The calendar has just barely switched over to 2026, and Shake Shack is hoping to sauce things up in this new year by rolling out its third Korean-Inspired menu. In this latest iteration, there are returning favorites, like the K-Shack Fried Chicken Sandwich (this time with red kimchi slaw instead of white), K-Shack BBQ Burger, and K-Shack Spicy BBQ Fries, and two new items
Instead of a half chocolate and vanilla frozen custard, you get a couple of scoops of vanilla custard with an ounce of fudge sauce. That thick and concentrated chocolate sauce gives your shake a rich and decadent flavor. One Redditor stated that it tasted like a "melted milk chocolate bar and is the best ever!" Our taste tester agreed. "That vanilla custard gives the shake an ultra-creamy, mellow foundation while the fudge brings in a deep, silky chocolate note."
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.
The new Hylan Blvd. restaurant opens Friday, October 31 at 10:30 a.m. and will operate daily from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., serving the full menu of ShackBurgers, Crinkle Cut Fries, hand-spun shakes and limited-time offerings like the new French Onion Soup Burger. Opening day customers will receive custom mini Shake Shack tote bags, and the company will donate $1 for every sandwich sold that day to Staten Island Giving Circle, which supports children, seniors and military veterans living on Staten Island. The Great Kills-based group is a volunteer-driven nonprofit.
You may not have noticed as you're digging into crinkle-cut fries or biting into a burger, but no two Shake Shacks are alike, and with Shake Shacks located all over the world, even the food and drink menus can look different from store to store. In addition to a list of secret Shake Shack menu items, some Shake Shacks serve alcohol.
Fanuele will support Shake Shack's marketing strategy by overseeing advertising, paid media, and insights and analytics and work alongside Steph So, chief growth officer, and Luke DeRouen, chief communications officer. Shake Shack has tested paid media programs in various markets, leading to positive results. The company's marketing will focus on setting Shake Shack apart from fast food competitors, by showcasing premium menu items and the brand's identity.
The addition of fried pickles as Shake Shack's first-ever new side signifies an exciting expansion beyond their signature crinkle-cut fries, responding to customer demand.
