- Very busy during Friday dinner at this GSP location--there are plenty of tables and seating, but it still fills up quickly; space is large and open, with some bigger communal tables that work well for groups - Service is consistently excellent here; staff is friendly, attentive, and always checks in after the food arrives to make sure everything is good or if we need anything else - We tried the new limited-time Korean menu (BOGO deal with code SPICYSWEET): while the flavors weren't quite my personal favorite (I tend to prefer their classic items), everything was cooked perfectly and still packed with flavor; burgers are made to order, the chicken comes out hot and crispy, the cheese fries are smothered in gooey sauce, and the shakes are cold, thick, and the perfect sweet treat to finish the meal read more

Yum,yum, yum. The food is always good, and the shroom shack burger is always the one I get. And the kiosk makes everything easier, and allows you to add your number and yours promos, so be sure to check that out! We did try the chicken nuggets, and they were spicy (In a good way)! The extra sauce in the box is definitely French fry dip worthy. read more

Shake Shack has one of my favorite burgers ever, and Shake Shack Garden State Plaza did not disappoint! I ordered the Shack Stack (basically just a Shack Burger but with a fried mushroom on top), a double Shack Burger with pickles (my go-to), cheese fries (with cheese on the side), and a chocolate milkshake. It was my first time trying the Shack Stack and I am obsessed! The fried mushroom on top makes the burger taste even meatier and gives the burger a little more substance. It almost tasted like there were onion rings on top. The Shack Burger was perfect and loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and lots of cheese. The cheese fries were also awesome, and we got the cheese on the wide to keep things crispy. I also loved my chocolate milkshake, which was tasty and thick. The service was super friendly, and brought our meal right to our table, which I did not expect, especially since we ordered to-go. The inside was similarly very inviting and clean. This was SUCH a satisfying pit stop and I will definitely return. read more

This is incredibly embarrassing to admit - especially as a self-proclaimed burger lover - but I've never been to Shake Shack. At least, not until today, since my husband and I decided it was high time to make things right. There are three kiosks situated right at the front of the restaurant and these seem to be the main way to place an order, along with grabbing a numbered placard from the counter. You can still place an order at the register if you're paying cash (or craving real human connection), but I noticed workers aren't statically stationed by the register here; most are busy preparing food in the back. I actually liked the kiosk method of ordering, especially since it made it easy to order my burger just the way I wanted it. I'm told Shake Shack's gotten way more amenable to customization since their inception, and I found that to be true. I added an avocado to my Shack burger while my husband added an extra patty, and it was quick and easy to see the exact cost breakdown. The burgers themselves were good. In true smashed burger form, there were crispy edges that got a near bacon-like texture from the hot grill. That said, I fou This particular Shake Shack is located on the southeast corner of Westfield Garden mall (the side that faces Route 17), which can be both a good and bad thing. It's great on Sundays, when most of the mall is closed due to Bergen County blue laws and there's plenty of parking. On most Fridays and Saturdays, though, expect the crowds - both in the mall and in the parking lot. There are quite a few tables inside, and on super crowded days, there are a few 'indoor-outdoor' tables along the side of the restaurant (meaning technically outside the restaurant but still inside the mall) for spillover seating. read more

The story of this establishment is a classic American success story. What began as a small hot dog stand operating out of Madison Square Park in New York City in 2001 eventually grew into a gourmet fast-casual restaurant with more than 377 locations both domestically and internationally. Located at the corner of the East entry inside the Garden State Plaza mall, my partner and I decided on a quick lunch at Shake Shack after a hiatus of several years. Upon entering this modern and inviting interior with plenty of available tables both indoors and outdoors, their large menu displayed on the wall featured gourmet hamburgers, chicken, hot dogs, crinkle-cut french fries, and milkshakes. We were greeted at the counter and decided on the Shroom Burger, Avocado Bacon Chicken, Fries, with root beer and water to wash them down. The burger and chicken were juicy, cooked to perfection, and flavorful. The fries were fresh, crispy, and served hot. The service was good, as one of them brought the food to our table fairly fast. The price was comparable to the area. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every patron felt welcomed and valued. We can recommend this place. read more

Pretty good - the mall location at the East entry sandwiched at the corner by Macy's, service was reasonably quick at 11, and while I couldn't order ahead of time before the restaurant was open to pick up after 11a, they had 3 kiosks to order at and not much of a line so I was #3 in line to get food once I ordered. Smokeshack was excellent, double patty. The avocado bacon burger was on sale this weekend, which was ok, but didn't wow me like the Smokeshack or Stack Shack. Will be back! read more

Food like any other Shake Shack, but, the best part about coming here is the fact that they're open on Sundays when the rest of the Westfield Mall isn't. Our family has visited this Shake Shack location on Sundays more times than I can count and it has always been relatively quiet, especially at opening at around 11-11:30 AM. Most of the customers on Sundays comprise of families though, so if you can't stand kids, this might not be the best place to go. There are plenty of tables inside and you can even sit outside within the mall. The employees here have always been very friendly and accommodating when we request for extra sauces or utensils. They definitely exemplify the typical Shake Shack employee customer service. To summarize, this is basically our go to Shake Shack, although it IS much, much busier on Fridays and Saturdays as you can imagine, but Sundays are bliss. read more

I had such a great experience at Shake Shack thanks to Togel! He was incredibly efficient, handled multiple tasks at once with ease, and still managed to provide amazing customer service the entire time. He was beyond friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. It honestly looked like he was doing the job of multiple people while still keeping such a positive attitude. Employees like Togel are the reason customers come back. Thank you again for the outstanding service! read more

We were at this shakes shack to order a take out order for dinner. Store wasn't busy, we were able to put our order in right away using the kiosk. It took them more than 10 minutes to have order ready, even though it was only a shack burger, a shack chicken and fries. I found the store clean and organized while waiting there. The food was excellent quality, had the signature Shake shack taste. read more

1st time ever my order was wrong. Instead my favorite SmokeShack, I received Smoky Classic. ( please keep this names completely different so no confusion!) Didn't want to be fussy so I ate it but because I took my friend with me who had never been there before - I had to explain her that this is not what I promised. When paying with cash one has to order tru register and thank you for this possibility to still be able to use cash for food. Another issue was that the tables were not swiped, still left with leftovers from previous customers. Its ok I swiped it with the napkins and water you provide to drink. So not a big deal. Lastly, what is wrong with the floors? Sticky from dirt or soap accumulation? I had to be careful walking because it was more like ice rink than a walking floor. Get a new mop, use water with less detergent. Do something. What used to be like a cool, cozy place to enjoy terrific hamburgers, became a second hand stop with dirty floors, dirty tables and wrong orders. Its ok to get one thing wrong but triple magic get noticed. I have to say that employees are trying to be nice, bringing food to the table and smiling but I prefer to have old menu on the wall, listening clerk, clean tables and clean floors. Do I love Shake Shack? Yes. Would I eat there again? Not sure. Maybe online ordering and eating at home would be better. Room for improvement? Absolutely. read more

We did a late night Shake Shack run after a long day. It was already way past the time to make something at home, so this was our best bet. Plus, we've been on a burger-and-fries kick this summer It'd been years since my husband has had Shake Shack, and he's only had Shake Shack in the city and it wasn't the best experience for him (long wait time and what he says were lackluster vegetarian options). I was curious about what they have now, so we ordered to share and see what's up. Here's what we got: - 'Shroom burgers - This was my preference between the two. I was a fan of the cheese inside the breaded mushroom patty. - Veggie burger - He liked this one, saying the pickles were on point. - Fries - Can't go wrong with crinkle cut fries. Not bad. I would come back again if in the area and in the same circumstance of late night eats, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here. A plus for this location is that within the mall it is close to the East Parking Lot Entrance, which makes it convenient to stop in to pick up a mobile order and then peace out. read more

It's been a while since I've had Shake Shack! FYI- We visited on a Thursday, 7:30pm and there were about three occupied tables. The place was just getting packed around 8pm, 8-9 occupied tables, and still plenty of available tables, both indoors and outdoors! There seems to be many pick up orders too. Fresh burgers, we love the veggie cheese filled mushroom burger option. My husband order Shia with a beef Patty and bacons. Note- no soda fountain refills since fountain machines are behind the counters in the kitchen. The spicy cheese fries with ranch is new to me, and it definitely has a kick. The fries could use more cheese since it was very dry, but the ranch is a nice touch. It's been a while since I've had Shake Shack!

As I am leaving a review for Shake Shack, I am wondering whether there is anything else that I can say about this place ^^ A casual burger place @ GS Mall. I have always frequented the Shake Shacks in the city literally ever since the very first one at Madison Square Garden. I would say the ambience matters since the GS Mall place is much better than the ones near Port Authority & midtown ones where it's packed, busy, & dirty. Like the cleanliness of GS Mall Shake Shack. The Shroomburger was OK. read more

Good food and best service and I got a compliment and it was nice thank you so very very much for this food and I hope you have a great day.

The Shake Shack burger is a delicious one, so no complaints there. We went here with three kids after Paw Patrol experience elsewhere in mall. Convenient. They are nice to kids, who enjoyed crayons and coloring. The table was filthy. You order first, so we didn't realize dining area was not clean. Other tables were in need of wipe down too. And it was just noon. The food took longer than we expected for three burgers, one order of fries, and one order of chicken nuggets. Shake Shack's food deserves its hype. But this mall space needs a renovation to have more of the hip look of other Shake Shacks. And more importantly, better cleaning. read more

Pictures don't do this burger justice! So delicious! Cooked to perfection. I hate that they have crinkle fries, but they were surprisingly pretty decent. I would definitely recommend ordering ahead, simply because many people crowd around this location. Great lunch spot if you work in the mall! read more

Terrible experience!! I did a web order 10 minutes before pickup. When I arrived they left my order wide open and exposed for anyone to take or eat if they wanted to. My order was the ONLY web pickup order that was like this. My food was cold. I was very disappointed and would NOT recommend anyone to come to this Shake Shack unless you want your food cold possibly contaminated and exposed to customers walking by. Absolutely terrible service. Don't waste your time. read more

Shake Shack never disappoints. It was my first time at this location and have always been to their NYC locations. This one is conveniently located in the Garden State Plaza mall.

It is a fried portobello mushroom filled with cheese. I eat meat and it was still delicious. read more

Just wanted to say, Frank at GSP is super nice. Very kind and provided me an amazing customer service experience. He asked and made sure if everything was okaii, I also watched him with some other customers and noticed how kind and attentive he is. He came over to my table and checked up on me and we have a nice conversation for a moment. Frank is definitely the reason why businesses thrive and why I will make sure to keep coming here. I've been on the other end before last year, when I had to complain about an employee at this location, so after having a great experience with Frank, it feels so important that I compliment him and whoever hired him. Thank you Frank for your genuine and kind customer service. 100/10 :) read more

Similar to other Shake Shacks if you've been to one. Same menu, maybe slightly different prices with the occasional exclusive item. Lines can get pretty lengthy but they move rather quick.

I've been to this location once or twice before. I'm giving it three starts because I went in expecting the type of experience i received- The food (for fast food) was good. Hot, crispy fries and made to order burgers. That being said, I was happy with my meal. The restaurant itself is busy, hectic, crowded and noisy. Again, I anticipated this; but it still isn't fun dining in an environment where you want to relax for a bit. We also had a family pretty much hover over us waiting for us to leave so they could take over our table. I will say, there was one employee who was sweeping up the floors and keeping things as clean as possible- he came up to my friend and me and asked if everything was going well and if we needed anything. After mentioning we needed a to-go box, he happily and politely got it for us. Thanks guy. It's the little things in life! read more

Shake Shack Garden State Plaza - Shake burger with no bun and fries - Burgers Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

One of my favorite places for burgers; Shake Shack simply has a unique flavoring of their sauce in the burger that is irresistibly hard to pull away from. Shake Shack, believe it or not, was recommended as one of the healthier options of food while I was schooling in the city, which attracted me more to it. All meats are supposedly free from antibiotics and trans fats, the potatoes are organically grown, and their ingredients are generally fresh. My usual grab is the classic single Shack Burger ($5.59), cheese fries ($3.99), and a single cup of custard ($3.89). Sometimes, I get the shakes (malted, to make it thicker) rather than the custard. The single burger is surprisingly filling, especially with the fries, though it may look small. Never lets me down. read more

We came to Shake Shack for redemption after an underwhelming lunch. I initially thought Shake Shack was inside the mall and needed to take a long walk to the food court. It was actually at the entrance of the mall and totally accessible! The wait was brief for a table and food which was impressive for the Garden State Plaza!! We ordered a Chicken Sandwich and the Shack Burger! My only regret was not getting fries this time! The potato roll, ratio of fixings, and burnt edges of the beef make for a great style of burger! This was my first time trying the chicken sandwich and it won't be the last! I enjoyed the chicken's lighter batter and the fixings especially the pickles! I personally like the Shake Shack style so I will definitely return!! read more
