Remember last month when I featured the story about the new burger place called Hopdoddy? Well, I discovered that about the same time that Hopdoddy opened, another new burger place also set up business in the valley. It's called Shake Shack. So, yesterday I had an opportunity to give it a try. Above is the burger I ordered. It was called a "smokeshack" because it has smoked bacon on it. I'm here to tell you there is no comparison. Hopdoddy has the far (and I do mean far) more delicious burger. This one had a much thinner patty, flavorless cheese and a rather pain-Jane bun.
Their menu is rather limited too. They only have five burgers on the menu along with a chicken sandwich and a few hot dogs. And, their five burgers are pretty basic. Hopdoddy has eight very different and very creative burgers along with a club sandwich, a tuna burger and a vegetarian burger. In my book, Hopddody wins, hands down! What's even better is that Hopdoddy is closer to where I live. Win...win!
It looks very fresh so such a pity it was a let down. At least you know!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine it being so plain, by the looks of it. You got some great shots at least!

It's quite fun doing the testing though Sharon :) Your burger here doesn't look so bad, but it's all in the taste oui 😃
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're certainly satisfied with the first.
ReplyDeleteI guess we know where you will be hanging out!
ReplyDeleteHeart attack on a plate! But oh sooooo good! I'd love to try one!
ReplyDeleteDanny Meyer (the originator of Shake Shack in NYC) will be sorry to hear about this! ;>
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteSharon, I didn't have you pegged as a burger kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteShake Shack is a phenomenon in NYC -- I'm surprised it wasn't as good here. (I've only been a few times, and I think I've only had shakes!) I'm glad the place closer to you is the better one. :)
