Either you New Yawkas must not have much to do, OR you are ALL malnourished. I cannot believe such nonsense over a frickin burger joint (not that I don't LOVE hamburgers). Our burgers in D.C. are BETTER than yours . . . and cost about one-half as much. Take THAT, Shake Shack.

yeah. people must be eating shake shack because of the hype, not because they make good burgers. it all makes sense now. you people are fucking dumb. also, who cares if they use the same technology as outback steakhouse? i'd rather get a page than have to listen for my name and fight through a crowd of people.

You all deserve botulism for offending our visual senses with this offal. Seriously - hoping this time tomorrow you're collectively clutching a bowl, swearing you'll change your Gothamist ways.

another awful food photo. i really do enjoy your blog, but please take a photography class, or read a photo book. the food is supposed to look appetizing, no?

Mmmm... that cheese-filled fried portabella mushroom "burger" is divine.. the best vegetarian option I've seen at a burger joint so far. Now I'm craving it!

Umm, can there be a few less postings about this rat hole? It's making me wonder if Gothamist only likes food from overpriced, poorly produced places like Shake Shack.

Haven't tried this place yet, but just wondering if the "special sauce" has mayo in it. I hate mayo more than life itself.

arent there enough restaurants in nyc, do we really need them taking up any space more in parks too?

Just finished off two Shack burgers and got back to work, a short line today, nifty new 'Waiting Buzzers' make listening to music a possibility when nagging a burger! The shack is back bitches!

totally went today. not that long of a line...and well worth it. love the new buzz system because you can just sit and wait instead of crowding the window...although people were still crowding the window. not sure if everyone completely understood the new system. all in all well worth it. tastes like spring!

Go today then. Only about 5 people in line ahead of me about a half hour ago. No special custard today but otherwise, looks like they're running full steam. Totally made my day.

"so 2006" - maybe if you only care about the hype. me, i like the burger. it's definitely above average. however, i only bother to wait in the line once or twice a season.

I'll go when they have more vegetarian options.

Shake Shack. So very 2006.

Wait an hour?

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:19:14 -0500

Too long of a line...

Dude

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 12:03:31 -0500

I remember getting my first Shackburger on a rainy late afternoon with abosolutely no line. I still couldn't fiqure out what secret sauce it had to make people into addicts that on line for an above average burger at best.

It's not even open for the season yet (officially, anyway) and the shacklash has already begun.
