I was extremely excited to be able to eat a burger & hotdog with my husband. This place has gluten free products. I didn't realize when I ordered my burger that there was a gluten item on it, but the staff alerted me immediately & separated the items so that my husband could eat them. The ambiance was nice, family friendly & open. I'm just so excited to be able to actually eat food without worry! read more

We got the double shack burgers and the Parmesan garlic fries, which I believe are here for just a limited amount of time. They were delicious and came with a super good aioli! Tip: get the app! There's tons of promos on there and we got the bogo burger. Conveniently located near a ton of cool restaurants and grocery stores! read more

tried the new smoky classic bbq burger and the carolina bbq burger with fried pickles. let me say that they did a phenomenal job on the fried pickles. one of my favorite fried pickles to date! both burgers were good but the carolina had a slight heat to it that i wasn't expecting and didn't care for. the fries were crispier than normal and were probably the best that i've had from any shake shack. we ordered at the kiosk and it seems there are some redundant and extra steps in the ordering process... but it was pretty simple. as we were dining in, the food was brought to our table. plenty of seats to choose from both inside and outside on their covered patio. i saw some reviews saying the music was way too loud but it was fairly subtle to me and not overwhelming. read more

Over priced. Red Robin's is a better Value and better ambience. Burger and fries total $13 for very small burger and few options. Culver's is a better value for similar burger and a lot more choices. read more

Fantastic shakes and burgers. Had the chance to try several of their burgers and shakes. My favorite was the mushroom burger, but the rest were close 2nd. The shake was also great, didn't try any of the fancy winter themed ones, but I'm sure they would've been solid. read more

I haven't been here in a while and heard about the chicken sandwich so decided to give it a try on a Sunday afternoon. Got the regular chicken sandwich and a sunset lemonade. Both were very good and I would get both again. The piece of chicken was bigger than the bun and very good. I like the condiment and shredded lettuce and pickles on it. Really makes a nice sandwich. The service was good both at the register and the young man who brought the food. The place was clean and the drink station was clean and well maintained. That's where the napkins and ketchup are too. Drinks are self serve except for tea....you have to go up and ask for it. The music is very loud and I imagine with a lot of people in the room it would be hard to hear anyone at your table. They have outdoor seating but it was not a good day for it. Maybe it's quieter out there. They have computers set up where you can order but you have to use a card to pay. read more

My favorite spot for burgers (this location specifically!) The food is always delivered hot, accurately, and quickly.

I have a love-hate relationship with this shake shack. Love how delicious the food is, and that seasonal menu always has something with a twist. Hate how small the portions are at a premium price and how service can be hit or miss. Let's be real, their burgers are The burgers of fast food. Delicious. I tried them all and I'd say my favorite one is SmokeShack (yummy bacon and cheese) followed by ShroomShack (cheese stuffed mushroom). They also have seasonal ones pretty regularly, that's always a good pick. I loved Korean bbq one and truffle one back when they were available. Make sure to get shake sauce on a side! I'm also OBSESSED with seasonal milk shakes. They are SO GOOD! Birthday cake with sprinkles is my all-time fave but just now I tried Oreo funnel cake and it is Oreo perfection! But yeah everything is priced high, double shakeburger is over $10. Again, this is fast food we're talking about. Or take chicken nuggets, I ordered them once and it was the tiniest saddest looking 6 nuggets I've ever seen in my life. Service is also eh, sometimes they're fast but sometimes you'd wait like 20 minutes for your order even when the place doesn't seem to be crowded. So yeah for that I had to take down a star. Still like the place though. read more

I returned to try Shake Shack and after this experience, I was happy that I gave it another shot. I went super early and was the first customer in line on a Sunday. All of my food came out fresh and quite delicious! The burger with the pepper was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. The fries were super hot! It paired well with the sauce. The blackberry drink complimented the meal very well. Overall, I look forward to trying Shake Shack again in the near future. read more

Very convenient location next to a lot of nice other restaurants and there's a small little Park outside. What can I say, it's a smashburger - nothing really special about it but there's nothing bad about it. Just tastes like a standard burger, which is pretty much expected, a little pricey for what it is but I guess all burgers nowadays are starting to be at this price point. I could probably get a burger at Burger King or McDonald's for the same if not cheaper price, and be more filled. The restaurant was a little busy when we went, but the tables could be cleaned a little more. All else, it's a burger joint. read more

Came here for the first time today and had a wonderful experience. I placed my order through the app and was texted when my order was ready. Went inside and noticed a clean and organized restaurant. The gentleman with what sounded like a British accent?? welcomed me and helped me retrieve my order on the pick up shelf. I thought he was really kind to come away from the order counter to show me the pick-up shelf. He also told me to stay warm. Very sweet. I will definitely come back again and recommend this location. Food was hot, fresh, and so frickn delicious! I'd say it's on par with In-n-Out. Had a double cheeseburger and fries and it was delish! read more

Solid quality food freshly made and full of flavor. The service is quite friendly and decently prompt. The interior is clean, well set up/decorated and quite inviting with plenty of seating available indoors and on the patio area. A little bit on the pricier side for this kind of food in my opinion, but I'd still likely recommend. read more

I absolutely love the taste of their Shroom Burger but it is just so small that any adult would need two of these. My 9 year old is always left a bit hungry after having it. I wish they would use bigger portobello mushrooms and give us a bigger version! read more

I have been wanting to try Shake Shack for a long time and I have to say, it does not disappoint! This is good news because I'm actually not the biggest burger fan. The only burger I love is Al's in Chapel Hill. However, this burger was great in that it was cooked so that it was still tender, not over cooked, and the bun was delicious! Also I need more of that Shack Sauce. Will have to come back to try the milkshakes! read more

On my COV-19 outing and had a taste for something I was cooking. After riding around seeing the sights I was happy to find Shake Shack open. Shake Shack had a setup for you to pick up your food, call your name and you are done! We ordered on sight, they took our number called us when it was done extremely fast. You could also order online and just pick up your food. I ordered the shrooms burger and fries. The burger was a bit plan, I think I will ask for extra sauce. The cheese was nicely melted inside and the crust was crispy. I can't wait to try the shrooms again. read more

The burger, fries, and shake were all really good, if expensive. One major issue: they served me rotten avocado on the burger. It was black+brown all the way through. I went to the counter and told them the avocado was bad and asked if there was any possibility that I could get replacement avocado. The employee smiled and said "oh, we don't have avocado right now." Then laughed as if to indicate that I must understand. That was all. No "hey, sorry for putting this rotten stuff on your food." So if they were out, did I get the last of the avocado? Did they see mine and say "okay, we can't serve this anymore"? I said okay and walked away to get some ketchup after this and a cook came out from the back and asked to see the avocado. She took this opportunity to tell me I was wrong, that the avocado "isn't rotten, it's just not ripe." I said okay because I didn't want to cause trouble, but look: I'm from california and have eaten avocados my entire life. Unripe avos are BRIGHT green and very firm. Rotten/overripe ones are black and brown and very soft. Guess what this was? Weird flex to exit the kitchen just to tell me i am wrong about the avocado you now refuse to keep serving. And to never apologize for putting it on my burger in the first place. Or offer me any remedy. Churro shake was great though read more

And Take Two, ACTION! The manager reached out to me and wanted us to give Shake Shack a try again. We were offered a complimentary meal code to use within the app for future orders. First, I believed this to be a great gesture in addition to acknowledging that there were some errors in the prior service and welcoming us back to try them again (as that was not their norm). We ordered our meal through the app around 3:30pm and it stated it would be ready by 3:45pm. I pulled up and checked in as stated in the app. At about 3:48pm, I was greeted by an employee with my HOT food. Everything was prepared properly and hot! We will definitely be going back. The food was so fresh and delicious. **Mouth Starts to Water...** can we talk about that cheese sauce??? If you haven't had it - do yourself a favor and do so! It is liquid GOLD! If you get it to go, they place it on the side - even better for dipping! read more

I think the burgers are pretty good but a little over hyped and over priced. I really expected them to have a few more options. Its basically like 4 burgers and one is a veggie burger, chicken nuggets, a chicken sandwich, a hot dog, and fries two ways. The shakes are good but again the variety is pretty lacking for a place called shake shack. Oh and no kids menu? Well no combos of any kind. The staff is always nice but it seems like something gets messed up every time I've come here. I like that they have a lettuce wrap options for the burgers. read more

I have frequented multiple Shake Shacks in Charlotte and I LOVE the Shack Stack. Juicy portobello mushroom cuddled above warm ooey gooey cheese that stretches when you take a bite all encased in fried breading that tastes fabulous. My favorite!!! The only, only downside is that the burger is small. I could eat two but the price is not appealing. It's just this one burger that I will crave with a side of crinkly fries and bbq sauce. **Tip: if you want honey mustard or bbq sauce, ask the front because they have it! read more

Good but overpriced! Shake Shack is pretty popular and everyone was excited when one was coming to town. I live in the North Raleigh area, but was in the Cary area one evening and decided to try it out. It's a bit too far away from me to go on a regular basis so I was glad to get the opportunity. They are located at Waverly Place which has a variety of shops and restaurants so parking wasn't an issue. I could see it possibly being an issue during dinner or lunch rush or over the weekends, but there is plenty of parking available. It is clean and organized. The food is good, but way too overpriced for what you get. The primary reason for how overpriced it was is because everything is A-La-Carte. I personally don't like restaurants that serve food this way unless the prices are much more reasonable. I ordered a Single Smokeshack with a lettuce bun ($7.29) and an order of fries ($3.09). My friend ordered a Single Cheeseburger with a regular bun ($5.79) and cheese fries ($4.09). We both ordered waters to drink and our total came out to be about $22. You can go other places and get the same quality with a bit larger portion for less. This is not to say the food wasn't good, but it definitely wasn't worth the price. I don't mind paying for good quality and portions, but this didn't match up to the price at all. I did, however, appreciate the option to customize my order. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience I just won't be frequenting. read more

When it comes to burgers, it's hard to go wrong but with the new Shake Shack in Cary, everything's really, really right! From the jewel-box type building to the solid, fast-casual service and the delicious eats, Shake Shack elevates the burger a notch up for the area. Yes, the place is still popular and you may run into lines during peak hours but they move people along pretty quickly. With a tight menu of 5 or so sandwiches, chicken options and shakes, it doesn't take long to order and the staff here is patient. Grab a buzzer, grab yo drink and then grab a table. Shake Shack has a nice patio overlooking the Waverly Place commons down below. But it's all about the food, amiright?! Shake Shack puts their high-quality beef and chicken in a wonderful potato bun and just the right amount of toppings. Thin-sliced tomato, a perfect leaf of lettuce and super melty American cheese. The balance in their burgers is excellent and I prefer the basic Shack Burger to the Smokehouse Shack. Fries are perfectly crisped crinkle cuts which hold a lot of ketchup (or your condiment of choice) for good eating. The burgers are also nicely grilled for some good old flavor! Beer and wine are available giving you some nice beverage options for your meal. I know there are a lot of complaints about the waits and so on but it's not entirely fair to ding a place due to its good eats and popularity. And overall I'm impressed by Shake Shack and what it's delivering. I'll definitely be back sometime soon to enjoy that delicious seared beef! And dive into the shakes but after a 1,000+ calorie meal, it's sorta tough to add more! So happy to have you in the Triangle, Shake Shack. And for that special occasion, you're my #1,000 Yelp review! read more

Waverly Place has been hyping up Shake Shack for awhile and I've been waiting. I use to go to Shake Shack a bunch when I lived in MA and I always loved it. I will say the Triangle has a ton of amazing local burger options, but I think Shake Shack is a great addition to Cary and is the perfect spot to bring the fam. I went on opening day and they had the whole crowd control thing under control. They run these openings like a well oiled machine. I went with the Shack Burger and tried out a bunch of shakes (black sesame, coffee, and vanilla). The black sesame shake is only around for a limited time and I recommend giving it a go. Unique taste, but not super overpowering. I'm usually a fan of black sesame desserts though so I knew what to expect. The coffee shake was wayyyy too bitter for me. I like sweet coffee in general and definitely when it comes to my shakes. This is the only thing I wouldn't get again. The vanilla shake was delicious and just what you are looking for in the classic flavor. Fries are standard, crisp, hot, and a solid companion to your burger. This location has a ton of indoor seating and a beautiful patio as well overlooking the Waverly Place park. When the weather cools down it will be the perfect spot to grab a burger and enjoy the patio with the fam. read more
