Is the Chicken Shack a good deal?
At a typical $8.99, the Chicken Shack at Shake Shack gives you 550 calories and 34g of protein — 3.8g of protein and 61 calories for every dollar you spend.

Where it stands out: a high absolute protein load (34g). Worth noting, though — sodium runs high (1,690mg). If you want more for your money in the same category, Baja Chicken Protein Pocket at Subway scores higher (80/100 value, $3.99).
