Stopped by Shake Shack with high expectations, fueled by some fantastic memories from their Korea locations. Unfortunately, the experience here didn't quite measure up. I tried the Shack Stack along with two limited offerings. Korean Style Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Korean BBQ Burger. While...Read More

A really great fast food place! Definitely done right and most definitely way better than any of the nearby McDonald's. The burgers taste fresh, and even though the patty is thin, it has a ton of flavor! Recommend getting a double if you prefer something...Read More

Shake Shack in the Theater District is a lively and popular spot, especially during peak hours. The place was super busy when we visited, and it took about half an hour to find a seat. Despite the wait, the experience was worth it.The burger quality...Read More

Good shake stack (mushroom & patty) burger, with good balance of veges & meat, whereas the double smoke stack was too meaty, salty & messy to eat.I would strongly recommend the shake stack!

Shake Shack is a quick counter service restaurant. It is a very busy place that doesn't have enough tables for everyone who wants one. Other customers will hover around diners who are sitting in order to snag their table when they are done.The workers at...Read More

We ordered 3 Shak burgers; the place was busy, and the wait time was around 20 min. The person in charge of orders was a funny guy who tried to keep the environment cool.Strongly recommend trying it once.

The food is good while their shakes were great, but there were 2 cons: lack of enough seats and the pricing. Wayyy too overpriced for simply decent burgers that weren't as big as their costs. The lack of seat accommodation was also blah as well,...Read More

Pathetic experience at this place. The chicken was over fried and tasted bad. It looks like they use the same oil to fry all day.Chocolate shake was below average.Also, why is the guy forcing us to tip him for a pickup order?Not coming back here.

We ordered a double smash burger, fries, cola and six chicken pieces, which came to just under 30 bucks.The burger and fries were excellent, but the chicken pieces were pretty small, although they were tasty.Gregg our server was super friendly and the restaurant is bustling.
