"At a Shake Shack in Maryland, a single-patty hamburger costs $6.99, a double is $9.99, and a triple is $12.99. Each burger, whose 100% Angus beef patties weigh in at 4 ounces before cooking, comes on a toasted potato bun with free toppings like lettuce, tomato, sliced onions, pickles, and Shack Sauce. If you want bacon or avocado added, that'll cost you another $1.99. Crispy or caramelized onions, meanwhile, add another $1.29 and alternatives like a gluten-free bun or veggie patty add 99 cents."
"So, when added to the prices of fries (plain fries can be added for $3, but if you want cheese fries, that'll cost you $5.99) and drinks (the cheapest non-water drink is lemonade, which goes for $3.99, and milkshakes start at $5), you're at nearly $20 once taxes are factored in. That's quite a hefty price tag for fast food - especially when combo meals at McDonald's are closer to $10."
Shake Shack offers burgers made with 100% Angus beef on toasted potato buns, with standard toppings included but many add-ons costing extra. Single, double, and triple patties are priced at $6.99, $9.99, and $12.99 respectively, and optional items such as bacon, avocado, specialty onions, and alternative buns incur additional fees. Adding fries and drinks commonly drives a single meal toward $20 after taxes. Many customers and online commenters describe the burgers as good but question whether the higher price delivers sufficient value compared with cheaper fast-food combos.
