How to Order Secret Hacks Like a Pro
Part of the unique charm of Shake Shack is their highly flexible and modular kitchen. Because every burger is smashed, griddled, and built fresh to order, the kitchen team is incredibly accommodating to customized modifications. However, they do not have a dedicated 'Secret Menu' button on their cash registers. To secure a flawless meal without slowing down the line, follow our pro rules: be extremely explicit about the ingredients you want to add or swap, order during off peak hours, and utilize the official Shack App to easily customize your meal digitally.
- Be descriptive: Order by describing the raw ingredients rather than fancy underground names.
- Use the App: The mobile app allows complex, modular ingredient stack customization.
- Respect the griddle: Order complex secret items when the queues are short and manageable.

The holy grail of griddle hacks. A standard single or double cheeseburger topped with crispy applewood smoked bacon and a generous drizzle of warm, creamy peanut butter sauce. The melting warmth of the griddled beef binds with the sweet, savory peanut butter for a rich, luxurious bite.
Skip the potato bun entirely. Your choice of a griddled Angus beef patty, melted cheese, tomatoes, and ShackSauce wrapped inside crisp, hand selected green leaf lettuce cups. It keeps the core flavors of the ShackBurger while slashing carbohydrates to under 3 grams.
A decadent comfort classic. Two soft potato buns inverted (turned inside out), buttered generously, and griddled on the flat top with layers of sliced American cheese melted until they achieve a gorgeous molten cheese pull and a crispy, golden crust.
Built for massive appetites and protein purists. Four griddled Angus beef patties stacked together, with layers of melted American cheese between each hot patty. This delivers an absolute mountain of savory beef crust and gooey cheese.
A hybrid fusion of the Chicago style hot dog and the classic cheeseburger. A griddled cheeseburger topped with sport peppers, Rick's Picks shredded pickles, fresh chopped onions, red tomatoes, zesty sweet relish, mustard, and a heavy dash of celery salt.
Take the legendary crinkle cut fries to the absolute limit. Standard golden crinkle fries topped with Shake Shack's warm, signature blend of melted cheddar American cheese sauce, followed by a heavy, beautiful drizzle of orange ShackSauce.
A retro soda fountain masterpiece. Premium, sharp Abita Root Beer drafted straight from the tap poured slow over a huge scoop of Shake Shack's dense, velvety Madagascar Vanilla frozen custard. The custard melts slowly, creating a creamy, bubbly froth.
The ultimate warm weather griddle companion. A clean, balanced blend of half fresh house brewed sweet lemonade and half premium, cold draught Pilsner or ShackMeister Ale. The citrus sweetness cuts through the beer bitterness for an incredibly crisp finish.
A stunning sweet savory dessert hack. A standard potato hamburger bun buttered and lightly griddled on the flat top, stuffed with a cold, dense scoop of vanilla or chocolate frozen custard. The warm, salty bun melts the cold, sweet custard perfectly.
