A Sneak Peek at Northern California’s First Shake Shack
Get ready for fried chicken on a potato bun at the Bay Area’s only Shake Shack.
You might as well get in line right now because hordes are no doubt going to descend upon Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto on Saturday when the first Northern California Shake Shack finally opens.
Yes, the wildly popular gourmet burger chain by New York’s Danny Meyer will finally open its doors in the Bay Area. It is right next to P.F. Chang’s in the ritzy outdoor mall.
Opening hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. And the first 100 people through the doors on opening day get a free Shake Shack travel bag.
Last night, I had a chance to get a sneak peek and taste when I was invited to a media preview party.

The interior features reclaimed and repurposed materials.
The 2,491-square-foot former Wells Fargo bank building features outdoor as well as indoor seating, including tabletops made of reclaimed bowling alley lanes.
It’s also cashless. You place your order at self-serve kiosks.
