Slinging "crowd-pleasing", "old-school" burgers and "creamy smooth" shakes, Danny Meyer's "über-popular" mini-chain is a "fast-food revelation" thanks to "cheap, high-quality" eats; "outrageous" lines and "musical-chairs" seating come with the territory, so regulars prefer the less frenzied "off hours."
