    Rip off. $26 for two normal size burgers and 2 half shakes and no fries. This would be a bargain in todays world. And in general shake shake is good a bit greasy but still overpriced

    Shake Shake has always been one of my favorite places to eat. This particular location is especially unique because it features a foosball table and other board games. The layout is very different from the others, as they offer both high-top tables, booths, and regular tables. I would highly recommend this spot for a family lunch or dinner.

    For the owner: review your cctv and see your employees. They do nothing to keep it clean. Such a waste of beautiful space and furniture. Filthy as F. Typical shake shack taste but the environment makes it not worth the price(some franchise is clean that even though their burgers abd everything are overpriced, worth the buy) mcdonalds and wendys has cleaner resto even their in the ghetto area than this place

    However good this place used to be, it's not. The place is always a MESS and the staff can't wait to get rid of you. At around dinner time like 6pm they were closing up tables and turning off lights! So dark in there we could hardly see. Even made people move so they didn't have to clean certain tables again (long braids, tall, wearing a bandanna, female) It takes forever to get your food and it's served so sloppy. The staff doesn't even smile at you, so you better not ask them a question or for anything. If you asked them for a refill I'm sure they'd roll their eyes! Your best bet is going to any other location or skipping all together.

    First time in Shake Shack. This is how a $8 cheeseburger looks like, tastes ok but looks bad and small. I won't be back any time soon.

    Hearing that there might be a Shake Shack around the corner from my new job was pretty good news I like the food there and it's easy to walk to in New haven near the green. You can even sit inside and people watch from its big window . You can get a speedy order by ordering on the tablets or the cashier is available. Today I used the tablet and chose away. So many options I just went with something I know I'd enjoy . Fries with cheese sauce on side , a bourbon burger with onion straws with a phenomenal sauce ontop. They cook the burgers just right and it stayed together nicely. I would definitely order this meal again. The staff was nice and the place inside comfortable with many different seating options available.

    Generally I try really hard not to do any overly negative reviews but I didn't experience anything positive with this shake shack visit. Once we arrived, we ordered. My friend ordered one of their draft beers but no one came for her ID at all, we were left standing for a solid 5 minutes until she kinda just gave up on it. We ordered food. Me and my boyfriend ordered first, before our other friends and our food came last, with a 20 minute wait. I ordered the spicy chicken and it was $10, I got a highschool lunch slider with a teaspoon of slaw and 2 pickles (I asked for extra). The ranch fries came with a small, shallow ranch dip and the cheese sauce was conservatively dolloped on top. Not only this, but 3 out of 4 people in our group (including me) experienced belly aches and non pleasant times in the bathroom from this. Unfortunate, this was my first visit to a shake shack location.

    Chick'n Bites and fries yum!

    Love this place they have games and lots of room to fit large groups. This is a great place for late night eats the Shack-Burger was the burger to order. It is juicy and the bread is nice and soft and buttery. The sauce is the best part. Hold the ketchup cause it awesome as it is. The fries were crispy crisp and the chicken bites makes you wanting more. Add a shake to complete your shake shack experience. I would recommend the frozen hot chocolate your taste buds will thank you.

    Came here hungry, and left here pleased. The food was good and the service was quick. I mean, what more could u ask for?

    Love this place!! We ordered take out for dinner the other night and this place never disappoints. I'm not a vegetarian but my favorite is the shroom burger! It's so tasty and full of flavors. They also have really good shakes but I didn't order any this time.

    Juno D.

    sounds! oh Well! The burgers, the chicken, the faux meat, the shakes and the fries, OH THE FRIES! My new obsession is the chicken sandwich and fries with cheese sauce! That's it that all I need to be floating in clouds with unicorns! The herb Mayo on the chicken loves me long time and the cheese for the fries ain't that face stuff! It's the real deal beloved. I have had almost everything from working and living in New Haven and it's all good. Great customer service in store as well as cooperate! Not sure what your waiting for but get there! Don't forget me lol!

The burger was hot, juicy, delicious and quite ample - it kept me full for hours. The fries were hot and crispy. The Guinness was well-poured. Our waitress did a great job too.

    " Y se formó la gozadera... Miami me lo confirmó... "…read more Valentine's Day with my favorite guy (my son ) started at IKEA and somehow turned into a full-on gozadera at Prime BGR in New Haven -- completely on a whim. We walked in with no reservation on Valentine's Day (bold), and the manager couldn't have been more welcoming. Super friendly, got us seated quickly, and set the tone right away. That kind of hospitality matters. The vibe? Cool, modern, slightly moody -- perfect accidental Valentine's dinner energy. The service was on point all night. Attentive, smooth, and genuinely warm. Now let's talk about the moment that activated my Dominican DNA. I ordered the Sweet Plantains with Cilantro Aioli as an appetizer and when I saw plátanos on that menu? República Dominicana presente. . I felt seen. For my main, I had the Temple Salad and added a burger patty (because balance is important ). Fresh, flavorful, satisfying. My son ordered a burger with truffle fries and I am STILL thinking about those fries today. Crispy. Perfect salt. That truffle flavor hit just right. Those fries deserve their own review. And because it was Valentine's Day and I believe in celebrating myself too, I had the Pineapple Express. Divine. Tropical. Smooth. The kind of drink that keeps the gozadera going. From IKEA chaos to Prime BGR glow-up in under an hour. Great food. Great vibe. Great service. New Haven confirmed it. We'll absolutely be back. #PrimeBGR #NewHavenEats #LaGozadera #DominicanApproved #ValentinesWithMyFavorite #TruffleFries

    I found this place while randomly looking on DoorDash. They had a happy hour special, so I decided…read moreto check them out. If you enjoy the flavors of Indian food as well as one of those quick service, hot chicken restaurants you probably would enjoy Hot Murga. The chicken sandwich comes in five spice levels from no heat to super hot. I got the standard hot, and it has some kick, but it wasn't overpowering. Then again I enjoy spicy food. I also ordered their spiced mac & cheese. Again, not spicy at all, but flavorful. Also a good portion as I have leftovers for later. I had my food delivered, but this establishment is close to the Yale campus and street parking can be a bit tricky on Howe St. and around Broadway. I've been inside of the space once when it was a different restaurant some years ago, it's not a large space, but I'm pretty sure comfortable if you decided to dine in. If you ever find yourselves at a crossroad between wanting Chick-fil-A and Indian food, this would be a great alternative.

    A fun take on fried chicken, but with "Indian" flavors. I got the Murga Sandwich (hot) and…read moreBadmaash's Mac & Cheese (medium). Honestly, I didn't think the Murga Sandwich itself had too much flavor - the fry was good and the chicken was juicy & crispy, it was just a lacking seasoning and even "hot" was not super spicy. The spice itself also tasted very one dimensional - just spicy, with no seasoning. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the sandwich itself, but would be interested in trying some of their other sauces. The Badmaash Mac & Cheese was the redeeming item of the meal though - this is basically a Mac & Cheese, covered in tikka sauce & their spicy sauce, and topped with fried chicken. It's definitely a unique flavor, and I think the tikka masala sauce went really well with the cheesy mac texture. Definitely seems like the kind of late night out comfort craving, because it is super heavy. p.s. - pro tip, the sandwich itself is $12 but the sliders are $6 and definitely larger than half of a sandwich (probably closer to 2/3rds). So I'd get 2 sliders for $12 instead of a sandwich.

Hanging out in New Haven, CT after doing some day-drinkin' and…read moreit's time to soak up the alcohol before we head back home so we stopped into Jordan's Hot Dogs & Mac who have been around for over a decade to see what it's hittin' for! Atmosphere/Appearance: No frills. Straightforward comfort food spot. TVs on the wall, black wooden paneling, some beat-up booths, bright-lighting and loud music. Lol. You're here for the food, nothing else. Service: You go up to the counter to order your food then it's brought out to you so nothing crazy, but very simple. Food: I got to sample quite a few things here, so let's go through them, but first I just want to let y'all know that this is a B.Y.O.B. spot! Woo! The O.G. Mac Dog: It's macaroni & cheese, bacon, jalapenos on an all-beef hot dog. There were so many different hot dogs to choose from, but I had to go with the original. This was SO FLAVORFUL. It tasted like a Nathan's dog, (but is actually a Hormel's dog), but altogether it was fantastic. The mac & cheese was creamy, the bacon was crispy and the jalapenos added just a hint of spice and a little acid. This would be the perfect thing to sober you up after a day/night of partying. Sweet Potato Fries: These were cool. They were crispy and very simple. They could use a bit more salt, but it was all good. Onion Rings: These didn't look like they were made here and that's fine. It's like I've seen these before at other restaurants and that's okay. Restaurants get stuff from the same suppliers so it saves them time. Moving on... Lemon Pepper Wings: These were a dry rub and the wings were crispy. These were very lemon-y and I liked that compared to them being too salty. The flavors were balanced very well. Garlic Parmesan Wings: These were delicious. The ingredients were caked on and that's always a good sign. It was creamy and the parmesan was a bit stronger than the garlic. It tasted like there was some extra hidden ingredients like a ranch or something that was in there, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I wish there was a bit more balance there, but it's all good. I liked them. Sweet Chili: These were not your traditional "sweet chili" wings. They had a Buffalo flavor aspect that I really enjoyed and I was literally licking my fingers after eating these! Jordan's Glaze: Another delicious flavor. The wings were excellent. There was a good hoisin flavor here that presented itself up front which gave a sweet, salty, umami flavor and was well-balanced. Philly Cheesesteak: On their cheesesteak is sliced sirloin, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, jalapenos and cheese wiz. The bun was nice and soft. It was executed so well. The Maillard reaction on the little bits of steak added an extra touch that I really enjoyed. Though.. the sandwich as an entirety was a bit salty. Banana Pudding: This was really good, but comparing it to the best I've ever had (Magnolia Bakery), but this was EXCELLENT. The wafers were soft, but I was just hoping for a little more banana. Strawberry Banana Pudding: Everything mentioned above, but a little more exotic with the bold strawberry flavors. Really, really good. Value: The food is cheap, but doesn't necessarily taste like it. You won't blow your budget here and that's kinda the point. Without all the frills and overhead, Jordan's is allowed to bring you comfort foods and they can solely focus on the flavors. In conclusion, I loved it here. The food will stick to your ribs. Lol. But visit here in moderation. There's a reason they've been here for so long and I'm so happy I got the chance to check them out.
