Got hungry while waiting for a flight, so I decided to grab a burger and fries from Shake Shack in the airport. From past bad experiences with burgers and product quality issues in many different airport restaurants, I normally don't order burgers because they are always cold, dry, tasteless, and downright horrible. But this burger from Shake Shack was surprisingly very good. I ordered from the self-serving kiosk and the wait time for my order was about 5 minutes. The entire restaurant including the counter area, dining area, and even the condiments station was all very clean and inviting. I ordered the Double Shack Burger made with two smashed angus beef patties, American cheese, and topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and Shack Sauce on a toasted potato bun, an order of fries and a 20 oz bottled drink for $24.79. A little step, but of course, all menu items are à la carte, and this is airport dining. The bun was fresh soft, and lightly toasted. The burger patties were nicely smashed, hot, juicy, the cheese melted and all the condiments were fresh, cool, and bright. This burger was prepared with care and assembled beautifully to create the perfect burger. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly cooked, lightly salted, and golden brown. This was by far the BEST airport burger and fries I have ever eaten. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-03-26 Shake Shack | Newark Liberty International Airport | Terminal A read more

This store is located near the exit gate close to Gate A8 in Terminal A. It's in front of a huge window looking out to the tarmac, looks absolutely stunning throughout the day with amazing sunlight and views. They open the store very early, it was open when we were at the airport around 7am. Dining area was neat and clean. The menu has all the SS burgers, shakes, lemonade and bites. On top of that they have special breakfast menu that I haven't seen in any other SS outside. There's bunch of egg n cheese sandwiches and hash browns available. Since it was early morning, orders were getting fulfilled quickly. The food had the all familiar taste and quality. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Shake Shack - Breakfast sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

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!! read more

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. read more

Shake Shack - Shackburger, Smokeshack, Fries - Burgers Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

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! read more

We had a very nice meal at about 11:30 AM this past Wednesday. What impressed me the most was the very kind service provided by the woman at the counter. Seeing that we were a little confused with the order screen, she came around to our side and completed our order. It was very nice to be assisted by a very kind patient person. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This is a solid Shake Shack at EWR airport. There is a good amount of seating and when I went, there were a lot of staff so service was pretty smooth. The tables are cleaned regularly and the food is fresh. The only downside is that the prices at this location are a bit inflated probably because it is in an airport. read more

Never had shake shack before and found the perfect opportunity to try with it right next to my gate! To start, service was great. All of the employees were joking around. Prices were good comparatively, $11 for a double cheeseburger and $10 for a 24 ounce beer. Not bad for airport prices. The burger was delicious and perfectly cooked - super flavorful. While the particular area I was at wasn't super clean, there was someone going around and cleaning tables. I think there was just too fast of a turnaround for her to keep up. Overall great for an airport dining experience read more

High quality food. Better than McDonalds as it should be because you are paying more. Service can always be better, gloves should be worn at all times in the food preparation areas and heck even at the cash register too. It has turned into a tradition whenever flying into New Jersey to stop here for a bite to eat. I get cheeseburger with fries and a cookies n creme milk shake. Delicious! Great to hear them continue to expand! :) read more

Shake Shack - a hamburger with lettuce and tomato - Burgers Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Running through an airport it's always great to find a place that's decent, this Shake Shack was great. Although there was a line, the cashier was quick and the food came out in less than 10 minutes. I've seen less crowded places take 15+ min...kudos on the efficiency. Ordered a double cheese burger and fries and it was tasty and on point. Once again it was prepared quickly but exactly to my specifications. Come here if you have a burger craving! read more

Poor front desk on taking order. Did not ask patrons whether they want beef or chicken burger. Thinking it was all chicken menu but it's not. Not recommended location. read more

On a recent afternoon I sat down to compare Shake Shack reviews to those of In-N-Out and found, consistently, that In-N-Out came out on top. During a recent stay at Newark Airport I had the chance to test this conclusion. Owing to a flight that was threatening to board, my order was kept to the minimum: A ShackBurger ($7.95) is their terminology for Cheeseburger and though I'd have liked onions on it I didn't take the time to add them to my order. The consensus? With some pebble-like pieces of gristle in the mix, the ShackBurger isn't in the same league as a burger from In-N-Out. The rest of the menu may prove better but based on this burger I have a difficult time understanding the hype. Service was friendly and efficient which was appreciated as my flights went nowhere and day turned into night - then morning - at Newark Airport. read more

Just what I needed after a long flight. I'm so glad they do their entire menu (not just the breakfast menu) in the morning. I immediately got my go-to order of a shack burger and a side of crinkle-cut fries after my 12 hour flight and it really righted the ship. read more

This Shake Shack is located inside the new Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport. There's no real reason to go to any of the other overpriced food options in the terminal when you can just go to Shake Shack. It's reasonably priced and the food is great. Also, the line wasn't bad at all when I was there. It moved quickly and I got my food within 5 minitues or so. read more

Today was my first trip to Terminal A and it already feel like home with by beloved shack . If Danny ever needs a brand ambassador . it should be me . The line is long , to be expected . The staff moves efficiently . Some rules are annoying . Have to drink your wine in the area . Even though it sold in a can . No free ice have to pay . But small price to pay to see my favorite place in my favorite place . read more

We ate here on a layover between flights. It was pretty busy when we were there right around dinner. We ordered right away. The guy who took our order was cool and gave us the extra sauce we asked for when It wasn't on our tray. It took a while to get our food but maybe only a little longer than usual. But the quality is what we are used to and everything was good. It would be nice if the tables were a little bigger, and it was expensive; my burger, fries and a soda were $20. At least it is less than other places in the terminal were charging. All in all, this was a positive experience and we would eat here again. read more

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

This might be the best breakfast option in any airport I have ever been in, and I completely did not expect it at all. Grabbed a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich with tater tots, and they were both perfect all the way down to the potato bun. And here's the kicker...the price was insanely low by comparison to every other option in Newark's Terminal A and, quite frankly, low by comparison to just about any airport I have been to (and I have been to a lot of them). This is my new morning stop every time I fly out of Newark, which is pretty often. read more

An airport location of a chain where the food actually tastes the same as at other locations - a fresh hot burger, crispy hot fries, and a delicious shake, and plenty of space for diners to sit. Efficiently run as well. Will second other comments for a need for charging ports at tables but that's the only quibble. read more

Love me some Shake Shack when flying through Newark. Can never go wrong with burgers, fries and a shake. Service at this location has always been excellent and efficient when I've dined for both breakfast and lunch. They open early which is awesome considering the Delta Lounge doesn't (I'd rather have Shake Shack anyway). I for sure look forward to grabbing a bite before or after a flight and it's probably the best part of my travel day. read more
