    ShackBurger-
    Caroline K.

    Got take out and food was great! They made our orders really quickly which was so appreciated. Really amazing burgers, tasting clean and with fresh ingredients. Portion sizes are perfect. Only downside is that there's no parking nearby this restaurant so takeout can be kinda a pain. If you're walking, you're fine. But otherwise, takeout kinda sucks if you have to park in the Ballston Quarter garage.

    SmokeShack-
    Ritvik N.

    Came here with a group. Due to event I got a free shake. I got the SmokeShack burger I believe -- with bacon -- and Strawberry specialty shake, maybe Strawberry Cupcake or similar. Shake was good and hit the spot on hot summer day with 90 degree weather. I was sweating bullets, so shake was good. Burger was too small portions. For the price I paid. I was expecting bigger, but despite that it filled me up. I suspect it was the inherent presence of meat -- beef and bacon -- as well as the fatty content. But even despite that, the portion sizes were on the smaller side. Bread, not enough. Same with meat lettuce tomato and everything else. Overall, good food and free shake was amazing and hit the spot. The portion sizes were on the smaller side, but otherwise good experience here at the Ballston Shake Shack.

    cheeseburger and fries delivered by DoorDash with shake sauce on the side

    I'm a DoorDash customer that gets the same thing over and over, a cheeseburger and regular fries. Even though I only eat well done burgers, they're never dry. That's a feat to achieve. They do fries right. It's all good. if I had a wish list to make it better I would say please put more ketchup in the bag and stay open an hour later during the work week. They are right on Wilson and parking is really tough all the tine. That's why I only do DoorDash even though they're pretty close. Best options are Metro to Ballston and or walking.

    ShackBurger with pickles and onion
    Nicole J.

    This was my first Shake Shake experience and I must say that it was a pleasant one! As soon as I walked in I was greeted with a smile and handed the order I placed through the app. I ordered a single Shack Burger, fries and their tiramisu shake. The tiramisu shake was good although it mostly just tasted like a vanilla shake with a ladyfinger cookie. Maybe mine was missing something. The description mentions notes of coffee and creamy mascarpone but I undetected neither. The fries were hot crinkle cut fries that I enjoyed and the shack burger looked great but fell short with me as far as taste goes. I added pickles and onion but something was still missing for me and it wasn't hot despite my picking it up promptly after ordering. Given their price point, I'm not sure if I'll get another burger but I will be back for fries and shakes. Maybe I'll try another menu item like one of their Shroom Burgers that look pretty good on their website.

    Chicken Shack-
    Joshua P.

    Service was great. Crew was friendly. The burger was fantastic, other than being greasy. Too bad it was a limited time menu item. The chicken sandwich was below disappointing. I didn't realize it was just one dry chicken strip inside the burger bun. Half the sandwich felt empty after you ate the one chicken strip.

    Getting the margins up with minimal lettuce and pickles...

    Okay, the hamburgers are good but the just dump out the burger and I guess there's a limit of 2 pickles per order along with a shortage of lettuce. Can't tell if the Avacado is scrimping the amount or not. I say it's a 2.5 star day at this SS, lower than what I see in the airport.

    Here's why I have to give Shake Shack some love: their touch screen ordering system is super. I was craving a snack recently and popped in at an off time. The ordering screens are right by the entrance. It was easy to navigate the menu and pay. Plus they ask for a phone number to text when your food is ready--no awkwardly hovering by the counter in a gaggle of people, trying to hear if you get called. The food at Shake Shack is good. Not the best burger or hot dog I've had in my life, but my recent cheeseburger hit the spot when I was hungry. I also got a delicious lemonade. The quality has been consistent on every visit. It's definitely on my list of options when I want something fast and indulgent.

    Tiramisu Shake

    Tiramisu shake is pricey but tasty! Fries slapped too with the sauce. Clean and staff are nice and have witty things to say. Cool place.

    Burger ,  fries  and a rootbeer

    I'm no longer a fan.. I understand that you close at 930, it's 9pm.. you blatantly lied to me telling me your GRILL was broken and there are NO Burgers.. while I was watching them clean that grill..

    Shake Shack never disappoints!

    Shake Shack is my favorite fast food burger spot. Quality varies from location to location, but usually always hits the spot compared to Five Guys etc. The way the cheese melts into the hamburger patty makes every single bite absolutely heavenly. When I feel like spending money, I go for the Shack Stack (shack burger combined with the shroom burger) and it is a GAME CHANGER! The quality shows and that is why it is a bit more expensive than the other fast food burger joints. Oh and don't even get me started on the Shake Shack vs In n Out war in California. In n Out = overrated. Team Shake Shack for life!

    I had the 'Shroom Burger and wow, literally so good. It was savory wasn't greasy but it was perfect
    Sujin Y.

    I had the shroom burger and it was so good. It wasn't greasy but still savory I highly recommend it!
