The BEST Shake Shack that I've been to! I literally go twice a week, on my way home from work. So good and the workers are pretty nice!

What a disaster. Got wrong order, didn't realize it til back in the parkway. Also got the skimpiest order of fries ever and so salty.

This was my first time going to a shake shack at a rest stop but this was a great experience. Didn't feel any different from going to a stand alone location. The wait was just as long as I would wait at any other location but luckily the food also tasted as it did in any other location.
