This place is awesome. They always have fresh ingredients, priced fairly, clean and inviting environment. The customer service is next level. Specifically, Dylan deserves a shout out. He was so friendly, gave helpful suggestions, and was patient and really went above be and beyond. I will 100% be a frequent return customer!

Really impressed. Young but professionally mature staff that made me feel at ease ordering for the first time. Got 3 tacos with chicken, asked for all the veggies, I so needed veggies. Got an old school punch card for a free 11th entree, love that nostalgia since I don't wanna another app lol! Great experience so far, so how was the food? Oh my... Best chips, thick salsa, perfect chicken. I can afford all this flavor? Yes, 10 times yes. I'll even spring for fish next time even though man it's gonna be hard to beat the chicken. Now I need to try all the proteins. Dang it burrito shake, I'm hooked.

I’ve really enjoyed my experiences at Burrito Shak. The food is consistently flavorful and mostly fresh, and I appreciate that they offer gluten free options without hesitation. As someone who has to be mindful about what I eat, it’s such a relief to be able to customize bowls and burritos with confidence and still end up with something delicious.
The salsa bar is a great touch, too. It’s nice to be able to mix and match flavors, add extra heat, or try something new each time. It gives the place a fun, build-your-own vibe that makes the meal feel a little more personal.
If I had to point out anything, the warm holding area can look a little questionable at times. Nothing major or deal-breaking, just something you notice walking by. Even so, everything I’ve been served has tasted mostly fresh and well prepared.
What really stands out is the staff. Every visit I’ve had, the team has been eager, kind, and genuinely helpful. Whether it’s answering questions about ingredients, talking through gluten free options, or just greeting you with a smile, they make the experience feel warm and welcoming.
Overall, Burrito Shak delivers great food with great service, and it remains one of my go-to spots when I want something fast, tasty, and customizable.
