Tay’s Burger Shack brings a commitment to clean ingredients and sustainable farming that’s rare in the fast-casual burger world.
The tiny shack with awesome retro vibes proves that size doesn’t matter when flavor is this huge.
What Makes Tay’s Burger Shack Special
Every burger uses 100% grass-fed to grass-finished beef from sustainable farms without pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, antibiotics, or added hormones.
The fries get cooked in 100% beef tallow—the old-fashioned way that creates incredible flavor and better health than heavily processed seed oils.
