This one's by my work… perpetually busy, but the staff is nice and I can usually find a place to sit if I have to. Slower than others but the food seems to be better prepared so there you go…
I have tried a lot of different shake shack locations in NYC and this one is one of my favorites. The food is consistently out on time. It is hot and they do not skimp. Also, I love the layout.
Coming from Portland after years in Chicago (great burger towns) I was not expecting much from this place, and left wishing I had ordered a double. This place does a super good burger, and while the cheese fries were underwhelming, the burger was off the hook.
I got the Smokeshack and the blend of amazing beef patty, melted cheese, and bacon were – perfect. On my way out of town I grabbed a breakfast burger at the airport location before heading home – that good! Their commitment to sustainable and quality ingredients is nice too.
I'd been craving to try the Chicken Shack since seeing my friend eat it in the office a few times. Took about 5 months, but I finally tried it. And it was really good! Crispy outside, moist inside, yummy sauce, and just the right amount of messiness.
Can't wait to have another one!
It is hard to compare shake shack and in-n-out, partially because I have been living in the big apple for a while and shake shack was the first burger that I classified as quality.
On one hand, shake shack has got a much more sophisticated menu, even for burger itself (shroom, chicken, regular), and you can always substitute the bun with lettuce for calorie consideration (at the cost of tastiness). However it created a bit of trouble for someone like me that always have a hard time deciding what to order. In-n-out has been consistently sticking with its simple menu since its launch and seemed like people are still buying into the hype. On the other hand, shake shack did try a bit hard in terms of expansion (into the west coast), while in-n-out simply chose to stay as local chains.
For me, my personal favorite is the shroom burger from shake shack and the fries (animal style) from in-n-out. They are the types of food that I usually try to stay away from, but more often cannot help but indulge on. Super long lines during meal times, be prepared for that challenge!
Chicken Shack here last night was something I would shack up with again. I was hesitant to give it a second try after a dry-bun one I had in Brooklyn during the pilot fall 2015, but this one was glorious, with generous lettuce and pickles sufficiently drenched in creamy ranch to accompany the crunchy deliciousness of the fried chicken. A little dash of hot sauce spiced up the second half.
Also got the cheese fries and was pleasantly surprised with the real cheese flavor and texture of the dippable cheese sauce in its small plastic dish. But still, the cafeteria-style French fries are not really my thing, even when they come out piping hot.
For the finale…the shake of the week was dreamy and creamy, stumptown coffee and cardamom mmmm…
We were there for the Delta AmEx Perks freebie and were impressed with the efficiency and kindness of the staff/servers despite the overwhelming burden of Shake Shack seekers.
Overall, I was happy enough with my chicken shack that I would get it again, but neither of the other two items were amazing enough for a re-order. Service was great, though, and I think Shake Shack was delivering what it's trying to deliver.
My office buddy and I have never been to Shake Shack and felt we better go before we get ridicule and ostracized by others and went with a group to the 3rd avenue Shake Shake mainly because it's less crowed than the tourist line insanity that is going on at 8th avenue restaurant.
we got there at 12:00 PM and we beat the crowd, well if 50 people is not a crowd and we were able snagged a table, Lucky for us because by 12:30 the pace was sardines city and people were practically falling into my lap because the crowd was pushing. And they were watching us like Hawks ready to pounce on our seat if were dare leave a mere 6 inch of space anywhere
I got in line and made orders for everyone including mine's, I got a SmokeShack Burger , Shack Cargo Dog , Shack-made Lemonade and Fries to stay and they gave me a buzzer for me and my buddies to know when our food was ready.
While waiting the place is getting more packed with everyone not on line was standing by the order pickup and registers (unfortunately right by the condiments too), holding their little buzzers waiting for their food.
The crispy fries were on point! Perfectly fried, crispy, not oily,
The Shake shack burger was juicy with seared edges.
And the lemonade was nice but I should have gotten a larger size instead of regular.
.
Keep in mind that there's is some outdoor seating in the area too if the weather is nice. So order a burger and enjoy the weather if you can instead of sitting inside.
I will definitely be back, this was one of the better burgers I ever had
My favourite burger joint in the whole wide world.
My only complaint is that they're always so busy. Best to go at non-peak hours and you'll be certain to get a table.
