Shake Shack

Who are these crazies not giving Shake Shack 5 stars?
Any vegetarians out there? The shroom burger is OUT OF THIS WORLD. I don’t like portabellos (for shame), but this thing is battered, deep friend, and stuffed with cheese. You can’t dislike that. You just can’t.
I finally got a shake there and it was amazing. Its all so good.
I had horrible service back in August so I sent in a complaint on their website and was mailed a gift card, which I very much appreciated. If I was the type of skinny little person who could eat this stuff without gaining weight, i would be here atleast twice a week.
Don’t get it to go though – does not travel well.

first timer. I got a double burger, 1 patty and the other was mushroom burger stacked on top. Pretty good. I want to try a double beef next time. Fries are good too. They are kinda small for the price I think. Maybe I’m cheap, :)

I went in to see what the what was about and found that this Shake Shack is mostly hype. The burgers were unbelievably small, the French fried were plain and bland, the service was average and there is not enough seating. In-​and Out is far better in my view.

This is my first choice for fast food. The burgers are delicious (even though sometimes it ends up getting cooked rare) and the shakes are to die for. I just tried the newest addition –Chickn shack and it was a bite of heaven. It was very juicy and crispy and the bun complemented it well. I eat chick fil a chicken sandwiches a lot and I feel that shake shack’s chicken is a great competitor. –Also it’s a few cents cheaper than chick fil a’s. Just wish the mayo wasn’t included (tastes a bit like tartar sauce), but it’s tolerable

Like the atmosphere here, but I still prefer In-​N-​Out in every way (taste, price). The shake shack burger has more choices, but the taste itself is too salty and too greasy for me.

Okay, this was my first Shake Shack experience, but I finally get the hype. I came in a wonderer and left an admirer.
Ordering was very quick and efficient. You just place your order and they give you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. I ordered a single ShackBurger just to try for my first time. I also got an order of their infamous Cheese Fries and a vanilla Shake. The food was amazing. The burger was perfectly juicy and the cheese was perfectly melty. The fries were well seasoned and the shake was just thick enough.
Every location offers different things whether it be a different Concrete flavor or a sandwich. I will definitely continue going to Shake Shack, whether it’s this location or another.
Final verdict: I honestly don’t think you can live in New York City without having a burger from Shake Shack.

Many of my friends told me this is the place to enjoy a burger, «best in the world». Well no sorry it’s definitely not!
Fries are ok, better than McDo, but it’s not «amazing».
The burger was gross, the steak was full of water/​fat, with a really bad taste. The buns were just very fat and flattened. I didn’t finish…
Pay 13 $ for this? No thanks I prefer to try somewhere else

What perplexes me about Shack Shack is why it takes so long to get a simple burger. The pretense is everything is fresh. I get that. But the fries sit under a heat lamp, and the shake melts on the counter awaiting the burger. I mean it’s not a big surprise I ordered a hamburger. That is what they serve here.
The burger is good, but not stand in a line for 20 minutes then wait 10 minutes while they cook it good.

I would watch your receipts here. Again, charged incorrectly– too often now wrongly charged for large size custard instead of small, or the incorrect concrete/​soft serve charge. This last time I said something and have never received ruder service. Believe it was the manager who came over to the worker, I explained the issue and what happened next was completely rude, unprofessional. Pretty much they laughed me right out of the store. Everyone in line saw what was going on and my fiancé who overheard that worker talking couldn’t believe it.
I don’t like to out any worker in reviews but I’m at the point where the treatment was so bad, that any place treating their customers this way should be put out there. Not to mention the soft serve portion was sloppily made with only about 6 spoonfuls and for some reason didn’t even taste as good as it usually does. This location is a block away from me, but they lost 2 ice cream addicts.
Life’s short. Treat others well and treat yourself well. If they treat you like crap here, leave the food and go elsewhere. Adiós.

Wow. I’ve never gone to one before (since I live in Canada) and it is amazing. They were very fast and very friendly. The burgers were just greasy bundles of joy. The shake was great too. I understand why there are lines going out the door for this place.
If you are in Canada, you can go to a place call «Burger Priest» as it has pretty much stolen this food and branded it as their own.

Fui com muita expectativa jantar no Shake Shack e realmente pude comprovar que o hambúrguer é simplesmente maravilhoso. Não tem como ir até Nova York e não provar.
Agora essa batata com queijo superou todas expectativas, já estou com saudades.

Delicious like all the rest. Not very much seating, or as big as the other locations. Lots of college kids and younger crowd. The staff was fast and friendly. The line moved pretty quick too.

Fast food magic.
Second time at a shake shack. I was in need for a quick bite before heading to the airport.
Got the shack burger, fries and a bottle of water.
The fries are cool and crinkled.
Burgers are juicy, made to perfection and the bun is the perfect amount of oily. The actual patty has those nice hard crisp edges. On momma!
My only gripe with this location, is the lack of seating. I understand their stand up bar concept but since people are eating full meals (sort of), more table seating is needed. Please. If you fix this, the elusive fifth star will be added!
Gotta love the old buzzer pager system. The food comes out fast but not too fast so you know it’s made fresh.
If you have a salty, oily craving — do it!
What I also enjoyed was their separate line up for drinks and shakes etc…

Las hamburguesas son lo mejor del menú junto con los milkshakes! Pero el tiempo de espera es larguísimo para un fast food además el icetea y el lemonade no valen ni el agua que se necesita para hacerlo, pero el resto genial

I thought In-​n-​out was good but this place definitely comes out on top. I went to NY for the first time few weeks ago and loved how lively, clean, and quick the place is. I started off with the famous red velvet shake and topped it off with the classic Shake burger and I’ve tried the Shake Stack burger. Man these are amazing burgers!
The Shake Stack burger comes with 1 beef patty and 1 mushroom patty and the juices from the mushroom jibe well with the beef to form the perfect flavor in your mouth.
Def check out the many locations they have in NY and you won’t be disappointed.

OMG YESSSSS
I’ve only heard about shake shack but living in the land of in n out, I never have been able to try it. Until now.
I found a great location near the Chrysler building that looks fairly new and way less congested than the other Shake Shacks in the city. They don’t have much seating, but if you wait around, you’ll most likely be able to snag a seat.
Shack burger vs in n out: the meat patty at Shake shack is definitely better. It tastes of better quality and has more flavor. I also like the cheese that SS uses. American with a mix of their cheese sauce that they drizzle over their fries. Their buns aren’t toasted like in n out’s, and the burger is of a smaller size, but packed with good burger flavor. Mmmmm!!! I usually don’t like crinkle fries, but theirs are crispy and not soggy. Sooo good!
We loved it so much, we got some in the Delta terminal at JFK and brought it in the plane for an in-​flight snack.

The perfect burger.
I love that they cook their burgers to medium without you even asking. That’s just how they do it, because that’s how a burger is meant to be cooked. If you want a tasteless slab of rubber, charred to oblivion (ie. «Well-​Done»), you have to ask for it. Very high-​quality beef, it has such a great flavor. Bun was fresh, and perfectly toasted. I can’t wait to go back again.

So, I’ve been putting off trying this place since I feel like I’ve heard a lot of people say it was over-​hyped. But we were in the need of something quick and close.
Got the shakestack and it was delish! Love the fried portabella and LOVED the gooey hot garlicy cheese sauce that oozed out of it! Pretty decent burger. That sauce makes it unique for sure.
Cheese fries… not that big of a fan of the cheese (but take this with a grain of salt, am not normally that big of a cheese fan… although this cheese def tasted more artificial than I thought was normal? Would rather have just used ketchup. Fries themselves are alright, not my favorite (fiveguys still holds that spot for now).
Milkshake was decent. Got the black and white.
All in all it definitely offered a little bit of uniqueness in the world of burgers (THAT SAUCEEE). A little pricey if you want to order more than a burger, but it’s pretty heavy and filling for sure.

I always enjoyed food from the Shake Shack. This relatively new location in midtown Manhattan makes it convenient for me. A lovely walk to this Shake Shack from my work. Even though it gets crowded during lunch hour the wait time goes by fairly quickly.
Bring a vegetarian, I order the mushroom burger. The cheese taste just delicious in this burger. This definitely qualifies as one of the best tasting burger I ever ate. The fries taste crispy and fresh.
The décor gives this place a high end look. Metallic and mixed with lights hanging from the ceiling almost gives it a celebratory feel. The wooden tables creates a classic feel. It makes the place more inviting.
Overall, I enjoyed my experience at the shake shack. I can see myself coming here more often.

This location is relatively new, it’s closer to where I live, so I’ve been 3 or 4 times now, LOVE that every time I’ve gone I’ve been able to get a seat without too much of a wait. I hate crowds, but love good food, which is difficult in Manhattan, but this location gives me an environment where I am actually able to enjoy my burger and fries without anxiety!
I always get the shack stack, with the fried portabella mushroom with cheese filling and fries, I’ve been to a handful of locations (upper west, upper east, hell’s kitchen, brooklyn, grand central, madison square park), and the quality is consistent/​remains just as good as the other locations with much longer lines.
AND I think because this location is less crowded, from the few times I’ve been, the service seems to be better — which is always a perk as I like being served by happy people — makes the overall experience better!
If you’re on the east side, I definitely recommend this location.
Food:
Shack Stack — always my go to and favorite
Cheese Burger — my friend who doesn’t like mushrooms got this and LOVED it
Fries — if you get with cheese, get the cheese on the side, otherwise it can be a little too much
Custards/​Desserts — amazingly delicious, but a little on the sweet side for me
Dog Treats — absolutely adorable and are amazing gifts!

So there was nothing really crazy about Shake Shack!
I felt it was over hyped to me when someone mentioned this place. Ok the origins of this store might have a history of starting from a cart somewhere etc. But there are many such stories associated with the restaurants. Now the food.
I felt it pretty much OK. I had a single patty burger with bacon, pickles and onions. The meat by itself was any different. Get a patty from a store de-​ice it and put it on a burger. I bet if you are blind tasting it it wouldnt be much different.
I also had strawberry shake which was good. I might not return here for the burger. But for Shake I might.

I really didn’t want to believe the hype. It’s a burger. How good could it be?
I AM NOW A BELIEVER. Wow that was tasty. Good fried meat, nice topping and great bread. They’ve really done it right.
I should have tried a shake, but next time!
