Here’s how Shake Shack does Oktoberfest:

If you’re not Oktoberfesting, what the heck are you doing?

They’ve got a big, big Brooklyn Brewery Oktoberfest beer in a commemorative glass for $10.
A cheddar-stuffed-brat-on-a-burger situation (Brat Burger), complete with beer-fried shallots and Shacksauce ($7.59),
A Shackmeister Brat topped with cheese sauce (the adorable Shake Shack word for/impression of queso) ($5.29),
A toasted soft pretzel with Bavarian spices (available with cheese sauce for a buck) ($3),
A Black Forest Milkshake,
And my favorite, the delicious Apfelstrudel Shake.

We got a #VIPeek on Thursday afternoon, during the slight dip in business, which happens around 3pm on weekdays only (HINT-HINT).

Big thanks to Shake Shack for having us out for a taste! Or DANKE as they say in Ze German.

OH and P.S. these special Oktoberfest Shacktoberfest items are only available until October 2. So hurry!

Disclaimer: This #VIPeek was by invitation and all food and drink items were comped by the team at Shake Shack for review. This doesn’t change my opinions. I still love the original Shackburger and the Chick n’ Shack best. But that strudel shake… Damn.
