Believe the hype. A double with cheese is a great place to start. Add on an order of fries and a vanilla shake and you'll be in heaven. Good luck finding a table or seat...

The Shackmeister has an Angus beef patty topped with cheese , fried shallots , and ShackSauce. The bun is the Shake Shack standard, but on my burger it was buttered like mad before it was grilled. Read more

Holy lines . Alas, it's 2015 so go grab yourself the latest and the greatest - shackmeister burger . It's the best burger on the menu with almost no veges , just crispy marinated shallots !

Ms Helene

Shroom burger can be made with lettuce wrap . Add pickles and onions . Still just a deep fried mushroom with cheese though. Stumptown cold brew !

Any Shake Shack is an awesome burger place for me. This one is no exception. Gets crazy busy during peak times though; no place to sit and you literally climb over people to reach for ketchup/salt!!!

Aki Tykki

Probably the best burger I ever had. Enjoy with cheesefries and a (strawberry ) milkshake . WARNING: You may get a heartattack but at least you'll die with a smile on.

Jeremy Jacobowitz

Get there before 10:30am and order some breakfast sandwiches ! On of only a few locations to order them! Sausage , egg and cheese !!

Mischa

Want to save a little, ask for a cup with ice and get the water just a few steps away near the entrance to the sitting area.

The Grand Central Terminal Shack is serving breakfast ! Available 7-10:30AM on weekdays and 8-10:30AM on weekends

James Panther

It gets busy here but even though the line looks long, it moves pretty quickly.

Dane B

The egg is miles above any I've had at any other fast food joint. But the sausage patty has a disturbingly spongey texture, which will make you wish you'd ordered a burger instead. Go with the BEC.

Dorothy Hunt

The burgers are amazing!! Get the cheese fries . I had enjoyed thee best strawberry mint lemonade . I can't wait to visit again!!

Fotoloco

everybody told me go to shake shack, and iits true: its a delicious place to have fast burgers and shakes

Kenji Arakawa

Commuters: Use the Shake Shack app to order ahead when you leave the office . Your order will be waiting for you before you hustle to the train 🍔 😋🚉

Nicolas Evens

Burger was great, milkshake as well and eating in Grand Central is also a good experience. We had almost no queue @ 2 pm

Benjamin Goodrich

Another enabler to my burger addiction! You won't have to wait long to get delicious food and shakes . Coming back to try the hot dogs !

Kelly K.

Everyone's pretty much jammed up against one another but the shroom burger & milkshakes are worth it.

Sandra R

they serve Stumptown coffee drip and coldbrew style for breakfast !!

Mike Friedlich

Shackburger is amazing. One of my favorite burgers . Fried Chicken Sandwich is also fantastic.

Christopher McCann

The GCT Crunch-stellation "concrete" ice cream is Amazing!

Kenny T

Gct concrete is insane. I love the pretzels and other crunchy bits. Chicken dog not great

Valerie Seckler

Customers buying a shake and paying with a card can skip the line by paying a line attendant armed with mobile device.

Travis Statham

Get the MTA app and save the time to grab a quick double smokeshack. They usually take about 15 minutes to get though.

Karl With A "K"

Love the shack burger , though beware of the cheese fries - it's a dip , it doesn't come out with the cheese/sauce on them.

Lenita Fagerlund

Tasty, I recommend the one with Portobello 👌🏼

Chris Pepin

Best burger bar none. Each location has a different concrete (sundae ). Try them all!

Matthew

Enjoy burgers for breakfast ! The full menu is available from 7 am on weekdays.

Emiliano

Great hamburgers . Try the Shroom .

Christian

Only tried the chocolate cheesecake malt shake , but it was really, really good!

Alex Robertson

Jason Brew

Great place to stop by for a late night burger after a happy hour

Flavia G

Amazing fries with cheese !! They even gave dog food!

Kano

The lines here are pretty crazy. Be sure you got your correct order when you pick it up. I ordered a chicken shack and they gave me a shroom burger .

Mischa

Ask for the new shack meister and don't forget to add the veggies .

Joel Moraes

The shack stack burger is really tasty and also the cheese fries .

Karen

Get the chick'n shack with their new spicy bbq sauce ! Yum!

Anuj Mathur

One of the least crowded locations -- the line to order moves faster than you'd expect.

Kathleen Alejar

Shake Shack burger & Black and White Shake for the win 😋😋

Vuk Milanovic

Hamburger and shake are around average, nothing special. Fast and efficient service and staff is nice enough. This Grand Central one gets a lot of extra points for its placement though!

Melissa Case

Worth every last one of the many seconds you'll wait for that burger . YUM.

Christina ♏️

Pay by card instead of cash and skip the line !

Alberto García Durán

Best american hamburgers ever!!!

Kevin Lieber

Watch out: no peanut butter shakes OR marshmallow for shakes . Remember to get a free seltzer though!

Nahid

Prefer it over In N Out. Price ranges from $8-11.

Katya Pugacheva

Great burgers , but shakes and ice-cream were a bit too much for me.

Mischa

Is pretty obvious that this place gets tons of people at weekday's lunch , so...patience.

Liam K.

Don't sleep on the shack stack and chicken shack baby.

Samantha 💃 Lopez

Chicken sandwich and black and white milkshake 👌🏽

Uiru

Burgers are great !

Dmitry Starkey

Don't hesitate to order double. And not only because of the queues.
