Drew Neillie, regional marketing manager for Shake Shack, said Houston had already been a “great market” for the restaurant, but the company had wanted to expand to the Katy area after recently opening its Sugar Land drive-thru location at 2515 N. Town Center Blvd.
Neillie said the location was selected to be a drive-thru location because of its proximity to the busy Katy Freeway. She said having a drive thru will allow for greater accessibility for customers over other non-drive-thru locations, or “Core Shacks,” such as the one located in Montrose.
“As you’re zooming by, you’ll say, ‘Oh, I don't even have to get out of my car in this Texas heat!'” she said.
Shake Shack serves up a variety of burger options, including the classic ShackBurger, a veggie burger and a new ‘Shroom Burger, which is a fried portobello mushroom filled with Muenster cheese. Chicken sandwiches, french fries and hot dogs are also available options.
For dessert, several milkshake and custard options are on the menu. Vanilla, chocolate, Oreo, brownie and nondairy options are available.
Advertised outside the new location is the new avocado bacon burger, which also comes in chicken sandwich form.
