You might have to wait in a long line , but this sufficiently juicy patty tucked into the lightly crisped bun is (fairly ) fast food that pays a compliment to the genre. For dessert , pick the Monu-Mint. Read more

When not in the mood for the burger , opt for ShackMeister Dog™ topped with Shack cheddar & American cheese sauce and crispy ShackMeister Ale-marinated shallots along with a Peach Lemonade .

They really roll out the welcome wagon for newbies! Let them know if it is your first time here - the friendly staff will make you feel special. :-)

Jennifer Denlinger

What isn't good here is a better question. I have yet to find something on the menu that isn't perfectly done and Very tasty. These guys know their stuff. I especially like the fries !

Eater

Sometimes, there’s just nothing that beats the pure convenience and comfort of Shake Shack. Read more

You don't have to be a Meat Lover to eat at Shake Shack... Cheese fries , shroom burger , and a beer . Such a great meal. Also, try the chicken sausage , it's really good!

Nela Lichtscheidl

The names says it all - It's all about the shakes . You can do a combination of flavors, but I recommend trying coffee , mixed with vanilla . It is quite magical.

Michelle Blam

I first went to Shake Shack in New York. The place is magical! The food is so high quality but none of that is lost in translation with secondary locations. I stand by the 'Shroom burger .

Cait Weingartner

AMAZING burgers ! Make sure you get a double & grab a shake or concrete as well . Fries are just okay but the rest of it is well worth it - think east coast version of In N Out

Colleen N

Tip from Washingtonian: get the Shackburger . American cheese , Martin's potato rolls, green leaf lettuce, pickles , and mayonnaisey ShackSauce are all these just-greasy-enough burgers need

Chris

High quality burgers , however those who enjoy beefier less fine-grounded patties topped with sliced melted cheese instead of cheese goo should go elsewhere (like Black and Orange next door).

Awesome burger very tasteful ! You must test it without hesitation and the shake shake burger is absolutely insane!

aro

i know it's a NY import, but it's honestly one of the best burgers in DC. i go simple – cheeseburger with shack sauce – and am never disappointed! all that flavor!

Molly Cushing

Shack burger and shake will never be a bad decision. Busy lines move fast. Food is ready quickly. My favorite place.

Washingtonian Magazine

Desserts here are built around frozen custard . It’s blended into killer shakes and “concretes,” a blend of custard and traditional ice-cream toppings such as hot fudge and cookie dough .

MsTwixt MsTwixt

Cheese fries with homemade cheese sauce and thick "Concretes" are milk shakes with candy , hot fudge & other goodness mixed in. Their Mon-u-mint Concrete is a mint-chocolate crazy-good concoction .

Behrad Eats

The Chick'n Shack fried chicken sandwich is nothing short of amazing!

Lefteris Hazapis

Best burgers and cheese fries anywhere. The custards and the hot chocolate are also pretty good.

Burger Days

When I had my 1st taste, it was love at 1st greasy bite. There’s no other burger that makes me crave it as much as a ShackBurger does. The beef . The bun . The cheese . The grease. It’s just so damn good Read more

Wael J

Great fries and stack shack + the fact that u need to add pepper and salt to make it eatable ????

Sandra Rubinchik

The Shack Stack . Absolutely worth burning the roof of my mouth every time.

Nancy Luckhurst

Shake shack cheeseburger- best burger I've ever eaten! Caramel shake - 2 thumbs up!

Morgan Thomas

Yummy burgers but don't expect big portions . The fries are not my fav (unless u like frozen crinkled fries ) but simple is best here. Go with a (double) cheeseburger . The shakes are not special.

Danyel Smith

truly friendly service . get the cheese fries . and don't sleep on the chi hot dog .

Dmitri

The custard is... Simply fantastic. Try the plain vanilla with no toppings. Get ice if you get water because it comes out warm from the tap.

David Kirsch

'Shroom burger is exceptional. Shakes are great, tho' hard to choose between standard and creative flavors.

Io As Soon

Awesome burger ! Test the Shake Shake burger without hesitation it s insane!

Ege Şahin

The best burger I had ever, delicious! I didnt forget taste of Shake Burger ????

M Squared Real Estate

Try their signature Shack Burger . Always a line , but best in late afternoon before dinner . If you're not eating, there's a register just for shakes & custard .

Brooke Kuhn

Everything on the menu is handcrafted by the gods themselves and sent down from heaven for humans to enjoy

Burger Days

There’s only one on the menu you should order: the Double Shack Burger : two Pat LaFrieda beef patties , American cheese , lettuce, tomato & ShackSauce. It's a greasy, gooey cheesy ball of beefy delight. Read more

Renee Courtland

This Shake Shack seriously has the best customer service in the world! One time they mixed up my order and the manager taxied to my apt to bring me the correct order.

Yasaman Mahdian

I don’t know why but my experience here was awful. Neither fries nor the burger was good! Salty and greasy meat and it was also kind of burnt. Fries was not crispy or tasty. Disappointing.

Kristine Untalan

The new Smoke Stack (cheeseburger w/ shack sauce, bacon & cherry peppers ) is greasy, caloric paradise. SO WORTH IT.

The Transit Navigator

The same delicious food that you'll find in NY, just without the long line . As always, get your Burger , Fries , and Custard !

Michael Lucas

Awesome burgers , awesome shakes . You can't go wrong here if you like either, it's that simple

Thrillist

Meat runs from a signature black angus (single or double) in their secret "ShackSauce" (which reportedly contains everything from paprika to kosher dill pickles ). Read more

Jessus Nazar

Best burgers in USA ! Go for the double and cheese fries

K Stark

When ordering food and a custard , ask them to put a hold on the custard & save your receipt. You can pick up your custard after you eat so it's not all melted!

Maggie MacG

Must get a peanut butter shake if visiting. Fries are sharable size.

Blonde Critic

Shack stack : Juicest, yummiest patty, cheese explosion and crisp fried portobello mushroom . How could you go wrong?

Leandro Lagera

Best location in DC. Get a milkshake while you're at it.

Nick T

Great food. The shroom burger is really tasty. But the service here is so disappointing. Danny Meyer would be heartbroken if he saw how unfriendly and slow the staff can be.

Jeff

Totally lives up to the hype, plus this location has beer - some on tap , like their ShackMeister Ale !

becca gibson

The ShackStack is ridiculously delicious and will give you a heart attack on the immediate.

Justin Barton

I m from NY, I love Shake Shack, but this place is sooo hood on a Saturday night! Stay away!!!

Candice Barnes

The "Shack Stack " is overrated and too greasy. Just go with the classic cheese burger and dip those fries in your peanut butter shake . Awesome, right?

Brett payne

The mushroom burger is incredible and say yes to the cheese fries

AskMen

: This place is doing it right. They have five burgers , and they're all nearing best-in-town status. Their shakes make you instantly unable to process another McDonalds oil slick. Read more

Gregory Nelson

Service with a smile and the best fast casual burger in DC. Danny has the right recipe for success.
