Travis and I knew that the food for Shacktober Fest was good but that the Shack Burgers (1 burger with Shack Sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheese) were superior to the brats that are offered, so we went straight for burgers and fries, which were delicious as always!
The burgers are amazing - freshly cooked, they come piping hot with melty cheese, just the right amount of crisp lettuce and tomato, Shack Sauce (some sort of tangy combo of possibly ketchup, mustard, and mayo) and delicious, slightly garlickly warm buns. The fries were super crispy and salty (my vegetarian friends are willing to wait in line, sometimes for 30+ mins, just for the fries and shakes) and a great palate cleanser in between juicy bites of burger.
Typically I get some sort of custard dessert, whether it be a namesake shake (thick and creamy) or just a custard-based dessert, but this time, while waiting in line, I saw a sign advertising for $6.75 a "Pumpkin Pie Oh My"offering, which was a blend of real pumpkin pie with vanilla custard and whipped cream! YUM! I obviously added it to my order and rather than hold it (Shake Shack gives you the option to hold your dessert until you are ready, which can be good but also might mean they could run out of the flavor you ordered) got it with my food. Needless to say it was divine....real chunks of pumpkin pie (with great bites of crust) mixed in with vanilla custard and topped with a huge dollop of whipped cream. I would order it again in a heartbeat.
Travis got the Shack Stack, which consists of two burger patties in between which is nestled a fried, cheesy, mushroom. He also thoroughly enjoyed his burger, fries, and Pumpkin Pie Oh My.All in all, a very outstanding 3 out of 3 JAMs for Shake Shack! I will definitely be coming back here for more fall treats soon.
