PENNSYLVANIA - Get ready, Philadelphia pickle aficionados and Shake Shack loyalists! The moment many have been craving is finally here. Shake Shack, the acclaimed fast-casual restaurant celebrated for its made-to-order 100% Angus beef burgers and hand-spun milkshakes, has officially added a highly anticipated new side to its Philadelphia menus: Fried Pickles. Launched on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, these crispy, tangy delights are built for dipping and are already creating a buzz.
A Direct Response to Fan Demand
This isn't just a random menu addition; Shake Shack is giving the people what they want. The introduction of Fried Pickles comes as a direct result of overwhelming guest feedback. During last summer's popular BBQ Menu promotion, an impressive one-third of all customer comments included mentions of fried pickles, with 17% of those specifically requesting them as a standalone side dish. Broader consumer insights further revealed that a third of quick-service restaurant diners were hoping for more side options at Shake Shack.

Shake Shack's answer to these requests is simple yet "dill-icious": Fried Pickles with Ranch.
- The Pickles: Made with Shack's proprietary brined dill pickle chips.
- The Prep: Each pickle chip is lightly coated, seasoned, and fried until perfectly crisp, delivering a satisfying crunch.
- The Dip: Served with a side of Shake Shack's classic house-made ranch dressing, the perfect creamy counterpoint to the tangy, crispy pickles.
