The attention to detail results in a difference it’s possible for you to quickly taste.
Here’s how each burger ranked, starting with my least favorite and counting down to the very best.
Veggie Shack
Vegetarians, rejoice!

It cost me $9.49 but doesn’t taste as great as the chain’s other vegetarian options.
It was topped with American cheese, crispy onions, pickle slices, and sauce.
The bun looked bouncy and fresh, and everything was neatly put together, which was a plus.

Texture aside, the flavor was good and wasn’t too salty.
In other words, it’s fantastic.
I spent $13.49 on this mega-sized burger that, although wonderful, may be too overwhelming for some.

The look:In so few words, a lot was going on here.
I managed, but it was no easy feat.
The taste:Impressive.
Brittany Natale/Eat This Not That
It had a rich, earthy flavor, and the textures melded together beautifully.
Although this burger was top-notch, I did get very full very fast.
Because of this, I gave it a lower score, as it’s somewhat of a novelty.

I opted to add pickles for an added crunch.
This burger came to $9.49, and it’s a must-try if you have yet to order it.
The look:This burger had less flair than the others on the list.
Brittany Natale/Eat This Not That
The taste:Scrumptious.
Thanks to the bacon, this burger was rich and meaty with salty undertones.
The taste:Delicious!
Brittany Natale/Eat This Not That
This burger tasted very high-quality and fresh.
Usually, avocado is a hit or a miss when it’s added to the mix.
The avocado used in this burger, though, was top-tier.
It was smooth and creamy without tasting too mushy or hard because it wasn’t ripe enough.
I would give this one an eight out of 10 in the taste department.
The taste:Fabulous, and even better than I remember.
I had this burger years ago and I was pleasantly surprised that it was even tastier than I remembered.
Overall, if you love mushrooms and want something meat-free, this is for you.
The taste:Holy moly, was this one tasty!
It didn’t taste salty in the least bit.
Shack Burger
The ShackBurger is the quintessential Shake Shack burger.
If you’ve never eaten at the restaurant before, this is the first one you should order.
you’re free to order it with either a single patty or double.
The look:Nice and simple.
The potato bun was lightly toasted but still felt soft and fresh.
The taste:Wonderful, like always.
The burger patty was well-cooked and had a great charred crust along the edges.
This burger is ideal if you like a delicious, straightforward burger that doesn’t taste overly complicated.
This burger sticks to the basics and does it perfectly.
Order this with a side of fries and a chocolate shake, and you’re good to go.
