Dubbed the “star of the summer menu,” the items all boast “high-quality ingredients and complex flavors.”
Customers will be able to pick up the Smoky Classic BBQ Burger and Smoky Classic BBQ Chicken, which are both slathered with the “classic, smoky Shack BBQ sauce fans know and love.”
There’s also the Carolina BBQ Burger and Carolina BBQ Chicken, which are “topped with a Carolina-style BBQ sauce with a sweeter profile.”
Pricing for sandwiches starts at $8.99, while the Spicy Fries with Ranch cost $3.99 and the Spicy Cheese Fries with Ranch a dollar extra at $4.99.
Here’s a breakdown of the items:
- Smoky Classic BBQ Burger: 100% Angus beef topped with American cheese, applewood-smoked bacon, pickles, crispy onions and Shake Shack’s classic smoky BBQ sauce on a toasted potato bun.

Of course, BBQ-lovers know that things can get a little messy when you’re feasting, so Shake Shack will help protect clean clothes from the “glorious mess” by giving out “free, sauce-proof, disposable tees and tanks inspired by Shake Shack’s tray liners.” The merch items, made in collaboration with Another Thing Coming, will be available at select locations nationwide throughout the month of May while supplies last.
Officially, the BBQ menu additions will be available at U.S. Shacks starting May 2, but those who have the Shack App can get exclusive early access starting today, April 29.
After you indulge in the savory BBQ goodness, make sure you leave room for dessert as the summer menu boasts sweet items like OREO® Cookie Funnel Cake Shake, Banana Pudding Shake and Campfire S’mores Shake.
