The menu features good Chicago red hots, eggy (or perhaps just yolky) frozen custard , salty crinkle-cut fries , and best of all, wonderful burgers , reputedly ground from a combo of brisket and sirloin . Read more

This burger joint loves pups so much, they get their own special menu. We recommend the Pooch-ini, a sweet treat made with vanilla custard , peanut-butter sauce and ShackBurger biscuits . Read more

Need I say more?! Absolutely love shake shack! Always there for me rain or shine. Provides the ultimate comfort, I'm emotionally attached to this place. Just keep in mind you DO have to sit outside

The original Shake Shack reborn in the original location. Great burgers , amazing shakes . Line can be long but it moves along well enough. On a nice day in NYC it doesn't get much better than this.

You gotta hit a shake shack. If you can, go for the original in Madison Square park , but they have locations all over. Don't sleep on the ChickenShack. I like it with a Vanilla shake .

Kayleigh Harrington

If you've had the burger before, give the Chick'N Shack a try. You won't be disappointed. Round things out with cheese fries (cheese on the side) and a shandy (house beer + fresh lemonade ).

Emily Wilson

People love to hate on the crinkle fries but they're honestly great. Crinkle fries define shake shack. Please shake shack, never let them go again!

As always the prices are very steep, but i had the shake-cago dog today to be different and besides the size it didnt let me down! For a more detailed review on this dog go to my yelp page Erica f

I'm going to write one of the most controversial statements that has ever published on this little app we call Foursquare... the Chick'n shack is better than the OG burger . There, I said it. Fight me!

The Vienna beef dog comes fully loaded with toppings, such as pickled green sport peppers and relish from Lower East Side pickle-maker Rick’s Picks. Read more

Very tasty burgers , very cheap as they are smaller than the normal massive american portions. Try the cheesy fries ! Frozen custard is like adult ice cream - not too sweet. Milkshakes perfect too!

10 yr-old Danny Meyer burger & shake chain has my #2 fave burger - Single Shack Burger w/ Pat LaFreida's 100% all-natural Angus beef...altho' their fries top my #1 fave In-N-Out's on the W coast.

I've lived in N.Y. for six years, but can't get enough of the touristy Shake Shack. The best value burger in the city . My order: double burger with bacon , lettuce, tomato , + shake shack sauce 😋

Paige C

They need to pave underneath the tables so that it's not all dirt and mud. Come during the winter and it's not so crowded but still nice to sit outside under the heat lamps !

Tash Concepcion

One of my favorite burgers in NYC. It's just the right size so doesn't overwhelm. Lines at Madison Square Park location tends to be long but it's nice to sit in the park and eat!

Eater

Shake Shack gives vegetarians the "Shroom Burger ." The "patty" is a portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese and deep fried. Word of warning: the first bite will unleash a molten hot center of cheese . Read more

Asli S

Burgers can sometimes be salty but they're juicy & delicious. Fries are great. Try the Shack Attack concrete for dessert ! Long wait usually, check webcam on their website to see the line before going!

Anoop Ranganath

I could never really get behind the ShackBurger , but the new SmokeShack is everything I love: a generous portion of delicious bacon and the vinegary spiciness of cherry peppers . I'll be back for more.

First Shake Shack location in Manhattan, my favorite and definitely the best. Always feel super special to go to the original one. Right in the heart of Madison Square Park , once in awhile indulgence!

Doughnut Plant & Shake Shack made a concrete baby. Staple Concrete features rich and creamy vanilla frozen custard blended with seasonal raspberry jam and chunks of black sesame glazed cake doughnut . Read more

The lines are always crazy, but posting up in Madison Square Park with a Shack Stack , fries , & a black and white shake at the shack that started it all still makes for the perfect summer combo

Kimmie Ohh

You could go in their website to check out the shack cam to see how long the lines are here. You could also order for pickup. Enjoy your burgers , hot dogs , fries & shakes in Madison Square Park . ❤️

Gaia Bennett

Yes it's greasy and red-meaty and all those things they tell you not to do, but it's so good you won't care! Gotta get the whole package. Shackburger . Shake . Fries . Best burger I've ever had. Period.

NVDK

The original shake shack lives up to its name. The shack in the park provides a fun, fresh atmosphere. The shack stack is to die for. One of the best fastfood burgers ever. The crinkle fries are great

Eater

The secret to the Shackburger 's ever-lasting popularity is the patty, which has big beef flavor and just a hint of funkiness. Read more

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Not a huge fan of the burgers but love the setting in Madison Sq Park and the frozen custard especially the hopscotch made with caramel sauce and mast brothers chocolate . Delish!!

brian.브라이언

Put all other reservations on hold! This place is a must visit when going to NYC. Absolutely hands down the best burger in town . Scarf down a Shack Stack w/ cheese fries and a Blue Pabst Ribbon beer !

Yash Kadaru

We got just the classics, Shake Burger , crinkle cut fries , & chocolate and strawberry shakes . It was delicious! Fries not too salty or oily. Great size burger . Shakes were great, choco > straw though

Eater

The OG Shack inside Madison Square Park remains a perfect place to enjoy a burger and crinkle fries outside. Read more

Varun Shetty

The best move is to grab a beer from the short line and then drink it in the looooooong line .

The Corcoran Group

When standing on the Shake Shack line at Madison Green, you can see a number of the lifesize cast iron sculptures of artist Anthony Gormley’s body standing on buildings surrounding the park . Look up!

Jessica

My ultimate favourite Shake shack location. Since it's at the park , it can be much less crowded (vs. indoor locations) and you can eat outside when the weather is really nice!

Berk Kapicioglu

I like that you can eat at the park , that they both offer burgers and wine , and that they are open till very late. It's even fun waiting in line as long as you have friends to keep you company.

Asha Tran

It'd be great to come and eat during summer or fall! Location is great! The food is still the same like any other shake shack location. I always order the Shroom burger and it never disappoints!

Dan Wong

The Shake Stack can only be made better by adding another patty. But then you won't be able to fit it in your mouth, which is already quite a mission. I love this place so much.

PureWow

For those frenzied holiday shopping sprees that leave you sweating in your parka, what you need is a chocolate frozen custard blended with peppermint and topped with whipped cream . Read more

Luciano Annes Nunes

Amazing experience! O wasnt sure about what to choose so i decided for a single cheeseburger AND the mushroom burger . Both até relly great buy The 'shroom is spetacular! Best vegetarian burger ever!

Markus Yli-Honkola

Amazingly good and tasty burgers . The waiting line can be pretty long though, but the wait is worth it. You should have the burger as double, singles are a bit too small.

Nicolette Romero

Absolutely love Shake Shack. Very long lines , but the burgers are worth the wait. Come on a nice day and grab a seat in the park . Make sure to get fries and a shake too!

Alex Hennessey

The original. Still amazes me that the line remains so long after 10+ years. Hit the dessert line here: coffee + donuts concrete. Get a burger at one of the other, equally consistent locations.

Elli Pirelli

Best burger I had in NYC so far! :) try the classic Shake Shack Burger and the fresh lemonade . I really like this location as you can sit in the park !

Doroulini

What a burger !! Try the double because otherwise it is smaller compared to others! Really tasty and juicy! The spot is fantastic!

Jia Rong Li

Super super delicious!!! The chewy bread and juicy meat with special shake sauce make the burger a very rich taste. French fries are crisp. Never miss shake shack when you are in NewYork!!!

Gabriel Chung

Mmm. Great burger and shake . The place that started the whole explosion. Yes, I would wait in line for it. It's best to come before or after lunch to get the shortest line .

Bryce Roberts

whisper the secret off menu "shackmeister" and your crispy shallot , shack sauce dreams will come true. best with a few strips of bacon . because, bacon .

Annie C

You must have a burger . Any burger . Both smoke house and shake burger are fantastic. I may never eat another burger again because non can compare. Cheese on fries is incredible. Custard is a dream.

Deb

The best burgers in NYC!!

Vlad Burca

This place is great! The ShackBurger is delicious and not that expensive , and so is the Dapper Dog! Btw, try to avoid going at lunch (HUGE line ) - go around 4pm, if you can, and it will be free.

CITY GRIT

We want to have someone wait in the line for us. But until we find someone, we’ll stand because this burger is totally worth it. Bonus: you can check the webcam online to see how long the line is!
