Sometimes, a deal comes along that’s just too good to ignore.

Fans of flame-grilled flavors and savory bites might want to keep their eyes on a familiar fast-casual favorite this May.

While many are just counting down to a single food holiday, others are quietly cashing in on something much bigger.

And it involves one of America’s most beloved menu staples, offered weekly, for free.



Throughout the month, a well-known burger chain is giving customers the chance to score a different free burger every week.

There’s just one small catch—you need to spend $10 to unlock the offer. Still, the deal covers four full weeks of juicy options, all wrapped up with a bonus that ends on June 1.


From SmokeShack to ShackBurger, this rotating lineup keeps it fresh.

Each week features a new single burger, included free with qualifying orders. As the company said in its announcement, “We are not picking favorites.”

Whether you like it smoky, cheesy, or stacked with toppings, there’s a freebie waiting.

What's on your burger schedule?​

May 1–11: SmokeShack
Topped with applewood-smoked bacon, chopped cherry peppers, and signature ShackSauce. Spicy, smoky, and undeniably crave-worthy.


May 12–18: Bacon Cheeseburger
American cheese paired with crisp applewood-smoked bacon. Classic, comforting, and packed with flavor.


May 19–25: Avocado Bacon Burger
Fresh avocado meets melty American cheese and applewood-smoked bacon. Rich, creamy, and satisfying.


May 26–June 1: ShackBurger
The original favorite—American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce. Simple, familiar, and iconic.


Each burger is available for free during its assigned window with a $10+ purchase. Only one free burger is allowed per order.

How to claim yours:​

Step one: Place your order through the brand’s official app, website, or a kiosk inside the store. Orders made at the counter, via drive-thru, or through any third-party delivery app won’t qualify.

Step two: Make sure your cart hits at least $10 before tax and tip. Any combo of food or drink is fine, as long as it reaches the minimum.



Step three: Manually add the featured free burger of the week to your cart. It won’t be included unless you add it yourself.

Step four: Enter the weekly promo code—spelling and case matter. These codes are shared through the brand’s site or app each week.

Step five: Pick up and enjoy your burger on the house.

Pro tip: Dining with others? Each person must place their own $10+ order to receive a free burger. The deal is strictly one per order.



May is National Burger Month—a time to celebrate one of the most loved American foods.

Shake Shack’s deal is both a thank-you to regulars and a warm welcome to new visitors.

And with summer around the corner, what better way to kick things off than with a stacked sandwich in hand?



As the weather warms up, Americans start firing up the grill. Cookouts, picnics, and backyard meals all revolve around one thing—the burger.

National Burger Day falls on May 28, but fans know the whole month deserves some flavor.

This isn’t just a one-day offer, it’s a full month of freebies.

If you’re craving a smoky, cheesy, or classic burger, there’s something new waiting each week. Just don’t wait too long, the deal ends June 1.
