk shake too.They have lots of good drink choices too with free refills. My suggestion to them if they took suggestions, is offer hand cut fries and if you're going to offer "cheese fries" offer spicy jalapeno cheese. With these changes, this would probably be our go to place in Austin anytime we want good burgers. Still, the quality of their burgers are top notch and if you're looking for a good smash style burger, look no further, this place is the ticket! Highly recommended!

We had a big group meeting up here to eat before heading out to the Trail of Lights. One of our group called ahead to inquire about food allergies, and after having a nice chat with the store manager, Ranferi gave us 10 free burger coupons! So nice. The burgers were great and the milkshakes were thick and creamy. Definitely will be coming back with a group. Free parking in the garage, open seating and friendly staff = A+

Today was my first time to visit a Shake Shack. I’ve heard very good things about their hamburgers and was excited to give it a try. A gentleman working the counter was very helpful guiding me through the kiosk to order a smashburger and an order of fries. After waiting what seemed like an unusually long time, my order was delivered to the table. The burger was small, but very tasty. The bun was very soft and delicious The lettuce was, as the picture shows, tiny and completely wilted I was unable to bite through it, as it slid off the burger in one chewy mess. I enjoyed the fries (warm, not hot) and thought the portion was fair for the $4 charge. Overall, I would like to give it a 3.5 star rating if that was possible.

First time here and it is pretty darn good. The hot dog was the best I have ever had. The burger was perfect. Definitely a spot to hit up. A lil pricey but worth it. Friendly staff
