Everything is what you would expect from a shake shack, excellent burger, shake and fries, I really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if all Shake Shacks are going this route, but they now only do self ordering on location. read more

Smaller shake shack located in Wellesley Square, but one of the most delicious! My girlfriend and I ordered double cheeseburgers, cheese fries/spicy fries, and chicken nuggets. The service here was great, they went above and beyond in helping us apply our remaining gift card balance to our order. The burgers were cooked very well and all of the toppings were fresh. The chicken nuggets were excellent - dare I say better than some of their fast food competitors who excel in the fried chicken field... the cheese fries were great but underwhelming- I wish they had a bit more cheese on them. Overall, we left here feeling full and satisfied. read more

So I have a form of cancer that means I need to avoid certain foods that are mast cell antagonists, otherwise I'll go into anaphylactic shock, which, if you don't know, can be fatal. Chocolate is one of the things I need to avoid. Super annoying, but 99.9999999% of restaurants are accommodating when it comes to not violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. Not the Wellesley Shake Shack! So today I saw that they had a Dubai Chocolate milkshake, which would be 100% safe for me if we removed the chocolate (it sounds silly I know but it would still be really good). I was super excited about this, I had to put my dog to sleep this weekend, it's been a rough couple of days and the idea of a pistachio milkshake sounded great. The staff and manager at this location basically told my husband to cope harder when he tried to order this with modifications and said that they weren't interested in or willing to be accommodating. Which is ridiculous because I've absolutely had "secret menu" shakes made for me over the years with modifications at the West Hollywood and Madison Square Park locations. This isn't some Michelin star restaurant, this is "hey can I get a milkshake without chocolate" and their attitude is apparently that anaphylaxis is better than swapping one ingredient out of a milkshake. So if the current dystopian climate of racism, antisemitism, homophobia just wasn't doing it for you in terms of "life just isn't causing enough unnecessary or pointless harm to people" you should absolutely go to the Wellesley Shake Shack Where you'll be able to add some old-school ableism to your "I can't believe this is happening in 2025" bingo card. This location and possibly this whole chain is unsafe for people with allergies. read more

Amazing Service, and some of the best Vegetarian food around hands down. I recently came in for the first time ever and I already love this place, they made me feel welcomed, comfortable and went above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Very clean restaurant, I received my food hot and tasty. I will definitely frequent this place when I'm in the Wellesley area. read more

A very large location with ample seats. I came in to try the truffle burger. The burger was good overall. But here are my critiques. 1. I got the lettuce wrap. I thought it would be a similar concept to In and Out where they fill the lettuce wrap and wrap it snuggling. I was not, they tossed the paty with what I think is think corporate allows them to fill it with. 2. The patty was a bit salty, to be fair I usually eat a low sodium diet so I might be more sensitive. 3. The truffle sauce was very good and they should sell it separate. Overall not a bad experience. The staff was extremely kind. read more

Solid and yummy takeout experience at Shake Shack Wellesley (only JUST found out they are here--where have I been?!). Easy preordering/prepay online, I customized 3 burgers, one veggie, no cheese or sauce, extra peppers for my vegan hubby, another smoke shack burger for my BIL, and bacon burger for me. Plus perfectly crispy crinkle fries. Easy free parking behind shop. Food was getting ready when I arrived, so freshly made and hot! Service was minimal but friendly. Burgers were all to spec, eaten at home and simply delicious. Nice add to the area! read more

Had an offer from Uber eats, figured to give a new place a chance. Delivery was requested. The price seemed right, so why not. In the order were two shakes, two burgers and a chicken sandwich. When food arrived, no labels on boxes. "Strawberry "shake in name only. I know it's not going to be hot, but it was alright. The sauces were not labeled, so how was I to know which was which. Not going to rule them out, but, not going to rush there for dinner. read more

Tipping is part of the order process... So I picked up my order after 15 minutes, and all the drinks were missing. Trying to get the staff's attention was merely impossible as they do not acknowledge people. I finally pointed to my bag and said my drinks are missing and without saying a word one guy looked at the bag and gave me one drink. It took 20 more minutes to get the other drinks. Finally took the food home and discovered they left the cheese off the BBQ cheese fries. I do like the smoke shack burger. Not sure that's enough for me. read more

I HAD A SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION THAT SENT ME TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM EVEN AFTER SPECIFYING MY ALLERGENS IN MY ORDER! THIS NEARLY KILLED ME! The ER had to give me steroids and a second dose of epinephrine to open my throat and stop the reaction. Do NOT ever come here if you have any sort of dietary restrictions. I marked my allergies multiple times during the ordering process and they still gave me a burger containing sauce I was allergic to. They also didn't give me a receipt, almost like they knew the mistake they were making. Allergies are no joke, and this Shake Shack is staffed by clowns. My attorney will be in contact with this place. read more

So excited about this opening in the former Gap location. Very clean and spacious inside. But the service level needs to be improved dramatically. I realize it's a new location, but the service staff needs to have a much better attitude dealing with customers. The pads on the side didn't work on my order, so I had to put the order in with a person there. And then there multiple mistakes in the order which I only realized after taking it home. Hoping these are just early speed bumps. read more

They have a nice selection of seasonal flavors available in froyo, hard scoop, or soft serve. We decided to try a milkshake and the blueberry pie flavor. The blueberry pie ice cream was good, a little sweet but not overly so, with a genuine fruit taste. The milkshake was of the thicker, more substantial variety, but wasn't so thick that it was hard to drink. The price felt right for the generous portions, and we left feeling satisfied. Just a friendly heads-up for those sensitive to dairy: we did need to take lactaid pills afterward, so it might be something to watch out for if you're lactose intolerant. Overall, Truly's is a solid, popular local spot that clearly draws a crowd for good reason, even on chilly nights.

I found out it's a Massachusetts ice cream chain with locations in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Somerville, Newton, Wellesley, Andover, Lynnfield, and Dedham. When you walk into their colorful store, you'll see the big menu board highlighting their frozen treats - Ice Cream & Hard Yogurt Flavors, Soft & Tart Yogurt Flavors, Frappes, Smoothies, Dairy Free Drinks, Toppings, Sundaes, Splits, and more. We saw ice cream cakes and pies, ice cream sandwiches, cupcakes and so much more. They even have a coffee bar with hot breakfast & snacks like oatmeal, waffles, croissant and egg sandwiches, etc. I went into their Feature Flavors menu and was delighted to find a personal favorite - Orange Chocolate Chip "Creamy orange ice cream with soft, dark chocolate chips". It was outstanding. My wife went with a dish of Coconut Almond Chip - "Ultra coconut creamy ice cream with sweet, shredded coconut, roasted salted almonds, and semisweet chocolate chips in this chewy-crunchy textural delight". I sampled it and enjoyed it more than mine! Small cups ran over $5 apiece, so be forewarned. The young crew working at J.P. Licks was friendly and fun to chat with.
