Shake Shack is a popular burger chain that offers 100 percent all-natural Angus beef with no hormones or antibiotics included. Their frozen custard is made out of red sugar and milk from dairy farmers who refuse to use artificial growth hormones.

The Melville location will offer a selection of local frozen custard flavors:

• Crunch-stellation (vanilla custard, malt powder, Valrhona Crunchy Chocolate Pearls and chocolate toffee)
• Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Crunch (chocolate custard, salted caramel sauce, dark chocolate pretzels and fudge sauce)
• Pie Oh My (vanilla custard and a slice of Four & Twenty Blackbirds seasonal pie). About 5 percent of the Pie Oh My sales will support Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center.

Burgers can be paired with brews from local brewing companies:

• Brooklyn Brewery ShackMeister® Ale
• Blue Point Brewing Company
• Port Jeff Brewing Company
• Greenport Harbor Brewing
• Great South Bay Brewery

Glasses of wine, such as Shack RedTM and Shack WhiteTM, are provided by Napa–based Frog’s Leap Winery.

The design of the Melville Shack is also eco-friendly. Tabletops are made by CounterEvolution using reclaimed bowling alley lanes, chairs are designed by Uhuru using sustainable materials and booths are crafted by Staach using lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

Shake Shack customers may order off their iPhone with the Shack App.

Long Island’s first Shake Shack opened in Westbury Plaza, located at 860 Old Country Road in Westbury, in November 2012. Since then, locations have opened in New Hyde Park in September 2015 and Lake Grove in March 2017.
