I was looking for an inexpensive place to eat near the Ellenton mall, but not in the mall. I love burgers so this place seemed ideal. It was a choice well chosen. The food was delicious. My eyes were hungrier than by stomach. With an appetizer split between us(2 people) and two sides, I had enough for another very full meal later in the day. The service was also wonderful. The server suggested our waters should be refilled even when we didn’t even realized they were running low. The interior of the place gives off a 50s style vibe, which went very well with the food. My only regret is not trying their shakes or dessert, so I will be back again!

Great place for a burger and shake! Sat outside on the punchcard tables and enjoyed listening to old rock and roll while having ice cream… Returned a few days later for that burger and it did not disappoint!

Shake Station is a low-key hidden American restaurant with the typical hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream. I finally made the drive out to Ellenton after seeing such great reviews. I walked in with a guest of mine. Therefore, we sat for two. To begin our meal, we ordered the Balsamic Bleu Cheese for our appetizer. It did not sound appetizing but I wanted to try something different. It was pretty appetizing after all as we were served with a basket of chips with bacon bits, balsamic glaze and bleu cheese dressing. I was in the mood for seafood so I kept browsing the seafood menu but I ended up getting the cheeseburger that was a fresh 6 oz. hand-patty served with lettuce, mayonnaise, onions, pickles and tomatoes, except I specifically asked for no tomatoes. My guest went with the Mushroom Swiss Burger. The burgers were edible and I will leave it at that. We also ordered a side of crinkle fries to share between the two of us. I think I will try the tater tots next time. We were full after digesting our burgers but we had to get the infamous shake as we were dining in at Shake Station, of course. We shared the Butter Pecan shake topped with whipped cream and a cherry. Our dessert was decent but the greatest thing we ordered here. There are multiple flavors of ice cream to choose from: –Black Cherry –Butterscotch Bomb –Butter Pecan -«C» is for Cookie –Calypso Crunch –Chocolate –Mint Chip –Moosetracks(sugarfree) –Orange Sherbert –Stellar Coffee –Strawberry –Vanilla I will visit again when I have the effort to make the drive. The next time I come, I hope to try something new and finish my visit with dessert, of course. All in all, our server, Tori, was excellent as she was capable of answering the many questions that I had.

This is a great burger/shake place. Visiting family and hit this place several times. I love the hand spun shakes and malts. Some of the best I have had anywhere. They also have a small menu and the burgers are very good. They do get slammed at times when groups show up together but overall great service. The only negative is the food does not always come out together. But when it does it’s great. They have a large outside seating area that is good if you bring a pet or want to sit outside. They will give your pet s snack if you ask.

We have been coming to Ellenton for years to visit the outlet mall, but this place really makes the trip so much more enjoyable. Super clean, great food, wonderful ice cream and the service is top-notch! We will be back and with place on our map, we will be visiting more often! Our server Heather was so friendly and made our kids feel very special!

Balsamic Blue Cheese Chips are a must! House made chips drizzled with blue cheese sauce, balsamic vinegar and bacon crumbles — what’s not to like?!? Ordered the burgers med rare — they both came out perfect! The staff was friendly. We came close to closing time — they were all busy cleaning up and breaking down stations, but were always checking on us. Will be back!

I recently went here for the first time. The staff was friendly and worked as a team which was nice to see. The food was fresh and delicious. I had a hamburger and fruit cup. I will definitely return and have already recommended it to others.

I had a steak and cheese sandwich, my fiancé had a BLT, we both had milkshakes the waitress is a kind of young I guess they were like teenagers which wasn’t a bad thing just be prepared for basically kids serving you, the food was average the milkshakes not as good as Steak N Shake for instance but for something that’s local, reasonable in price, the décor is very cool and vintage 4 stars I recommend it. it’s not the greatest, but is above average

Ok so I went back(like I said I would in my last review) to try the onion rings & they were very disappointing. Although my burger was just as good as my 1st visit, the onion rings were oddly greasy(it was challenging to eat them all). I’ll stick to ordering the crinkle cut fries when I go back. Now that I’ve tried Rippers, I think I enjoyed the food there more yet the service at Shake Shack was better.

Yum! Great bacon cheeseburgers. Bacon is very well cooked, tater tots and fries are perfect. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. Affordable, yummy eats. Without alcohol under $ 10 per person.

The cheeseburger was delish. Hand patty, good flavor and actually cooked medium(with a little pink). The bun was above average bakery bun that had been buttered and grilled and had crispy edges. I asked for pickles and onions for the burger and got plenty of both. The onion petals were actually thin onion rings and were a pleasant surprise from what I thought they were going to be like. I had a vanilla malt from hand scoop ice cream as opposed to soft serve. Even though it didn’t come until I was halfway through my meal it was very tasty — thick and very malty. I will definitely recommend this place to others and will return myself.

Sat at the bar… greeted with a smile :-) Burger comes solo… we added fried. Yummy… All cooked to perfection. Burgers are definitely home made. Would swing by any time in the area. Thanks. (Good tea too)

Tried for the first time today ! Really cute diner !. The food was very disappointing only the home made chips and ice cream were delicious. The rest of the food the Philly cheesesteak had no taste the chicken warp tasted weird and my chil did not like his burger at all ! The staff is very friendly. Will give it another try hopefully it was just today

Both my wife and I went and ate here on our vacation. The décor and 60’s settings were cool and the cheeseburger was terrific but that is it! I had two sides and deep fried and greasy onion rings, the shake was a clump of delicious ice cream too thick to drink through a straw but good ice cream! The appetizer chips with blue cheese and vinegarette wasn’t that good and the staff rushed us out of the establishment. There are better choices in the area!

Nice diner ambiance with a menu to match. The prices are reasonable and there’s something for everyone. Like the local feel and will definitely come back. The blue cheese burger was very blue cheesey which was appreciated and the fries were crispy and cooked just right. Appreciate the attentive staff. Would rather be able to pay your server and leave as the bar area can get congested.

Great new restaurant in our area. If you are visiting here stop in here. If you live somewhere else or traveling on interstate 75 it’s worth the trip here. Milk shakes are great especially with a hamburger. Very very clean. waitresses are great and pretty to. One of the neighborhoods special places.
