Shake shack is adding a new side to its menu for the first time ever — and fans say it’s ‘perfection’

It’s dill-icious. On Tuesday, Shake Shack announced they were adding fried pickles to their menu, the first-ever side that isn’t crinkle-cut fries. The new item features dill pickles in the

restaurant’s “proprietary brine,” fried “to perfection” with a crispy outer layer, and served with a side of house-made Shack Ranch. “Move aside Crinkle Cuts – it’s time for our newest side

to make its debut,” the press release read. “Our newest side, Fried Pickles are here, and they are stealing the spotlight.” The addition of fried pickles to the menu builds from the

excitement of Shake Shack’s rollout of their summer BBQ menu. EXPLORE MORE Last year, one-third of customers who tried the summer lineup shared their delight for the fried pickle topping,

featured on the chain’s Carolina BBQ Burger and Carolina BBQ Chicken Sandwich, Shake Shack said. One-third of fast-food consumers also expressed interest in more side options at the Shack —

and the chain _pickled_ their interest. Fried pickles will be available on Shake Shack menus for $3.99 for a limited time. Shack Shake also recently released a new shake — the Dubai

Chocolate Shake, inspired by the viral pistachio cream-and-pastry filled chocolate bars. Meanwhile, the restaurant is celebrating National Burger Month by offering a free burger to patrons

every day from May 1 through June 1. Each week, one of four different burgers will be offered free of charge when customers order on the Shack App, online or at an in-Shack kiosk with the

code “BURGERMONTH.” Customers qualify for the mouth-watering freebie if they spend $10 or more at the franchise. From May 19 through May 25, customers can get a free Avocado Bacon Burger,

and from May 26 through June 1, they can get a free ShackBurger.
