Shake Shack’s fine dining heritage and commitment to premium ingredients, coupled with its fun and lively environment has earned the brand a cult-like following around the world.

Shake Shack will stay true to its famous menu with signature items including ShackBurger, Smokeshack, Chick’n Shack, and ‘Shroom Burger, classic crinkle-cut fries, beer, wine and frozen custard ice cream. In addition, Shake will feature its breakfast menu with signature breakfast sandwiches including Sausage, Egg N’ Cheese, Bacon, Egg N’ Cheese, and Egg N’ Cheese; all consisting of griddled-fresh, cage-free eggs, served with American cheese on a toasted potato bun. The breakfast sandwich is topped with all-natural Shack pork sausage and the bacon sandwich is topped with all-natural Applewood smoked bacon.
