“Every once in a while you have something that makes you just go "Goddamn!". Back in south India they had this local brand called Hangyo which churned out the best Belgian chocolate ice cream I've had in my life. Hangyo was immeasurably superior than the competition and I patronized that establishment quite frequently- much to my own detriment.

When I had a taste of the Tall Tale chocolate ice cream here it was the same moment; all over again. Identical in every fashion. I haven't had ice cream like that in 80 months. I had almost convinced myself the nostalgia for the product was a figment of my imagination but the charmery has earned the distinction of proving my sanity. Anyway, I am glad I don't live on this side of the country for the sake of my own health. Otherwise I would've had the top spot on the Charmery watchlist. You never know; the NSA's a stone's throw away.“

“Oh my sweet lord. I absolutely hate cupcakes- I’ve tried every bakery practically in Hoco and from here to the sun for good cupcakes that aren’t dry or that the frosting isn’t hard and flavorful. Smallcakes.Columbia hands down the best cupcakes I’ve ever had in my entire life. These cupcakes taste like Nana just baked them and frosted them before every bite. You guys did a fantastic job!“

“I love the convenience of ordering online. Food was ready when I arrived with my family to dine in. With a family of young children, having the food waiting for us when we arrive makes the experience of eating out more enjoyable. The kids aren’t complaining about being hungry or asking when the food will be ready. I try to use this parent hack whenever we decide to dine out.

As for the food, it’s upscale fast casual. Shake Shack is consistent and never seems to disappoint. My kids especially love the crinkle cut fries and milkshakes. My spouse and I enjoy the Chicken Shack sandwiches when we want to change up our entree preferences. Overall, I think Shake Shack is an excellent restaurant for a quick and delicious meal.“
