I went to Shake Shack and there are many locations around the country and you can find one by just doing a simple Google search.
I drove about 20-30 minutes to get to one. The closest location to my hometown of Marysville, Ohio was in Dublin, Ohio.
Shake Shack is a fast food place with burgers, hot dogs, shakes & more. Now let me share my experience with you!
Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Rationale: I really enjoyed the non-dairy chocolate shake. That is what made it five stars. It tasted like chocolate shake and you could really taste the chocolate and it was really good! I enjoyed their crinkle cut fries. It reminds me of Culver’s and Arby’s crinkle cut fries. They were well salted and I have no complaints about the fries. I had a burger with a gluten-free bun. Their buns had dairy in them and I got a gluten-free bun. The gluten-free bun was solid. I do prefer regular (gluten-filled) buns better, but it is better than no bun.
Allergy Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Rationale. They have the ideal situation that every restaurant can copy off of. They have an allergen menu with the ingredients separated out. That’s how I knew about their buns containing dairy and how I found the gluten-free bun was dairy-free. They went above and beyond when it comes to food allergies.
On the kiosk to order you can tell the kitchen staff what allergies you have and it is easy to find the button to let them know. On the receipt it labels your allergens as well.
I did have a hard time find info what is in not milk. It is a dairy-free milk brand and it took me ten minutes to find the ingredients to not milk (I have never heard of it before) then I found it in the FAQ. I’m allergic to almonds and many other tree nuts so I didn’t want to have an allergic reaction because some non-dairy milk (like almond milk) will have tree nuts in it.
This is exactly what every restaurant should be transparent and honest with its customers about their allergens. I can adjust and make a personalized meal, but I can’t adjust to dishonest information, and this place is very honest and as a result I had no allergic reaction and I look forward to coming back here in the future. I highly recommend you try this place out.
