Solid burger. The cheese flavor reminds me of the extreme goldfish crackers. The flavor and seasoning was pretty good. I'd like them to add more veggies to the burger. Maybe some onions or pickles. The fries were pretty good. The downside is that it is overpriced. Food is pretty good but I wouldn't say it's worth the money they are charging. I've had burgers much better for half the price. read more

This is the best burger joint around. I love the cheese fries to the shakes. Every time I go they are super quick. I usually get one for now and one for later as I don't living in the area. Needless to say they are the best, burgers are so juicy and flavorful, side note the patties are kinda small so I recommend a double, kinda pricey but total worth it if you ask me. Supped up Five Guys kinda vibe. read more

Shake Shack Tysons Corner - Burgers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

First time at Shake Shack (if you can believe that) and it was alright. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but don't really understand the hype here. I do like that the patties were thin with a good crust and the burger was easy to eat. I didn't like the fact the burger was a little on the greasy side. There is a difference between a greasy burger and a juicy burger. Juicy burgers don't gotta be greasy. I ordered the smoke shack (cheese burger w/apple smoke bacon and cherry pepper relish) and the combination of the cherry pepper relish and bacon compliments each other well. The peppers gives it a nice kick, while the bacon gives it a nice crunch and salty flavor. My wife got the chicken shack and she said the chick was juicy with good flavor. We also shared a bacon cheese fries which was just fried topped with cheese and bacon. That was the perfect combination of savory, salty and crunchy. If I were to go back it would be to try a different burger. read more

I finally had the opportunity to give Shake Shack a try. After all the comparisons of being the 'best' burger joint and being better than In-N-Out, I had to try it. Being a California native, why not? The restaurant is located in the outside area of Tyson's Corner Mall. There is a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Please be aware, if you have a stroller, seating will be cramped inside. Outside seating would be perfect in the spring/summer time, but not in the winter. Anyway, I ordered the Shack Stack (Portobello mushroom with beef patty) with fries and a soda. Burger was flavorful, juicy, and the mushroom adds a nice flavor to the overall burger. The fries were cooked just right. This place is a legit burger spot to check out. A little higher on the price, but the quality is nothing to be questioned about. I enjoyed my meal and plan on trying this place in the future. Now back to the question if Shake Shack is better than In-N-Out...Inconclusive. Shake shack has different menu items which adds more variety, while In-N-Out has a straight forward menu. Both are great...But I also prefer In-N-Out's pricing. But whatever. Shake Shack is definitely a good option to choose when you're at Tyson's looking for a bite to eat. Oh, almost forgot. If you have kids, there is a small play area next to the restaurant that your kids can play in while you're waiting for your order or after your meal. read more

I love Shake Shack... no matter what you order, everything is delicious. I usually order for pick up but I love that there is a playground right outside of it so you can eat and let your little ones play at the same time. read more

There is no reason not to like Burgers + Fries. Always a fan of this simple combo.

Simply put, Shake Shack is overrated. It's nothing special or unique, and i personally don't like the way the beef patty tastes. The shack sauce is underwhelming. Their fries are good, but the portion of fries is tiny, especially compared to the generous portion given at Five Guys (if you're at this mall and want a burger, I'd definitely recommend going there instead). The shakes are very clumpy, and often have a weird aftertaste. I've been to various Shake Shack locations and had the same experience each time. read more

Since my original review, nothing has changed at this location. Same amazing food, same terrible seating and dining experience. I'd only recommend coming here if you plan to get your food to go. read more

The staff is unenthusiastic. The food is made fast but waits under heating lamps for 30 minutes before the server can get it ready for you. It wasn't even busy when we visited. This is not typical of any other shake shacks. It's disappointing especially in a higher end neighborhood. read more

This location is amazing , customer service is beyond great. From the cashier to the guy cleaning tables and stocking condiments. Super friendly and helpful. It was cool the management made them switch gloves and wash their hands and clean their stations as well. Epic shake shack read more

They have good food but were very rude to their customers unfortunately. Won't be returning to this location. Everyone has been experiencing the unprecedented times that COVID has brought upon us so there is no need for negativity. On a good note they are taking proper safety measures needed for COVID-19. read more

My rating: 3.5, rounding down because a 4 seemed too high Overview: A chain specializing in burgers and the eponymous shakes with a variety of other items to eat and drink. I've been to the Tysons Corner location a few times. In my experience, they've been very busy and, since the indoor space is quite small, very crowded as well, especially on the weekends. Even though I have the Shake Shack app, my decision to go here tends to be a spur-of-the-moment decision so there would be waiting on my end regardless, but it seems like the app would be useful for those who are a little more diligent in their planning. My kids (12 and 10) and I came here recently for a post-movie shake and fries "snack," (which ended up being "lunch," but that's neither here nor there). I admit that I'm not that adventurous in the shake department, so although there are many flavors on-hand, I tend to stick with the tried-and-true chocolate. Which is pretty good and I'd recommend it. The fries are... nothing spectacular, but they do provide a nice counterbalance to the sweet and cold shake. I've noticed this at other Shake Shack locations as well, but it seems like the handheld notification devices (surely there is a more succinct way to describe these) go off well before your actual order is ready. I'm not sure if there is a more efficient way to set this up, but it's slightly frustrating to rush up to the counter because your buzzer thingy is going off, only to wait through several other orders before yours comes up. If it weren't so crowded, the additional wait *may* not seem as bad, but... it IS crowded. Bottom line: Not bad for a once-in-a-while trip, but it's not going to be as high on my list of favorite places to eat at Tysons. read more

The burgers, fries, and shakes are extremely good. The restaurant is a bit crowded on weekends and not enough indoor seating. The portions are also on the smaller side. For just a double burger and fries I had already payed 11 bucks. read more

I don't usually order a chicken sandwich at a burger place but I had to give it a try and it was defiantly worth it! The sandwich came out very fresh right when I bit into it everything just melts in your mouth. That buttermilk sauce they put with this chicken sandwich is absolutely amazing it makes it all the better than most chicken sandwiches I've ever had. I always come to this shake shack I've always been a huge fan of this place. I'm never disappointed when coming here! Don't ever be afraid to try new things you'll be surprised. read more

IN & OUT FOREVER!!! Shake shack your interpretation is not a burger this is not tasty I don't know what the hell this s*#t is but its not a burger just a feeble attempt at a good ole American icon and you destroyed it BRAVO! . All you people who swore by shake shack and pushed me for years to just "give it a try" against my better judgement I did, you dumb dumbs are living in the dark. When it comes to burgers the WEST COAST is where its at. I PAID $27.00 FOR TWO BURGERS, dry tasteless (crunchy not in a good way). I don't care if its organic shake shack managed to destroy that poor cow that gave its life. mere mortals compared to IN & OUT. You should be ashamed of yourselves. There's too many good burger places everywhere why these jokers think that it needs fixing I don't know. read more

Food here is great but the set up of the restaurant and the wait times, aren't. I have been to many crowded Shake shacks but they are always efficient in how they set up the lines to order food; not this location. You stand in line for around 30 minutes, and while you think there are 2 people manning cash registers, one is simply counting change. In such a small space, having such a long, non-moving line, doesn't make sense. Have people take an order number or get orders moving quicker. Also, in an area where it is pretty darn cold for most of the year, why is there 6 inside tables? Everyone is practically forced to have to eat outdoors or take their food to go. Overall, I think there needs to be a change of location to keep people coming in. Just while I waited in line, I saw many people get discouraged and leave. read more

Now that shake shack has expanded to so many states it's starting to lose its luster to me. I discovered shake shack back in Nyc , the one in mad sq park where you had to wait in a line that wrapped around the park . Oh those were the days. This location is situated in the plaza in tysons corner mall next to lord and Taylor and the vita apartment building. It's cute, it had both indoor and outdoor seating. Like other shake shack locations the service isn't the fastest, both customer and staff problems . Just go for the normal shack burger or hotdog. I'm a sucker milk shakes so I usually get a black and white shake with it too. Prices are a little higher than normal fast food usually my meal comes out to around $14-15 depending on what I get . Touristy location but when you want a burger you want a burger read more

I got a cheeseburger, drink and fries. I figure a classic meal is a good way to start. It was ok. Tasted like a cheeseburger, drink and fries. It was not terrible, it was not magical. I was really hoping for magical, but all I got was a lame card trick. read more

Service: On point. Ordered efficiently, buzzer went off within 5 minutes of ordering, and staff was very friendly. Efficiency and Kindness, exactly what I like as a part of my dining experience. Food: Also on point. I actually just got back from eating here and I think I may actually give birth. Ordered the Smoke Shack, a Shack-ago, and an order of fries with their craft draft beer. Don't judge lol. Everything was delicious and I don't regret my decision one bit. Environment. This is where the restaurant loses a star. No, not because of noise or atmosphere, but because there are literally only about 15 seats in the restaurant. Outdoor seating is an option, but its about ten degrees outside at the moment and I have no immediate desire for my nipples to fall off. If management were to add an additional attached indoor seating section, I would bump this review up in a heartbeat. read more

I'm really picky about what goes into my burgers because they're one of my favorite foods. I've heard about shake shack being one of the best burger places anyone has ever tried and since it originated in New York, might as well, right? People hyped it up like it was the best burger ever. My opinion? it was good, but it didn't live up to the hype. I ordered the vanilla shake and the double shack burger. Honestly speaking, the shake was disgusting. I hated the shake. It was way too heavy and fatty. Like okay, make the shake however the hell you want; your industry, your shit. BUT, mess up a classic shake?! Oh my god. Well maybe because I'm use to a shake that has just the ice cream and milk... But this one was not sitting well for me at all. It tasted like they used heavy whipping cream and other fatty stuff in the shake to get that fatty and buttery taste. Use. Freakin. Milk. I've never tried their custard, but even with custard, it would not have tasted that terribly. I'm sorry man, but it disappointed me so much. BUT, onto the burger :) Like I said, way too hyped. However, I can see why people like it so much. The menu has a vegetarian option, the fries were crunchy and fluffy with a bit more of greasiness (lol just right), and it doesn't have the whole fancy options of doing whatever with your burger other then the shack sauce. Overall, it's simple. However, the sauce wasn't as good as I hoped. I didn't like the fact that they use American cheese (like the grilled cheese stuff). I know it's the classic way of making a cheese burger but the texture and taste is like plastic. I don't want anything that taste and feels like plastic in my food. The patty, on the other hand, was phenomenal. The best patty I have ever had. It was crispy, juicy, had the right amount of flavoring to it, cooked with a little medium well, had a nice bite to it; It was amazing. The bun was nicely toasted with the oil and the vegetables were helpful to balance all of that out. It wasn't much of it but it was enough to balance it out. I got the double patty, so it didn't balance it well enough but vegetables are nice to have in a burger lol. I would recommend this to certain people who are very simple when it comes to their foods. read more

This is definitely the new burger spot in Tysons corner, ever since they Closed Kraze burger I've been looking for a burger place all over Tysons and this spot is definitely worth the wait and all the hype. although the shakes maybe a little overpriced, I think you get your moneys worth of the burger.

Shake Shack Tysons Corner - Awesome to go bag! - Burgers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

Ordered 2 burgers, a shake, and a side of fries. Got delivered two hours later, shake was melted, burgers were cold and no longer appetizing, and the fries never even showed up. Called customer service three times and received no help/assistance. Filed a complaint on their website almost a week ago and have gotten no response. I was so excited :( read more

Was excited to try Shake Shack, but didn't really have a completely positive experience for my first time here :( Order line moved fast, but it was super noisy at the back. I could hardly hear the cashier and what she instructed me while handing over the buzzer. Wait time for 3 ice cream cups (vanilla and chocolate single scoops), and 1 Salted Caramel shake was well over 18 minutes!! The ice cream was rich and creamy, the chocolate had a deep chocolate flavor which was good. My Salted Caramel shake, which cost $5.29 +tax, didn't seem full when I picked it up. I checked and it was only 3/4th full in the cup! I felt cheated, for the amount paid, it totally was not worth it! Taste was caramel-like rich but not salted. Not sure if I will be back! read more

The location of this place throws me off. It is like on the outside of the mall but on the side. It always seems to be fairly packed. Good luck finding a seat when it is winter time and the outside area is closed. The food here is always good, their milkshakes are the best. The burgers are also really good. The food comes relatively quickly even when it is busy. Nice and cheap option to have if you are at the mall. read more

I love the food at shake shack but unfortunately I had a bad experience today. I ordered a busy bee concrete but the cashier entered the wrong order and entered the pie concrete. Instead of telling me that they didn't have pie and couldn't make it. I kept waiting and watching people who ordered after me pick up their orders. After waiting for a long time my friend went up and asked what happened to my concrete since she already got hers and we ordered at the same time. The guy went back and said they didn't have pie so they IGNORED my order. I finally got the busy bee but I'm really unhappy with their customer service and perfunctory apology. read more

The strawberry shake had an artificial after taste. Yuck! Two starts for the location, staff and menu options.

Always amazing, what can I say? Juicy burgers with buttery buns. I could eat this all day, every day.

After many years of hearing about the glory that is Shake Shack, I had the opportunity to give it a try. I knew the place had been so hyped up that it was likely I would be disappointed. I have to say, the burger really lived up to the sky high expectation. I had a single cheeseburger with bacon, and it was amazing. The fries were good, but that burger is where it's at! read more

I enjoy shake shack! I prefer it in comparison to 5 guys! I feel like, although I know I'm eating my weight in calories, I don't walk away from my feel feeling heavy and with the itis. I've also had a milkshake and the whole meal was a score! Will be back! read more

First you need to know: Shake Shack is located outside Lord and Taylor in the new plaza area. It is outside of the mall by the metro entrance. Hopefully this will keep you from driving in circles like I did! Second: it's small. When the weather is nice out, I bet it's lovely to sit outside with alllll their outdoor seating and enjoy the new plaza but if you're indoors, be prepared to get the stink eye when people think you're holding a table for too long. Overall I thought it was nice to have a SS in northern Virginia as I've only been to two locations in DC. I brought a friend here when we were brainstorming places to eat near her work, and she was so happy I did. I have yet to try any of their shakes which I think is really the high point of Shake Shack. Their burgers are good, but I probably wouldn't make the trek through Lord and Taylor again unless someone suggested it. Their crinkle fries are just okay - I think they're reminiscent of store bought freezer fries. I wish they had the same fries as the Penn Quarter location. I did however go a little daring and get their hotdog with shallots - it was a nice change to my usual burger order and would order it again. read more

Wait time for online orders are kind of extreme, currently waiting for just about an hour, don't recommend if you're in a rush or even if you just wantt to eat in a reasonable amount of time. read more

Shake Shack Tysons Corner - Shack burger - Burgers Near Me - McLean, Virginia

One of the slowest Shake Shack around the DMV, and I thought I've experienced slower before. I've been to this location several times, thinking that the slow service is a one-off experience and I'll be pleasantly surprised in my next visits. Alas, such surprise is nowhere to be found. The staff seems like they never really want to be there, and it takes forever for them to process the order. Often, they would either miss something from our order or make mistakes. If you look into the kitchen, the workers doesn't seem like they're having the best of time either. See, my early memories of Shake Shack were fun. I remember that DC location that first opened. Wow, delicious burgers, delicious shakes, and a fun atmosphere all-around! So, I was greatly disappointed with this location with its service and inconsistent quality. I'll still stop by once in a while because it's convenient and some days you really crave for that cheese fries, you know? But I really do hope that this location steps it up, especially because of how strategically it's located in the Tysons mall! Understandably they get fairly busy... But I really wish they could maintain their quality. read more

I feel like I've sadly been missing out for the past 21 years of my life. I didn't want to come here but was forced by some friends who promised me I wouldn't be disappointed and they were right! I'm not a fan of burgers to begin with but shake shack has such delicious food! I actually got the chicken sandwich but was nibbling on my friends burger too, both were so yummy and flavorful. Their chicken was crispy and tender and their French fries are really good too. Next time I go I will order a real burger :) read more

My burger was very thin, dry, burnt, charred and the beef did not seem like high quality because it was tough to eat as it was full of bone fragments and tough bits, which was very dangerous! The bacon was burnt and hard as a rock, and there was no sauce on it when I specifically asked for extra sauce. The fries were cold and the cheese was gelatinous and did not taste fresh. My shake tasted icy and not fresh and had a weird under taste. What a horrible dinner! In short, an extremely disappointing meal at Shake Shack! read more

I went in on a Saturday evening and I didn't know what to expect. I live very far so coming to Tysons was a mission. It was my first time so when I walked in, there was 2 people ahead of me so I did not wait long. I ordered the Double Smokeshack with cheese fries and a small drink. My total came out to $16 and some change. It is much pricier than Five Guys I'll tell you that. The burger was okay. I liked the sweet pepper in the burger a lot but overall it was way too salty. The meat was already salty and the bacon made it worse. Fries tasted like they were from the frozen section in a grocery aisle and the cheese tasted so processed. Overall, I would give 2 stars but I gave an extra one because of the service. The staff was extremely friendly and I felt comfortable being there. read more

The location sucks during the winter because you have to exit the building to get to it. However, with a playground right outside their door my family and I will certainly be there often throughout the warmer months. The burgers are top notch and the new fried chicken they have is off the charts! You can't go wrong with this place. read more

I love this location. So pretty and happy. The chicken stack is legit amazing - super crispy and juicy, yummy buttermilk dressing and pickles. The shack stack is also really good, the combo of meat and cheese stuffed mushroom is the best of both worlds. The buns might be my favorite part - so good. The custard is yummy, but I find the crinkle fries boring. And it takes a long time to get your food, so be prepared. read more

For a fast food burger it's a solid choice when you're in Tysons, we've eaten at this location at least more than 5 times now. I actually enjoy the crinkle cut fries since they're so crispy and the best part is that they also have delicious Abita root beer. I've heard the shakes are always great, can't partake in them myself, but the significant other always drinks them up. My usual order is a single shack burger, add bacon and pickles. If we're feeling saucy we get the cheese fries (I'm lactose intolerant but sometimes make an exception). In the summer the outdoor patio is great, the inside is tiny and fills up incredibly fast, they really should have built a much larger location as it is always packed. Next time you get off the metro give in to the temptation and stop it for a bite. read more
