He Said:  

Burger loaded or Chili Dog, this night my choice was the dog smothered with some good ol' pipe cleaning chili. Ok, the chili wasn't that spicy but did have some chunk to it.  Throw some raw white onion on there with same green onion, you have a Shack Chili Dog.  Although the dog was longer than the bun, they complimented themselves nicely ;).  I added a Butterfinger shake which I can never resist adding to my chili dog or burger meal. I have been just reminded that I lied and have had other shakes, Reeses Peanut Butter Cup and Mixed Berry.  Fries are just your regular burger fry, nothing to write home about so I'm writing this off location. I must say the ocean air does add a bit of extra salt to those fries................that is how CLOSE you're to the Pacific Ocean.  Walked in at 185 and walked out 189. Great views, great food and great atmosphere!

This has become our go to place for a burger, fries and shake!

Since I'm a plain Jane eater....I order the Shack Burger beef with lettuce and cheese only.

This is the perfect burger to fulfill that craving for a burger and fries.  

I have always had a spot on, deliciously prepared burger and their fries are super good.  

Along with the ocean view to enjoy this tasty basket of food, it's a perfect meal.

                                                look at that view!

I'm a purist when it comes to my shakes.  I like them simple and traditional. 

Since I'm a HUGE chocolate lover, that's my go to shake flavor.

The Shake Shack offers a Dark Chocolate Shake.....SOLD!  

That is the only one I have had and probably will be the only one I will ever have. 

It's creamy, thick, but not too thick, topped with whip cream and a cherry!  

They serve it before your meal with a wide shake straw and long spoon.

If you are in the area and not hungry for a meal, a shake alone is worth the stop.

The parking lot is small and many times there is a line along the shoulder of the highway with people waiting to park, it's seriously THAT good!  Since we have an annual state park parking pass, so we have parked at the Crystal Cove state park lot and walked the almost mile for a meal.  Probably would be a good idea to do that most of the time! LOL!

It can and does get a little chilly once the sun goes down, so be sure if you are planning to stop by in the evening to bring a lightweight or possibly heavy jacket.  

If you are planning a trip to SoCal and will be in Orange County, Ruby's Shake Shack is worth the stop for a meal!
