“This was our 1st time at Shak's. Food was great, service was on point, pricing in range. Very nice clean atmosphere.It was not crowded but had a lot of take-outs and pick-ups. At this time they are hiring for all positions. Good opportunity, summer job for students or anyone.Our waitress had never worked this environment and on the job to weeks. You wouldn't have known it. She took order and clarified to assure accuracy.I was very impressed with Shak's Grill a return visit in the future.Robin M.Reidsville,NC“

“I highly recommend this establishment. You will not be disappointed.“

“Best place in town. I've lived nearby for 7 years and have been coming here regularly for most of those years. The food is consistent and the service is excellent. It also helps that it is probably the least expensive sit-down restaurant in the area. And the amount you get is always great for the price. Mostly good ol' country food on the menu but there are a few surprises like a quesadilla and pita sandwich. I have tried everything on the menu that interests me by this point and nothing has disappointed. And this place has the best ranch dressing. I always thought I HATED ranch until I tried theirs that is made in-house.“

“Great food - Great service.!“

“My husband and I came in 12/6 and I got the filet. It was the BEST steak I have had in such a long time! Save yourself from the corporate steak places and come here! Hubby got the sirloin and it was equally as good!! No steak sauce needed, so flavorful! Great choice of sides!“

“My first visit, I was disappointed with the slow service, although the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. So…we decided to try takeout. Placed an order, was told 10-15 minutes, arrived 15 minutes later, picked up my order, brought it home to enjoy fantastic burgers and excellent fries. Fries are the best around!“

“OMG! The best authentic Mexican food around. Today, we had the Crazy "Steak" Tacos. Very delicious. And the price is great. My new spot to go to for sure.“

Portions are plentiful and the price is right!“

“Moved back home to Burlington after 31 years in Chapel Hill (so glad to leave). always went to the Hillsborough store. Loved it there. Called by pet names, Vet, LT, first name. Seen many come and go. Never had a bad meal. Fast forward to now. Burlington store has come to treat me the same. I live close by so go often and at all different time. Service is always fast except Sundays between 12 and 1, church traffic. Great hot fast food and friendly crews!!“
