Shake Shack is coming to San Francisco!

[RandySF]

Shackburgers and crinkle cut fries are coming to downtown San Francisco.

Shake Shack confirmed to The Chronicle plans are in place for the company to open a new outpost in San Francisco’s Westfield Center in 2020. The company has not said where the Shake Shack will be located in the mall or what it will offer. The Chronicle has reached out for more details.

The Westfield location will likely be Shake Shack’s second outpost in San Francisco proper. The company is still planning to open in San Francisco’s Cow Hollow neighborhood. The restaurant, slated for a former Real Food Co. market space on Fillmore Street, is still awaiting permits.

Since January 2018 when Shake Shack first announced plans to open outposts in Northern California, locations have opened in Palo Alto at the Stanford Shopping Center and at Marin’s Marin County Mart, both of which drew lengthy lines and saw customers waiting hours for food. Over the summer, word came a Shake Shack was also heading to Oakland’s Uptown Station complex.

1. Don't get too excited

You’ll go once or twice and then ask what the big deal is. The burgers are ok, the fries ordinary, but stay away from the shakes. They are inedible, made of frozen custard. A milk shake is made from ice cream, not some processed stuff that comes out of a spigot.

At any rate, my experience has been that after a few curious visits you’ll return to your favorite local burger and fries haunt.
