Overview

• Shake Shack launched Fried Pickles nationwide on May 20, 2025, as its first-ever new side dish.
• The item features dill pickles in a proprietary brine, battered and fried, served with house-made Shack Ranch for $3.99.
• This marks the first menu expansion of Shake Shack’s sides beyond its iconic crinkle-cut fries in its 20-year history.
• Customer feedback from last year’s Summer BBQ menu, where fried pickles debuted as a topping, drove the decision to make them a standalone side.
• The launch aligns with Shake Shack’s seasonal Summer BBQ lineup and reflects a broader trend of pickle-focused offerings in fast food.
