Shake Shack
“Clean hot dog, fries and beer across the street from our hotel what more can I ask for?”

Shake Shack is definitely one of the best burgers in the country, and the ability to have one in the airport is awesome! Same quality, quick service and hot food is always a plus!
Decided to give this place a try! Shake Shack has been on my to try list for awhile! Finally being in the city, I knew I couldn't miss out.
I'm definitely going to say believe the hype! It is good! The burger is quite delicious and looks pretty small but it is actually quite filling! I couldn't even finish my fries and I didn't eat anything prior to that, that day. I was delighted by the fresh taste! I got their special of the week , the cookies and cream shake and it tasted like cookies and cream! It was so rich and thick! It tasted just like that flavor!!! I couldn't finish it but that was because I was stuffed from the burger and fries! Since this location was in Times Square, it was quite packed and it was very hard to find a seat! You definitely have to scout out a seat and I went at 3:30 pm which wasn't even lunch time. So I believe they do need more seats in that particular location.
I recommend checking out shake shack!
Shake Shack is an okay choice if you're nearby. We were encouraged to give it a try and I can say that their mushroom burger is really amazing, however the rest of the experience falls flat. I'm inclined to believe that this is partly due to the Times Square proximity this location resulting in an abundance of traffic with lines forming past the building. In their defense, the lines do move rather quickly and staff members are plentiful, however like almost everything else in New York City, space is limited, so plan on taking your food to go if you're dining at peak times. Shake Shack specializes in burgers, fries and shakes. The staff is very friendly, even cracking jokes with us at 10pm.
The food is okay, a definite step up from Burger King or McDonald's, but not anything particularly special. I'd dare to say that your town's local burger spot could easily contend with Shake Shack. Our order was accurate and food was okay. I'd be willing to give another Shake Shack location a try, probably a quieter one.
Such a clean large location in the Theater District.
Long crazy lines because of the location. Food takes a bit but not super slow. Hard to find tables during meal times.
Shack Stack – $9.59 – TINY AF! But the best burger they have on their menu. The shroom patty adds a gooey cheesy burst with mushrooms.
Cheese Fries – $3.99 – Love the old school crinkle cut fries. Cheese is melty. They are garbage compared to animal style fries though.
Loved this place. Honestly for the price this is the best you'll get. A huge fan go their shroom burger. I tried the salted caramel shake and it's amazing but then again I love caramel anything. I usually don't like chain restaurants but this place is amazing.
I've been hearing soooo much about Shake Shack. "Oh you have to try it, it's wayyy better then In and Out burger" Blah blah blah.
So I've been super stoked to try Shake Shack! We waited in the long line and got a Shackburger and Smokeshack with fries and a peanut butter shake. Okay the taste is definitely good for these burgers! The fries reminded me of being in elementary school where you have those crinkly fries, which were good. And the peanut butter shake is great!
But why are the portions so small???? I figured I just needed one patty in my burger and I was content, but not full. For the amount you pay it's not worth it, I believe we paid about $22. Isn't fast food supposed to be cheaper cuz dayum that's expensive!
I've tried the hype. I have been here and ate the food. No knocking the food, it tastes great. But because of the price I'm not sure if I'd come back.
Yet another Shake Shack I've visited … not necessarily by choice, but I digress.
This review is really 3.5 stars … Overall I give the food 4 stars and the molasses service combined with the sometimes unruly guests due to the limited seating capacity a total of 3 stars.
The food itself is what you'd expect. The burgers are juicy, the fries are solid and the new chicken sandwich is pretty delish. I like it pretty much the same as a Chick fil A sandwich …
The issue for me here is how insanely slow the service is, even for a Shake Shack. Since things are made to order I definitely expect a decent wait for my food, but on multiple occasions I've had to deal with folks literally forgetting my order. On top of that the staff isn't exactly as fast/sharp as I've seen in other locations and the high volume of people in this location is seriously annoying. It gets too crowded by a certain point due to the huge number of people waiting inside for their food and the spillover goes into the seating area, which seems to be exacerbated by the generally slow service here.
I'd say if you're dying for Shake Shack, go to another location.
I don't see the big deal. Maybe it's the only burger place in the area? Because take this burger anywhere in Texas or Oklahoma and it would certainly not be the best in town. It was fine, but I don't get the crazy lines, because I can think of about 50 better burgers. The fries were mediocre, just not top quality. If you are visiting from out of town skip the crowd and go somewhere else.
