The Big Shack Debuts with Double Patties and a Twist

If you’re a burger aficionado in Philadelphia, take note The Big Shack has arrived. This is Shake Shack’s newest—and boldest—limited-time release. This towering creation takes the beloved ShackBurger to new heights, quite literally, with an added bun, double the meat, and a punch of flavor that sets it apart in the premium burger landscape.

Crafted with Shake Shack’s signature 100% Angus beef, the sandwich is built with two juicy patties layered between a buttered and toasted potato bun—plus a bonus bun in the middle. Melted American cheese hugs each patty, while green leaf lettuce, thick-cut dill pickles, hand-sliced tomatoes, and onions bring freshness and crunch. What pulls it all together is a brand-new secret sauce, created by Shake Shack’s Executive Chef and VP of Culinary Innovation, John Karangis, exclusively for consumption experience. As Karangis puts it, the goal was simple: “Create something bigger and bolder than anything we’ve ever done before.” Mission accomplished.

Why The Big Shack Is More Than a Familiar Icon

Let’s address the elephant in the room: The Big Shack does resemble a certain iconic fast-food favorite. But where that sandwich relies on nostalgia and mass production, The Big Shack distinguishes itself with quality, care, and craveability. This isn’t just another “double decker.” This is a Shake Shack upgrade: made to order, stacked with responsibly sourced ingredients, and built for burger lovers who want premium flavor without compromise.

From the supple toasted bun and crisp produce to the rich, savory secret sauce that ties it all together, every element speaks to the brand’s culinary ethos. It’s rich, satisfying, and surprisingly balanced for such a sizable sandwich. And at just $9.99, The Big Shack offers an impressive value that feels both indulgent and smart.

Good news for local foodies—The Big Shack is available right now at all four Philadelphia Shake Shack locations: Center City, Midtown Village, Fishtown, and University City. But like all good things, this beefy masterpiece won’t be around forever. As a limited-time offer, The Big Shack is your invitation to indulge before it’s gone.
