Visited the Theater District location to grab a burger and shake yesterday. Fair warning -- seating here is essentially nonexistent. Every table was occupied, so don't plan on dining in. It's really a grab-and-go situation. The BBQ ribs burger was underwhelming. Nothing about it stood out or justified the Shake Shack reputation on its own. But the Dubai chocolate shake? That's another story entirely. It's new, and it is outstanding -- rich, indulgent, and unlike anything else on the menu. I would go back for that shake alone without a second thought. Skip the burger, get the shake. That's the move here.

Yes it's a chain in Times Square. It's 100 degrees outside and the AC in Sugar Factory across the street is broken. And, we were hungry! But, the spot is busy and clean. The burgers were hot, the fries perfectly salted and the Coke Zero is crispy!

We get Shake Shack every few months, usually when I see a new limited time veggie or side offering (since I don't eat meat). I loooove how they always have a promo or limited edition food because it makes it fun to check out their website. Veggie burgers and shroom burgers always hit the spot. Fries are always crispy. But yesterday I tried their limited-time Chocolate Pudding Blackout shake and had to review them! Described as "Chocolate blackout pudding frozen custard hand-spun with chocolate graham cracker crunch, topped with chocolate whipped cream and crumbled chocolate graham crackers", it was 1000 calories of bliss. My only suggestion is that it needs a wider straw.

3rd time in New York. My friend and I were looking for a place to eat before a show. We noticed a bunch of people going into this building. We looked up at the sign and saw "Shake Shack." I have heard much about Shake Shack. Friends been telling me to go try it out. I have always told them to have the classic burgers from California establishments so it was only fair that I tried this out. I just had a regular burger with cheese, some fries, and a drink. And wow this one of the best burgers I have ever had. My friend and I were so amazed about the quality of the food. Dare I say it, I like this burger more than I do an In-N-Out one! Love it. 5/5

Inside of the place, that's all I got for this place because I was greatly inconvenienced in here.

It pains me to do this but out of principle I have to rate this location a 1 star. First off, I tried ordering on the app in advance to get my order done ahead of time but it has me running around in circles so Shake Shackntech management better get that fixed because I have no problem ordering from any other fast food app. 2nd the location has no kiosk so I can't take advantage of any online offers which would've greatly discounted what I wanted from there and without that I can't use any of those offers because I can't redeem them ordering in person. I have non ssue with the woman behind the counter because she explained the issue with me with the utmost of courtesy but at the end of the day, I still can't get my food with a great deal over there so this place is utterly useless if you want to order your food ahead of time.

Plenty of seats and there have a table station for napkins and Silverware! I ordered their Smokey bbq cheese burger, (double ) )not too bad ! A decent side burger , but sides are Extra

Bacon Cheese Fries Avocado Bacon Burger Banana Pudding Shake
Emily W.

Only reason I mark down a star is because they got my order wrong when I ordered online. However, the service was great; the restaurant was busy but they were still efficient. Enjoyed the burgers, fries, and limited edition banana pudding shake which was beyond delicious! Great Shake Shack location.

Perfect dinner stop near the theaters! We came here for a casual dinner while walking around Midtown, and this Shake Shack did not disappoint. Quick service, friendly staff, and they even bring the food right to your table, which is such a nice touch when you're tired from the city hustle. The food was exactly what you hope for -- juicy burgers, crispy crinkle fries, and one fun surprise: fried pickles in a light, flavorful batter! It's that kind of small detail that makes you want to come back. There's lots of seating, which was honestly surprising for the area. Clean tables, good spacing -- it's the kind of fast food place where you actually want to sit down and enjoy your food. Great for: * A quick bite before a Broadway show * Casual dinner with friends * Anyone craving comfort food in a clean, comfy space Simple, tasty, and super convenient. We'll definitely be back again!

This location gets packed! It'll be hard to find a table to sit down at, but there's plenty of bar tables to stand and eat at. The employees aren't that friendly and don't walk around to pick up trays. The food was great. The food came out hot. The fries weren't too salty and the burger was seasoned perfectly.

Good hamburgers! Busy location. Setting is tight . Service fast . Clean surroundings.

the cashier was sooo nice and friendly. this is the best burger place i've been too in a while! will go again everytime i visit.

Shack burger and fries
Jeff K.

Came here for a quick bite on my way out of town. Very crowded when I came. The place was packed. No seating. Considering it was a weekend night, its understandable. Got a shack burger, fries, and a shake and ate it in on the counter. I was lucky to even find a place to eat there. Shack burger has a good charred ground beef flavor. Patty is a bit small, though. The beef tastes like real meat, unlike fast food chain burgers. Fries were crispy and I enjoyed the sugar cookie shake.

I can't say if this location has changed from my last review because I realized somehow the wrong location popped up when I did a check-in and wrote a review for the wrong location. So, I will gracefully still give what I gave for my last review and write my review in the right location. That would be for the Herald Square location. Still love the food. Service is always pleasant. So that is all. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

Easy to find a table on a Saturday afternoon (3pm).

Emperor Dumpling - Steamed pork bun

Emperor Dumpling

We wanted something quick and saw this place had okay reviews, so we gave it a shot. We ordered the…read morechicken teriyaki, pork soup dumplings, and spring rolls. The pork soup dumplings arrived literally spilling pink/red liquid that looked like blood. My mother had never tried soup dumplings before, so we were hoping for a fun experience, but she immediately spit it out. I brought it back and showed the staff the uncooked pork and the blood/red liquid on the napkin. They simply re-steamed them and brought them back except now there was no soup left inside the dumplings at all. The chicken teriyaki was tough and chewy, almost like jerky, as if it had been overcooked on an extremely hot grill or deep fried too long. The spring rolls were mediocre at best, with vegetables inside that had a mushy, paste-like texture. Very disappointing. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the rice. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

On the way to a basketball game at MSG, my husband and I realized - we need food!…read more Didn't have a plan in mind, but Emperor Dumpling caught our eye as we walked by (looked clean, smelled good, and it wasn't crowded so hopefully we could get in and out quickly). I was happy to see certain items on the menu were designated as vegetarian. If I lived in town I would come back and try all their veggie friendly options. The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.

We hopped in line but waited less than a minute because the service was incredibly fast. I managed to snatch a table within 30 seconds, and my husband got our food in less than two minutes. The service was fantastic! The food was actually really good--we got the chicken sandwich, which features three chicken tenders with lettuce and their special sauce, served with french fries and a Coke. Everything was delicious and very well priced. Getting a seat and having such quick service made everything work out perfectly. I also loved the ambiance of the store, they play cool music and the decor is great, especially the disco balls! Después de un concierto en el Prudential Center, regresamos a Penn Station y estábamos hambrientos. ¡Por suerte, este lugar estaba justo enfrente de la estación del LIRR! Hicimos fila pero esperamos menos de un minuto porque el servicio fue increíblemente rápido. Logré conseguir una mesa en 30 segundos y mi esposo trajo la comida en menos de dos minutos. ¡El servicio fue fantástico! La comida estuvo riquísima; pedimos el sándwich de pollo, que viene con tres 'chicken tenders' (tiras de pollo), lechuga y su salsa especial, acompañado de papas fritas y una Coca-Cola. Todo estuvo delicioso y a muy buen precio. El haber conseguido mesa y que nos sirvieran tan rápido hizo que todo saliera perfecto. También me encantó el ambiente del lugar; ponen música genial y está muy bien decorado, ¡me gustaron mucho las esferas de disco!

Was the food the best - I would say the chicken was not my favorite. The Texas toast by the look seemed like a hot dog bun cut in half but the taste was ok. I did enjoy the fries. They have seating but good luck finding anywhere to sit as it's always packed. There are two screens you can place an order on as well as cashiers to order from. There was a girl who kept asking if anyone placed an online order instead of calling the name on the order out which seemed weird because the people who ordered with cashiers had their names being called out.
