Funny, most people I know think Shake Shack is too expensive for the size of the sandwich. They are a bit smaller than your average burger, but I honestly think it's one of the better I've had. I have two spots nearby me so I have to resist going too often.

I'll eat at a airport Taco Bell Express before I wait 30 minutes for a damn burger.

The lines only get that bad if you're stupid enough to go during lunch on a weekend when it's a nice day.
I've been to that one the last time I was in New York. You know, that big line-up moves surprisingly fast. Around twenty minutes. They are very organized and it was a pleasant experience in the park.
It was also worth the modest wait. Those burgers and fries were tasty. Went down real nice with their beer. I'll go back for sure!

It's RARELY that busy anymore. Not to mention they have a lot more locations now throughout the city and the picture you posted is when the new one popped up by Time Square and the Chrysler building. Wait time is usually 5 - 10 minutes depending on when you go to eat at the other locations spread out through the city.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Yep, at that price range I'd rather go to my local diner and spend a dollar or two more and get an awesome made-to-order burger with a huge basket of garlic fries. Or just head to Red Robin and grab their cheapest burger and binge on their fries.
So I just had one of these as night. The pattie was dry and the mayo was too thick. I thought it was just my place and the time so I looked at reviews and saw they said the same thing. I then realized why I hate McDonald's burgers: their patties are always dry. Why is that?
Also, despite the dry pattie, I'm going to get another here in a few hours.

I just had the same experience.
Had a coupon so went it and tried one.
It was a waste of 750 calories.
- Pattie was dry and over-salted, IMO (you could see the seasoning on it).
- Bun was a bit too dense
- Mayo was put on this thing in absurd quantities probably to make up for the dryness of the pattie. Would have been better with more fat in the meat and less added on top.
- Cheap, school bus yellow mustard
- Mustard and mayo squirting out of this thing as I'm biting into it
I want my 750 calories back.

Is this the limited time burger with the cringeworthy ads with that unfunny son of a bitch, Max Greenfield.
I won't eat that shit just because of those weird, dumb commercials. Fucking hipsters. Trying way too hard.
If you guys want a good burger, no-scratch that, a fantastic tasting burger.. Try one at PJ Clarkes (there's a couple here in NYC, idk about anywhere else).. It not that fast food garbage and you could throw a fried egg on top (trust me, it's delicious)
Or Peter Luger's before 3pm. They use porterhouse beef and it's soooo fucking good.
Lol at "premium beef".. From McDonald's? Ha!
I wouldn't eat this if I was starving

Who is this Max guy!? He's fucking awful and unfunny. The commercials are cringeworthy.
Who at McDonald's marketing approved this shit fest series of ads?

I almost want them to get rid of chicken selects where I'm from. I'd have zero reason to go to maccy d's then.
If they actually looked like that I would buy.

Just had it, shit was terrible. Fuggin McDonalds fooled me again. 10 processed meat nuggets for $1.50 was a great deal though!

benevolent sexism
The problem with all these "premium" fast food burgers is that there's too much meat and the meat isn't why fast food burgers taste good.

Yeah the new ads are really bad. It's like KFC and McDonalds are trying to top eachother in the terrible tv advertising department recently

+1Mushrooms, on a burger?
And not quite buying the, "premium steak", I wonder where they got the Stirloin beef from though.
You guys are weird. Mushroom and swiss burgers are delicious.
Holy shit these ads are terrible.

Mushroom and Swiss on a burger is basically my favorite thing.
Wish I knew of more burger joints in the UK (specifically in the North London area).
All I see these days are burger vans (which taste like cafe burgers) and McDonalds with the odd Burger King.
Don't know why anyone would bother with a "premium burger" at McDonalds of all places.

I almost don't mind Darrell Hammond, tbh. They're quirky and stupid. He's portraying a character. It's supposed to be a little dumb and campy.
But Max is just...hurl inducing.
