Shake Shack
“So, I didn't want to feel the food coma later, so I got a shack burger, fries, and an Arnold Palmer.”
“Excited enough to wander over the Madison Square Park location to get a melon shake.”
“Concretes are the frozen custard shakes mixed with added mix-ins like bacon peanut brittle from NY's own Redhead.”

Great location, right next to Central Park. Perfect spot to grab a burger and take a stroll at the park after.
Long crazy lines because of the park and museum. Food did come out quicker then I expected. Had a hard time grabbing a table, people were just sitting to rest and not eating at all.
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.
Beer, 16 oz – $5.69 – Beer was cold and crisp. Not a bad price. Great with the burger.
All I can say is, wow. There's something in the sauce, I swear. It makes it so good. People like to compare In N Out (I'm from the west coast) and Shake Shack but you honestly can't compare the two since they're so different. I got the Chicken and original with crinkle fries and they were so good. I almost wanted to order more but refrained so I could save room for more food later. Their shakes are alright, nothing special. Got a chocolate shake with malt and I really couldn't taste much malt… although I did get some in some sporadic chunks but otherwise, they don't give you that much; hardly seems worthwhile. Heard they have a place in LA, whenever I'm in that area, I'll definitely grab me some shake shack!
My son's favorite burger joint. This location is just blocks away from his honors college building. Heard often from him that it is a busy branch. Swing by today with girlfriends after a shopping escape who have never tried SS. Where on earth these two lives? Lol!
Order Line is up to the door. Heard that today was a little bit slow which can be true as I saw a wait line set up outside the store. Placing order did not take long, order came for about 10 minutes which were just in time my girlfriends just took over a table for us ( you have to plan your dining accordingly in this place). I was surprised that even the to go order has been served in a take-out bag. It was reasonable, the foods are easier to carry than on a tray. Additional seating downstairs but it is with a good Columbus Ave view if you stay on the top floor. People are in and out, come and go mode , definitely here for the famous burger.
The food has surpassed to my ladies expectations. We ordered the shroom burger, shake stack, shack burger and different flavor shakes. It is a little bit pricey for them but they find the burger taste unbelievably delicious. The shakes were a surprised for them, they have ordered the full ride- added malt and cream on it.
The location is perfect stop by place for museum and CP guests. I will definitely come abck.
Perfect place to stop in for some delicious food if you are near Central Park or the Natural History Museum! We went around 3pm and the line was around the corner. The wait was pretty significant but the burger was so yummy I was okay with it. The shakes are nothing to write home about but those lil burgers are wonderful! Can't wait to go back.
Is it worth the hype, you ask?? YES, it IS! I heard all the hype before our NYC vacation and was skeptical. We actually did not plan to eat here because most places that are hyped up so much are usually disappointing. But we happened to pass by this place right around lunch time while walking around our own tour of the city one day, and decided to wait in the long line. The wait wasn't as bad as I expected and the burger was mouthwateringly (probably not a word?) good!! It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The burgers are not giant, but tasty. The accompanying fries are equally delicious. Unfortunately, we didn't get shakes so I can't review those. But, judging by the tastiness of the burgers, I would say the shakes would be a good bet. If you're in NY, try to go if you can. Judge the hype for yourself. It's just a damn good burger.
Decent burgers, but the wait time is a bit ridiculous. In the middle of the day, it was absolutely packed. We placed our order pretty quickly, but then our buzzer didn't go off for another 15-20 minutes.
Portabello burger: very delicious; as satisfying as a regular burger.
Frozen custard: basically ice cream, so I'm not sure what all the hype is about.
Fries: not as good as In-N-Out's by a long shot (my gold standard); but they are decent crinkle cuts.
The shake was quite delicious! As part of a fundraiser for child hunger, a donation results in a $2 shake coupon. A perfect late night snack.
If you're from the west coast and love in n out, I'll apologize in advance. I don't agree…I like shake shack better!
They use a potato bun that is nice and juicy. Also don't forget to get the shack sauce!! That is also key.
My parents love the shroom burger with the exploding cheese. It's a great option for vegetarians!
Sometimes they have the Shake leister which is a burger with fried shallots. They don't always have it but when they do, don't forget to try it!
This Shake Shack is one of the better ones, in my opinion. The only annoying thing is the people who think they can save like 6 seats – gtfoh. I take my burger and fries to go and sit in the park bench across the street.
Just avoid that lunch and after work/school rush!
