Joe C.

Shake shack makes pretty great burgers but this is the first time I had them cater anything. Honestly disappointed by the presentation and packing. I don't like the open packages and prefer my food fully wrapped in transit. I mean I'll dine but how they packages everything I probably would not get cater. All the burgers were touching and dripping on each other, the fries were open stacked so the bottom of the paper boat which most likely touched the counter is touching the fries.

Fun little place!
David F.

Such a fun little Shake Shack location! Not a ton of seating and a pretty loud ambiance, but awesome service (delivering the food right to you because space is very limited) and Shake Shack food is always consistently delicious. The wavy fries are salty and crispy golden goodness and the burgers are smashed and cooked to perfection. Conveniently located very close to the "bean," Grant Park, the art institute, and also not terribly far from the museum campus and other hot downtown locations. Worth a stop for a quick bite - but is quite busy during the lunch hour, so be prepared for a wait.

Quick, delicious, and open late! I stopped here after Riot Fest when most other options were closed, but was so pleased to stumble upon it. The staff was friendly, the signage was displayed well and helpful, and I truly enjoyed the way they converted the space! Made for a great nightcap, absolutely recommend! The peaches and cream shake is phenomenal.

Bbq burger, fries, Chicken Bites-
Anastazia V.

I placed a to go order and my food was ready very promptly! The location was about a 12 min walk from my hotel so I took my food back. It was delicious! No complaints. We don't have a shake shack where I live so this is always a treat. The burger was good and fresh, the fries were good and the chicken bites were delicious as well. Great meal. I would return!

This location lets the food sit so long in the window my burger was cold and my lemonade completely watered down.

Concord Grape Punch

I've wanted to try Shake Shack for what seems like forever. I finally got the opportunity during a trip to Chicago. I thought the atmosphere was very nice and seemed upscale for fast food. I ordered the Double Smoke Shack Burger ($11), with Crinkle Fries ($4), a large Concord Grape Punch ($5), and a Chocolate Shake ($6). Overall a little pricey, but I was expecting it. The burger was delicious. It practically melted in my mouth. I now understand the hype for these burgers. The fries were good, but also forgettable. The Punch was amazing, so good. The Shake was disappointing to me. I didn't really enjoy it. It was a little too rich. However I'm not a huge fan of Custard Ice cream so that could be it too. The service was good, a little chaotic, but they did a good job when really busy. Overall I would give 4 1/2 stars. Since I have to round it'll be a 4 star. Would I return? Absolutely. If they ever make it to Grand Rapids it'll be my #1 fast food burger place. Just not my Shake place.

OREO Cookie Funnel Cake Shake and Spicy Cheese Fries with Ranch
Nikith E.

Food was pretty average, as expected. I ordered the portobello mushroom burger, spicy cheesy fries, and the Oreo funnel shake. The fries were alright, but soggy. I asked for the cheese on the side, but it was put on the fries which made them soggy. The burger was okay. It was bland and smaller than I expected. The only redeeming quality of the order was the new Oreo funnel cake shake which was quite good. It had funnel cake pieces and Oreo in it and wasn't overly sweet. The service was as expected, the food was ready in about 15 minutes. The ambiance is what you expect from a fast food place like shake shack. Overall, it's what you would think of any fast food place!

Perfect.

Shake Shack is the best chain burger place in North America! The freshness of the patty with the brioche tasting bun with their sauce is perfection. My wife who doesn't eat a lot of meat or burgers was blown away. This location is in a really unique building which offers great ambiance. I wish Shake Shack expands to Canada because we drove all the way from Toronto and the this place was top on my list of eats. Will probably have a few more burgers and shakes before we leave. Oh ya, the shakes?!?! Amazing too!

If you are looking for a McDonald's type expérience in a burger without actually going into a McDonald's, this might be your spot. It's true that they offer truffle sauce, and it's actually pretty good, but the rest of my experience was sub-par. I'm disappointed because the shack is in a swanky hotel, and I admit that I had high hopes of something better. Well, that's okay. Not all places can be 5 stars, right? That's why we Yelp about it. You might still like it. It's entirely possible that I just ordered the wrong thing... Come in and decide for yourselves. You may love it. I did not.

We stopped by here for a quick bite after running some errands nearby. I appreciate the self service kiosk. It makes everything so much quicker since we already knew what we wanted to order. It's nice and clean and the service was pretty quick. I love the stack shack, with cheese fries, and the blood orange lemonade. The cheese ooze is my favorite part about this burger.

Chicken Shack-
Flora Z.

It is open late till 930 so it is one of the few options to get late dinner. The chicken Pattie's of the chicken shake is crispy outside, a little bit dry inside. The pickle, the potato bun and the sauce is great. Service is convenient. Desktop type-kiosks are available to place orders. Tipping is an option at this chain.

She is pescatarian so it was awesome that she was able to get a veggie dog Chicago style. She also had the Icelandic Dawg which she said was very good as well. My Chicago dog came out very fast but her veggie dog took about 10 minutes. I love how the location is close to magnificent mile so it was easy to grab the dogs then go back to shopping. If you need to take someone to get a Chicago dog I highly recommend Devil Dawgs!

The chicken strips were perfectly crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. You can tell they're made fresh -- not dry at all, just tender and flavorful with that golden crunch in every bite. The fries were just as good -- hot, crispy, and the perfect base for that cheese sauce. Speaking of the cheese... so smooth and rich, it honestly made the whole meal even better. And the devil sauce?? SO good. It has that perfect balance of heat and flavor -- not overwhelming, but definitely gives a little kick that keeps you going back for more. Everything together was just one of those simple but so satisfying meals. Perfect portions, great flavor, and exactly what you want when you're craving comfort food. Definitely would order this again -- no question.
