Shake Shack just dropped a brand new side, giving the chain's legendary crinkle-cut fries a run for their money. Say hello to Fried Pickles with Ranch—and yes, they’re as addictive as they sound.

These aren't your run-of-the-mill pickle chips. Shake Shack is using its own proprietary-brined pickles, sliced thin, coated just right, seasoned like a pro and fried until crispy and golden. Every bite hits that perfect sweet spot between tangy and salty, with a crunch that can't be stopped. Dunk one in their house-made ranch (or Shack Sauce if you’re wild), and you're tasting snack heaven.

Pickles have long played the humble co-star in Shack burgers, but now they’re taking the lead. This new side is built for dipping, with plenty of crunch to stand alone. The best part? These fried pickles are a steal. The new side rolls out nationwide starting May 20, and prices start at just $3.99. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Shake Shack’s newly-launched summer BBQ menu.

Shake Shack might be known for their burgers and fries, but these fried pickles are making a serious bid for superstar status, so get them while they’re hot.
