M SHack (Jacksonville, FL)

M Shack is new local upscale burger chain that currently has three locations in the Jacksonville area. I wanted to visit another location on a previous trip, as it gets raving reviews, but couldn't make it. Now I visit the location in an upscale outdoor mall in a rich suburb of Jacksonville. It has a range of signature burgers, sandwiches, salads, and hot dogs as well as shakes.

 

I get the Asian Burger ($6.99), which comes with spicy coleslaw and hoisin bbq glaze (I hold the pepper Jack cheese). It is medium grilled and has a nice, original flavor with a little kick to it. I also get a side of House Fries ($2.50), which are kind of thicker Burger King fries (with a coating) and very underwhelming. The small Banana Foster Shake ($4.25) is a combination of swirl ice cream and home-made bananas foster puree and is very thick and creamy. Tastes more like caramel than banana.

 

VERDICT: 86/100

Good burgers but underwhelming sides. Definitely didn’t live up to the hype.
