Shake chicken
Dan J.

Pretty good sandwich for an airport. It's in the new terminal A in Newark. A beautiful building. The chicken was juicy and crispy plus the cheapest option we could find. $11.00 Counter service like all Shake shakes. Sorry I ate half before I thought to take a picture I was so hungry!

There was not really a line, but for some reason it took forever to get our food, but they were accommodating in making a sandwich without bread & that was awesome! Both sammies were good.

If you're looking for a good place to grab some familiar food before or after a flight this is the place. Order to pickup was quick (which was necessary because I ordered while not flight started boarding) Tastes like any other shake shack burger I've had which is solid. Will pay more as it's an airport which is to be expected. Great fast casual place!

Looking for a quick snack before our flight out of Newark and saw Shake Shack near our gate so we decided it's the one, lol. The place wasn't overly busy as it was around 1:00 pm. Order was placed and a few minutes later, a hot and juicy burger was in front of me. It was delicious as expected and the lemonade was refreshing. The place was clean and has a wide seating area.

No real issues here. The restaurant serves just as high-quality food as any other location. Prices are a little more expensive here, but that is normal for an airport. Plenty of seating, friendly staff, and a really quiet atmosphere with views of the tarmac.

Chicken sandwich

It's not great. And it's super expensive. But that's ok because there are many choices. Not bad just airport food. Nothing more

Breakfast sandwich

Located in the United terminal, I decided to give their breakfast a try. The service was fast, and my sausage egg and cheese sandwich was yummy and filling.

The coffee was expensive and tasted terrible

This is a very bright, spacious, and clean location in the newly-renovated Terminal A of Newark Airport. The service was very friendly. Props to the workers for being there so early, long before the crack of dawn! Although I've had Shake Shack for years, this was my first time trying breakfast. I was very curious to see what it would be like. Well, now I know :) It's definitely a thinner breakfast sandwich. The bread is soft and lightly toasted. It's the same bread they use for the burgers, but I think it works better with the burgers. The bacon and egg are also on the thinner side, though there is an option to add more egg. I'm not a fan of American cheese, and there was no sauce, so all things considered, this was a soft, yet dry and underwhelming breakfast sandwich. It could use at least 30% more moisture. The tater tots were piping hot and crispy. Probably the best item in this breakfast. It would be great if they offered some topping options. The coffee, though, was something else... the most expensive drip coffee I've ever had and also the worst-tasting: gritty, flavorless, burnt, and watery. My bad for not checking the price before ordering it. Overall, I think it's still good to have as an option for breakfast, but not worth the $16+ I paid. Also, I would 100% stay away from that coffee!!

Egg sandwich on a gluten free bun and hash browns
Carlie A.

A+ to the cashier working Saturday morning! Not only was she friendly, but she knew to warn me about cross contamination risk of the hashbrowns when I ordered a gluten free bun for my sandwich. Easy options to order in or take out, plenty of seating and food was prepared quickly.

Shackburger, Smokeshack, Fries
Kyle T.

The food was amazing. The service was prompt and the server was very friendly. There was a lot of places to sit considering this location is in an airport terminal. This place was clutch before boarding our 9pm flight. It was cheaper than the other food options.

Double Shackburger, Fries, and Stawberry Shake
Michael Y.

At EWR preparing for a flight heading out of the Tri-State Area, I noticed a location of Shake Shake airside in the terminal as I was walking towards my gate early in the morning. And having been in the New York area, I had not had a visit to Shake Shack a single time. Having been to many of their locations in California, I figured I would try a location on the East Coast and see if we've been missing something on the opposite end of the US. The menu items were just the same as any of your typical Shake Shack locations with the only difference being the availability of the "Red Eye Shake" which mixed coffee elements into the shake. For this visit, breakfast items were the most popular as I was ordering in the morning. But craving a burger, I decided on a Double Shack Burger ($11.69), an order of Fries ($5.69) and a Strawberry Shake with Whipped Cream ($7.64). With a large group of people waiting before me, my food was ready in about 10 minutes time. This particular location in the airport was special in that there were seats next to the large floor to ceiling windows which allowed me to look onto the runway while I consumed my food. Looking at price for the amount of food given, everything was pretty similar to Shake Shack locations outside of the airport. Looking at the burger first, it was exactly as you would see elsewhere with two patties, a slice of cheese, a slice of tomato, and a piece of lettuce inside. I believe the tomato and lettuce were larger than what I've seen in other states which was definitely a plus. Moving to the fries next, the tray seemed to be larger in size which allowed for a larger portion of fries. And as for the strawberry shake last, the size seemed as normal. The quantity for all of this food was great in my eyes, especially in an airport where food prices tend to be inflated. In contrast to the consistent quantity, the food items seemed of higher quality than the other locations I've been to. For one, the tomato and lettuce tasted as fresh as if they were just prepared. But of anything, the patties were crisp and glistening on the perimeter. Each patty was seasoned very well and was full of flavor from the angus beef. Adding the cheese in gave some extra moisture to the beef which made the ingredients melt in the mouth. Moving to try the fries next, they tasted more crispy than other Shake Shack locations which really surprised me. Furthermore, the fries were lightly salted which made them great as a stand-alone snack. For last, the strawberry shake was thick, so much so that it was thicker than the shakes I've had in other locations. The strawberry flavor was prominent in the ice cream put inside. And when stirred in with the whipped cream, I found the shake to taste lighter than otherwise which made the drink taste almost flurry-like. From a taste perspective, I don't think I've had a better experience at a Shake Shack anywhere else. This certainly isn't my first time at a Shake Shack location. But from all of my previous experiences, none of them have compared to this location at New Jersey's own airport. The price was comparable to other Shake Shack locations, the quality of the food was on par if not better than many of the other locations I've visited, and the dining area was spacious and unique for the most part. If in New Jersey's EWR airport and are looking for a bite to eat, I'd highly recommend this particular Shake Shack location! Great work guys!

Located in the lovely new Terminal A at EWR. Prices are higher than other locations, which is expected, but not prohibitively so. Service was quick and pleasant. Reminded me a bit of the chicken place that's closed on Sundays! My burger was decent, but unfortunately my fries had a frozen potato taste in the center of many of them, which made them not enjoyable. Would definitely go back if in need of a meal.

Brielle P.

First of all what they did to EWR is absolutely outstanding. Finally an upgrade that we all deserve!! Was craving some good fries and was super excited to see they had a Shake Shack centrally located in terminal A. There was a long line but it moved quickly and the food came out quick. My husband and I shared a hot dog, cheese fry and fresh lemonade. Hot dog was cooked to perfection and split in the middle with grille lines and all (king of dogs!). Fries were perfectly cooked and tasted fresh and delicious. Lemonade was sweet but refreshing. Employees were helping to move line thru and call out to people once their orders were ready. it was really efficient! employees were also cleaning and turning over the tables. Lots of tables to eat at - only wish they had charging stations at the booths. They did have them at the bar seating! Bravo EWR & Shake Shack!

Good food but super overpriced. Partially due to the product and partially due to being an airport location.

Jersey Mike's Subs

Jersey Mike's Subs

(33 reviews)

Newark Airport has many options for travelers now that terminal A is open so new and shiny what a…read moretreat. We grabbed a couple of sandwiches from Jersey Mikes to snack on for the trip home, we weren't the only ones but persistent and early arrival paid off after about 30 minutes we had our meals and were set for the flight. I had the Roast beef and I'm telling you they loaded my regular sub up. They're were plenty of space to sit and watch h folks hustling through. Service was good I gotta say they are some sandwich masters they never stopped making then while we were there. Certainly added some comfort to our flight home.

Don't ask me why the reviews for Jersey Mikes in Terminal A of Newark Airport are so low…read more Jersey Mike's are good everywhere at every location I have been to. They were completely lovely at Newark Airport. I was very very happy to have my Philadelphia Cheesesteak from Jersey Mike's. It was a fine sandwich. It was actual food - which is not always what you get when you eat at the airport. My trip home had been rancid up to that point - and turned good from Jersey Mike's on afterward. It could be that Jersey Yelpers are fussy. I would not rule that out. I am often blown away by the sheer hostility of Yelp Reviews I read coming out of New York City. However, there may be a sense in which both me and the Newark Airport Jersey Mike Haters have some basis for agreement. * * * The most common complaint here is that people don't like the freshness of the ingredients. I had a hot sub - a cheesesteak. If vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes or peppers are not as fresh as they could be - that would be a non-issue on a cheesesteak or a meatball sub that doesn't get lettuce, tomatoes or peppers. So if you want to be super-cautious - order from the hot food side of the menu. * * * The other issue is serving time or hostility from servers. I have encountered such issues at Newark Airport although not from this particular Jersey Mikes. The one time i was not served because i was Jewish (this was a pretty clear case) was at a food service establishment at Newark Airport. That "can" be a local management issue ... if say a shift supervisor or a set of people working on the same shift all see eye to eye on certain issues. So some of the stories in other reviews about people of a certain ethnicity being treated badly "might" be true. BUT Those issues change when the shift supervisor changes or when a shift team changes. Turnover at a fast food place at an airport is sky high. The same people are not likely to be around two years later or one year later or even six months later. If I was a customer experience supervisor at Jersey Mike's (or more probably, a customer experience supervisor at the hospitality industry subcontractor that runs the various brand name restaurants at Newark Airport) I would look into such Yelp reviews to see if anything is going on. However, as a customer, I would not be worried about such experiences replicating.
