The New York-born cult favorite Shake Shack has opened its third San Jose restaurant.
The burger emporium, part of Westgate Center but situated in a freestanding building along Saratoga Avenue, started serving customers today. The two other Shakes are located at the Westfield Valley Fair and Westfield Oakridge malls.
The fast-casual eatery was founded as a hot-dog cart in a New York City park but quickly became known for its all-natural Angus beef burgers. However, there’s still an all-natural Vienna beef “flat-top dog” on the menu — along with cage-free chicken sandwiches, crinkle-cut French fries and hand-spun milkshakes.
