Sometimes you don't want a rich and oversized restaurant burger late at night, you just need a smaller snack burger to ensure an easy sleep. Shake Shack is your burger joint made just for that. Read more

This location in the heart of Times Square is super busy but service is handled fairly quick. I've tried Shake Shack plenty of times almost everywhere! Consistently great burgers , always way to go

Serious Eats

Grab a Shack Burger before curtain! This Shake Shack location is a great spot for a quick yet totally delicious pre-theater bite.

Danny Meyer's billion dollar burger chain reaches its apex at the The Times Square location for a very simple reason: It's the only one that's open until midnight. Read more

This decade-old Danny Meyer E coast burger & shake chain serves my 2nd fave burger - Single Shack Burger w/ Pat LaFreida's 100% all-natural Angus beef...altho' their Shack fries top my #1 fave In-N-Out

Harlem’s Hungry

The chicken sandwich is a must. I hope it stays forever. I love the shack stack. Those delicious fried portobello tops and that sauce are a match made in heaven.

Stephanie Low

Still craving the black and white (frozen custard with fudge ) shake . Also the concretes have a special flavor each day of the week. The c-line for these means a 5 minute wait instead of out the door.

Bourbonaut

Their burgers were worth the long line and their peanut butter shake is to die for. I cannot wait for Shake Shack to come to the West Coast.

Albi The-Aziz

Visiting from Toronto and we decided to try it! Did not disappoint, burgers were juicy with fresh toppings . Simple and delicious. Make sure to pick up condiments as they do not come dressed !

Bommy

Whoa long line but moves super fast. Crowded so keep a lookout an open table while waiting for your # to be called. Burger is just ok but worth a try. Crinkle cut fries are a must.

Paddy

The double shack burger is delicious. Had a strawberry milkshake too and it was excellent. Best fast food shake I've had. Bit expensive though, dbl shack burger , fries and shake for almost $20

Try any of their many NYC locations--you can't go wrong. If you are hungry for something outside of the burgers , try the incredible spicy fried chicken . Bonus: you can order brews & wine .

Shake Shack has been listed among some of America's finest dining establishments in a new ranking of the country 's best restaurants according to The Daily Meal list. NYC dominate the top 20 spots.

Awesome food! Purple cow was delicious. GO EARLY! Worth the money but can be a huge time killer if you are on vacation. There is a reason people wait in line .

Tom Lee

If you haven't had Shake Shack but think you love burgers , you don't as much as you think you do. It's one of America's best fast-food burgers . Yes, better than In-N-Out, and yes, it has its own se...

albertosherrero

Don't get impressed by the line . It goes fast. And it's worth to wait and try the Smoke Shack and the cheese fries . Despite being a chain, they serve really gourmet burgers !

Wejdan ✨

No mattar who many good burgers i've ever had. Shake shack is my fav. I love this juicy meat with that greasy mustered sauce oh so yum. No other place can do it better!

Eric Smith

Not the best Shake Shack around (what do you expect, it's Times Square)... but still the best burger in the area. Perfectly cooked burgers and delicious shakes . Hard to find a seat in this place.

Alex Spanky

Went into Shake Shake expecting a gut bomb similar to Steak n Shake or In & Out, but was surprisingly amazed. All fresh and high quality ingredients with lots of smang flavors. Overall mad tasty

Plwm Bwm

Shackmeister Ale , cheese fries and a few double Shack burgers . For one or two people, it doesn't matter, you will leave very happy. Sit on the floor if you have to!

Compass

Shake Shack opened its Upper West Side outpost in 2008, and the lines have been around the block ever since. If you go for an afternoon snack , you should be able to waltz in for their shroom burger .

Jose Antonio Tena Sendra

It might look commercial but they are some of the best burgers in town . Worth the wait. Although most locations are better, as in everything time square is crowded and full of tourists .

Adnan Manjal

Ok... All the hype is god good reason. The smokshack burger with bacon and chili is to die for. It was soo good I didn't want to finish it... Fantastic! (Minus the jungle crowd)

Kevin Reape

I read all of the reviews saying this place had the best burgers , and after eating here I couldn't agree more. It honestly is delicious. Hoping we get some in St. Louis.

Casey Siao

It has a long line but moves pretty fast. The shroom burger is like cheesy mushroom dont get me wrong its gooooood. Well , had 3 variants of their burger all was goooood!

E Smutko

Furthermore, walk around the corner and go split a 5 Napkin burger . You'll get just as much burger , with gruyere , caramelized onions , and better fries for $8 each. We did. Literally right after.

Winson Wong

Shack Stack!! Portobello mushroom with fried cheese . The cheese oozes out whilst you bit into the burger . So delicious. The concretes are good too! Just super long lines :(

Dan Yon

Mm-hmm! This is a tasty burger ! Vincent! You ever had a Shake Shack burger ? Well you should, and get an awesome frozen custard to wash it down!

Jasmiah Chase

Even if you try the classic shack burger you won't be disappointed. It's usually packed inside & outside so.. Prepare

Martin Turner

Amazing! The best hamburgers in Manhattan (and NY!). The fries are just perfect and make a amazing couple with any burger in the menu.

Rachel Wang

Open til midnight so indulge in your late night burger cravings. They also have fries to get rid of at the end of the night for free so keep that in mind potato lovers

Emily

The burger is great! Fries aren't too special, so get them with cheese . Also, prepare to be aggressive in getting a seat!

Theresa Roldan

Everything is great. Trust me. I've had every food item on the menu, and it's all great. Too it off with a delicious shake and you're set.

drew tarvin

The burger is so good you don't need anything else on it except for cheese . If there's no seating, you can get it to go and sit at a table in Times Square.

Zoraya

I got the chicken dog and strawberry shake (2 out of 5 stars). If your type of food is plain American food , then this is it. Good luck finding a spot to eat on a Wednesday afternoon in the summer.

py

I had the mushroom burger , was pretty tasty. Can be really crowded , so you might have to take it to go.

Scott Franklin

Other shacks outside of NYC have not been able to recreate the magic. Everything on the menu here is killer. Live life and get a little fat.

Meir Sadan

Sure, you need to fight a bunch of 12 year olds who eyed the same table as you at exactly the same time, but then you get to eat what you ordered and you're like "Yay! I love everybody!"

Jennifer W

Queue up, get your burger , grab a corner of standing counter. Eat, enjoy, then mosey out and make way for someone else - camp out at a table and I murder you with my eyes.

Arun Mathew

I have friends who don't like cinnamon and nutmeg . If you are one too, stay away from the Mexican fudge brownie custard . It's actually spicy . The burger though - love it love it love it!!!

Mary Tere R A

Really crowded all the time, very little space for sitting. Excellent hamburgers , fries and milkshakes .

Tom

Often busy with lines out the door and mostly filled with tourists . Avoid this location or if you're on iOS, use the Shack App (no Android version at the moment) to order ahead and skip the line .

New York Habitat

Our vote for best burger in the city and while you will have to wait in a long line , it's worth it. Shack burger with cheese fries and a chocolate shake . Say no more.

Solu Raggio

The smokeshack is delicious, but if you don't like spicy food you might want to skip the red pepper . Delicious fries , good prices and free drink refills.

Kimmie Ohh

This Shake Shack location is 2 blocks away from Port Authority. There are those security stanchions outside the entrance & there is a security guard by the exit.

HuffPost

This new location just opened, so the lines will be predictably epic. Stop by in the late afternoon when the crowds thin out and order their famed frozen custard along with your burger . Read more

Leo Waka

Delicious hamburguers... Must try the peanut butter shake !! A little crowed... Should be a little bigger place, because there are tons of tourists

Renee Jones

Go early (at opening) or go late to miss the crowds. If you're just in for a shake (or other cold food), you can skip the big line for a shorter one inside.
