burgers are amazing, shakes are amazing, cheese fries are amazing. the space is not, definitely do take out , finding a seat (especially in the winter months) is near impossible during peak hour.

Cel Torres

Shack burger , fries , and the Fair Trade shake = a good time. The location is great since you can eat indoors or outside and the staff is quick and efficient

Too bad today was the last day for the Oktoberfest special menu but just keep in mind: If you want to clog your arteries in the most beautiful way possible, order the Shaktoberfest Brat Burger .

Jeff Mack

I love this Shake shack because it has the shortest line of them all. They also have indoor and outdoor seating .

Jeffrey

I have found the most mythical item at Shake Shack: no line . This Shack is usually crowded , but I've never seen more than a 5 min line . Great public outdoor patio .

Finally got the chicken sandwich and was quite delicious, hot and crunchy, plenty of sauce and full of flavour!!! Def better than your hate-filled Chick-fil-a chicken sandwiches

If people are just sitting at tables on their phones, you can ask them to get up. It's always packed and people are always waiting for tables. This isn't the place to sit and text.

Shack Burger w/ pickles is my go to though always nice to also have a few bites of the Smoke Shack Burger . Crinkle cuts when well done are Nic and crunchy.

Katrina Peralta

If you are going to visit a Shake Shack, this is your best bet. The line usually isn't crazy long and there's a nice courtyard area you can sit and eat at. A good option before/after visiting the Met.

George Lee

I loved the burgers and milkshakes . Fries are also a good choice. Actually wasn't that into the mushroom in the burger .

Dew Citi

Best burger restaurant I have ever been to. The service is great and the food is awesome, and did I mention that the food is awesome.

Javier Perlado Useros

Great burgers and fries . If u're looking for an authentic experience, come to this place. Great after visiting MET Museum or MoMA

Marina Volkova

Oh my god! Every other veggi burger i tried befor was nothing comparing to Shake Shack Shroom Burger . Absolute yaam!! Also grilled cheese with everything is awesome!!

Paddy

Nicest fast food cheeseburger in town . Tasty shakes (I had strawberry ) and delicious salted caramel frozen custard . Definitely recommended!

s

man I absolutely love shake shack. they never disappoint, whether you’re going for a daytime meal or a nighttime craving, they always got your back (and your tummy) 10/10 would recommend

Erica Taylor

This location doesn't usually have a long line . You do have to wait a bit for your food but it's worth it and I love the outdoor public space.

Maryam Aly

The outside seating is nice even on a chilly day because it's shielded from the wind.

Stuart Coates

Shake Shack runs a tight ship, especially at this location. The fries are forgettable, the burgers hit the spot, and the shakes are really where it's at. Go figure.

Kendra Borowski

Food and service here are fantastic like all Shake Shacks. Get takeout though - too cramped / not enough seating when it's raining or cold out.

Village Voice

Smoke Shack Burger is one not to miss. Build your burger with bacon and check out their special chocolate shake .

Samira Majd

The service is really smooth and efficient + the smokey burgers are yuuum as always!

New York Habitat

The location is what makes this Shake Shack great. If there's no dining room inside, get your food to-go and devour it on a bench in nearby Central Park .

Burgered

One if the best burgers you'll ever have. Dress it up anyway you want, you can't go wrong.

Avoid during the weekend lunch time. Lots of groups come after museum tour and their hyper kids make such a chaotic place.

Blue Man City Man

From what I know, who doesn't like this awesome burgers and crinkle cut fries . Also delicious shakes and hot dogs !

Alicia

Awesome customer service, food's normally quick and always hot. I just hate that it's always crowded and there's hardly any seats. ????

Nick West

Get the Shack Stack (it's a cheese burger w a stuffed mushroom - sooo much cheese ), get cheese fries , and the Shackmeister brew is pretty good too. Their shakes are delicious.

Adam McCallister

The 'shroom burger is really good. It has crispy mushrooms and cheese going on the inside.

Carlos Pacheco

Best burgers I have ever had, nothing beats it. There's always a line up but it usually goes pretty fast. Don't forget to bring you dog since they have a doggy menu!

Jenn Zhang

best lower end burger ever. shack sauce on ALL the things. crispy crinkle fries ; UES also has the shortest lines with the most seating!

Virginie Liao

No lines here. There's indoor and outdoor seating . Love their good ol' Shack burger .

Todd Hamilton

Lots of wannabes, but still my favorite burger in the City . Underrated are the Shack Stack and the hotdogs

Philip Harper

Now the upper east side has a shake shack!!! The location is great next to an HSBC in case you got broke friends. They have complimentatry dog parking , and water too! Seating inside is large and there

Adam Gorsline

Have to order a shake . You can't go to shake shack and not order a shake . Cheese fries are good too. Burgers tasty as well . Perfect meal. Skip other fast food , come here.

Alexanne Laplante

The ‘shroom burger is always a classic for me, I come eat one every time I’m in NYC!

Elizabeth Lee

Yummy juicy burgers with crispy , crunchy fries . Their concrete milkshake was the bomb too.

Kiera Ash

Had the cheese covered fries , reg hamburger with a peanut shake . Great service and the sauce on these things are to die for.

Revital Hacham

Love the burgers - but the hotdogs are just as excellent and definitely worth a try...

Nia

There are Shake Shacks hand cut fries . I liked the crinkle cut thicker version they got rid of. I asked if they changes the fries , yes. I hope the other one will be back by popular demand.

Jennifer Lee

the featured mix-in this month is roasted apples , which goes perrrfectly with the vanilla custard . hail autumn!!!

Carly Heitlinger

The portobello mushroom burger is amazing! Don't walk out without getting a shake !

Elizabeth Brim

I am always thankful when my burger-eating companions suggest Shake Shack. The veggie burger is unreal -- think juicy, perfectly crisped portabello shroom hugged with melty, tangy cheese .

Tash Concepcion

The new chicken sandwich is excellent and worth a try.

The Upper East Side location of our favorite New York burger chain.

Lots of seating space outside when it's warm and dry. Double smoke shack , cheese fries , chocolate milkshake . Every single time.
