We visited the Shake Shack just off Fifth Avenue and also near Central Park. Fifth Avenue was much busier and we queued for around 35 mins. Central Park Shack was only about a 15 min queue. Burgers at both were very good and great value for money. Vanilla shake was excellent, as were the fries. Definitely worth a visit for...

My husband and I finally made it to the Shake Shack! We discovered this restaurant last summer & have been eager to try it ever since. The other night we wanted something to eat at 10pm & everything else (besides the regular fast food chains) seemed to be closed (on Long Island). So, we decided to venture into the city...

Went to the one in the theater district for lunch on a Saturday. Long line, lots of people. Good tasting burger but probably not worth all the hassle.

I can't understand why this place isn't rated higher. Best burger hands down. When I first saw the lines waiting to buy a burger I thought how good can it be?....... Why didn't I just get in line? Go and get a burger from here and if you have written a negative review about shake shack then go and try...

Went here based on reviews thinking i was going to experience some incredible burger; instead got a slightly better than fast food burger. Really absolutely nothing special, and kind of gross if you actually like a proper burger with fresh produce. The location is very nice, and great to have a burger and beer looking over the art - which...

My family ran into it by mistake after walking back from the Museum of Natural History. We were starving and needed the restroom so we decided to stop there and check it out. It is by far the best tasting cheeseburgers and cheesy fries that we have EVER tasted. The staff was very nice and helpful. It can get pretty...

I visited NYC in January. I come from Norway and I'm really not that big of a fan of burgers. But at shake shack they had the best ones. Good meat, good dressing, etc. And good service.

I have lived in NYC for 3 years. This is a great place for cheeseburger lovers, and I have been to many of the top rated cheeseburger places. You need to factor in the fact that this is casual food. Not really a restaurant. More like a hamburger stand with a few tables. Also, get in your mind that this...
