Yelper Matthew C., who reviewed it on Oct. 11, wrote, "Fantastic! Came in on opening day, some of the kiosks were out and they ran out of strawberry milkshakes, after all, what can you expect for such a massive opening? In spite of all this, I ordered a double smoke shack with fries and a salted caramel shake. Everything was exquisite ... I ate every bite and left satisfied. I will be back soon!"
