Shake Shack has appeared on many a cheap eats list throughout the years, and with good reason. Danny Meyer’s nod to fast food serves up, pound for pound, some of the best burgers in Manhattan. At Shake Shack, order a Shackburger and you’ll receive a freshly ground Pat LaFrieda blend cooked on a sizzling flattop grill. These crusty patties are paired with screamingly fresh lettuce, tomato and a “Shacksauce” that puts McDonald’s secret sauce to shame. There’s usually a line at any one of the Manhattan locations, but it’s always worth the wait.

“There’s usually a line at any one of the Manhattan locations, but it’s always worth the wait.”
I have to disagree–their burgers are usually disappointing, and their drinks loaded with ice (fries are okay, I suppose). Most recently, the nearly $7 Shroomburger was tiny and more cheese than anything else.
