Despite being one of the newcomers in the fast-food game, Shake Shack is already closing in on the powerhouses like In-and-Out, Wendy’s, Mcdonald’s, and Burger King. The New York City-based chain arguably even tops them in some departments like the secret menu.

Fast-food enthusiasts laud Shake Shack’s secret menu items as some of the best in business due to an ingenuity and bold combination of flavors. If you are in the mood to put this to the test, we recommend ordering something from the list below.

Cheese Dog

Most people don’t know that Shake Shack actually started as a hot dog stall in NYC. The company still values its roots and will allow you to get creative with your hot dogs. The best way to do it is to order a cheese dog. This way, you’ll get a split hot dog covered in the melty goodness of American and cheddar cheese.

Peanut Butter and Bacon SmokeShack

This is arguably the fan-favorite on the Shake Shack’s secret menu as it represents the perfect fusion of flavors. In order to test it, you just need to order a SmokeShack burger and peanut butter sauce on the side. Then you drizzle the burger with sauce and dig in.

Shack-Cago Burger

Shack-Cago is one of the best-selling dogs at Shake Shack, thanks to its combination of frankfurter and pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cucumbers. However, if you would like to mix things up a bit, you can order a Shack-Cago burger. Then, you get the same toppings but on a burger patty instead of a sausage.

Loaded Fries

We already told you that Shake Shack encourages creativity and the best way to take advantage of this is with fries. The employees will let you customize your fries in any way you like, including smothering them in cheese, covering them in bacon, or drowning them in a secret sauce and chopped pickles.
