Shake Shack

Burgers are just as delicious as the ones in the States. Expensive, though. Location in Covent garden pretty crowded.

Yes it’s a franchise and yet another burger joint but Shake Shack has served them up well as the burgers seem more freshly prepared with crispier lettuce and softer buns than say Five Guys for example. The fries are also chunky and soft and not overly salted like many others. Simple but well done.

Love this place in NYC… everywhere. and in love with the fact that I have it in London! Excellent burgers, shakes, and fries — I just keep coming back for more! At least here the queues aren’t as long as in NYC and the terrace seating is just lovely! The coffee shake, the Shock Shack burger (for 100% carnivores)…wow!

Stumbled across this place last year when I was in London. I’d heard a lot about it from friends who visited America and we were in a rush so we decided to give it a bash. It was insanely busy but the queue moved quickly and I was so happy to see veggie burgers on the menu as both of us don’t eat meat.
The ‘Shroom burger did not disappoint. It was just the right side of greasy and the fries were crispy and salty. Yum. Great milkshakes too. We were too full to try Concrete or Custards but maybe next time. They also do a vegetarian hot dog!

As a native Californian, I must of course denounce Shake Shack for the greater In-​N-​Out Burger, but I will say that Shake Shack is better at their namesake, the milkshakes. The number of flavours available and the creamy goodness that is their shakes just add up to make the perfect shake. Their burgers are also good, just small, especially for the price you have to pay for them. I have had the ShackBurger, SmokeShake, and ‘Shroom Burger, all of which were delicious.
The cheesy fries are also amazing, and we keep coming back for them since my boyfriend is absolutely obsessed with them. The crinkle-​cut fries themselves are the perfect combination of crispiness and potatoes. Oh, and their seasonal mango lemonade is so good! It’s hard to find good, fresh lemonade made with lemons in London (mostly just that «cloudy» fizzy lemonade).
Overall, this Shake Shack is a good reminder of New York/​East Coast, and is very delicious. Just wish it were cheaper.

We were in the area for a Unilocal-​related event and looked for a place to have lunch after. I was surprised to learn this New York establishment opened locations in England. before the West Coast. No bother, though. We were excited to have a bite of our favorite East Coast burgers.
Despite the masses of people, the location seemed a bit inconspicuous and it was hard to tell were the queues started and ended from the way it is set up. Nearly all Shake Shacks I’ve been to (stateside at least) always have crowds; this one is no different. That of course is to be expected for a place as busy as Covent Garden. It’s so busy, though, that there is even a separate queue for the designated seating areas. Go with someone, so one of you can stand in the food queue and the other can wait for a proper seat inside. Otherwise, you may be stuck on the outer edges having to fight off pigeons scavenging the adjacent leftover trays as we did!
Once the food was finally ready and we dug in, I realized that this was not the same food I’d salivated over before. My burger patty was slightly dry, definitely not the level of juicy goodness familiar to many Shack Stack lovers.
I didn’t think I would have to give any Shake Shack less than four stars (since my first visit in Vegas), but a few things could have been improved. 3.5 on the food and experience.

My first experience with Shake Shack was in Boston, so when I heard they had opened in London I just had to eat there when I was visiting London.
They have a very good arrangement with ordering and then you will get a beeper thing that will flash and vibrate when your order is ready. I ordered the Shroom burger which is THE BOMB, its: crisp-​fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses, topped with lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce. And of course I had to add cheese fries and top it up with a beer. My sister ordered the Smoke Shack: Cheeseburger topped with all-​natural applewood smoked bacon, chopped cherry pepper, ShackSauce. We don’t recommend this one; it was a so so burger.
The staff here is very helpful and they carried our order from the counter to our table outside when we handed in our beeper thing. I would definitely recommend this place for burger lovers.

My thoughts on Shake Shack are: it transports me back to life in New York, and I’m willing to pay more than I otherwise would for that teleportation. It is cheaper than a return LHR — LGA flight.
Final answer.
It’s expensive for what it is given the plethora of burger options in the capital these days — I understand these complaints! But I also think:
— the Shack bun is great;
— I also have a bizarre nostalgia for crinkle cut fries even though they’re not my favourite by taste alone;
— the white and green Shack print — complete with burgers and fries and wine and mini ice cream cones — brings a smile to my face;
— the concretes (blended frozen custard with «stuff»; think, fancy McFlurry) can come with pre-​selected add-​ins (flavourful jams, chunks of St. John’s baked goods) or you can design your own. I love a small cup of custard (it’s rich enough to stop at small) with a side of peanut butter sauce. Salty (ish) sauce over a sweet creamy cup of custard? YEP.
In sum: I get the grumbles, UK, but Shake Shack? I’m glad you’re here.
Unilocal note: every week there’s a ‘special custard’ of the week. Custard calendar can be found online! Plan accordingly!

Opened the same time as Five Guys as the heavyweight American giants burger battled it off for the public’s attention.
There is only one winner for me. Shakeshack has a superior burger that really lets the meat sing with less emphasise on the toppings, but they come as a support act. It’s lovingly given out when ordered, with a nod to being photographed.
They also have crinkle cut fries unlike many places. With some fake cheese. The ice cream and shake is very good though.
It’s also housed within the beautiful Covent Garden market with some classy seating. This is a winner for me. Not my fav burger in London. But they have given everything a lot of considered thought and kept a good quality product that has translated well from the States.

Sometimes your friends are clamouring for a burger and, well, you need to satisfy them. Shake Shack in Covent Garden delivers. Three things to be aware of:
1. The queue — it’s in Covent Garden, for crying out loud, so if you’re there during peak hours expect to wait a bit.
2. Those shakes — wow.
3. Don’t be afraid to try the hot dogs if you’re not in the burger mood. They are excellent too.
I’ve eaten A LOT of burgers in my time and these are excellent and cooked-​to-​order. If anyone tells you that Inn-​N-​Out is «much better» they are more interested in pushing an agenda than being honest.
PS Cheese fries. You’ll thank me.

This was the first Shake Shack I’ve ever been to. As a California girl, I will always have a special place in my heart for In n Out. Unfortunately, Shake Shack’s burgers are not worth the wait, nor the hype. My vegetarian friend did like their veggie burger though. However, their shakes are amazing! They are frozen custard style so they’re extra thick and creamy. I love their rotating flavors. I’ve tried the vanilla, black & white, and the mint chocolate at the London location. It’s really expensive for something American, so I would save my money for something unique to London.

Comida rápida en mi opinión las hamburguesas está muy buenas los batidos también, hay personal que habla español para quien no sepa ingles, sitio amplio para sentarse y baños limpios (al menos cuando yo fui). Aconsejable

Well, i’m glad i experienced that. Twice.
I heard of Shake Shack for so long that when i heard of it i waited for my baby brother to come visit and we ran there.
You’ll notice a lot of reviews mention the big affluence at SS but i always went off hours and didn’t experience it. Might be a tip for you if you don’t like to queue.
I opted for the double cheese burger both times and the cheesy fries. The burger is pretty and tasty, the meat is good but the most amazing thing are these fries. They’re to die for, really. I’m not too much of a fries person but i’d eat the Shake Shack’s anytime. The cheese sauce that goes with it is spread on the fries which makes them go soft so i advise you ask them to give it to you separately as a dip to not lose the crunchiness. I also tried to homemade lemonade and found it to my taste.
They propose two sitting area, one in the Apple Market gallery which kind of counts as outdoors and an indoors area which is very small so you’re unlikely to find a spot.
They give you a kind of remote that goes flashing and buzzing when your food is ready. If you intend to eat on site you have time to go find a seat and wait there rather than just stand over the counter and awkwardly wait on the way of people walking through the gallery.
Finally, they have toilets ! Which i thought was too good to be true. But a staircase in the indoor sitting area will lead you to it.

Shake Shack nunca falla, siempre teniendo el tipo de local y comida que es, claro. Hamburguesas jugosas, pan delicioso y patatas ricas.
La única pega es que siiiieeeeempre está abarrotadísimo. Hay que hacer cola para pedir, es complicado encontrar mesa y tienes que esperar (15 mins?) para tu pedido pero… ¡Merece taaaaanto la pena!

I loved Shake Shack having tried it in the U.S., but I’ve gotta say, the U.K. branch just isn’t doing it for me! The seating situation is awful, with three separate areas belonging to Shake Shack dotted around Covent Garden that are not immediately obvious or easy to identify. There have staff sort of managing these areas. I say sort of as they aren’t exactly there to greet/​seat you, they just seem to floating around, clearing trays form tables, telling the odd group of people where to sit.
The way this restaurant works is you queue up, you order and pay, and are given a little remote buzzer that you take with you. When your order is ready, your buzzer will flash and you need to return to the collection point to collect your food, and bring it to your table (if you have been lucky enough to secure one!)
Last time I was here all of the tables were full with people with people who hadn’t even ordered yet and were still trying to figure out the whole process.
As this area is full of tourists, most people are not automatically familiar with how the Shake Shack system works here, or where to go/​what to do. It’s really not an intuitive system and means that there is a lot of confusion about how to order/​where you can sit/​what to do.
The food here is pretty good, but again not to the same standard as their American branches. It’s also about twice the price!

Nom Nom Nom. I’d been hearing amazing things about Shake Shack, and I was working in Covent Garden for 2 whole days with it teasing me at every stomach groan. Finally my friends caved in and we arrived at Shake Shack just before closing (almost 10:30pm and I hadn’t eaten since breakfast — yes you can imagine my delight.
I went for the original double cheese burger (KISS) and seasoned fries washed down with a nice pint of their house lager. Great tasting burger and lovely fries — I have a soft spot crinkled fries — don’t hate me I’m just weird.
I will refrain from a 5 star on this occasion as I have had better burgers and I really really really thought SS was going to demand a 5 due to how hungry I was at the time.
The set up is great here though and the order system seems to work pretty flawlessly — needed in such a busy area! Staff were friendly and chatty, even at the darker side of the watershed and all in all SS seem like a cool company.

Can a burger ever be a bad thing? I’m not sure it can be to be honest! For an after work treat myself and a few colleges decided we would visit Shake Shack in Covent Garden.
The first thing you notice about this place is that it is packed! When we arrived the queue was out the door but did seem to be going down quite quickly, we checked out the menu while queueing up and waited our turn to be served. After a five minute wait we were at the front and ready to place our order, I went for the smoke shack which was a smoked bacon burger with some fries. Both the burger and fries were excellent, fresh bread, crispy fries and great tasting patty, The only thing that let this place down for me was the small inside eating area. We needed to sit outside as it was so busy… after a day working outdoors a warm place to eat would have been pretty amazing.
Overall this was a great burger experience but given how crazy busy this place is I think they need some outdoor heaters or a larger indoor space for people to eat. If you are looking for a takeaway burger fix this would be a perfect option!

Shake, shake, shake! Shake, shake, shake… Shake your… no not tonight thank you! No bootie shaking, but plenty of burger eating instead! Woo.
Wow. So impressed with this place. I’m informed that Shake Shack comes from across the Atlantic pond and what a brilliant trip it has made.
I opted for the Shake Stack with extra bacon (no burger is complete without bacon in my eyes). The Shake Stack is a normal cheese burger topped with a ‘shroom burger and it works brilliantly! The burger was medium rare — as a burger should be — and the ‘shroom just made it have that additional juiciness which isn’t easy to find at your standard burger joint.
Also they do crinkled chips, yeah, crinklessss! Reminded me of when I was a kid and made me very happy!
Another great meal in the Covent Garden area!
Note: not a huge eating are so you could be outside but it’s so worth it!

I feel like a bit of a traitor for throwing down a three star at Shake Shack but I can’t honestly pop it into that 4 – 5 range just yet. I think part of my problem was that for the past 24 hours, I had been told multiple times, by multiple people that it was «the best!»… so when it was just kinda good, it felt a little disappointing.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good burger, but the best, it is not. I took down the burger with beef, cheese and the fried portobello mushroom. The burger was nice, and the cheese was plenty but the mushroom didn’t do it for me. I usually adore portobello mushroom, and though it was an interesting edition, it didn’t seem to fit with the cheddar/​beef combo. It wasn’t anything particularly special.
However, they have root beer floats, so they must be awesome and I will likely try them again. I think i’d stick to a classic cheese/​bacon combo next time around.
The one HUGE tip of the hat? These folks know how to work through a crowd efficiently! High fives all around to the service team.

Un endroit super! L’emplacement est très agréable.
Le service est un peu long. Le personnel est très gentil, serviable.
Les frites sont extra avec le fromage dessus hum un vrai régal. Le burger aussi est bon. Les plats sont généreux.
Je retournerai sans hésiter

Hum Shake Shack… C’est bon, c’est généreux, ça fond, les frites sont délicieuses, il y a du choix… A découvrir de toute urgence si ce n’est pas déjà fait !

It’s been years since i’ve been to a shake shack… at least 5 years if not longer. When shake shack opened up in london, the nostalgic part of me wanted to give it a visit, but the long lines in covent garden was daunting. Finally there came a day on a wet october afternoon at around 3pm when the line was palatable, hopefully like their burger that i remembered.
My bf opted for the smokeshack and their shack beer, but their shackbeer was out and he had to go for the meantime. I got their regular cheeseburger with salted apple frozen custard. It was around 8 quid for a burger and the burgers are tiny. Although delicious, I walked away feeling really unsatisfied. Also their pickles are not the same as the ones in NYC — way too sharp.
The frozen custard was pretty much flavourless.
Definitely not my go-​to place for burgers in London. Wouldn’t come back unless i become a gazillionaire.

Très loin de la propreté des Shake Shacks New Yorkais, cet endroit est petit et très mal organisé. Les sandwichs et les frites sont très bons mais très chers 75 € à 4 pour sandwich+frite+boisson (l’iced tea est absolument deguelasse)

I first saw Shake Shack on an instagram feed. I was drawn to her immediately. There was something about her demeanor that made her so irresistible. She was seductive, and she knew it.
Maybe it’s the way she dresses. A sliver of her buns shows through the burger wrapping, and I could almost felt how fluffy it is with my eyes. Her tomatoes has a healthy blush, giving her a pretty face too. And oh lord, the meat. The sauce glistens on her skin, and several drops slowly trickles down. She blankets her goodies with a slice of melting cheese, revealing just enough to induce me even further. Though I was only looking through photos, I noticed that I was salivating with my tongue slightly out, ready to taste her for myself.
I finally agreed to meet her at Covent Garden in London. Under one of the most serene locations, I would be able to enjoy Shake Shack while admiring the architecture around us. It did not bother me that Shake Shack has been around a few times. I’ve seen her pictures of passion with @instafoodforreal, @bestburgers_london, and @therealJackinTheBox, and if anything, it just made me want her more. I was more bothered about how my main squeeze would feel, but I convinced myself that In-​N-​Out would not mind me indulging in a side chick from time to time.
Shake shack and I found a seat under the roofs of the garden. First thing that I noticed was that she was high maintenance. Taking her out with her entourage of a Milkshake and a side of Cheese Fries costed close to 15 pounds. And that’s only for one slice of patty. I would have had to shell out if I wanted her to show both slices.
Oh, but Shake Shack was delicious. Her proportions are perfect. She was not voluptuous, nor does she try to be. She was a casual sexy, but with a touch of class. She kept it at a perfect medium rare, and made sure that you didn’t forget her buns complemented the whole experience. As a kicker, she would invite the milkshake to help you wash down the whole experience. Even when I was finished, I was left wanting more.
But the reality was that Shake Shack was expensive. At a cost of 15 pounds, it was unrealistic for me to commit to a relationship. I packed my bags and headed home to my true love. Though I have my share of burger escapades, In N Out will always be my true love.

Shake Shack… how long I have wanted to visit thee. I was even in New York but not fully compus mentis when I visited and got a hot dog instead. What was I thinking? Fast forward exactly (to the week) two years and I’m transported to Covent Garden in central London. Again not fully compus mentis but this time determined to get the burger I have coveted for several years.
After being let-​down by the Five Guys invasion of Glasgow (I went there three times on my US visit) in terms of both quality and especially price, perhaps as I have nothing to compare against Shake Shack UK was already at an advantage. However, from when I took my first bite of the Double Smoke Shack I knew I was in burger heaven. The bun held the greasy mess of cheese, prime beef patty and perfectly cooked bacon impeccably. There wasn’t a great amount of sauce on the burger but the nearby ketchup and mustard dispenser (plus tabasco) let me sauce it right up. I didn’t come across one piece of gristle which was very welcome.
Even the crinkly fries which I thought didn’t looked great (you can buy the same brand in Costco for around £3 for 2.5kg… the profit margin on these must be incredible) were actually super crispy and well smothered in tasty tasty cheese sauce.
You do pay for the pleasure however, my bill was almost £15 just for one burger and one portion of fries. Will I be back? Most definitely.

La perfection…
Le pain. La viande. La sauce. Les frites. Tout est parfait. Un de mes arrêts incoutournables à chaque séjour londonien !

Je n’ai entendu que du bien de Shake Shack, il fallait que je teste une fois sur Londres et c’est fait.
Mon avis est assez mitigé quand même.
L’emplacement sur Covent Garden est très remarqué, une queue super longue, même à 17h.
Pour ma part, j’y suis allé un lundi, à 11h45 environs, personne en caisse, mais presque 15 minutes d’attente quand même avant que notre télécommande vibre.
J’ai pris un smockshack, 2 cheeseburger, 2 frites (dont une avec du cheddar) et 2 ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ (marrant, cette boisson au Cambodge, c’est avec de l’alcool, enfin bref) pour un total de presque 30 livres, un peu cher tout de même.
1er constat :
Je me suis fait avoir pour les cheeseburger, je n’avais pas fait attention qu’il fallait demander pour avoir un burger complet (salade, tomate, pickles et oignons). Donc, j’ai eu 2 burgers pas vraiment terrible et sans sauce (Pour info, c’est 1 livre la sauce sur le cheese, 2 pour avoir un morceau de bacon).
2ème constat :
Les burgers simple sont très petit.
Mon avis général est vraiment très mitigé, le smockshack était excellent, quoique trop petit en simple, tenait très bien dans la main, mais il y a le tarif, très prohibitif qui gâche tout.

Après avoir test le Five Guys de Miami, In n Out de San Francisco et L. A et lu les comparatifs avec Shake Shack des states, j’ai profité de mon séjour a Londres pour test FG et SS.
Grosse déconvenue… L’endroit est super bien situé en plein Covent Garden, mais l’attente est assez longue, surtout pour s’assoir…
J’ai pris un double cheese classique avec des frites. Un gout de fast food de base, accentué par le fromage. Les legumes sont frais (salade tomate cornichons) mais tomate et cornichons sont trop epais et du coup on se perd gustativement dedans… La viande était rosée, pour un burger ça né passé pas. Le pain n’est pas top, meme pas sur qu il soit cuit dans le beurre comme a NYC.
Meilleur qu un Quick ou McDo mais en dessous d’un Burger King et loiiin du Five Guys de Londres. Ma copine a fait le même constat: fast food. 10 pounds le burger de cette qualité est cher payé…
P.S: mon meilleur pote et moi avons eu bcp de mal a digérer, sans faire de dessin, même plusieurs jours après… Ma copine elle n’a pas eu de pbm a ce niveau.
En attendant de test celui de NYC. Je déconseille fortement.

* Hey ! J’ai eu l’occasion pour la 1ère fois d’y allé hier soir, et j’ai été ravis des frites avec le fromage, mais un peu déçu du cheeseburger et du hot-​dog qui n’avait rien d’exceptionnel. La «salle «qui fait office d’endroit «chaud «était fort bruyante et il faisait frais.
Donc je recommanderais ce restaurant pour l’été quand il fait chaud, profiter de la terrasse doit être cool, cependant je maintiens le fait que les 2 sandwichs n’avait rien de grandiose.
À faire au moins une fois ou de temps à autres !

Experiência fabulosa. sem palavras para descrever esse lugar maravilhoso para lanchar.
Quem gosta de cachorro quente, hamburguer e batata não pode deixar de conhecer ao vir aqui em londres. muito muito boaa a experiência.

Increible!!! Ha superado todas mis expectativas!!! Hay que hacer mucha cola normalmente, pero vale la pena… está TAN buena que no te lo crees!!! Nos costó 15£ por persona hamburguesa doble, patatas, bebida y helado. Tenía miedo a que me decepcionara, pero ha superado mis expectativas!

Des hamburgers vraiment délicieux, très frais et originaux. Le temps d’attente risqué d’être long si vous prenez un milkshake (45 minutes !) mais il était très bon et valait le coup. Les frites au fromage sont un délice, inoubliable !
Rien a redire sur cet endroit, il faut le tester !

Tenia ganas de ir ya que había leído y oído muchas cosas buenas de este sitio o por lo menos de esta cadena, porque es verdad que todos los comentarios que leí era sobre los locales de Estados Unidos. La hamburguesa me decepciono bastante, no esta mala pero no es lo que esperas cuando lees que es la mejor hamburguesa. Pedí una shack burger con extra de bacon y unas patatas con queso, todo me costo unas 10 libras. He de decir que las patatas con la salsa de queso me gustaron bastante, sin duda lo mejor. Si vuelvo es por las patatas pero no creo que repita.

Aufgrund Empfehlung und vielen guten reviews auf Unilocal sind wir in dieses Burger lokal. Gefallen hat’s mir sehr gut, auch wenn das System gewöhnungsbedürftig ist. Irgendwie halb Restaurant halb Fast Food. Das Essen wird an der Theke bestellt, wenn man pech hat steht man zum Teil lange an. Danach gilt es einen Tisch zu organisieren, hier gilt «please wait to be seated». Wenn der Pieper, den man bei der Bestellung erhält losgeht, holt man sich das Essen ab.
Der Burger und auch die Fries waren sehr gut und auch der Preis völlig in Ordnung.
Cool ist vor allem die location im Covent garden. Es hat auch Sitzplätze mitten in der Halle — sehr schön.

Mais OUI Shake Shack c’est la vie !
Enfin, je suis quand même bien contente que cette chaine d’existe pas à Lille, sinon j’y serais beaucoup trop souvent !
J’ai choisi le Cheeseburger, avec des frites et une grande bière allemande ! A se damner ! Mention spéciale pour les frites en forme de «ZZZZ» un peut trop salées peut être mais tellement croustillantes ! Rien qu’en écrivant ça (il n’est que 16h30) je m’en ferais bien une petite portion pour le goûter ! Je vous dis, heureusement qu’on a pas ça ici !!!
J’ai été assez impressionnée par le succès du lieu, il y a régulièrement une queue de plusieurs personnes (et ce à n’importe quel moment de la journée) qui attendent pour passer commande ! Shake Shack rend addict, j’en suis convaincue !
Donc une excellente adresse pour qui a envie de junk food, mais avec de bons produits dans un quartier quand même upra cool: Covent Garden !
I’ll Be Back !

Ça c’est du burger.
Rien de plus.
Le type de burger qu’on s’attend a trouver au McDo (comprenez pas énorme, bien tassé, au bun luisant et sans artifices inutiles) mais cette fois ci avec des ingrédients VRAIMENT de qualité (je tiens à préciser que si je né mange JAMAIS au MCdo, ce n’est pas par snobisme, car j’aime leurs burgers, mais parce que j’ai l’impression de polluer mon organisme avec un milliard de trucs plus mauvais les uns que les autres. Et je déteste né pas savoir d’où vient ce que je mange)
Je n’avais pas faim donc je me suis limitée à un cheeseburger et j’ai gouté 2,3 frites dans l’assiette de ma copine. Le cheeseburger envoie du lourd! Gras mais pas trop (pas écoeurant), un steak (boeuf d’Angus) croustillant et parfaitement cuit, pas trop épais, un bun frais et bien chewy, une tranche de fromage parfaite, et le tour est joué.
Ça se mange facilement à une main, dans la rue, et pour moi c’est ça un bon burger! Un burger simple, plein de goût, qu’on peut manger facilement sur le go.
Donc un gros oui à Shake Shack!

Je rêvais tellement de goûter au burger de Shake Shack, celui de New York plus précisément après avoir regardé de superbes photos sur les blogs et avoir entendu tant de louanges à leur propos. J’appréhendais beaucoup parce que à chaque fois qu’il y a autant de bons avis pour un restaurant, mes attentes deviennent plus grandes et je finis souvent déçue. Shake Shack n’y a pas échappé.
Le lieu est super bien situé à Covent Garden, tout est propre et vous avez des places assises à l’intérieur et également à l’exterieur. Je privilégie l’extérieur car vous pouvez apprécier l’ambiance du lieu, avec les musiciens qui jouent en bas. Le personnel était sympathique et m’ont aidé avec ma (trop lourde) valise. On commande au comptoir et on vous remets un buzzer qui se met à vibrer lorsque tout est prêt.
Contrairement à l’interminable queue à New York, le Shake Shack de Londres n’est pas très rempli un dimanche midi et je n’ai même pas eu à faire la queue.
J’ai eu la mauvaise idée de prendre des frites agrémentées d’une sauce au cheddar qui rendait le tout légèrement écoeurant mais les rares frites que j’ai réussi à sauver de cette sauce toute grasse étaient bonnes et croustillantes comme il faut. Le burger était bon sans plus. Les ingrédients étaient frais, rien à voir avec la salade et la tomate du Mcdo, la viande était tendre mais rien qui justifie son prix (£5 pour un tout petit burger).
A goûter une fois dans sa vie mais je né reviendrai pas car je trouve les prix excessifs pour la quantité alors que les prix sont identiques aux US mais en $…
I heard so many good things about Shake Shack, especially the one in New York where the queue is impressive. I think that is a problem to me because it makes my expectations higher and I often end up disappointed. Once again, it happened with Shake Shack.
First the location couldn’t be better. I love Covent Garden and they have seats inside and outside. Everything was clean and staff were so nice and help me with my luggages (yes I stopped at Covent just for Shake Shack as I was supposed to take a train to Brighton).
I went there a Sunday and lucky was I because there was no queue at all. Off course I knew what I was going to order (thanks to the menu on the website) and I got the shake burger (£5) and the cheese fries (£3.5), which was a huge mistake. I’m not used to add extra cheese on food so it makes my fries very heavy. But I’m convinced that the fries are good. Without the extra cheese. The burger was good and the ingredients were fresh, nothing compared to Mcdonald’s but honestly it is not worth its price.
Sorry Shake Shack but I expected better. 3 stars for you !
