Lucky for you, there are plenty of restaurants to fill your appetite at ICON Park, but none are quite like Shake Shack. I know what you’re thinking, “Another burger joint?”, and at first I was suspicious too, but Shake Shack does burgers right, it’s as if they’ve managed to combine all that is good about their competitors and packaged it into the perfect burger. Apparently, they have extremely good chicken sandwiches, I wouldn’t know, for me the burgers are too good to warrant getting anything else.
