Tired of ordering the same thing every time you go to Shake Shack? If so, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we’re providing the tastiest off-menu items that are guaranteed make you drool. From burgers to hot dogs to fries (oh my!), here’s everything you need to know about Shake Shack’s hidden menu to satisfy all of your cravings.

1

Protein-Style Burger

  1. Who says you can’t have a healthy burger? If you’re on a keto or gluten-free diet, this is the perfect hack to satisfy your craving. Instead of potato buns, the patty and toppings are sandwiched between two leaves of fresh butter lettuce, making this a tasty, carb-free alternative. [1]

Peanut Butter Bacon Burger

  1. Inspired by the Missouri Guber burger, this secret menu item is a peanut-butter lover’s dream. Once you receive your order, drizzle the peanut sauce all over the patty for a sweet and salty flavor explosion. [2]

Quad Burger

  1. Perfect for meat-lovers, The Quad features 4 patties and 4 cheese slices, layered between two gorgeous potato buns. It’s the definition of a protein-packed meal, so you’re guaranteed to be full afterwards. [3]

Shack-Cago Dog

  1. While Shake Shack is known for their burgers, they actually started out as a hot dog stand (so they know what they’re doing). The Shack-Cago is the dressed-up version of the iconic Hot Dog, bursting with a variety of textures and flavors. Add any toppings you like, and drizzle on some Shack Sauce if you really want to go crazy. [4]
5

Garden Dog

  1. With all the flavors of the Shack-Cago dog, this secret menu item is a light yet filling meal for vegetarians. Instead of a sausage base, the star of the Garden Dog is a crunchy, refreshing pickle. Top your "dog" with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cucumbers for extra crunchiness and flavor. [5]

Cheese Dog

  1. If you want to keep it simple (or you’re a picky eater), the Cheese Dog is the way to go. This hack combines beef sausage with melty American and cheddar cheese, proving that less is really more. [6]
7

BLT

  1. Nothing beats the classic combination of crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and crisp lettuce, so don’t be surprised when this becomes your go-to order. Depending on Shake Shack’s seasonal menu, you can also request freshly sliced avocado for a sandwich bursting with flavor. [7]

Ice Cream Sandwich

  1. From tiramisu to caramel popcorn, Shake Shack’s seasonal custard menu is truly on another level. If you want something more substantial than a shake, order their off-menu ice cream sandwich. Since the potato buns are slightly salty, they complement the sweetness of the custard, no matter what flavor you choose. [8]
9

Shandy

  1. Whether you’re eating a hot dog, burger, or fries, this buzzy drink pairs well with anything on the menu. Customize your Shandy by choosing a seasonal lemonade flavor or asking for a local brew. While it’s available year-round, it’s especially refreshing on a hot summer day. [9]

Root Beer Float

  1. Unlike the root beer float you remember drinking in elementary school, Shack Shack elevates this American classic with their smooth and decadent custard. If you’re craving a creamy, carbonated drink, this is the perfect combination for you. [10]
    • If your local Shake Shack doesn’t make floats behind the counter, ask for an empty cup so you can mix this magical concoction at your table.

Beer Float

  1. If you want a boozy spin on the kid-friendly classic, order your favorite local brew with frozen custard. While some locations promote this item on the Fourth of July, it’s actually available year-round. [11]

Spicy Fries

  1. Although cheese fries (and bacon cheese fries) are no longer a secret menu item, you can still hack Shake Shack's crinkle cut fries to make everyone jealous. For a spicy kick, top any menu item with chili peppers, courtesy of the SmokeShack burger. [12]
    • If you’re craving a zesty dipping sauce, ask for a side of Shack sauce on the side.
