We had to stop by and try Shake Shack! It was very busy inside but the line up for food was not long at all! They really know how to deliver great customer service. We ordered a huge tray of food and waited less than 15 mins for food.. I think it's tougher to find an available spot to eat.. but if you hand around someone will leave and you can take their table.. the food was good.. the burger had a nice crispy edge crust and the meat was perfectly seasoned. My son said the fries were the best he ever had.. oh and the vanilla shake was BOMB! read more

Shake Shack, an extremely popular US hamburger brand, is opening in Toronto on 2024-06-13, in the heart of Toronto, at Yonge and Dundas! It is one of the busiest intersections in Toronto. It will be a huge restaurant, occupying 5,500 sq ft! They are open today, 2024-06-07, for invitees only (no, I wasn't invited). This location is licensed to serve alcohol! I have never seen a Shake Shack that is licensed! The menu consists of classic menu items from its US counterpart, with items such as ShackBurgers, crinkle-cut fries, and hands-spun milkshakes. However, there are a few Canadian-specific menu items such as: 1. Maple Salted Pretzel Shake. It has their signature vanilla frozen custard with Canadian maple syrup and pretzels. 2. More S'mores Concrete dessert. It has chocolate and vanilla frozen custard, blended with toasted marshmallow sauce, fudge sauce, Graham crumbs, and chocolate pieces. 5% of sales will be donated to Campfire Circle, a charity that helps kids with cancer or serious illness as well as their families. 3. I Heart Butter Tart Concrete dessert. It has vanilla frozen custard blended with Brodflour butter tarts and flaky salt. 4. Shark Attack Concrete dessert. It has chocolate frozen custard blended with brownies, fudge sauce, chocolate chunks, and cocoa nibs from Chocosol. 5. ShackMeister Ale from Bellwoods Brewery. 6. Shack Red and Shack White from Rosewood Winery. 6. Shack dog biscuits and Pooch-inis from Wufers dog bakery. It has dog biscuits on top of vanilla frozen custard. All their burgers are made with 100% Canadian Angus beef, never frozen, and raised without antibiotics or added hormones. My family has eaten at Shake Shack at several locations in the USA, and recently, in Mar 2024, in Singapore! Unfortunately, they sold out of their Durian Milkshake! You would line up to order on a self-order kiosk and then wait for your order to be picked up at their pickup counter. You would grab their own items like napkins, ketchup, plastic forks, etc. We can't wait to try the first location in Canada! Lineups tend to be long at all Shake Shack locations that we've been to. At this location, the outside was painted by local Toronto artist Briony Douglas. Shake Shack Canada plans to open 35 locations by 2035. Shake Shack USA started 20 years ago. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are gender-neutral washrooms, which are also wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking and a paid parking lot under Yonge-Dundas Square. Review 2024-121 read more

The ambiance is so nice! I was surprised for a Shake Shack. I got the chicken sandwich and cookies and cream shake. The shake was to die for! The chicken sandwich was perfectly fine. My partner loved the burgers. We will be back. It recently opened so the line was very long, but went by pretty quick. read more

Shake Shack - Beacon & cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

got food poisoning from the hot dog. was throwing up all night. bathrooms where disgusting and smelled horrible

It's been a few months since I've had Shake Shack but seems just as good as I remember. I've been to Shake Shack across a number of cities in the US, Tokyo and Hong Kong and this Toronto location seems up to par. The cost converted with the current exchange rate actually means good value for this spot relative to US. Came a few weeks after open and the restaurant was really well organized and was in and out within 25 minutes which might feel long for fast food but is decent for the opening burst. Restaurant is really clean and well organized. The burgers, milkshake and fries are just as good as I'd expect for shake shack. read more

Don't let the line outside scare you, it moves pretty quickly! Efficient line up with the option to order with the cashier or on a tablet. The crispy smash patties tasted great with the house sauce on a buttered bun. The crinkle cut fries are top tier, this is possibly my favourite fry of all time. Will be frequenting Shake Shack now that it's finally in Toronto :) read more

Shake Shack has finally arrived in Canada, and surprisingly, it was only a 30-minute wait on opening day. Though it appears word-of-mouth has quickly spread and at its peak, the line extends into Dundas Square. For the uninitiated, Shake Shack serves smash burgers, comparable to Rudy. It's been years since I've had Shake Shack in the US (so it's hard to compare the portion size) but the burger did seem a bit small. Taste-wise, it did seem pretty consistent with the soft bun and signature Shack Sauce. There are some Toronto-exclusive shakes and custards as well. We tried the I Heart Butter Tart concrete, which was a bit too sweet. And it would've been nice if the tart was blended more though. As mentioned, it was a fairly "short" wait, which I think is expedited by the number of self-checkout terminals available. There is a cashier as well, should you have any questions or should you want to pay with cash. There was also a lot of staff on the floor, clearing trays and checking in with diners to see how they liked the food. Not sure if this was just for the opening, but it was a bit much getting asked upwards to five times. Would I wait more than 30 minutes? No. But I would definitely come back if/when the hype and lineups die down. read more

I visited Shake Shack to try it out since it is newish to Toronto. I went during a weekend and I was lucky enough to walk right in. There wasn't any line up when I went but on my way out there was a crowd build up. The ambience of the location was good. Pretty modern and aesthetically pleasing. There was a line up to order from the digital kiosks but it moved quickly. The food was good but maybe not for the price. read more

Located right in the heart of downtown Toronto at Yonge and Dundas, you expect high traffic and crowds in that area. I went on a weekday evening, to my surprise, the hype died down and was able to order immediate at their kiosk. The seating situation is very big and spacious with many tables. There was security and staff and the entrance and many staff on the floor cleaning up tables making sure everybody have a clean table to eat at. There was screens inside the restaurant where you can see whether your order is ready for pick up. Our order was ready within a reasonable time frame for a fresh burger. I ordered the smoked bacon burger and it was very delicious, I raelly enjoyed the smokiness and it was definitely enough for me. I also ordered the Fanta float as a dessert. However, I feel the one I had in the States had more ice cream inside. This is on the pricier end as they do not offer combo. So it's definitely not your everyday burger place! read more

Went with my friend to see what the hype was about. The three items here cost over $30 and my friend bought three burgers and two drinks which was over $40, which is absolutely ridiculous. Fries were meh, burger was alright. The only thing that would keep me going back is the milkshakes. Overall, it's way too expensive for the quality. read more

Shake Shack - Burgers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Shake Shack has made its way to Toronto! Although it has been here for a few weeks now, I finally got to try this American-chain. I went on a rainy weekday so there was almost no line to get in and I ordered very quickly. They have the option of ordering on kiosks or at their cash registers. The line moved pretty smoothly and they offer hand out menus while you wait. You wait for your food and can keep track of your place in line with their name board. The call it out and have a dedicated section for it. Seating was pretty minimal in my opinion for it being the only restaurant in the GTA and having a prime location such as Yonge and Dundas. I liked the local art and the art deco style of their interior. Onto the food! I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with their wavy fries and a small coke, along with a vanilla frozen custard. For almost $27? This was pretty hefty, and I think more expensive than other smash burger spots in the city. To be completely honest, I am not too sure the difference between this spot and other smash burgers. I mean... It wasn't bad? Haha. I think for the amount of money I spent I would just go to a local spot for less. The burger was pretty good, I think for it being a fast-food chain that's as good as it's going to get. Other smash burgers would have crispy edges, but I think this was just alright. The fries I feel like were undercooked in some parts and okay in others. Again, nothing special. The frozen custard might just be daytime robbery. If I were to close my eyes and guess what I just ate, I would say a regular ice cream cone from the ice cream truck. They didn't really have combos so you have to order everything separate. If you go with others I suggest just sharing sides. I know they have some specialty stuff like their drinks and flavours for Toronto, that might be worth checking out. But for their standard food, it was nice to try but I think that's all that it is. I do think it's a great addition to the Yonge and Dundas core as I can see it getting continually busy. This is, however, another tourist spot I'll have to avoid. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR FELLOW MUSLIMS : When there is an opening of a shake shack in one of the most densely Muslim populated cities, claiming they are serving halal meat but cross contamination with bacon is occurring behind the scenes, and the employee is telling the customer, that bacon is in the same griddle as the burgers , that appears to be a complete disregard and blind eye turned by management. It's obvious that bacon is forbidden to be eaten by Muslims. You don't have to contact the Halal Ministry of Canada to figure that one out! And pretty sure shake shack can afford a separate flat top grill to acoomodate a greater percentage of the population in the area , no? What's the setback, $2-3K? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to handle halal meat. Just keep it far away from pork and don't touch the meats. Kosher meat gets more technical, even I know that. BLAME MANAGEMENT, not the employees. Maybe it's best NOT to advertise you are serving halal meat or at least inform the public that we are frying the meat on the same grill as the bacon because we can give 2 sh!t$ what Muslim specifications are. Shake Shack didn't care there was a genocide going on when they launched their first location in "that" part of the world on March 4th. *read it in this article https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-opening-first-shake-shack-israel-denounced-starvation-spreads-gaza#:~:text=The%20fast%2Dfood%20chain%20opened,a%20result%20of%20Israel's%20actions. To my fellow Muslims, support proper halal burger establishments. Shake shack doesn't need the Muslims' money because "Profits over Principles" read more

Didn't know what to expect on the wait as we heard there usually is a long line up. We decided to pass by anyways. Nice workers to greet you with a laminated menu. Thought the line was long but the realized around 6 people were using the self serve tablet. There was one guy taking order from the counter. The line was pretty fast, after the 2 people in front went to the counter to order, my colleague and I chose the self serve option. I love the system, after ordering you pick up a buzzer and enter the number so when my order is ready I can feel the buzz and not have to stand in the front. There were 12 orders in front of me when I saw the digital order status board, but my order went up the chain pretty fast, faster than I expected. I think it was less than 10 min. The seating area is huge, it's pretty easy to find free seats even though there were a lot of people. We ended up sitting on the 2nd floor, a small area but quiet. When I was done my burger and just enjoying the strawberry shake, an employee came to ask if we need water or napkins or anything else, I asked for water as the shake was kind of thick. Didn't know they do that, I'm well surprised. The only drawback is that the burger is pretty small for $10. Think the buns are actually smaller than McD's which is pretty sad. At least the meat itself is fresh, but lacking in marination, I had to add salt and the Louisiana hot sauce otherwise my burger was blend. Not sure if I would go back again for burger but at least the staffs were nice. read more

So nice to finally see a Shake Shack in Toronto, replacing the old Adidas store right in the heart of Yonge/Dundas square! I didn't expect the interior to be so big with plenty of tables and chairs. The lines were very long (all the way out the door) when they first opened but it seems like the wait is pretty minimal now which is great! I love the art on the wall that is Canadian/Toronto-inspired. I have had the burgers and fries many times in New York and they taste just as good here in Canada. I was also impressed with how clean and maintained it was. It's very easy to order and find a table to sit first. You can look at the TV screen to see when your order is ready to be picked up or you will be given a tile that will buzz when your order is ready. read more

Really quick line. Food was made according to customization with no issues. Fries perfectly crispy with the best cheese sauce. Great veggie options. Butter tart Concrete way too salty and crust on the tart wasn't classic, but the maple pretzel shake was decently good. Wouldn't get dessert here again, but the savoury food is definitely worth it. Very nice staff. read more

I had to discover for myself what all the hype was all about. After all, it's just shakes and burgers right? Wrong, it's excellent burgers and shakes served with enthusiasm and efficiency. While it's a bit pricier than many of its competitors I don't mind paying a bit more for great food. Definitely coming back for more in the near future. read more

Good fast food spot, fast, clean and kind employees. The food is tasty and good quality and the strawberry shake is out of this world. It a bit pricey but if you can afford it it's a good option. At the beginning I thought hamburgers look a bit small but somehow ended up full, so no complaints there. I liked that the buns are closed on the back so that no food slips out. read more

Great food. I had the shack burger, fries, and the fifty fifty drink which is a half lemonade and half organic unsweetened iced tea. The burger was perfectly cooked with the cheese melted just right. The fries had a nice crisp. The drink was refreshing. It need a little mixing before drinking since the first sip was a little on the sour side. Also got the chicken bites. They were crunchy, not hard and hot. Service was good. Fast and prompt for ordering. A bit of a wait for the food since it was Labour Day holiday which made it busy. The electronic pager was a good, not having to wait in line for the food. The restaurant was very clean. There was a worker wiping each table after each customer use. The decor had drawings with a Canadian flair. read more

Lots of seating space, fast and efficient service, and great food. Mohammad was super helpful for our group!

We ordered the fries and chicken bites from Union Station. The fries were bland. The chicken bites were too greasy as well as bland. No flavour whatsoever. read more

I was worried by many of the reviews but I have to say I was very impressed. Yes, the food was on the expensive side and no, it wasn't the best burger I have ever had. But I can't think of a place nearby that I would recommend with better burgers at a better price. Mick E. Fynns up the street does probably have a slightly better burger but the price is pretty compatible. It is also sit-down rather than fast food. We got a regular double burger and a SmokeShack. Both were good, perfectly cooked juicy and flavourful. Both of us did prefer the SmokeShack, the peppers really added a nice touch without being overwhelming. One note is that the burgers are just a touch pink in the middle. If you are extra cautious about food safety be sure to customize the burger and check the "Well" option (which I think requests well-done). But honestly both of us like our burger done like this. We also had the house beer brewed by the excellent Bellwoods Brewery. They call it an "ale" but was surprisingly hoppy. It was really quite enjoyable. We also had a Black & White Shake and Shack Attack Concrete which both really hit the spot. Overall while not cheap fast food I think you are getting something nicer for the extra money. I don't think this place blows away the Toronto food scene but I do think it fits in nicely, filling a niche that was missing before. read more

Finally tried it out today. Had the ShackBurger and the Maple Pretzel Milkshake. The ShackBurger was Ok. But it was a very small burger, didn't look/feel substantial, and didn't have much flavor. Maybe a double would help if you are hungry The Maple Pretzel Milkshake was very good. But on the small side. The bill was $17-something. While the food was OK, I left feeling hungry. I did like the ordering system, and while it was busy, they had a ton of staff in the back and it took longer than expected for me to get my meal read more

It was GOOOD!! The line up is not worth it tho. The portebellow mushroom burger was Delish!! The freshness was excellent. The staff working here was EXCELLENT!! I would have to commend every service staff for their patience and willingness to answer any questions. The place was booming busy with maybe that one or more disgruntled customer but the staff here managed to serve well. Be prepared for long waiting times both for ordering and also waiting for food to come. The food is freshly made. The flavor is on point. I would not wait in like for it tho but its Toronto tradition to wait in lines is a must its the new GEN Z. If you really need to try this place go right when they open the time from open till 30 mins no line then after its long lines. read more

Respectfully - nothing like the US Shake Shacks. Left a lot to be desired, and the location is a 0/10 unfortunately.

I'm typically a fan of Shake Shack, but this location was not up to par. We received trays with items we had not ordered, including alcohol. It seems like they should be more careful when this kind of beverage is involved (ale). There was also a cola we hadn't paid for. Receiving what we didn't order probably means that someone else didn't get what they wanted, but my group had already gone upstairs and started eating when we realized that nobody had asked for these two drinks. Which brings up another problem at this location: scarcity of tables and counters at which to eat. Even upstairs, the area was chock-full, and some people stay long after their food is gone. We had to split up into two groups, although there were plenty of extra chairs. This was because other folks were using chairs to hold up their shopping bags. Chaos reigns and the employees seem unhappy and annoyed. My shroomburger was much dryer than I recall it being in the States. I will try other locations in Toronto next time I'm in town. read more

Great burger. The space is terrific with fun art on the wall. Gotta try the butter tart concrete.
