Shake Shack

This was my first time at this location and OMG!!! I don’t know how these people do it everday and stand on this line because its excessively long. I’m talking about wrapping around the park if it could long, just for lunch!!! Any other day I wouldve simply went somewhere else but I bared the line. My husband had the Smoke Shack woth fries and a blueberry custard and I had the Chick’n Shack with fries and a Strawberry Shake. The food was so good and filling it made me forget about the wait. I’ve had Shake Shack before but it’s always like the first time. The service was good, everyone was nice given the crowd and no one had the «retail attitude» — the why am I here, just take your stuff and leave ‘tude.
Besides the blazin heat and long line it was worth the trip. Also if you’re thinking of staying for awhile try to scout seats while you’re on the line because some people tend to get too comfortable in their seats and don’t leave.

The best burgers & shakes! Shake Shack is a must try when in NY. The line was about 10 minutes and the cashier was friendly. Our food came fast.
I love the fries, been here several times and the fries are always crispy. Crinkle cuts fries, smoke shack, shroom burger & frozen custard are my favorite, I’ll definitely be back on my next visit to NY.

After hearing a lot about this place, I finally decided to go when I was in the area. After a half hour wait (which I expected), I get to the window and order a Smoke Shack. As I go to the pickup area, I see the price is wrong– I had been rung out for a Shack Burger. I ask about this and am sent back to the register, where they re-​ring the transaction. Asking for a Smoke Shack again, I look at the ticket and see that I’d been rung out for… A Shroomburger. I simply told them to cancel it, at that point. I got my lunch elsewhere.
Come here if you like, but know they might get your order wrong.
Twice.

This is one of my favorite food spots in the city.
Shake Shack at it’s best. Add the perfect setting and it’s icing on the cake. Definitely a great spot for a first date or to go with your out-​of-​town guests!
The line is usually pretty long (tip: check the Shack cam online to see what it looks like before you go) but it moves relatively quickly. There is a fast lane if you’re only ordering shakes/​ice cream.
With the whole menu available, including wine and beer, this location basically becomes a delicious beer garden. There’s plenty of seating so even on busy days you should have trouble finding a spot.

As far as burger joints go this is one of the better ones out there. The burgers are good but not spectacular and the service can be a little slow and chaotic, especially if you get there around lunch time, since because its so famous the line is always stretching across the block/​park.
Love the classic burger though!

The original. Come here, but expect crazy lines. This is the Shake Shack I grew to know and love. Not the public company and locations ever expanding with new options. No, the wait in a 30 minute line in Madison Square Park in 100 degree summer heat begging for the shakes on shakes they have with a side of the best fries and burgers they are now known for.
Honestly though, some of the best Shake Shack fries here every time. Crispy and made to perfection. Other locations have been soggy at times.
Anyways, another short review, because there’s something for everyone here and the ambiance is classic New York. It may be a tourist trap now, but they still keep their standards up, so come check it and cross it off the bucket list.

Amazing customer service!
After my order was taking an usually long time, I went up to inquire what the issue was. We soon realized that there was a snafu with my buzzer, and it never went off, so my food had been sitting there for a while. The woman at the counter could have just handed it to me, or redid my order, but she went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Much appreciated!

Although I’ve had Shake Shack before, I’ve never experienced the original NYC location in Madison Square Park. My sister pointed out that the line was pretty bearable, although it looked pretty long to me.
We ordered pretty quickly, which is nice for the decisive. I, on the other hand, am not decisive and felt rushed when we ended up at the front of the line way too quickly for my tastes. What a complaint, huh?
Shakes were only $ 2 that day because of donations to some organization or another. So definitely worth it, even though the cup was only ¾ full. I ordered a fair trade coffee shake to go with my single patty burger and fries.
Birds and bugs were everywhere — but I can’t complain about nature, Shake Shack can’t control the pests outside so easily. There was plenty of outdoor seating, though, as people ate their food and left shortly after.
It took a while to get our food, much longer than it took to get through the line. The fries were hard and nearly inedible. The single Shack Burger was its usual goodness, though, if not juicier than I remember.
I can’t complain about a coffee milkshake either. Coffee in any form from ice cream and milk shake to piping hot liquid, is Bae. That’s all.
Overall, it was great people watching in Madison Square Park with a great view of Manhattan around me while munching on a Shack Burger, but I wasn’t super impressed with the quality of food, unfortunately.

Shake Shack is as Shake Shack does, and I don’t think anything I can add to the conversation would provide much insight, but hey, why not try?
This location is outdoors, with two lines — one for actual food, and one for those wanting only a drink (or another — yeah, definitely double dipped on the milkshakes with a friend). Same level of food as the other locations — a pretty standard Shake Shack with a pretty tasty burger and, in my opinion, good fries. However, as the name implies, the shake is always a good option — this particular time they were offering a free milkshake with a donation of $ 2 for a cause I can’t remember at the moment. At the time, I was willing to donate (not caring so much about the free milkshake). After sharing a strawberry milkshake with a friend, I was glad I’d «purchased» the free coupon, which we redeemed shortly after our meal for a chocolate shake.
Definitely prefer the strawberry (the chocolate gets a bit rich after the first few sips), but as always, worth a repeat.

Shake Shack really is the business in burgers & as NYC rookie, where else to sink your teeth into a burger but at Shake Shack’s original location at Madison Square Park. The burgers here are glorious. They’re big, fresh & jam packed full of flavour. It doesn’t get much more New York than this.
One of the great things about this particular location is Madison Square Park itself. A gorgeous location to sit among the ironic skyscrapers of NYC & watch the world go while you get some burger in you. The crinkle cut fries, at $ 2.99, are an institution here & the perfect accompaniment to any burger. I personally ordered the Shake Stack (Cheeseburger & Shroom Burger w/​lettuce, tomato & Shack Sauce) at a cool $ 9.59. Having eaten at In-​N-​Out Burger umpteenth times on the West Coast, I can honestly say that Shake Shack has stolen my heart in the burger stakes.
The line to order might seem daunting here, but it moves quickly as it winds around the park. I might even go as far to say that the anticipation from standing in line, ultimately makes having that burger in yours hands taste even better.
Since eating here last year, I’ve heard pretty stellar reports coming in about the Chick’n Shack Burger. As a result, on my trip back this October, grabbing one of these is definitely high on my NYC priority list. Review to follow.

Whoa! This place hit the spot on a late night run and I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while as we’re not privileged with this place in Jersey… yet or near me. I wasn’t disappointed. I had the smoke burger and it had all I wanted. A smoky tasting burger, cheese, strips of bacon and chopped peppers which was different but worked out real good. the peppers are minced up and give it additional flavor. I got some fries with it which were alright, definitely had better, but have had worse too.
A decent run here, I only got to try half of the package — the burger, but not the shake. I’d be happy to give this place another go. Hopefully they expand these more into NJ. Make it happen!

Shake Shack is a well known fast food staple by folks in the Greater New York City area. It is highly touted as a great place to get great quick fast food bites at a reasonable price. Want to relax and enjoy outdoors? When the weather is beautiful and working on your tan is a must, eating here is as good as it gets. Shake Shack will deliver with its organic ingredients and delicious desserts. If you are looking for a real New York experience, this is your chance! Shake Shack’s burgers are one of the best that I had in my life. trust me! Shake Shack is really popular for their sweets (Concretes), but I love the vegetarian burger — it’s a Portobello mushroom that’s fried with cheese. Not exactly the healthiest, but it’s so delicious. Their crinkle-​cut fries are my favorite in NYC. Make sure you get a Concrete if you’re not too full from dessert.
Don’t be put off by the long lines — the line moves quickly! If there’s any Shake Shack location you need to visit, this is the one! Be sure to get there before the lunch rush.

Shake Shack is quintessential New York. The Shackburger is pretty much perfect, and although it’s pretty small for a burger, I say it’s worth it every time (and you can always order 2…). Their crinkle fries are on point nearly every time (so glad they did not phase them out for regular fries). Wash it down with an Arnold Palmer (⁵⁰⁄₅₀ lemonade & iced tea), and your day is pretty much golden.
But it gets better. This location is ridiculous. You’re surrounded by skyscrapers in a gorgeous park (Madison Square), the weather is perfect at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and despite the inevitable 30+ minute wait on line. you realize how lucky you are to be in one of the greatest cities in the world.
Oh, and I agree with Ruggy. Shake Shack is better than In-​N-​Out (Not sorry, Californians)

Awesome location! I had a chocolate milkshake and it was perfect. There was no line (at lunch time) for milkshakes. I would definitely stop back!

I love Shake Shack.
Their burgers and shakes are delicious. The fries are OK but I always get them to complete my burger experience. You can get them topped with melted cheese. The line is almost always long, but moves quickly. Worth the wait. This location has plenty of outdoor seating. I like that it’s in the park, makes for a better burger eating experience.

The anticipation was killing me. I was greatly enthused by the aura that surrounds Shack Shack. Going to the original Shake Shack location in Madison Square was an out-​of-​body experience. I mean, after all, burgers are «it» for me. If you didn’t know, I’m the #2 reviewer of burgers behind Eli G (but I’m catching up… he’s gone dark!).
It’s got comparisons up the ying-​yang to the West Coast In-​n-​Out Burger. But, I think it’s quite different. While InO has a simple menu that is indeed great and stands on it’s own, SS offers a variety of burgers options (bacon, shrooms), dogs, wine/​beer, and custard shakes.
The order: Smoke Burger, fries, and oatmeal cream shake.
REVIEW
1. Smoke Shack Burger ($ 6.84) with fries (review below) — good meat, but inferior bun to InO. Bacon was a nice touch and something not offered by InO, but I was bored after 4 bites. It doesn’t come standard with pickles and lettuce, so it didn’t have a variant consistency… which always brings extra value. (3.5 stars)
2. Fries ($ 2.99) — krinkle-​cut fries, far from the fresh potato InO uses. Frankly, tasted like it was poured out of the freezer. But, who am I kidding, any fry is bombtastic. (3.5 stars)
3. Oatmeal Cream Shake ($ 5.59) — way expensive but awesome. While InO has the standard vanilla/​chocolate/​strawberry, SS offers some standard flavors AND special flavor of the week. This had terrific flavor, was thick, and amazing. (5.0 stars)
EXPERIENCE
It’s quite something the location of this eatery. Located in Madison Square, it’s surrounded by a little park with plenty of outside seats. No inside seating.
CONCLUSION
It’s good, no doubt. Shakes rule. Burgers and fries pale in comparison to InO, but they’ve chosen to be out west only (for quality purposes)…I say, whatever! As it stands, it’s a good experience, and for that, I say, YES!
If your a nervous type (or an odd voyeur, you can view the Shack Shack cam at
, and you can keep your eye on the line-​up to then jump to it as it packs up.

*drumroll*
Today, I am finally going to tell a story that I’ve promised to do in a few reviews back. The story of popping my Shake Shack cherry here… LOL. Yes, ladies and gents, this is the first Shake Shack that I’ve ever been to.
It was still sort of cold and windy despite it being the Spring season in the month of March 2014. My friends and I were exhausted from a day of wandering in the city.
Friend #1: «I’m starving.» *clutches stomach*
Me: «Me too.» :’(
*walking**walking**walking**friendseesMadisonSquar­eParkfromadistance.*
Friend #2: «Let’s get Shake Shack!»
Me: «Shake Shack?! Never tried it! LEGGO!!!»
Friend #1 & #2: «Wut? You’ve never tried Shake Shack?!»
Me: «No…»
Well my big moment came when we finally arrived at what appeared to be a «shack» in the middle of nowhere. I got on line and finally got myself a Shroom Burger (suggested by Friend #1). At the time, I was the type of person who could not survive in a world without meat, so it seemed incredulous to me to eat a burger without the meat. Well, I’m glad to say that the huge generously breaded oozy cheese covered mushroom patty in the Shroom Burger worked out!
I still remember it as clear as yesterday: I had this huge smile on my face as I nommed on my burger. My inner foodie was soo satisfied. Right after I took a snapchat of my beautiful burger, my phone died (nooo!).
Fast forward to 2016, I was dismayed when I came back to this location last night to discover that the size of burgers had shrunken to the size of what was a little bit bigger than sliders. The Shroom burger tasted too deep-​fried, and generally wasn’t as great as when I first tried it.
I’ve also tried the custards (which is heavy Ice Cream) and they’re actually pretty good: really creamy, smooth – analogous to a Wendy’s frostee. SS also likes to introduce limited edition flavored custards each week, so there’s always something new to try if you’re feeling adventurous or looking for something to wash down all those burgers and fries. You can also ask for a free sample before deciding to make a purchase; you can’t return ice cream, after all… :/​
And that’s the end of my story! Thanks for making it this far, hehe! =]
edit: OMG, I just realized that this is my 100^th review! W00TTT! #MADEIT!

Being from California, I was super excited to try the «east coast version of In-​n-​Out» burger. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Shake Shack so I was ready to wait the 45 min line at Madison Square Garden. What is cool is that they also offer custard desserts as well as beer and wine.
I was thinking about ordering the classic Shack Burger, but the ‘Shroom burger look so interesting and my friend mentioned that it was amazing. My other California friend and I decided to get one of each and then try each others. The ‘shroom burger won by far. Taking a bit of that deep fried juicy portobello mushroom, full of sauce and cheese took me to a place close to food heaven. We also tried the custard with the hopscotch mix ins and it was also delicious. Quite and food success.
I am sad that there aren’t any shake shacks near SF that I know of. Definitely so glad that I tried this ‘shroom burger. This madison square garden location is absolutely beautiful, spacious and enjoyable.

I don’t often review chains, and it’s especially rare that I review multiple locations of a single chain, but Shake Shack is an anomaly in so many ways. Their burgers are perfect, as I’ve documented widely across more or less all of their locations that I’ve frequented, but with the introduction of their Chicken Shack I felt the need to write yet another review singing their praises to the high heavens.
Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?
How does one even begin to compete with an original? Yes, the line at the original Shake Shack is long, almost always, but unless you’re looking at 60+ minutes (and you might be) and so long as the weather is tolerable, this really is a line worth waiting in. The logistics are the same, but being in the middle of a park in the world’s greatest city ordering some of the world’s best food is one of those truly out of body experiences. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
A Chicken Shack burger will run you $ 6.29, and while it isn’t a large sandwich (smaller than Chic fil a), it’s still worth it with good ingredient proportions and and, as you’ll see, great flavor. Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
I expected greatness, and greatness is exactly what I recieved. I’ll start here by saying that I love Chic fil a, and strongly feel as though their spicy chicken sandwich is one of if not the best in the game. Having said that, the Chicken Shack burger is wonderful, with a breaded and fried but clearly fresh chicken patty that has flavor in it’s own right blending perfectly with pickles, lettuce, mayo, and a wonderfully buttery and tasty bun. It’s perfection, just like their burgers. Dual Stars Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
Of course. Anywhere, anytime. Star Granted.

The first time I tried Shake Shack was at the NYNY in Vegas. At that time, it was a hard sell for me to consider the hype and value. That was until a trip back to New York City, and, putting the coast vs. coast thoughts aside, I was able to appreciate their food.
Just got word that the business is finally opening up in WeHo/​LA, so before I jump onto that, it’s only right to take care of reviewing my visit to the flagship location at Madison Square Park.
We got there midday afternoon in the fall after having eaten at another Shake Shack a few days before. While my companion always sticks to the ShackBurger (the standard cheeseburger that will never let you down), I was keen on going there just to try the ParkBurger exclusive only to the mothership. Dripping with creamy melted cow’s milk cheese and thick applewood smoked bacon, it was a savory trial worth the infamous wait. Indeed it was crowded with long lines and difficult to score a table, but I like the Madison Square Park shack for its outdoor setup: a park beer garden atmosphere that I imagine would twinkle with hungry delight on balmy evenings amidst pints of Shackmeister Ales (the company’s brew).
If you go to this original Shake Shack location and can muster up enough queue patience in your day, the ParkBurger is worth a try, but the ShackBurger and crispy crinkle cut fries are just as reliable here as at any of their «shacks.»
And yep, I’ll most likely review the other 3 locations (Upper West Side, Theater District, Brooklyn) where I got my burger fix for two weeks.

Que decir de shake shack, realmente una de mis hamburguesas preferidas. Lo mejor que tiene es el nivel de constancia, siempre salen igual de bien… No entiendo como hacen… La unica estrella que le bajo es por las largas colas y casi guerras por conseguir mesas! El producto super recomendable.

Are these burgers good? Sure. Are they as good as hyped up to be and worth the wait in the massive line? No way.
This place has been built up to be the end all and be all of burger places. It’s not. At this point it’s little more than a tourist trap.
Do yourself a favor and head over to Schnipper’s across the street, order to go, and come back and eat in the park. You’ll come out a few bucks ahead and you might even save some time.

Their burgers are weak sauce and do not live up to any hype you hear and are NOTHING in comparison to an In-​N-​Out burger.
But the Chicken Shack… The Chicken Shack is down right INCREDIBLE. Now this, this creation lived up to everything great I heard about it. The chicken was moist and crispy. The herb mayo and crisp sour pickles were the perfect balance. Add a few dashes of hot sauce and d: R:o:o:L over every bite.

Oh my god this place is amazing!!! I Was famished and needed something to fill me up and also taste great. And shake shack did just that and more. I got the portobello mushroom burger with krinkle cheese fries and looking at the size, i felt that i might need another burger. Did not need to. This burger was big flavour packed in a small size bun and I was more than satisfied to have eaten it. The mushrooms were stuffed with cheese and batter fried before being put in a burger bun along with some more cheese and tomato– match made in burger heaven! The fries were the perfect accompaniment. I ll be back here soon for sure!

I love Shake Shack but my sister and I had a terrible experience last night.
It was freezing cold and there was no line so our order got taken quickly. We sat down to wait for the buzzer to ring… 20 minutes later… still no buzz… people who got there later than us already had their food. I went to the pick-​up window and informed the girl at the window that it’s been 20 minutes since we ordered. She took my receipt and brought it to another girl putting the order together. The window girl came back to the window and told me she gave it to the line girl. I stood by the window another 20 minutes… the whole time meanwhile other orders are being completed. The window girl avoided eye contact with me the whole time. I finally went to the registers and asked for the manager and to explain what happened. I still had the buzzed b/​c I was never buzzed. The window girl was behind the manager, gave me a really nasty look and said had the nerve to say «I gave it to her.»
She may have given it to someone but it was definitely not me. I was by the window the whole time waiting. The manager got the original order and had it made stat. She also was kind enough to refund me the cost and gave us some fries and an apology! She said for the future, that if the order takes more than ten minutes, there may be something amiss.
By the time we got our burgers, my sister and I were too upset and hungry. My fingers and toes were frozen! The burgers were pretty raw but we didn’t want to waste any more time than we had already.
The experience overall was terrible… and the response by the window girl, even worse!

I am definitely a fan, but not a wait in line for hours fan. If you are hungry, craving a juicy burger, and are in the area, definitely stop by. However, don’t go out of your way for this burger. It is really good and above average but nothing spectacular. That being said, I did enjoy my burgers and fries a lot.
Also I just love this location at this Park here.

Llegar a New York y que la primera comida sea una jugosa hamburguesa de Shake Shack no tiene precio, algo totalmente recomendable.
Las hamburguesas tienen el tamaño justo para poder seguir recorriendo la ciudad sin morir en el intento. Las papas fritas merecen una reseña aparte, crocantes y adictivas.
A veces la fila puede parecer muy larga, pero avanza rápidamente.

My favorite location to eat at. Burgers and cheese fries plus shakes. The out door seating is relaxing since its in a park. I enjoy coming to this location

How can you go to NYC without even trying Shake Shack? I stopped by here 2 years ago for dinner before going to MSG to catch the Knicks play the Warriors. I’m personally a fan of Shake Shack although it does dig a hole in your wallet compare to other burger joints I’m used to (In-​N-​Out) But the price doesn’t keep me away nor does it keep from anyone else. I pretty much paid $ 18 for a meal because they sell everything separately here.
Food:
+ ShackBurger topped with lettuce, tomato, & shack sauce. (Sounds pretty simple but it’s so good.)
+ Cheese fries = Amazing
+ Strawberry Milkshake yessss.
I really like this location espsically during Spring/​Summer because it’s in Times Square.
Conclusion: I’ll be back. You have to try it!

About a 1 – 1.5: Shake Shack started out from a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park, eventually turning into a permanent kiosk in ’04. The menu offers burgers, flat-​top dogs, fries, frozen custard, beer & wine, and even breakfast items. I have been holding out in trying this out this chain until I was able to check out their original location, even prohibiting the hubs from trying out their other locations: P We tried a ShackBurger, single, which was a cheeseburger topped with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce, as well as their limited edition, ‘Roadside’ Burger (a cheeseburger topped with bacon caramelized onions) — we both were super disappointed with the burgers as they were just not tasty! The buns were soggy and way too soft, not being able to hold onto the fillings. The patties were extremely bland and not seasoned. The ShackSauce was watered down and I would have preferred the typical Thousand Island dressing that most burger joints used. Dipping the burgers into ketchup helped slightly, but after a few bites, they were tossed. A side of the Cheese Fries were also ordered — the crinkle-​cut fries were crispy, but again, not seasoned — adding some sprinkling of salt and pepper did the trick. The cheese sauce was okay, which was a blend of cheddar and American cheese sauce. To wash it all down, the hubs had a a strawberry shake, while I had one of their holiday flavors, the Gingerbread — both were super thick, but it was more milk than the actual fruit/​gingerbread, and it was also just not flavorful. Overall, we were super disappointed and super surprised at the popularity of this place — I am not sure if we went on an off day, but I wasn’t a fan and I won’t be back.

So I’ve been twice now first time was in the Las Vegas strip. Now I got to eat the original shack!
Wow it’s awesome. You must come here in NY! (I’m from Cali and no I’m sorry it doesn’t replace In n Out but it’s a great spot)
Burger is juicy and flavorful, bun is soft and soaks in the juices. Cheese!!! Man that cheese sauce on the fries is amazing and the brew made specially from Brooklyn Brewery washes it down perfectly!
Custard is pretty good but it’s not Wisconsin Custard. I still ate it all though :-)
Come eat here at the original park location it’s too cool to experience this little shack and the amazing food coming out of it!

Expensive for the amount you get but damn it’s good. I always get single stack, lemonade, and fries. Buttery bread makes the burger. And I like their crinkle fries. That period of time when they had straight cut fries… geezus…I boycotted them as a result… and then came back a few months later because I couldn’t resist the burger.
Tip: Have interns go down to wait in line starting at 11:30 AM and bring it back up to place onto your desk. Eat.
OR go outside yourself and grin and bear the line so you could sit in the park afterwards. It is my favorite park despite being in the middle of that part of town I really dislike but used to work at.

Oooh look… a Shake Shack! Hit up this Madison Square Park spot at night and the place was packed! I was told this is the In-​n-​Out version NY style. Hmmm… it’s too bad I don’t eat meat so that I could have a better comparison. I like that’s there’s a non-​meat option (not just lettuce and tomato) available for non-​meat eaters. Yes, I am a fan of this option! Disclaimer: this does not mean the meal is any healthier.
I opted to order the ‘Shroom Burger. Bun’s flavor was consistent to I-N-O’s, but not similar in texture. SS has a bit thicker set of buns (that’s what she said). The mushroom and cheese, coated with a type of breading, was deep fried to perfection. Grease did not ooze out when I took a bite (maybe the thicker buns absorbed it). Honestly after walking 18 miles around NY (coz my fitbit said so) after a red eye flight– the calories were not a bother at the time. And yes, I gobbled up all the fries. I-​N-​O fries were hands down much, much, much tastier.
Even though we came here late at night, there were a ton of folks getting their shack on so there was a long wait for our food (meaning over 20 minutes). I did not try any of their shakes, which I should’ve… but this little belly of mine can’t accumulate too much food in one sitting.
Price for food is a bit high… but I expected this in NY. I do love the location. I’m sure this is the perfect spot when it’s not raining or snowing and the weather is immaculate. I did not see an option for indoor dining.
Glad I got to try this place out. IMO, SS is very unlike I-​N-​O. And there you have it!
BTW… Shake Shack is coming to LA very soon.

So happy to say my first experience at Shake Shack was at this wonderful location. I can’t think of anything better than to come here on a warm mid-summer’s day to enjoy a burger and a shake while people watching on a park bench.
The food here is fantastic. I love the mushroom burger, and the Shack Stack. What a treat. I love my In N Out in California, but something screams unity at Shake Shack. Be it the location, the chill crowd or the delicious food, something is brewing here and it’s good. So effing good. Please come to California. We need you. Get rid of the monstrosity that is five guys.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of NYC’s tremulous schedule and hectic fast paced lifestyle, this location is the best there is to sit and take a breather. Find your solace. Eat a burger.

Came here recently for lunch and ordered the Christmas Cookie Shake, Shack Stack and Fries! I’m totally digging the winter + penguin theme on the bags and shake cups! Too cute for words.
The Christmas Cookie Shake was good. It is 50 cents more than the regular shakes so I recommend giving it a try.
The Shack Stack and the fries were great as always. My wait wasn’t too long so that was a huge plus.

A New York institution, and the titular «shack» where it all began. Waiting in these lines is a right of passage, and totally worth it for the experience of al fresco dining in lovely Madison Square. A great date spot, especially at dusk when the twinkly lights get glowing. You have to be a little aggressive scoping out a table when the weather’s nice. And be vigilant around the bold squirrels. Give ‘em an inch and they’ll take a mile. (Or, give them a fry and they’ll try to take your whole box of fries. I speak from experience.)
The shackburgers and hot dogs can’t be beat. And on the rare summer holiday weekend when they offer corndogs, you’re foolish if you don’t carpe diem and order (at least) one. And thank goodness the shack gods heard our plea and brought back the perfect crinkle cut fries — the best to be had in NY.
When it comes to sweets, I’ve never ordered a «custard of the week» flavor that I regretted. Each concoction is pretty rockin, with offerings like Cronut, red velvet, and pb&j popping up in rotation.
Don’t forget to also hit up the shack in winter months! The lines are shorter, the heat lamps keep you toasty, and you get to order the scrumptious salted hot chocolate.

I’m a big fan of this location. I think it’s beautiful, especially at night. Yet, the restaurant itself — in my opinion — overrated.
I’m a big shake shack fan, but this establishment really is overhyped. Don’t get me wrong, the burgers and shakes are fantastic, but I really don’t think it’s worth the $ and waiting hours and hours in line. Plus, this place is talked about like the holy grail of New York. It’s just burgers and fries people… really good burgers and fries… but still overhyped.
If you’re a tourist or New York and have never been to Shake Shack (I don’t know if those people even exist… but even so) it’s definitely a must in places to go to. Other than that, really not worth the hour long wait during lunch rush.
Their mushroom burgers are something special. Pair that with a side of fries, and it makes for the best classic meal. Just be aware, that you’ll love it so much that you may be tempted to get back in line for more.

I’m gonna squint and pretend it’s 2007, when I just arrived in town and there was only one Shake Shack, so it made sense to stand in a very long line.
The shroom burger is perfect for vegetarians who want to eat something heart-​attack-​inducing for once. Behold: two portobello caps sandwiched around muenster cheese then DEEP FRIED, with a little crisp lettuce leaf and a little fresh tomato slice nestled inside a little sweet bun. It looks small, but damn — it’s heavy.
Watch that first steamy bite, when all that melted cheese erupts out of the bellos and onto your shirt.
Fries are good. Custards are on point, especially the concretes. Or stick with the half iced tea half lemonade, or hell — get a beer.
Which brings me to the trick to waiting in the long-​ass line: there are two lines. One’s long-​ass, and one’s so short you might not see it. Go to the short line first, grab a beer, proceed to long-​ass line, enjoy.
Or (fast forward to now) — go to ANY of the local Shake Shacks and enjoy no long-​ass line.

Hier gibt es die besten «Fastfood» Burger New Yorks. Nein– ganz US-​Amerikas!
Der Preis ist zwar etwas höher als gewöhnliche Fastfood Burgerläden, aber die Qualität ist auch entsprechend. Das Brot ist glaube ich mit Süßkartoffeln gemischt und dss Brot ist schön fettig.
Mein Liebling war der (double) Smokey Shack (oder Smoke Shack).

Shake Shack tem, sem dúvidas, o melhor hambúrguer que já comi na vida. Talvez o fato de ter sido em Nova York tenha ajudado, mas a rede de fast food merece a fama e o sucesso.
Não pense que por gastar, em média, $ 10 com hambúrguer, batata frita e bebida, a qualidade seja comparada com um McDonald’s ou Burger King da vida. O pão é extremamente macio, o hambúrguer é suculento e saboroso e a maionese vem na medida certa. É muito melhor do que várias hamburguerias conceituadas que já fui no Brasil.
Se você vai aos EUA, não deixe de ter a experiência Shake Shack. Mas vá sem pressa, no horário do almoço sempre tem fila. Minha dica é ir um pouco mais cedo, perto das 12h, ou então, depois das 15h.

Delicious burgers, fries, and shakes! I ordered a shack stack burger, fries, and black and white shake. It was all so heavenly. The bun and the meat were so soft and tender, and the shake was the perfect combination of chocolate and vanilla. The view was amazing at the park as well.
The downside of this particular location: birds! Watch out for them because a bird swooped down and almost snatched my burger. And later, another bird pooped nearly missing my ketchup!
Delicious food, but guard it from the birds!

What else can I say except that I LOVE Shake Shack?! I’ve tried numerous other burger places in Seattle, SF, LA and I still would say hands down that my favorite burger place is Shake Shack. I’ve been to a few locations in NYC but this was the first place I tried it!
It’s located in Madison Square Park which is a beautiful park right next to the flat iron building. No matter what time of day you go, there is usually a long line. I remember the first time I went years ago, we waited maybe 45 minutes to an hour? Pretty crazy to wait outside (in the cold at the time) for that long for a burger right? But it’s so worth it!
I’ve tried their Shack Burger, SmokedShack, Shack Stack, cheese fries and their vanilla shake. Everyone was delicious and amazing! But I think my favorite burger they have is their Shack Stack that I tried recently earlier this year. Imagine a cheese burger with a fried portobello mushroom filled with cheese topped with lettuce and tomato, sounds amazing right?!
If you are in New York City you have to go here! You will regret it if you don’t. :)

This place reminds me a combination of a 5 Guys burger and an In-​and-​Out Burger. The best of both worlds, simply delicious. Shake Shack recently went IPO to raise capital for expansions across the US, what started in Madison Square park in 2004 has now expanded across the US. Once you try one of these burgers you will be wishing there was one around the corner from you.
I figured I needed to see what the hype was about, so glad I did. I waited in line maybe 20 mins on a Sat evening and after ordering my pager went off in about 5 mins. Its all out door seating in the park which was fine, it was a beautiful September evening in NYC. I ordered the double Shackburger with the crinkle cut fries and a vanilla shake. I am generally not a huge fan of crinkle cut fires since they tend to taste soggy to me, but man these were perfect. As I was eating this burger I kept asking myself, how can this be so good?! Must be the secret Shacksauce! haha
Super easy to get to from Times Square 42^nd Street Station, take the N or R downtown to 23^rd St which is 3 stops. You will not regret it!

Ah, the In-​n-​Out of the East Coast. If you’re visiting NYC, Shake Shack is a must-​visit! It’s popular amongst both tourists and locals, so you know it’s good.
I wanted to skip out on the long lines, so I went at 4pm on a Monday afternoon. There were only 5 people ahead of me and the food came out fast. I got the Shake Shack burger and cheese fries. It’s pretty pricey for just a burger ($ 7ish), but I definitely why its so popular! It’s a good and simple cheeseburger, though a little too salty for my taste.
The location (Madison Square Park) was perfect for my first Shake Shack experience :) My friend and I ate our burgers while enjoying a nice, cool breeze in the shade.

Excellent est le juste mot pour définir la qualité de leurs hamburgers sans oublier les frites. Le prix reste raisonnable mais il vous faudra être patient car l’attente peut être importante sauf si vous arrivez avant 18h00.

Je né vais pas faire une synthèse des 5200 avis, mais le Shake Shack de Madison Square doit être fait le soir a la nuit tombée, évidemment l’été. Je confirme l’excellence des hamburgers, les frites frittent à souhait, la gentillesse du serveur qui passé entre les tables, le lieu extraordinaire avec le Flatiron Building en ligne de mire, bref, c’est le mi-​mi, le ra-​ra, le miracle quoi ! (Pour ceux qui reconnaitront, ce n’est pas la me-​merde ;-))
Je recommande pour ceux et celles qui veulent se faire un dîner New-​Yorkais romantique sous les lampions du Madison Square :-)

Un sitio muy famoso de new york city, de ahí sus largas colas de espera en todos sus locales, puesto que se trata de una cadena, que no deje sin probar. La verdad que ver su larga fila de gente esperando frente al quiosco burger del madison park llaman la atención, y como no, invitan a ser uno de ellos. De ahí que me decidiera a esperar. Uno de los camareros se encargaba de traer vasitos de agua para sufrir un poco menos el tremendo calor, todo un detalle. Sobre la comida, un sabor agridulce. Me pedí la registrada shake shack burger. Sin duda hay que decir que sí estaba buena y sí tenia un toque especial, distinta, será esa salsa shacke shack… Pero merecíà la pena tanga espera??? Eso quizás ya no. Pero bueno, pude disfrutarla y quitar el misterio de mi mente. Sus precios por encima de comida rápida, pero mas bajo de otros tipo de hamburgueserías. En cualquier caso, mi recomendación, no dejes de probarlas si pasas por allí. Enjoy it!

De las hamburguesas de cadenas ésta es mi favorita, por lejos.
El local aparece en innumerables películas, y es especial para ir en verano al mediodía. Sentarte a almorzar en Madison Square Park es impagable.
Hay varios tipos de hamburguesas y me animo a decir que las probé a todas. Las mejores para mí son la simple SmokeShack (la doble ya es un poco mucho) y ‘Shroom Burger, una hamburguesa que en lugar de carne tiene un portobello relleno con queso, rebozado y frito, LA GLORIA. Las papas fritas comunes para mí son las mejores papas que comí.
Suele haber mucha gente así que hay cola y espera pero una vez que te toman el pedido y pagás te dan un aparatito que va a vibrar y hacer luces cuando tu pedido esté listo, para que te acerques a buscarlo.
Sin dudas repetí y repetiré cada vez que pise Nueva York.

Las mejores hamburguesas que comí en mi vida. Lo que más extraño de mi paso por NYC, las necesito acá!
Pidas lo que pidas va a ser increíble, nunca vas a olvidar ese sabor, delicia!
Los locales están muy bien ambientados y son muy grandes. Siempre está lleno y hay que esperar que te entreguen el pedido algunos minutos, pero juro que vale la pena cada minuto (y cada dólar también).
No son loooo barato, pero es accesible y hay que probarlas sí o sí!

Un incontournable aux US! Je prends le végé ! Un burger assez bon avec une galette grille a l’aubergine il me semble étai cœur coulant de cheddar !!!

Super dans un parc, tout est exquis incontournable et c’est l’original à né pas manquer

Se que hay varios Shake shacks pero ya estuve en este un par de veces y me parece todo genial!
El lugar es lindisimo, no muy tranquilo pero bastante relajado. En este viaje vine de dia pero he venido anteriormente de noche y es encantador!!!
Lo mejor: el pancito de las hamburguesas!!! Super blandito y un poco dulce. Y las papas con forma que tienen mas superficie crocante que una papa comun!
Lo peor: todo el mundo quiere comer aca. Fila para pedir, espera larga para la entrega, dificil conseguir mesa…
Asi y todo, volveria una y mil veces mas!

Hay para agregar algo mas a esta joya de la gastronomía urbana? Voy a ser redundante pero tienen un servicio muy bueno y unas hamburguesas increíble.
El truco esta para mi en en pan estilo casero que los distingue. Las salsa también tienen un toque especial.
Un consejo es ir con la idea de que menú pedir, así se puedo hacer más rápido dado que hay una cola dedicada a aquellos que no dudan, sino te mandan atrás y a llorar a la iglesia. Los locales son chicos y siempre están completo, a armarse de paciencia.

Deliciosas hamburguesas! En lugar suele estar bastante lleno y hay que hacer cola para hacer el pedido, pero avanza súper rápido y, de todos modos, vale la pena la espera! Las papas con queso son muy ricas y las hamburguesas deliciosas!

Lors de mes visites à NYC, une adresse incontournable: shake shack !!! Les burgers sont délicieux, vraiment excellents ! Les frites sont au top et j’adore y aller!!!

Había oído hablar mucho del Shake Shack y la verdad que le tenía ganas aunque yo no sea mucho de hamburguesas.
Expectativas más que superadas. Impresionante, saben deliciosas.
Las mejores hamburguesas que he comido nunca por ese precio ($ 4).
He repetido un par de veces en diferentes locales en mis dos viajes a New York y en todos ellos, a pesar del rato de cola para pedir, he salido maravillada de lo buenas que están.
Si tienes tiempo de elegir, te recomiendo éste, el de E 23^rd St & Madison Ave, que al estar en medio del parque el ambiente es más chulo.

Muchos me la nombraron como la mejor hamburguesería de Manhattan. Y alcanzó mis expectativas. Deliciosas hamburguesas y no dejen de probar los shakes.

Regrese y me gusto
(Prueba)

l’incontournable Shake Shack et ses multiples adresses dans New York et l’original situé dans le cadre apaisant du Madison Square Park.
A la caisse toutes personnes se voit remettre un boitier qui vibre et s’illumine de petits points rouges dès que la commande est fin prête.
J’aurais pu m’éviter une queue avec de nombreuses personnes comme moi qui avaient hâte de gouter à leurs recettes mais finalement j’ai pas trainé trop longtemps. Je voulais vraiment que ce soit dans ce cadre qui vaut bien la peine d’attendre.
J’ai choisi le shackburger, proportionné comme il faut tenant bien en main et né se mangeant pas trop vite. Le très bon pain qui le compose étant selon moi une clé essentiel de sa réussite. Les frites en accompagnement sont chouettes également mais à éviter avec la sauce fromage assez écœurante à force.

Aller à NY sans manger chez Shake Schack c’est comme venir à Paris sans manger de croissant. Incontestablement le meilleur fast food que j’ai pu essayer, les burgers sont à tomber (il y a même une version végétarienne). Celui de Madison permet de manger dans le parc avec vue sur le Flatiron. Pour 15 $ on a un double cheeseburger, des frites croustillantes et pas trop grasses et une boisson. Les milkshakes au beurre de cacahuètes sont délicieux aussi, le hot dog est épicé juste ce qu’il faut et agrémenté d’oignon frais et de pickles.
La queue peut sembler décourageante mais ça vaut largement le coup d’attendre d’autant plus que le personnel est assez efficace pour que ça avance vite. Si le temps d’attente vous semble trop long à Madison, il y a d’autres Shake Shack à Times Square et Grand Central. Mais celui ci à l’avantage de permettre de manger dehors. Quoiqu’il en soit né quittez pas NY sans avoir goûter un de leur burger.

New York’s Gegenstück zu In’N’Out Burger und es kann sich sehen lassen. Die Burger und auch die Pommes sind super lecker und die Wartezeit trotz langer Schlangen angemessen.
Für ein «Franchise”-Unternehmen wirklich gut aber ich habe auch schon bessere Burger gegessen. Deswegen die 4 Sterne.
Meine Empfehlung: Der SmokeShack.

Très bon burger, recommandé par une américaine. Elle né s’y est pas trompée! Le cadre est très sympa. Pour la part ce fut un smock burger: épice, avec du bacon et le steak est très bon.
Seul bémol: la queue! On a voulu prendre un dessert mais nous avons été découragé.
Et pour les gros mangeurs d’hommes, ils ont trouvé que ce n’était pas assez.

Pendant mon cours séjour a new york, je savais qu’il fallait absolument essayé se petit resto. Nous avons pris le smoke burger avec frite et frite au fromage. tout étais delicieux, le smoke burger était epicé mais pas trop juste assez .Que dire des frite une des meilleures que j’ai mangé. C’est un incontournable

Su gran fama mundial lo dice todo!
El sitio súper divertido parece un acto social, va todo tipo de personas y las hamburguesas geniales, riquísimas con toda personalidad y llenas de sabor
No le pongo 5 para que no se lo crean y se sigan esforzando!!!

Impossible de séjourner à Manhattan sans faire un passage au shacke shack!
Soyez courageux, il y a tjs une longue file d’attente (Grace à un système de boitier, ça avance tjs plus vite qu’on l’imagine)
Rien de plus à dire, tout s’explique à la première bouchée.
Le suppl. fromage sur les frites n’est pas nécessaire.
L’endroit: situé dans madisson garden (en extérieur donc) les tables sont également accessibles l’hiver grace à un service de chauffage.
Né soyez pas surpris si un écureuil tente sa chance avec vos frites

Muy bueno, pero demasiado lleno

Köstlich! Leider war bis jetzt immer sehr viel los, so dass ohne Anstehen nichts geht.

Le burger est définitivement l’un des meilleurs de NY.
Les frites nappées de cheddar m’ont en revanche un peu déçu.
Autre bémol, la queue est assez longue, généralement plus d’une demi heure (pour ma part 25 minutes mais j’y suis allé à 5pm).

Einwandfreier Burgerladen im Madison Square Park in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Flat Iron Building. Die Burger und Fries sind super. Man muss zwar meistens lange anstehn, aber es lohnt sich. Bei schlechtem Wetter ist es ungünstig, da man sich nicht «reinsetzen» kann. Sozusagen ein Burger — Biergarten. Lecker und eine NYC-​Institution

Einfach nur genial! 5 Sterne! Lecker, lecker, lecker! Hin da!
Tipp: Wer sich abends (vll nach dem Besuch des Empire State Buildings ganz in der Nähe) zwischen 21 – 22 Uhr hierhin verirrt, muss nicht so lange warten und bekommt vll Burger, die noch etwas medium und frisch sind!

Der wahrscheinlich leckerste Burger in Town. Die Warteschlange erscheint einem lang, aber es lohnt sich wirklich. Leckere Burger und leckere Milchshakes.

Ich habe noch nie zuvor so einen leckeren Burger gegessen.
Wahnsinn!
Die Atmossphäre inmitten des Parks mit einer beeindruckenden Eichhörnchen-​Population war einfach nur schön.
Ich hoffe bald wiederzukommen!!!

Un super endroit en plein air (à côté de Flatiron) pour manger un très bon burger (le smokeshack en ce qui me concerne) avec des frites nappées de cheddar.
Le dessert, une frozen custard au peanuts butter et aux morceaux de bananes, était un régal.
La demi heure de queue pour commander son repas vaut le coup d’être faite, d’autant que l’on vous remet le menu pour que vous puissiez décider tranquillement ce que vous allez manger.

Klasse Ort, so mitten im Park und bei schonem Wetter ideal zum draußensitzen.
Burger war gut. Rechtzeitig da sein und Schlange schauen.

Der beste Burger in New York. aber bitte bedenken 1 h Wartezeit mitbringen. aber es lohnt sich.

The best Bio Burger (meat or veggie mushroom — delicious) in a perfect place.
You’ll have to arrive early as there is always the line because of its success.
I always go eat something there every time I go to NY

Shake it, shake it baby. one two three, baby you got me!!! Eigentlich kein FastFoodFän, aber Burger und Pommes muss mal sein. Aber keine vertikale Kette, ja? Ok, hier aber !!
In lauschiger Biergartenatmosphäre steht man unter der Woche gg. 20.30h vielleicht eine halbe Stunde in der Schlange, bis man sich nach der Order im Kiessteinchengarten ein Plätzchen sucht. Dann wartet man gebannt und starrt regungslos, atemanhaltend auf die Remote Control und versucht sie mittels Gedankenkraft zum vibrieren und blinken und diskodiskoangeschnalltesgehtgleichlos zu bringenund dann passierts wirklich.
Der Himmel leuchtet! no honey, das ist die Biergartenlichterkettenbeleuchtung Auch gut, hol jetzt das Essen! In einer Pappbox wird alles tetrismäßig fein gestapeltgestopft ausgehändigt und begeistert beim verputzenüberhaupt die Location. Ja wirklich*

Muy agradable si hace un buen dia. El batido de chocolate es el mejor que he probado. Las hamburguesas sencillas, no muy grandes pero sabrosas. Relacion calidad-​precio muy buena.

Para muchos es la mejor hamburguesería de Manhattan, y probablemente sea así, aunque hay tantas buenas que es difícil decidir.
Los que sí está claro es que Shake Shak es un peligro y una tentación, porque todo está bueno. Las hamburguesas son jugosas y de carne de calidad, y aunque la variedad no es mucha tampoco hace falta. La apuesta más alta es pedir la Shak Stack, con queso frito relleno de champiñones. Sin duda es de lo mejor que habrás probado en hamburguesas, aunque tu colesterol probablemente no esté muy de acuerdo. Las cheesy fries, a diferencia de otros sitios donde son una fritanga incomible, son deliciosas. Si de verdad tienes hambre como para hacer un completo, lo ideal es hacer como Danny Zuko en Grease y pedir un batido para beber.
Una advertencia: a este lugar no se puede ir con prisas, ya que sus colas son famosas. Ya que el lugar es un kiosko en mitad de Madison Square Park, si hace buen tiempo la espera es agradable, ya que la plaza alberga algunos de los edificios más bonitos de Manhattan. Las mesitas para comer en mitad del parque son más que apetecibles en días de primavera o noches de verano.

Ich habe sowohl die Filiale im Madison Square Park als auch die in der 8^th Ave (
) getestet.
Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen: Die Amerikaner können Fast Food! Und: Vergesst Mc Donalds.
Auch wenn es hier etwas teurer ist als beim großem M und bei Burgerking lohnen sich die extra Dollar ganz bestimmt, was man auch an der abartigen Warteschlange im Madison Sq. Park sieht, die sich um die Mittagszeit vor Shake Shack Burger bildet:
(Siehe Foto unten)
Ob sich das Warten von über einer halben Stunde lohnt, ist eine andere Frage. Allerdings war traumhaftes Wetter und wo sonst kann man Deluxe Burger, gute Pommes, leckeren Eistee und verboten süße Shakes in so einer idyllischen Athmosphäre genießen? Vergesst McD, wirklich!
(Siehe Foto unten)
Wer aber noch bessere Burger und noch bessere Fries haben will, geht am besten zu 5 Guys (
) z.B. im West Village.

Da es in New York leider keinen In-​N-​Out Burger gibt, ist Shake shack eine angemessene Alternative!
Vom herrlichen Park Ambiente her, sogar eine bessere Alternative!
Da lohnt sich das Warten in der langen Schlange sogar bei Regen!
Cheesefries und der Shake shack Burgermmmh. ein Gedicht!

Wenn man sich vor Augen hält, daß die mittags elend lange Schlange überwiegend aus New Yorkern besteht, die sich hier ihre dreißigminütige Mittagspause um die Ohren hauen, um einen dieser Burger zu bekommen, dann wird dadurch klar: die sind nicht normal. Die Burger, meine ich. Durch die langsame Annäherung an den Kioskähnlichen Verkaufsstand bekommt man mit, welche Burger-​Variationen es gibt. Man bestellt und bezahlt, bekommt eine großes Plastikding in die Hand, setzt sich irgendwo in den Park und wartet. Nach ein paar Minuten vibriert das Ding, und dann tauscht man es gegen sein Essen ein. Die Burger sind nicht groß, ja: sie sehen nicht einmal besonders aus. Aber sie schmecken so, wie Burger schon immer schmecken sollten (aber es anderswo noch nie taten). Außerdem sitzt man im Park oder auf dem Broadway /​5^th Ave. und beguckt sich New York. Herrlich.

Es una hamburguesería muy popular que siempre está llenísima de gente. Es difícil encontrar una mesa libre, la gente come de pie mientras espera por hacerse con un sitio. Aunque pertenece a una cadena de comida rápida, se aleja totalmente de otras como Burger King o McDonalds. Sus hamburguesas tienen una carne de buena calidad, carne picada a diario y siempre fresca.
Los precios son muy asequibles. Se puede comer una hamburguesa, patatas y bebida por menos de 10 $.
Recomiendo las patatas fritas con queso, realmente deliciosas.
También tiene milkshakes y postres.

Cadre magique au cœur de Madison square.
Attention le Shake shak est victime de son succès ! File d’attente garantie à toute heure
Mais la patiente paillera car leurs burgers sont délicieux ! Et que dire des cheese fries

Très bons et très frais shakes et burgers. C’est une chaine de fast food et on fait la queue devant, mais ça vaut la peine. C’est vraiment meilleur que son concurrent mondiallement déployé. Après avoir payé, on vous donne un buzzer qui vibre et s’illumine quand votre commande est prete. Je suis suffisament infantile pour trouver ça rigolo. Pardon: o)
La photo par contre n’est pas conforme.

Es gibt 2 Shake Shacks in NYC. Einer in der Columbus Ave, der andere direkt im Madison Square Park am Flatiron.
Wir waren im zweiteren, da zentraler gelegen.
Es gab eine Riesenschlange… mit Recht!!!
Der Burger ist nicht so gross verglichen mit den anderen Double-​/​Triple-​/​Quadrupel-​Burgers, die man so bekommt.
Das Paddie legger medium, schön fluffig, nicht so zusammengebacken. Die Pommes richtig kross, heiss und frisch.
Der Hopscotch-​Nachtisch ging schon durch den puren Anblick direkt auf die Hüften.
Man kann schön aussen sitzen im Park und die Eichhörnchen beim Mülltonne ausräumen und Pommesessen zusehen.
HINGEHEN HINGEHEN HINGEHEN!!!

Der Madison Square Park an sich ist ja schon was Feines, ein richtig nettes Plätzchen zum Ausruhen im Großstadtgetümmel. Wer kurz vor 11 Uhr am Shakeshack steht kommt auch relativ zügig dran und kann sich seinen Monsterburger bestellen. Mein Freund fand ihn hervorragend und nach zehn Minuten war er schier am Platzen weil diese Dinger einfach unglaublich stopfen. Ich habs bei Pommes belassen die auch seeehr sehr lecker waren. Irgendwie scheint das der legendärste Burger der Stadt zu sein, die Schlage ist ab der Mittagszeit jedenfalls so lang, dass man locker eine Stunde anstehen muss. Und: Beware of the squirrels! Die setzen sich gern mal dreist auf deinen Schoß und essen mit dir mit, egal was auf dem Speiseplan steht. Und sie haben kalte Pfoten!

Le prix du meilleur burger de NY revient à Shake Shack. J’ai passé deux ans là-​bas et c’est le bilan que je peux en faire. :-)
Il y a plusieurs Shake Shack a Manhattan mais le seul que j’ai testé est celui que j’avais à coté de chez moi au Madison Square Park.
Il y a une queue souvent très longue, je conseille donc fortement d’y aller à des heures incongrues (du type 15h ou 16h). Vous etes assis en plein air, superbe vue sur toutes les tours environnantes (Flatiron, Empire State Building, …) et degustez le plus gros burger de la carte (le plus cher aussi, il doit etre a 10 12 doll), sa sauce aux champigons /​fromage est un délice.
Vraiment le burger à faire à NY (meme si attention, c’est super gras et il faut etre patient, la queue est vraiment très longue).

Schräg gegenüber zum Flatironbuilding steht die angesagteste Burgerbude von NYC.
Was hier als Würstelbude daherkommt, ist eine feine Mischung aus Hippness, guten Wuerstelwaren, perfektem Produktdesign und Detailsorgfalt (man bekommt z.B. einen Pager, der shaked wann das eigene Essen zur Abholung bereit ist). Für Leute die gerne gutes Fastfood oder auch einen gut ausgeführten Businesscase zu Mittag haben — die ideale Wahl.

Este es un kiosko en mitad de Madison Square Park donde sirven hamburguesas, perritos calientes, patatas fritas antes de nuestro viaje a N.Y. lo vimos anunciado en algunas revistas y al llegar allí en algunas ocasiones que pasamos por allí las colas para pedir eran tan grandes que pensamos que tenía que ser algo especial y nos prometimos comer allí un día. Finalmente una mañana muy fría en que vimos que la cola era menos espectacular nos decidimos a comer allí. Hay que decir ahora que no hay un comedor como tal ya que está al aire libre, con lo cual tienes o unas mesitas que el Shake Shack instala junto al kiosko o todo el parque a tu disposición.
La comida no nos pareció tan extraordinaria como para pasar tanto rato de espera, la verdad. Cierto es que nuestra hamburguesa estaba riquísima, en lugar de carne (que también las hay) estaba hecha con hongo portobello, pero aún así no haría 2 horas de cola (os aseguro que las hacen) para comerla. Como he dicho anteriormente, además de hamburguesas hay perritos, ensaladas, patatas (probad las que llevan queso fundido por encima), helados podréis ver todo el menú completo en un cartelón que hay antes de llegar a pedir.
Una vez que hagáis el pedido os darán un aparatito que vibrará y pitará cuando lo tengáis preparado para que volváis al kiosko a buscarlo.
Nosotros pagamos por dos hamburguesas, unas patatas y dos cervezas unos 25 dolares (hablo del año 2008)…
