Well now, look what opened up in Folsom. A Shake Shack! It's in the Palladio shopping center but on the outskirts in a building alongside Iron Point Drive.
Right when we stepped in, we were greeted multiple times by various staff. Energetic enthusiasm filled the air! A huge crew of employees were working on this particular weekday evening. We ordered at the counter with an employee. But ordering can also be done at the kiosk. Hubs and I ordered a Shake Shack cheeseburger, hot dog, chocolate milkshake and lemonade. It set us back about $25.
They bring out the drinks and food. There are no drink dispensers out in the dining area. If you want a refill, you have to go to the counter to ask.This process is a bit difficult for an old bear like me to get used to. The lemonades are made out of cane sugar, no HFCS. Yes! $4.59 for a small. The dining area is pretty large. Chill, comfortable vibes.
Onto the fooood. The Shake burger is a cheese burger with lettuce and tomatoes. Don't get that confused with the cheeseburger which comes without the lettuce and tomato. We almost ordered the wrong one. Hubs was feeling generous and offered me a bite. I took a small bite since it was not particularly large. Good flavors! Angus beef. The hot dog is all beef and split grilled. It had a nice snap to it, and it's Vienna beef hot dog. It's regular hot dog size. $4.99. Hubs ordered a shake but it didn't come with whipped cream even though the menu pictures did. Another thing I noticed is this location doesn't offer a non dairy chocolate shake or custard while most other Shake Shacks do. Aw shucks. I even asked the cashier and she confirmed.
Overall great addition to the...
Read moreThis was my first visit to Shake Shack. It's located at the Palladio in Folsom. I went on a Friday around 1130am, so parking was plentiful. I was greeted by a staff person as soon as I entered. The menu and order/pick up counter are right at the entrance. In addition to a variety of burgers there are vegan options, chicken sandwhiches, hot dogs, soft drinks, milkshakes and even a selection of beer and wines! The entrance is full of light and very welcoming. There are several seating areas inside and out. I ordered a single burger with no cheese and fries. I sat near the entrance and observed a steady flow of customers ordering to eat in as well as those ordering to go or delivery service pick ups. My order arrived in about 5 minutes (they bring it to your table). My burger was a delicious smashed burger and the crinkle cut fries were fresh and hot. As a staff person was delivering an order to another table, he stopped to ask me if my order was ok. I was pleasantly surprised by that because most fast food places do not check on you after you receive your order. 5 stars for the excellent customer service! Overall a great place to stop in to satisfy your hunger and experience great...
Read moreI’ve been looking forward to this location opening for almost a year now and was excited to be there to watch the grand opening and ribbon cutting.
Food is great and my go to is always the Shack Burger. I think the ratio of bun, toppings and patty is perfect especially when it comes out nice and hot. Definitely recommend eating right away! It is a bit pricey when you compare it to In N Out down the street, but I think the shorter wait (hopefully that stays) and quality might be worth it. In addition to being able to order ahead on the app!
Also got the black truffle fries and a Cookies and Cream shake. The crinkle cut fries are always good, and the truffle sauce was interesting to try. I always enjoy the shakes and are what I compare other fast food places to, so I definitely recommend trying.
Staff were very friendly and attentive, and the inside was very nice. Glad to see Palladio getting some more food places closer to...
