Black Shack Burger
“Definitely recommend this place and would put it up there with Shake Shack and Burger Joint as one of the better places in the city.”
“Also, any place with Bosco chocolate soda on fountain gets a good review from me…”
“Excellent burger, lots of flavor, juicy, and the horseradish sauce was a good compliment.”

Wow! So good!
The place looks a bit like a bar and a bit like those cafeteria-type places where you order food at when you go to Epcot Center. The vibe is totally laid back! They play awesome music – I thought it was my ipod – The Strokes, The Killers, Spoon, etc.
They also have lots of alcoholic options in cans.
I ordered the Western Burger with cheese and it was honestly one of the best burgers I have had almost anywhere!
I will definitely return because it's right near my job.
I recommend the western burger for a slammin' meal! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I'll definitely eat here again! Thank you!
We decided to stop at Black Shack on our way out of the city to grab a quick lunch, and it was a good decision. The service was very friendly and they had several vegetarian options. Between us we tried a tofu sandwich, a western tofu sandwich, and a mozzarella sandwich, along with some fries, and everything was good. They also have good iced tea and a diverse selection of old-school sodas, including BOSCO. And they serve Sir Kensington ketchup, to boot! Definitely a cool place.
Beef burger here is pathetic. It's thin, dry, overcooked, and not flavorful at all. I probably had 1 teaspoon of BBQ sauce on my patty and wasn't pleased. The portion itself was small, like the size of my palm. I originally asked for my burger to be wrapped in lettuce, but they couldn't do that. Wouldn't recommend the beef burger.
The sweet potato fries were good, though. Friend said the chicken was good.
Eat those.
Went here for lunch with some coworkers and got the Chicken Sandwich for about $8.
Good tasting sandwich but nothing above the norm. I do love how they stack the chicken on in two or even three layers. I'm a fiend for protein, so obviously this made me happy. I also appreciate how clean this was (not greasy).
This place is known for their burgers so will try that next time. Just wanted to be a little healthier on my first visit.
Amazing food! I always get the Black Shack burger and it never disappoints, thumbs up!!
Just around the corner from our hotel in Murray Hill we found Black Shack Burger for a late dinner during our recent stay in NYC. Black Shack sits a half story underground and it really has a basement feel to it. The somewhat limited menu is posted above the ordering counter. After placing your order you can choose from a dozen or so booths and tables and your food will be delivered when it is ready.
I went with the western chicken sandwich with crispy onions, pickles, and BBQ sauce ($7). The chicken was cooked perfectly and the toppings went well together. The BBQ sauce was especially good and at least appeared to be made from scratch.
My wife tried the special of the day, pulled pork sandwich. This was really good and came loaded with coleslaw just the way I like it. The pork was well cooked and again the sauce was very nice. We also shared an order of fries ($2.50) and onion rings ($3). The onion rings were better than the fries, which I think should be skipped. Maybe the sweet potato fries would be a better choice?
There is no special kids menu so our two youngins split one regular hamburger and both seemed to enjoy it ($6.25). They liked that it wasn't too thick and was cooked to a perfect medium temperature. Overall we had a nice dinner at Black Shack Burger.
The burger is pretty solid but nothing to write home about. It's a pretty good burger but no Shake Shack and nowhere close to a gourmet burger. The meat was a tad overdone, the other additives weren't that fresh. After like ten minutes, you don't even remember the taste anymore. But it's aiight.
The Cajun fries though are some serious shit. They are perfect and salty and delicious. You will not regret getting those greasy sticks of joy.
