Burgers and Shakes Are Served With a Side of All-American Charm at Shake Shack

October 7, 2014 by

For diners who've already bitten into one of Shake Shack's juicy cheeseburgers, the fast-casual franchise needs no introduction. But for the uninitiated, here's a primer: Founded in 2004, Shake Shack was born from a single hot dog cart in Manhattan's Madison Square Park. Nowadays, the "modern-day roadside burger stand," as the restaurant puts it, boasts more than 35 Shake Shack locations worldwide.

Here in KOP, there's a Shake Shack just on the fringe of the King of Prussia Mall Plaza parking lot. Opened in 2013, the location earns the unique distinction of being one of two solar-powered Shake Shacks, but the menu offerings here are identical to what you'll find at Shake Shack locations worldwide: wax paper-wrapped burgers, griddled hot dogs, and crinkle cut fries, all of which bolster the franchise's all-American, old-school vibe by being made to-order. Dessert isn't overlooked here, either: Straws stand upright in Shake Shack's hand-spun milkshakes, while Concretes tempt a sweet tooth with spoonfuls of creamy custard blended with the diner's choice of candies, cookies, and sauces.

Shake Shack's King of Prussia location is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The promise of draught beer and wine by the glass up the franchise's popularity; expect a wait.

Bluefin2: Enjoy Fresh Fish, Modern Flavors at This Local BYOB

September 30, 2014 by

Find Thin-Crust Pies at Little Sicily Pizza

June 3, 2014 by

Chefs at Little Sicily Pizza don't chop and cook their fresh ingredients beyond recognition before scattering them across your pie. True to Italian tradition, they maintain the colors, flavors, and aesthetics of whole foods throughout the entire preparation process so that the finished product looks almost too beautiful to eat—almost.

Regulars of this King of Prussia pizzeria seem to agree that signature pies like the Meat Lover's pizza and chicken buffalo pie will persuade you to dig in, despite the artwork evident in every square slice of thin crust. Right down to the meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, ham, and mozzarella on the Meat Lover's pie, every pizza component is fresh and prepared just as chefs would in Old World Italy.

The same could be said of other menu items, which range from stromboli and calzones to pasta and sandwiches to veal parmigiana and chicken alfredo. Dine in or take home your meal here for an authentic experience. Visit Little Sicily's website to learn more about this KoP pizzeria!
