Here’s how our first visit to Shake Shack went.
Since Hubby volunteered to stay with our newborn, my toddler & I quickly got dressed and head on out to Central Square. The lines were taking up almost half of the ground floor. They hand you their menu while you wait. Good thing, we had priority so it didn’t take that long before we got to the order counter.

We decided to get 3 burgers, 2 cheesy fries and 2 ube shakes to go. They hand you this rectangular buzzer that lights up & vibrates when it's time to pick up your food. It didn't take long (about 15 mins) when I felt the burgers "calling".

They pack everything in a brown paper bag for easy handling. Maybe providing a cover or at least sealing it a bit (especially since I will be walking outside to the car) would be better so that the food would be safe from the elements (such as smoke & dirt). The burgers and fries were too exposed for my liking.
When we arrived home, we basically skipped up the stairs and excitedly handed one of the paper bags to my husband (luckily our baby girl was still sleeping). We each unwrapped one of the burgers, while our toddler happily waited to see which ones we will be letting him try.
I got the SmokeShack Single (Php 365) which featured an Applewood smoked bacon. The smoky flavor carried all throughout the burger which would've been a good thing except it kinda masked the beefy taste of the patty.
Hubby got the Shackburger Single (Php 250). We both liked this version better. They kept it simple with just lettuce, tomato and their ShakeShack sauce; highlighting the satisfyingly good solid juicy patty and rounded it all up with their soft potato buns. Yum!
True to its name, the Crinkle Cut Cheese Fries (Php 180) comes in thick crinkle cut shapes making it fun to eat. The cheese dip gets pretty cold quickly, making it hard to coat on the fries. Overall, a nice complement to the burgers.
Lastly, we had an Ube Shake (Php 190) each. I'll start off by saying that neither one of us is an Ube fan but seeing how these shakes were dominating my IG feed & was being marketed as a Manila exclusive, I knew we had to at least try it out. This tasted like a slice of ube cake was ran through the machine, shaken until it turns to liquid and then placed in a cup for easier eating. Halfway thru sipping this rich, thick &creamy ube; we were beginning to feel full. We will definitely just be sharing one cup next time.
Food-Stars Verdict: Suffice to say, the drive to Shake Shack was worth it.
