Came here for quick lunch on a Friday afternoon. Typical Shake Shack burger spot. Clean, well maintained and not too out of the ordinary. They have parking in the back but the entrance is a bit tricky. You may miss it if you try too fast on Rt. 17. We ordered a couple classic shack burgers, 2 fries and a shake. They don't take Apple or wireless pay at the moment. Waited for the buzzer to go off. Overall the food was done right. Cheese comes side of the fries. Service is normal and as well as expectations. Good for that burger and shake itch. read more

Really hoping they got my order wrong on this one. A single cheeseburger and an order of fries was 12.46$ The food was outstanding, but 12.46$??? Doesn't make sense. The burger was gone in 4 bites lol read more

Can't go wrong with the Shack Stack® which is a cheeseburger and a 'Shroom Burger topped with lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce™. 800 cal (10.49) Very pricey for a burger, but to be honest it hit the spot for my boyfriend and I along with a side of fries. The fries were okay, the burger is where it's at! I love the fried portobello mushroom with cheese that comes with the burger. Yum! It's a Crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted muenster and cheddar cheeses. I'm telling you, once you bite into it, it oozes with cheese. I'm not even a fan of mushrooms, however this burger always reels me in. Atmosphere is nice. A lot of families, friends and couple just grabbing a bite. The manager of the place was nice enough to ask how everything was going. One suggestion I would make is the bathroom trashcan. It has a lid which I understand maybe keeping the smell inside? But I had to throw away other people's paper towels because they left it on the lid. I would use an open bin or just have a hand dryer. read more

I walked in here around 3pm after eating only a banana all day and tore my shroom burger UP. I like burgers, don't get me wrong, but their shroom burger is on another level. It's like a juicy lucy and soon as you bite into it, the hot munster cheese instantly runs out of the center and it's food porn. The crunchy panko crust gives amazing texture and you forget that you're actually eating a vegetable burger. The only con is that I dished out almost $46 for 3 people. Honestly, we all could've eaten 2 more of those easily... But then it would be like $100 bucks! But it's soooooo good!!!!!!! read more

Can't go wrong with a shake shack burger. Always fresh and juicy. I been to a few shake shack locations. And this was a really good one. Friendly staff and quick service. With delicious food. I got the shack burger with no shack sauce. And added bacon. With a coffee fair shake. 10 min later the burger came out perfectly cooked and juicy. Tender with every bite. Even the bacon was cooked good. The fat was rendered nicely. And the coffee fair shake was creamy cold with a nice thickness. The rich coffee taste came through and it was total deliciousness. If ur in the mood for a burger don't hesitate to come here. read more

It felt really strange to walk into Shake Shack and not wait in a long line to order or hover over other people in order to snag a table. Our experience is mostly with the Shacks in Manhattan, and while it has gotten better with the expansion and all the new branches, we're really not used to having such a quick ordering experience or so much seating. Pretty nice aspect of the suburban Shacks. The food is pretty much the same burgers and hot dogs and chicken sandwiches and fries, fairly standard across the Shacks these days. Just felt really good not to wait! read more

After years of wanting to eat at a Shake Shake but skipping it due to frustratingly long lines in the Madison Square Park location in NYC, the opportunity finally presented itself at the Paramus location. And it didn't disappoint! Was lucky to visit just after the lunch crowd, so we encountered no line and fast, friendly service. The inside was cute and clean. I had a single cheeseburger, meat was juicy and flavorful and didn't resemble a hockey puck. Hubs had a stuffed portobello burger which was amazing. We shared an order of crinkle fries and a chocolate shake which was thick and delicious. I get what all the buzz is about - this was fast food done right! read more

I don't know, man. There used to be a luster with the thought of going out to Shake Shack. Maybe the novel appeal has worn off. Maybe it's that the competition has gotten better. Maybe the quality has gone down as they've expanded. Maybe it's the long waits for in store orders due to high volume Door Dash orders. I can't say with certainty, but I don't get excited about Shake Shack anymore. It's still good, but is that really enough to warrant their prices and the 20 minute wait? read more

I didn't realize that I was supposed to place a large order through Shake Shack's catering team 3 days in advance. Since I missed the deadline, I placed a huge order by splitting it between their website and door dash. The team at this location is AWESOME! They got my last minute large catering order out perfectly on time and they were really really nice to me (even though I probably screwed up their day). Highly recommend this location. They are wonderful people! read more

One of my favorite burger spots. That Shroom Stack will do something to ya. This location is a little deep into 17 from where I'm at but well worth the drive. Spacious, fresh, clean and they have a parking lot so it beats going to the mall and dreadfully having to search for a spot amongst all of the consumers. Anyways, I love their fries (nice and crispy) and always get the cheese on the side so I can dip them in. Yumm. They are always busy but efficient in getting orders in and out. Fresh ingredients and you can't go wrong with any of their burgers. read more

Updating after Shake Shack kindly reached out to me and offered for me to come back and give them one more try! I'm certainly happier this time as our food was not cold like the prior visit. This time we went with the BBQ bacon burger, Shack Cago dog, 2 fries, soda, and a strawberry milkshake. We were very pleased and I have to admit the Shack Cago dog was surprisingly very good! The shake was excellent and thick - kind of reminding me how McD's used to make their shakes back in the day when you had to put some effort into getting the shake to first travel up the straw lol Fries are still borderline perfect here! Overall, a much more satisfying experience and I've increased my review an additional star! I do want to mention corporate's customer service is truly outstanding! They get 10 stars! They reached out and even followed up weeks later to ensure they made my experience better. Kudos to them! read more

Wife and I stopped in for lunch today and I must say that by the time we left we were less than impressed with this Shake Shack. The check in process to give our order went smoothly; no problems there. We were able to find an empty table so we sat, even though the table had not been cleaned. Here's the first (and most important) issue with this restaurant. We got there around 2:00. In the 45 minutes were there (20 of it waiting for our food) WE DID NOT SEE ONE PERSON CLEANING THE TABLES, including ours. In this age of COVID that is unforgiveable. When my name was finally called to pick up my food, I noticed that they forgot to include the shake we had ordered. No big deal; I showed the guy my receipt and figured they would make one up for me. Nope. He just went to the refrigerator and pulled out a ready-made one; it even had the whipped cream on it already! I took it, but I was not happy. The burger and fries were OK, but we already had a bad taste for this location. Don't think we'll be back here. read more

I was thoroughly disappointed in my experience. I have never stopped at this Shake shack and it was the worst experience ever. Not only was our food like warm, my drink had no ice and my boyfriends shake was melted and subpar. There is no excuse for food not coming out in a decent temperature in order for someone to enjoy a hot meal, even if it is sitting in the parking lot and eating. I don't think I would return to eat here... such a shame. read more

I've had better service at other shake shacks. A couple ordered their food after me and got it before me. I only had a sandwich and a shake WTF?! The food is consistent with all the other shake shacks, I wish their service was. As I finish this another person got their food before me and he was after the couple.... wow and as I wait I'm editing this and a FAMILY just got their food... I'm reducing the stars... read more

Shake shack is a step up from your every day fast food good chain. Ready within minutes and most importantly, delicious. That's why I love coming to shake shack. I can always count on them to have a juicy burger and some of the best perfectly salted fries. Honestly, you can't go wrong coming here. I've always said it , if I'm in need of a good burger I know shake shack won't let me down. It's nothing too fancy, but you can't beat the quality of this burger compared to fast food restaurants! I will say that shake shack before used to give bigger burgers, for some reason now they have become smaller in size. So I do find myself finishing my burger in a couple bites. Do I recommend this place ? Yes ! If you want to get away from your regular fast food burgers definitely gives shake shack a go ! read more

Ate here for friend and family day. The burger was amazing ! Perfectly cooked! Juicy and delicioussss ! The fries were good and the cheese that came with the fries was like a nacho cheese which was good too. Had a lemonade that was perfectly sour. A strawberry milkshake that was not too thick and not too thin and tasted fresh. Also had a sample of the chocolate custard that was too good it tasted like gold. Definitely coming back. I'm super happy they put one in New Jersey finally!!! Note: Parking lot is a small size! When it's full don't park at Verizon, they will tow your car !! read more

I just have to say that the shroom burger really gets neglected. Everyone posts photos of the burgers and cheese fries and leaves the shroom burger in a pile of loneliness. The shroom burger is actually amazing. A fried mushroom that has melted gooey cheese all over it? I mean I have had the shack burger before and the shroom burger just blows it out of the water. If you're reading this review stop...and order the shroom burger. Seriously. Do it. read more

Stopped here after a football game. Usually we give Popeyes our business since it's on 17 on the way back upstate but figure we might as well give shake shack a try even though it was out of the way. Manage to get in there before the rush and ordered a couple of burgers and a couple chicken sandwiches: I had the extra hot. Being my second time to a shake shack the burger was probably as good as in and out but had a more beefier flavor. I would say the overall taste and the way he was crafted would put it ahead of in and out by your nose. the fries are definitely better than In-N-Out that's for sure. But let's talk about that extra hot chicken sandwich. Absolutely delicious I could have gotten two more and been more than satisfied. Great service, quick turnover on the food and definitely a memorable experience at this location. read more

One of the two Shake Shacks at the moment in Paramus. It gets kind of busy but people move along quickly. So if you have a large party, waiting for a table isn't terribly long of a wait. Staff is courteous and efficient. Like other locations, you'll get a buzzer for when your food is ready so that you aren't lingering around. The food itself is good, great taste for a slightly premium price but if you know that you like it, it's worth it. They often have limited-time burger and/or shake specials, so be sure to try those out. You won't always be stuck eating the same burger every time you visit. However the bathroom at this location is a little weird. It seems like a multi-person restroom but apparently they're for one person at a time. Read the sign when you get there. read more

Shake Shack 479 Route 17 South - Paramus - I get cheese fries. Every time. - Burgers Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

If you have been to the Shake Shack in NYC, I can say that this New Jersey location is similar, and a good alternative than going all the way to NYC if I have a Shake Shack craving. The "Shack Stack" at Shake Shack is one of my most delicious burgers I've ever had in relation to it's price. A Shack Stack is a combination if their ShackBurger and 'Shroom Burger. The combination of burger meat and the "'Shroom" which is a fried portobello mushroom filled with muenster/cheddar cheese, is such a GREAT combination! This is my go-to burger every time I go here! I have tried the SmokeShack to try something different, which is also good, but for me, it pails in comparison to the Shack Stack. In addition, what buys me into Shake Shack are the Frozen Custards and Concretes. I always successfully fulfill my sweet tooth craving if I am at a Shake Shack. The shakes are all good and use high quality ingredients. The concretes are soooo delicious too, with my favorite being the Hopscotch (Vanilla custard, caramel sauce, chocolate toffe, and dark chocolate chunks)! Furthermore, they always have a daily special concrete of the day, so if you see that the special concrete may make your tastebuds tingle, then definitely try it! I have not been disappointed with a special concrete yet! The only thing that makes this NJ Shake Shack not the same as it's NYC counterparts is their french fries. The fries here at natural cut fries, which are different than the Shake Shacks in NYC and unfortunately, I like the fries at the NYC locations better. I'll likely just get a Shack Stack and a shake/concrete as long as the fries stay how they are. The interior here is great, they really do try to keep an NYC feel with the benches and stools they have here. In my opinion though, the idea going to Shake Shack in NYC is it's ideal atmosphere, the crazy hustle-bustle feel that is all around you. However, I will not deny that having a Shack Shake here is definitely convenient in terms of satisfying my stomach! ---- P.S. For the first month of opening at least, I would try to avoid the weekend peak hours until the "Shack Shack opening in Jersey hype" goes down. There is not enough parking spots to handle all the people that want to go in and they then would make you leave the parking lot, reenter Route 17, and try to reenter again. I was unlucky to go on a Saturday, but lucky enough to drive around and catch someone as they were leaving. There were a bunch of people who were not as lucky. read more

The best part of having a Shake Shake in NJ is that I can actually have their burger without waiting in line for over an hour. The key is to get here before the rush, which will make the experience 10x better. (I feel like peak time is around the clock at the MSP location). We had no problems parking and upon entering was already placing my order. I had the SmokeShack burger that had bacon, cheese, chopped peppers, and their special sauce. It had a nice kick. The patty itself was juicy and cooked perfectly. I was surprised to find out they use Martin's potato buns, just ordinary bread from the supermarket, but for some reason it tasted better here. I bet they add butter. It could have used another minute toasting though. The fries seemed plain to me perhaps because I'm used to fries with rosemary or truffle oil or Parmesan like those served at the other burger joints. However, simple works too. Unfortunately for Shake Shack the market is saturated with burgers in this area so I can't promise to be loyal. read more

I came here during an off peak time so I my food came out really quick. They forgot my fries but my receipt clarified everything. The food taste the same to the locations in NYC. And Shake shack is better than In and out. My gripe is that the bottle water is $2.30 and the fries are $3.00. I should have drank the tap but saving the world ain't cheap! (1% of water proceeds goes towards some charity). And fries don't grow trees. Water/Diamond paradox. All I'm saying is the water should not be so damn high and please don't jack up the fries price. I ate the hot dog, bacon pepper cheese burger and fries there. I took the cheeseburger single home for my sister. I had to double up on my burpees at home. read more

Stopped by last week bc I was in the area. Haven't had shake shack ina while and it use to be 1 of my fav burger spots. Probably won't be back for a while. Food was ok. Service was terrible. Just some kids that try not to make eye contact with ppl at the front and register area. Could tell other customers were upset as well. read more

Its not the burgers i come for. Yes they are tasty but there are plenty of places to get great burgers these days. I'm here for the sweets. Sweet ladies and sweet treats! The Apple Pie Shake is incredible. It's not apple season so idk why it's the shake of the month or whatever but i am in love! The texture was delightful in my mouth. I hate when the pie taste soggy. Now that Bergen County Concrete damn near flooded by basement! Try it! Tell me you don't have the same experience! Service: Everyone I came in contact with was more than friendly and interested in my satisfaction. When i went back up to place my takeout order the cashier remembered my name "Christina with a C" she said with a huge smile. Even the guy collecting the trash and trays was extra smiley and asked how everything was. On a bad day I'd come here just for the sweets and smiles. Tips: Order the cheese on the side for your takeout fries so you can reheat them in the oven or in a pan to stay crisp at home. Order the concrete once you get your food so it's nice and solid when you dig into it. Otherwise it melts while you're eating your food. (It's still good melty just messy!) read more

I stopped in during the snowstorm because I saw there was no line. But the food has gotten saltier since my last visit! The burger is salty, but at least it's still edible. But my cheese fries were too salty for me to enjoy. I ended up throwing them out, and I freaking love cheese fries. Hopefully the food will have improved by my next visit. UPDATE** So I guess seasoned here means salty to me. Burger is still kinda salty. The cheese fries get saltier the later in the day it is, makes me think that the cheese sits in a bubbling tub all day. Not my first choice for a burger, but not my last either. read more

Hands down...One of my top five burger joints This location is a nice size....lots of tables and booths....as always they have 2 lines...one for All menus and the other for Shakes.....Reason why I gave 4 stars is because I was waiting on the express line for a shake and stood there for a bit....I asked the guy at the counter where do I order the shake....he said *pointing to the all menu items line* you need to order there.....I said but I'm on the express line.....he's like there no such thing....They need to train their employees better especially Frontline staff. Other than that I love their burgers...my faves: Shake Stack Cheese fries Chicken and Shack Salted Caramel Shake Food is always spot on for me.....especially their crinkle fries....mmmmm Till we meet again Shake Shack! read more

Shack Stack - this is my everything! I ordered the Shack Stack, Cheese Fries, and a Root Beer Float (don't judge me); my table did the same. I literally salivated like a dog at the dinner table when saw other patrons order this...do I dare say it...burger masterpiece? The order buzzer could not have come soon enough, as it was peak time for dinner. So why is the Shack Stack my everything? Well - lets start with the shroom burger - which is a fried portabello mushroom stuffed with cheese, coated in breadcrumbs, on top of a cheese burger, along with lettuce and tomato to make it 'healthier'. You then nearly get lock-jaw from the strain you put yourself trying to get all the goodness of the burger in 1 bite. Suddenly, more cheese oozes out of the mushroom as you bite into it, coating the burger with more cheese! The insanity - i know! Had I known the mayhem that would ensue - I probably would not have gotten cheese fries - although they were good too. Root Beer Float - no regrets - yolo...lol Ummm Yeah - I'll be back for sure. read more

Always reliable Shake Shack! I always enjoy a burger from here. This is my first time trying the Hot Chick'n! I got it Xtra Spicy with fries and Blood Orange Ginger Lemonade. I ordered it Xtra Spicy. It had some spice but was not too hot. It could have had more spice. Chicken was plump, juicy, and crispy. Also, there was the perfect breading to chicken ratio. Fries were perfect! Hot, crispy, and fresh. I love crinkle cut fries and am glad that this style is Shake Shack's choice. They just are great! The Lemonade was a nice tangy flavor with lots of Ginger and Blood Orange flavors. Food came out quick, no concerns. read more

I placed an order online at 4:30 on your app for 6pm so my food can be ready on time. I've been standing outside for the past hour waiting for my sandwich. I don't know if you're slaughtering a chickens back there but I don't think a sandwich and chicken bites should take over an hour especially when I placed the order hours ago. Update now 7:25 and I complained about the wait and I got a "oh I'll make it now". I used to love shake shack but it's definitely not worth waiting over an hour especially since I pre-ordered to save time. I've worked in the food industry and I can tell when a place stops caring. Update :- Yay waiting an hour got home and my order is wrong. Paramus shake shack you guys are disappointing. read more

This is the better of the two Shake Shack's in Paramus. The burgers are never dry, the fries are always perfectly salted and warm, and there's plenty of seating since it's not at the mall. Mobile ordering always keeps things quick and efficient, but even if you stand on the line, it moves quick. The condiment area is always well stocked and clean, which makes a huge difference. GSP Shake Shack could definitely get some training from this location. read more

Visited this location for the first time. It was a little hard to find because it's tucked in and covered by the neighboring building. We had to circle around Rt 17 and slow down to not miss the entrance again. But anyway, a full menu of shake shack's finest. I ordered the single smoke shack burger while my fiance ordered the double original burger. We shared a side of regular fries and a large drink. Tip: ask for no ice in your drinks. They loaded ours up with ice and we barely had any soda. As for the burgers, they were delicious but I was still a little hungry afterwards... Probably should have went for the double. Their prep time was pretty quick. Although there was a huge order before us, we still got our food with 10 mins. read more

Meh, for the pricing I've never been blown away with the food here; nothing replicates the Madison Square Park location. Also the 50/50 here needs work, if the iced tea isn't sweet, then the lemonade needs more tart, as is its basically like drinking $4 water. Good news is that the two times Ive been here the location was clean and the staff is good. read more

It was okay. Ordered a few things but the chicken bites were salty and very greasy which I wasn't expecting because the fries were not greasy.

My first time at Shake Shack, my first time at this existing location. So I have to point out that that is what really gets it 5 stars in my book. When a place has existed and the food tastes like the restaurant just opened. Well then, you are doing something right. I wish more burger joints were cookin' with fresh ingredients. I ordered the Hamburger with Shake Shack Sauce (Yum Yum) and a Strawberry Milkshake. A lil pricey for my liking but I guess 'tis the times of super-inflation on even a burger. I spent $10.10 for two items. So I can only imagine how much I'm going to spend when I bring the family. To today's teenagers, I guess this would be considered an expensive first date --The Shake Shack LOL :-D But the veggies in my burger were all fresh, the bun quite tasty - sweet bread sorta, and quality meat. The shake not too thick, not too sweet...I am salivating now thinking about it....who knows I might be making a run to Shake Shack tonight. read more

It's okay. I mean, when it first opened, there were lines of cars on the highway. The burgers are pretty good. Not great, but good enough to justify the visit. The french fries are disappointing.

The staff here is always pleasant and I am happy this location never runs out of parking (even though the parking lot is small). It is located right off Rt 17 and it's kind of easy to miss... feel like it always pops up abruptly even though I am following the GPS. The food is reliably good - love all of their burgers and their fries. Gets decently busy during lunch but the line moves fast and the food comes out in a reasonably fast time (~10 minutes from time of order) - perfect for the work crowd! read more
