Yes, I have eaten at shake shack and it was my first time eating in brooklyn shake shack which is near our school. The burger that I got was the shack burger and a fries and the burger was kind of small comparing to burger king but over all it was delicious. Moving on to hurtinmg businees of shake shack I do not think that it will affect its business in brooklyn because there are many cooperate building and schools around the neighbour that everyone would come and enjoy their meal at the shake shack. Some people can not afford to go to expensive restaurant so they go to places like mcdonald and so on. Such as student they like fries and they go to fast food restaurant to eat because it is cheap and gives it faster then other restaurant and tates as good as any fries and burger. I personally do not like to try any of the burger and restaurant until unless I’m starving to death and really craving for a good juciy burger.
I haven’t had the chance to eat a any Shake Shack and certainly not the one recently opened in Brooklyn. However, I don’t necessarily think this article may hurt business in Brooklyn because Shake Shack has been known to have only but the best burgers and I am sure its a matter of time to make progress in its food. I would definitely have to try it myself because other critics don’t certainly agree to this reviewer. Nonetheless, it is located in a very commercial area for a reasonable price in flavorful burgers! I am surely interested in reading other opinions of reviewers.
Yes, I am interested in eating at Bill’s Bar and Burger to not only try the food but its quality service since reservations are required.
I have been eating at Shake Shack since their first location at Madison Square Park. When I first discovered Shake Shack, I frequently went back. Since then, I have tried two other locations, the Upper West Side one and the Brooklyn one. I do not think that this article will affect the business in Brooklyn because business seems to be getting better and better. During my first visit, the line wasn’t that long and getting a seat wasn’t complicated; however, when I returned for another visit, the line was out the door! However, I do feel that Shake Shack does struggle with consistency, especially with their burgers. When I first tried the Brooklyn location, I was kind of disappointed. It wasn’t like how I use to remember it and seem much more greasier. Maybe that’s a sign that I should try or revisit some of the places mentioned in the article. The burgers at FoodParc and Schnipper’s were quite good and I would definitely like to try Bill’s Bar and Burger and Steak ‘n Shake.
I personally have never visited a Shake Shack before. In fact I have never seen any of their locations anywhere I go. This article will probably hurt the restaurant business located in Brooklyn due to the negative review by Peter Wells. I would not consider visiting them because as stated by the author, Shake Shacks menu is very limited and the food is inconsistent. Nothing of the menu lured me to visiting any of their restaurants, however if I ever run into one of their locations by chance I will probably go in. Their service nevertheless seems to be illustrious, which is a very positive aspect that entices costumers into going back.
I have been to three of their locations. My first visit was at the Theater District, then the upper east side, and the Brooklyn location. I love Shake Shack burger, even my husband and daughter loves shake shack burger. We frequently go to their upper east side location. When I ate at the Brooklyn location, I did notice that the shack stack burger was a little bit greasy, but then I was too hungry that I did not pay much attention to it. I personally don’t think that this article would hurt the business. The author of this article even said that “It was almost enough to make me stand in line again right then and there, and my name isn’t even Tony”. I have not tried the other burger places mentioned on this article, but I would love to try Bill’s Bar and Burger, and Steak ‘n Shake.
I am not a burger person. I ate may be 3 or 4 hamburgers on the last past five years. I not will say the review could hurt shake shack now simply because people love trying anything new to the market. One the thing i know for sure people words do matters if Shake Shack keep up with bad reviews and people walking around talking about how bad their products are they will be out of business in less than 5 years. i may never have a chance to try them out.And then why spend times, afford and money to come out with products that are not mouth watering when you have so many competitions surround you. I will wait for six to nine months to see if more people are going to be crazy about shake shack. Then I will decide.
I have never eaten at a Shake Shack before, but I always walk past the location on 44th and 8th avenue. The line is usually halfway down the sidewalk and the first time I became aware of Shake Shack, the large glittery sign and extremely long line grabbed my attention. In my opinion, the Brooklyn location does not look as appealing and I would personally like to eat at both of these Shake Shack locations to compare their burgers. I agree with the author when he says, “everyone waits because the food is cooked to order and if everyone is waiting then it must be worth it.” This statement is very true because where ever you see a long line you automatically assume that it is for a good reason because no one likes to wait on long lines. One of the reasons why Shake Shack probably struggles with inconsistency is because they are probably in a rush to serve all of their customers. However, that is no excuse and I hope when I visit I will enjoy my burger and fries. I do not think that this article will effect this Brooklyn location because it is a busy area with a lot of business workers and students who are always looking for some place to eat lunch. I definitely can’t wait to try a Shake Shack burger and I am also interested in eating at Bill’s Bar and Burger. I would definitely like to compare the food and my experience at both places.
I have eaten at only one Shake Shack, only one time in my life. I ate at the one in Brooklyn, just a couple of weeks ago. My first reaction when I walked in was “wow, its packed” and i was worried my friend and I would have to take our food to go. But I didn’t mind too much because I know Shake Shake is popular and I’d much rather see it full than to be the only customer in there. When my handheld alarm beeped and my food was ready, my first thought was that the serving of fries were a bit too small for their price. And having ordered cheese fries, I was displeased to see one squirt of cheese sauce only directly in the center of my fries order, as opposed to all around it. The burger though, was very good. I do not think the article will hurt Shake Shack because it is just so popular and the little things of displeasure about it are probably not grand enough to change peoples minds. I would like to go to Steak n’ Shake and see if thats any good.
I have not eaten at any shake shack or the one in brooklyn. I dont think the article will hurt business in brooklyn. In fact i think it would help the business because the article states that shake shack has had inconsistencies in its burgers, so therfore people would look else where on fulton mall for food. I am not interested in trying the other burger places because i am not much of a burger person.
To be honest i really didnt know what Shake Shack was after my friend was like oh theres a good place to eat burgers near our school. I went the one in near our school and when I went it was pretty busy. They had little long line but I was excited because their fry looked delicious. When I ate it was really tasty and really good but kind of greasy…I went there few times but when I went there for second and third the burgers were more greasy..I couldnt finish that little hamburger. But I dont think this article will affect the one in near our school. And yes I would love to try Bill’s Bar and burger and Steak N Shake because Im a fast food lover :).
Yes, I have ate at Shake Shack before at the upper west side actually with Jessie and even with great company, I wasn’t amazed at the food. I have not eaten at the Brooklyn location and I believe the reason why it is so popular is only because of the name. When I had the burger at Shake Shack, it tasted like any normal burger that I could get from Mcdonald’s or Burger King. I mean if I was craving for a burger I wouldn’t mind going to Shake Shack because I loved their fries. I don’t think that it would hurt the businesses in Brooklyn because after the hype goes down, I know that there will not be as many customers as there are now. I am interested in trying the other burger places mentioned in the articles because I am a big burger fan and trying out new places couldn’t hurt.
Actually, my first visit was the one in brooklyn. Even the first Shake Shack I saw is the one nearby Time Square, which is always packed.(sometime the line is even out the door) One day, my friends told me there is a Shake Shack nearby the school, then we went in. There was still a line, but the waiting wasn’t too long. The burger was fresh and declious even it was a little greasy. The other thing I like is they give customer a handheld alarm, so that the customer don’t crowd at cashier, which is differnt from most fast food restaurant.I do not think the article will hurt Shake Shack in brooklyn because it is so popular, but also its location. I would love to try the other place mentioned in the article.
No, I have never eaten at a Shake Shack restaurant before. But, after reading this article on it, I would definitly liked too. I’m hoping that this horrible review doesn’t affect this establishment, but it was pretty bad. According to the burger expert Mr. Wells, no hamburger restaurant can ever measured up to four stars in his perspectives. Even though, shake shack uses fresh and organic ingredients, the restaurant’s decorations go well with the environment and ambiance of the place. And finally, lets not forget the service and guest urgency, which is clearly noted by Mr. Wells in his review as being superb. But, it is so unfortunate that shake shack nor any other burger joint could ever achieve merit in Mr. Wells idealism. Although, I am not a burger person, I would surely be visiting the one on Fulton Mall.
I have eaten at Shake Shack at once with Huihong. It is located on Fulton Street which near our college. When I walked in, I was content with its decoration. May be the time still early, we did not need to wait a long time for order food as the other people said. The burger is delicious and fresh, but little greasy. I think this article will not hurt the business, because Shake Shack is popular. And it has a great deal of loyal customers. Also, this article can help it to know its shortcoming and to improve them. And I would love to try the other burger places mentioned in the article, such as Bill’s Bar & Burger and Steak ’n Shake.
I have always wanted to try Shake Shack and I finally got my chance when I came to Brooklyn. Not being a fan of fast food (not knowing where the food comes from) I was very excited to try this burger made with quality meat. My first time at Shake Shack I ordered a Shack burger with fries. It was cooked perfectly to medium and seasoned well. The fries were crispy and piping hot which I like. I left feeling very satisfied. My second third, and forth experience wasn’t as good. Similar to what the article said, the burger was soggy, overcooked, and not seasoned at all. I don’t believe this article would hurt the Brooklyn Shack but I do know that the inconsistent burgers will leave customers feeling very unhappy.
I am interested in trying the place Bark Hot Dogs mentioned in the article. I heard about this place on the food network and the variety it has for a simple food item intrigues me
I have eaten at Shake Shack in Brooklyn just a few weeks ago. The place is so different from other burger restaurants. They have their own style. The tables are all have a small burger icon on the right corner. The burger at Shake Shack is so juicy and delicious. Also, the cheese fries are excellent. I love it! I don’t think this article would hurt the businesses in Brooklyn because Shake Shack is so popular, and I think most people had heard Shake Shack already. Yes, I am interested in trying the other burger places as well because I love to try new things.
No, I have never eaten at any Shake Shack restaurant before. I think because of Mr. Pete Wells review, it wasn’t just the shake shack in Brooklyn that will affect their business but also the other Shake Shack chains due to the review that the food that they served is inconsistent. people might think that other Shake Shack restaurant might be serving burgers that arent cooked the way that they were used to. after the review, i still want to try Shake Shack burger because foods are served fresh not like in any deli. I’m kind of interested of the other burger places that are mentioned in the article because i always want to try out something new not just eating in one place.
personally, i have eaten at shake shack before in the city and me and my close friend Eric were really hungry one day. i had always passed it and never entered and heard about the place as well. so me and my friend went it, i felt it was packed and the portions were small but very fresh and delicious. i see it as a higher class MC Donald’s for the selections, but the menu options were appealing to me . i have only had the burger and fries though very good i would say so myself.i believe that the article wont do much damage and i believe the shake shack in Brooklyn is an upgrade not a mistake.
I have been to the Shake Shack on Fulton Mall once and I have been wanting to go back ever since. I ordered the Shroom Burger and it was amazing. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had. My burger was hot, but edible. Not as hot as it is said in the article, but if it was, I would not mind it. I rather eat at a restaurant that serves fresh hot food than going to one that serves pre-cooked burgers that are kept heated. I don’t understand why this person is complaining. He could have just waited until it cooled down. I don’t think that this article will change anything. Maybe this person wasn’t exaggerating, but mistakes happen and most restaurants learn from their mistakes and improve. I would love to try out the other burger places that are mentioned in the article to see for myself if what is said about their burgers are true.
yes, i have been to the shake shack in time square many times before and i have tried their burgers and hot dogs before. i love all their drinks and how they have funny names for them. I haven’t went to the one in Brooklyn yet but i want to one day. I enjoyed my meal every time i went there and haven’t found any problems with it. I love the idea of how they have buzzers at a burger spot. I don’t think that the article will hurt the business in Brooklyn because all new yorkers love burgers and fries and it also says many great things about shake shack also. I always love trying new things, especially food so i would like to try the other burger spots one day.
I for one have not visited nor eaten any of the Shake Shack locations, although I have seen the brand new Shake Shack that opened by City Tech. I have been tempted to go in and grab a bit to eat, but lines have been extremely long. I do not believe that this article would hurt the Shake Shack business in Brooklyn because this article is based on one person’s opinion. Many people may agree with this article and many people might disagree. I do not believe any fast food restaurant’s food is held consistent, and location plays a great role in consistency of the food as well. As far as the other Burger places mentioned in this article, I probably would get a bit to eat with a friend. I love taking a risk and trying new places even if it is a bad experience.
No I have not been to any of the Shake Shacks. I do not think that the article will hurt business because to a reader what was said in the article is not devastating news. Since the spot open recently it is common knowledge that they haven’t worked out all the kinks on consistency. The fact that on the nights that the writer went there where probably different cooks. So of course it is not going to look, taste and even smell the same. Personally the fear of getting a burger not well done is too get so I will be waiting some months so the have time to get on top of their game.
I remember the hope about Five Guys, most people I talked to recommend it. So I decide to try one of their burgers and their curly fries. I was very disappointed. 1 after i finished my mean I could taste the iron in the meat, and 2 the fries were just spicy and uninteresting. I am the type of person that loves spicy foods because I have been eating them all my life. I felt that they where using pepper as an excuse for not seasoning their fries correctly. This was also a new spot that opened and I am sure that on a typical day for an experienced spot the food would taste a lot better. So I learned my lesson, and because I don’t want to be disappointed by another restaurant again I am going to give the Shake Shack located in Brooklyn some time to mature.
I would definitely try the other restaurants that where mentioned in the article. All of the menus look very promising. I especially like the the big neon signs that Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen have it reminds me of an old fashioned diner. I love the variability in the menu of both Steak n Shake and Bill’s Bar and Burger.
I have heard of Shake Shack but i never ate at any of their locations. I think sometimes a bad review is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes people want to confirm certain things for themselves. And they do say bad publicity is better than no publicity! To be honest now I am in a mood for a burger, who knows I might even try Shake Shack :). And i think I would actually visit FoodParc or Bill’s Bar and Burger in the near future.
I never ate at Shake Shak, however I would definitely visit there to experience it for myself. Yes, I think it could hurt business because you have people who only dines at a restaurant based on reviews. Myself and others might be open to trying new things and I would definitely like to try their shakes. I don’t eat burgers anymore but I think I would try Shake Shak’s burger and fries just because of the review. I would want to critique it for myself. Plus, the service is great, the atmosphere, and the price all sounds great.
Madison Square sparks my interest but I would try the Brooklyn location first.
This is actually the first time that I’ve ever heard about Shake Shack. The article makes me want to eat there, I think I might go there today to see what is so great about their burgers and their lemonade. This article might hurt some business in Fulton Mall especially those like Burger King, White Castle and Wendy’s that are close by businesses because just by reading this article and being a person that has never been to shake shack it makes me want to witness the shake shack experience. How the article describes the employees there being friendly and the description that he gives on the food makes me want to go there. I love new experiences therefore, I am very interested in trying out the other burger places although I didn’t recognized any of their names.
I’ve never eaten at Shake Shack before. I don’t think this article will hurt its business in Brooklyn. Today more and more people choose go out to eat instead of cooking at home, the shake shack has the convenient and cheap food for people to eat outside, and their service and environment are good. As the author mentions in the article, some of food is good and worth to try. I will visit one of them if I have chance because this article makes me curious about that restautant even though I’m not a person who often eat fast food. I’d like to taste the food such as the hot dog, shake and the burgers to feel the difference.
Yes, i have eaten at Shake Shack Brooklyn. And that was my very first time going there since i have been in New York for 5 years. I still remember how disappointed i was about fries that i ordered. They were not tasty and crispy at all, which think i can get better fries at McDonald’s or somewhere else but not Shake Shack. I do not think the article will hurt business in Brooklyn because i believe that a reader who has read this article and loves eating burgers will still go there and get their lunches or something.
Yes, I have eaten at Shake Shack- in Manhattan by Times Sq. I have not teaten at the Shake Shack Brooklyn nor do I wish to. When I dined at the Manhattan Shake Shack I was very excited to, I ordered a burger and fries and when I bit into the burger, I was very upset- it was a regular potato bun I could buy in Shop Rite and the burger was simple. The fries were great tho! All the hype of the burger really had my hopes up and now they have crashed and burned. I do not think this article will hurt the business in Brooklyn only because it is a long article and in the beginning half the review is great, it make it seem like this place is to die for, even the mayor loves it! Since its a long article the reader could get bored and skim the rest and only see the good parts. And Shake Shack has a reputation already so an article will not do anything to change that. Of course I would try the other places named in the article, because first: I like to try new places so I can see for myself if it is good or not and secondly: I love burgers!
Yes, I have been eaten at Shake Shack, the one near our school. I went to there with my friends during the lunch time. It was very busy, but they have a lot of employees so the line was moving very fast. I felt the food were ok to me, I like the burger, the fried and the milk shake over there. I’m not a big burger fan, but I really like the fried over there, better than McDonald’s. The Shake Shack opened last year around Dec at Brooklyn, it gave many people another choice to eat in this area. I would like to try burger places that mentioned in the article, even I was not a burger fan, but I still like to try new food.
I have never ate at any Shake Shack, never even entered the one in Fulton Mall that’s right next to the school. I saw it and walked right past. For one it looked too crowed and I never know what to expect eating fast food. I like a home cooked meal. I have tried a couple of burger joints but I rather make my own burgers. After reading the article i might consider trying it out now that I know what to expect when waiting in line. Knowing that i’m waiting for a good reason of it actually being cooked and made with love i would have the patience to find out whats in store in my order. I would also try the other restaurants but i wouldn’t judge the food until i taste it and look at it myself, because like the author said its not consistent with its inconsistencies.
I have never visited a Shake Shack before, although we have one in the neighborhood of City Tech, which im planning to go to one of these days. After reading the article, I don’t think it will hurt business in Brooklyn mainly to because of the many businesses and schools around the way that people would stop in to have a meal. From the article, I would actually prefer visiting a Shake Shack rather than McDonalds or BurgerKing because of the similar menu items but yet a better service they provide. With the other burger places the article have mentioned, I wouldn’t mind visiting them either if the food and experience they will provide me will be worth paying for.
I have eaten at 3 Shake Shack including the one in brooklyn and must say i do not like there french fries at all they are way to salty. But i don’t think that the article will hurt business in brooklyn because there is a lot of people around the area and this is the only Shake Shack in brooklyn. I dont think i will try any of the other burger places mentioned in the article because i am not a fan of burgers.
I have never eaten at a Shake Shack eventhough I have heard from it a lot before this article from a current classmate/friend here at Citytech who works there. I don’t believe it will hurt business in Brooklyn because this Shake Shack is surrounded by many tourist visiting Brooklyn plus its surrounded by many schools in this area. I would try this particular restaurant because I like to be my own judge of food and I don’t go by what one person has to say or critique of a particular establishment. I would also try one of the other restaurants mentioned so I can judge myself on the quality of each restaurant.
I have never eaten at Shake Shack before. I have heard alot about it from other friends. Many people had their own opinons about the establishment. Some hated it while others liked it. I also never have eaten at the Shake Shack in Brooklyn but after hearing about the long lines and busy lunch hours I wouldn’t want to wait and in result it wouldn’t be worth it. As for whether or not the article would hurt the business, I don’t think so. Shake Shack has grown some sort of popularity. Now that it is in Brooklyn it has a very high advantage of attracting many different clientele. Its around many businesses, City Tech, and of course the Fulton Mall. I believe they will do just fine.
Yes, I have eaten at the Shake Shack before, twice as a matter a fact and it was at the one located near Borough Hall. The second time I went there was on Friday and I purchased a signature Shake Shack burger and small french fries for $7.12.Even though the reviewer Peter Wells didn’t write such a positive review about the franchise, I don’t necessarily feel that the review he wrote would drastically hurt the business. He even stated near the conclusion of the article that “It was almost enough to make me stand in line again right then and there, and my name isn’t even Tony”, just goes to show that Peter was willing to give the restaurant a second chance to change his perception of them. I would absolutely dine at some of the burger places mentioned in the review. In fact I ate three times at the Steak n Shake on 42 street that’s located right next door to the David Letterman show.
I have never ever tried Shake Shack. When I wanted to try it the line was extremely long ! One day i will eat at a Shake Shack. Not really in a rush to eat at one because I am not a big burger person. I think the article may hurt the business in Brooklyn somewhat but customers like what they like, and BURGERS and SHAKES are what they like. This give people who come to Brooklyn a chance to eat with a variety.
Unfortunately, I have never ate at Shake Shack. I have passed by the Shake Shack in Brooklyn, it’s not too far from the school. While passing the restaurant, I remember telling myself that I would stop and eat there one day. I really don’t think that Mr. Wells review will stop guest from eating at Shake Shack. The location is great and the name alone, has it’s loyal followers. I intend to pay a visit one of these days and try the strawberry shake soon. The shakes received positive review from Mr. Wells, which he said are smooth, drinkable, not stiff and the flavors are true. I just love a flavorful, smooth shake.
No, i have not eaten or been at the Shake Shack in Brooklyn, Although i would like too. Yes, these articles will hurt the establishment because many people read the newspaper everyday, so seeing negative reviews will make an impact on the restaurant and Danny meyers. I am interested in trying the other burger establishments mentioned in the article, but they might be very similar to what Shack shack is lacking.
I have only visit the shake shack in Brooklyn near school. The article would not effect the business in the shake shack in Brooklyn because even after the article came out, there is still a long line outside of shake shack during lunch time. I would rather eat the burger at Shake Shack rather than the other fast food chain burger like Burger King and McDonald. The ingredients are more fresh and the meat is not artificial. I would like to try the other burger places mention in the article.
I have never eaten at any Shake Shack location although I have heard a lot about it from the students in school. I do not think that the review will do any damage to their business as the food is inexpensive and it is fast food which many people find very convenient. I also believe that the Brooklyn loctaion will always have business as it is located not far from the college and many other office buildings which puts them in a convenient spot with lots of foot traffic. I might try Shake Shack one day because Iam open to trying new restaurants but Iam not a big hamburger fan. Usually if I eat a hamburger I make sure that it is organic or grass fed which is why the other restaurants mentioned in the article sound more appealing to me.
Although the article was extremely informative I do not believe it will have much affect on the sale of Shake Shack. Anyone who has eaten at Shake Shack knows that the food is fresh and absolutely delicious. I have eaten at the Shake Shack in Brooklyn but no where else. the food is very good and very different from any other fast food restaurant. The article complains of the inconsistency of the cooking and the long lines. but this i do not believe will affect the reputation the restaurant has built. It has been weeks since this article was published and New Yorkers still line up everyday waiting for the delicious taste of the Shake Shack meals. Although the portions are small and the price is a little hefty, Shake Shack is the perfect place to go to indulge a guilty pleasure. I would try going to the other restaurants mentioned because the critic claims that the food is just as good for a smaller price.
I haven’t tried the food served by Shake Shack. But I don’t believe that the article will hurt Shake Shack’s business. I still would want to go eat at Shake Shack and try their burgers and fries, mostly their fries. There’s a lot of competition around that area for example Five Guys. Five Guys’ burgers don’t exceed $10 either and their very filling, their fries are very exceptional as well. And I would like to eat at Steak n’ Shake.
Shake shack is a burger chain that has quite a great following, as well as a well respected reputation being that it was developed by Danny Meyers who is widely known for his success in the food industry. That being said, I was excited to check out the Brooklyn location and see what all the fuss was about since I am a huge burger fan. While dining there I ordered the Shack Burger and shack fries. Thinking that it would live up to all the hype, I unfortunately found the burger to be quite bland and decent at best but the fries were amazing. As far as the article goes, I don’t think it will hurt the business since the review is based on one persons opinion and after all we all have different taste buds. In terms of trying other burger “joints” I absoultely plan on trying them all one day and finding out for myself what the best burger in NY is.
No, I have never eaten at any Shake Shack restaurant before. I do not think that it will affect its business in Brooklyn because its surrounded by many schools also not many people that eat there have read this article. I will probably go and try all of the other burger places mentioned in the article to see how good their food is or bad.
