Shake Shack is bringing its burgers, crinkle-cut fries and hand-spun shakes to River City Casino & Hotel, with the popular restaurant chain set to open its newest St. Louis-area location on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
The new restaurant will make its debut with an 11 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by its public opening at noon. Located inside River City Casino & Hotel, the Shake Shack adds another nationally recognized dining brand to the property’s lineup of restaurants and entertainment offerings.
The menu will feature many of the chain’s best-known items, including the ShackBurger, SmokeShack, crispy chicken sandwiches, crinkle-cut fries, frozen custard and hand-spun milkshakes. Guests also will be able to order house-made lemonades and other signature offerings.

One menu item will be exclusive to PENN Entertainment properties: the Jackpot Shake. The casino-exclusive dessert combines vanilla frozen custard with two types of cookies and is finished with whipped cream, cookie crumbles and sprinkles.
Known for its made-to-order burgers featuring 100% Angus beef, Shake Shack has built a national following around its take on American comfort food and casual dining. The River City opening gives St. Louis diners another opportunity to visit the growing restaurant brand while adding a new food option for casino and hotel guests.
“We are constantly looking for ways to elevate the overall guest experience,” said Mike Thoma, vice president and general manager of River City Casino & Hotel. “The opening of Shake Shack brings an iconic restaurant brand to our property and adds an exciting new dining option for our guests and the St. Louis community.”
