    It was packed the day we went so lines were long and seats were hard to find. As for the burger itself, it's overpriced and okay. It's worth trying, but I don't think I would go again!

    I've always liked Shake Shack and have been here several times before. But on this last visit with my wife, the food didn't hit the mark. I ordered the ShackBurger and my wife the 'Shroom Burger. The burger was good --- but not as great nor as appetizing looking as I've had in the past. But it hit the spot. My wife's 'Shroom Burger was awful. The description was "crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted cheese." The portobello definitely wasn't "crisp-fried." It was soggy. And the melted cheese didn't taste like any cheese I've had before. It was something gooey that seemed to have come out of a tube. It really didn't work. Since I ordered at the kiosk, I really didn't have much interaction with the staff. They seemed efficient. And the decor was pleasant with plants --- for a fast food restaurant, generally a nice environment to dine.

    The Cheese Burger at this Shake Shack location was fine. Good patties to satisfy that hunger pangs. But I was dissatisfied with the Shroom Burger. It could be the cheese used for the stuffing. It's always busy here so it's not an ideal place for a relaxing meal. Feels like it's a rushed kind of place.

    Got the korean style fries...not a huge fan. It is simply just fries with cajun seasoning and the sauce is not the best. The workers were extremely nice and there were clean tables as well as booths. You order using a tablet (there are around 7, so it was easy to order

    Located at the Irvine spectrum, this spot was easy to access with convenient parking. When you enter, there are multiple ordering kiosk to the left. When placing your order, they have you grab a number from the side, enter it and find a table to place the number on while you wait. Seating inside was limited, but there were plenty of seating in the patio area. Although the restaurant was busy our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. We tried K-Shack BBQ Burger and K-Shack Fried Chicken Bites. The burger was salty, and the chicken bites were bland. Overall, the experience was pretty much what you'd expect from a fast food restaurant. Nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either.

    I came here over the weekend for lunch. Lots of patio seating outside as well. You can order on the kiosk inside for either take out or dine in. Service was quick, food came out fast. I got the shackburger with fries and cheese fries. The burger was decent but it was pretty greasy. The fries were okay, nothing special about it. Overall, the food here is on the pricey side. The food was a bit too greasy for me compared to other burger spots I had. I would eat elsewhere in the Spectrum.

    Good food. I've had the burgers here and they're really good. Something about the crispiness of smash burgers, the patty is thick and flavorful, and the vegetables are actually tasty. I love onions on my burgers so I love it here. The actual Big Mac Shack thing is alright. The price is good, it's $10 for a thick double double burger (these are also double sized patties). The sauce was on the side. It was like an onion sauce, it was good. The burger was a little bit salty and I dunno, a little boring. The potato buns they use here are really good though. The chicken sandwich was good. I usually like the chicken more than the burgers, but that's just me. Crinkle fries are great, nice and crispy. Self serve ketchup too, yay. Great experience here and I plan to come back to this place. I almost never get shakes here, but I know everything is good.

    Sometimes not all new menu items hit, but the Big Mac delivered. At $10 and 1000 calories for one burger, a one and done is justified imo. The burger buns at shake shack are elite. The fries and onion rings are good. Definitely not a fan of the ranch. Tastes more like mayo than ranch, it was kind of weird. What impressed me more about this location was the quick service and how the staff were all hustling to get the food out, wipe down tables, sweep floors while customers were going in and out nonstop. It was a busy Saturday night at the start of the holiday season and I've never seen such efficiency! Even with ordering at the automated station, finding someone to verify ID for a beer wasn't too hard or inconvenient. Plenty of outdoor seating and finding indoor seating wasn't too much of a challenge even with a stroller. With all the amazing food options at spectrum, we were happy and satisfied to have gone with shake shack!

    If you want to pay $72 for cold burgers, come to Shake Shack at a Saturday night . We placed our order on the self-service iPad, grabbed our own table, and then waited over 25 minutes for our food. We ordered the SmokeShack burger, French Onion Shack, chicken nuggets, a strawberry shake, and a beer. Since the wait was so long, I got up to pick up our drinks first. Their workflow makes no sense, by the time the food finally came out, only the Shroom Burger was hot. Everything else was ice cold, chicken nuggets tasted very oily and double fried. For $72, this is absolutely not the experience I expect. The food wasn't good, there's essentially no service, and they are clearly very short-staffed for the volume of orders they take. I genuinely don't understand why people still come here for burgers. Never again. Bye Shake shack!

    pretty good, got the double patty burgers and they come with coke! we also got the original fries and a cooke n cream milk shake. the burger is good, but i found it kind of dry. by the end i felt like i was choking on every bite but it was still good. fries were crispy and has great texture, and the milkshake was better than expected.

    Party of four on a Saturday around 1 pm. Inside and outside seating available. You can also order your food at the cashier or at the 5 or 6 tablets that they have available as soon as you enter. They weren't extremely busy yet when we came in, but when we left around 2 pm, it was packed. Our table was a bit dirty (No biggie), we cleaned it real quick. A solid 4 stars. Food came out fairly quick. It was really good, this was our first time at this restaurant! Staff were kind, friendly, and welcoming, definitely a place to came back again!

    I like that this location is open late, prices are generally moderate, and they often have limited time items available. The burger and chicken sandwich is consistently very good, high quality ingredients, though generally on the smaller side. When ordering make sure to check the custom options. Would also recommend the standard chicken bites. I like that you can order ahead with the app, though the android version has been broken for quite some time. Also, you have to ask about your order at the counter because there isn't any now serving screen or notification and oftentimes no announcement. There are many tables inside and outside for this location.

    Ok In-n-Out lovers..plz don't come at me, but dare I say, I like Shake Shack more. Lol I first had a taste of Shake Shack in Arizona on our fam bam road trips and I've been hooked ever since. Call it love at first bite! Fast forward to 2025 and they now have 2 locations in my vicinity of OC/Cali and I'm sooo STOKED (can't you tell from my gang of burger pics?), you don't even know. My go-to has been the OG ShackBurger with raw, sliced onions. There is just something about their toasted potato bun that hit this Cali girl differently than In-n-Out. It's sooo yums. I love their fresh, made-to-order 100% Angus beef ~ quarter pound patty and that melted American cheese over fresh lettuce & tomato. Mmm..my mouth is legit watering as I write this review. While I ALWAYS order a side of fries with my burger, depending on my mood and hunger level, I sometimes feel fancy and get cheese fries to round out my meal. I just love those crispy crinkle cut fries that have that satisfying soft center. To truly complete my meal, I love their refreshing strawberry lemonade on a hot day. You can really taste the real strawberry puree, perfectly marrying their house-made lemonade. It quenches my thirst every time. While yes, your Shack Shake meal will NEVER compare to your In-n-Out combo prices, however, it's still worth it now and then ~ esp. when I have that fast-food craving, but still want fresh quality ingredients. Truth be told, I would only visit this first Shake Shack location in OC if I was hanging out & strolling around the Spectrum, cuz let's be real..ain't nobody wants to deal with the Spectrum parking madness. This location is in a prime real estate spot on the north side of the Spectrum shopping center, by the Regal movie theater, so you best bet there is lots of foot traffic. Beware..it can get busy during peak lunch/dinner hours! Hands down, 100% RxFoodie recommended fo' sure ~ you need to give it a try yourself, before you knock it! You won't be disappointed.

I wanted to share some comprehensive feedback regarding a recent experience, aiming to highlight both your successes and areas where further refinement could elevate the customer journey even further. First and foremost, I must commend your team for their exceptional warmth and hospitality. From my initial phone call to the moment I picked up my order, I felt genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of customer service, which often feels lacking in many establishments today, truly sets American Grub apart. It creates a welcoming atmosphere that significantly enhances the overall experience, and I sincerely hope this commitment to friendliness remains a cornerstone of your operation. However, I encountered a couple of points that, in my personal opinion, warrant consideration for improvement. Regarding the payment process, I felt a degree of apprehension about providing my credit card details over the phone. While I understand the operational need to secure orders and prevent potential losses, particularly for larger transactions, for a single item like my bacon cheeseburger, priced at $17.24 including tax, this practice felt somewhat disproportionate. I also noted the 99-cent fee for online payments, which, while minor, might deter some customers who are seeking convenience without additional charges. Perhaps exploring alternative secure payment links for phone orders or adjusting the fee structure for smaller transactions could enhance customer comfort and streamline the process. My primary concern, however, arose upon returning home. Despite ordering a bacon cheeseburger, I discovered the burger completely lacked bacon, as well as any form of sauce or mayonnaise. This oversight had a significant impact on the meal; the absence of these core components rendered the burger quite bland and far from the experience I had anticipated. When ordering a single item, the expectation for meticulous attention to detail is particularly high, as there are fewer variables. Consequently, the overall value of the meal, given the missing ingredients, was not quite met on this occasion. I did reach out to the owner privately via email to discuss these points, and I appreciate their responsiveness and transparency in addressing my feedback, particularly concerning the rationale behind the phone payment policy. It is reassuring to know that your business is open to customer input. My hope is that these observations can serve as constructive input, allowing American Grub to continue refining its excellent service and product quality. I remain a supporter of your local endeavor and look forward to seeing these aspects addressed. Thank you for reaching out. To clarify, all my reviews and communications are crafted solely from my personal experiences and genuine perspectives, not AI. Every word and insight you read is authentically mine, driven by my commitment to provide honest feedback. Even though the review was long..(lol) I wanted to make sure the details are accurate and understandable. Plus I think you and your establishment are great and I wanted to detail that as well Kimberly.

Do yourself a favor and order an extra side because dipping the fries in it is non negotiable. My mom went with the spicy chicken sandwich and it was great. The spice level is totally manageable, flavorful without being overpowering. If you like a little more heat, grabbing a side of peppers is the move. It adds that extra kick without drowning out the sandwich. On top of the food, this place really shines because of the people. It is family owned and you can feel it. Everyone is genuinely friendly and excited to serve you, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is clean, quiet, and comfortable with good vibes all around.
