Second Shack Shack Planned for St. Louis

Written By Michael Wense

Exciting news from St. Louis Magazine: the Ladue neighborhood is slated to be the second location of hamburger chain Shake Shack from St. Louisan Danny Meyer.

To me, Shake Shack is the modern day equivalent of what (in my memory, at least) Steak N Shake used to be. I remember when Steak N Shake had really quality hamburgers. They’ve gone downhill since then, but back in the day they were the top fast-food spot for a good burger.*

While I’m a big fan of Shake Shack, what I’m less a fan of (at their current St. Louis location at least) is their location: the Central West End, where the parking is terrible. This particular spot in Ladue would be a much more accessible location. (And, as a bonus for me, about the same distance from where I live.)

*Their fries, of course, have always sucked.
