Great burgers and fries, friendly staff and fast service. The place is nice and clean. Always busy because their burgers are good.

I ordered the new Korean Kimchee Chicken Sandwich. There were many problems with it: (a) it did not look like what was in the picture, (b) it was tiny, (c) it was saturated in sweet sauce, (d) maybe a teaspoon of kimchee was spread on it, (e) the bun was soggy and too small. I should've asked for my money back but human interaction is hard to come by at these places. I used to wait in a long line to eat at the original Shake Shack in Madison Garden in NYC for a simple burger at a reasonable price. Now, there is no line, no people, and terrible food at a high price. How is it that In & Out can still make a decent, fresh sandwich for under $5 and this sugary, greasy thing I just ate is $13? read more

Finally tried a Shake Shack burger and In-N-Out is still king hands down. The bun was somewhat sweet interrupting the main ingredients and their special sauce was impotent making me add ketchup for some zing. I may try one of their specialty sandwiches and the fries some other time but definitely no hurry. read more

I haven't been to this UTC location in years. It's now a big hangout for teenagers. Not a relaxing place for a sit-down meal. I tried their new Korean K-Shack Fried Chicken sandwich. It was quite tasty with the right amount of sauce. Their fries were as good as I remembered. Everything is pretty much self-serve but orderly. Next time, we will just order to-go. read more

Shroom burger is tiny compared to pictures, it was like 3.5 in in diameter, smaller than my palm for sure. Would not recommend even tho it was tasty bc paying $11.30 for something this small feels like a ripoff Do note I ordered it lettuce wrapped but bc the mushroom itself was so tiny, the lettuce wrap was much larger so I had to remove the wrap to eat it read more

Something happened to the food at shake shack. I was never a big fan because of price to food amount, but the food was good. Now the food isn't good. I had a hamburger with nothing on it and meat tasted cheap, greasy, and bad. I tried a bite of the regular shack cheese burger and it still tasted bad with everything on it. The fries tasted worse than I last had, but not that much worse. The workers were nice, so that is why it's two stars instead of one star. read more

Being a "fast food" restaurant I really feel their service is restaurant quality. Ordering food from the kiosk was super simple and burgers came out HOT. Chef was COOKING that day. The patty had a nice crisp to it and the brioche buns were pillowy soft. Perhaps they just came out of the oven as I was there around opening time. Right now til Oct 31 they have a BOGO deal for Double Shack Burger. Use code SPOOKY. Ya WELCOME. read more

I've eaten at shake shack plenty of times in plenty of locations. Overall I do love shake shack burgers but over the years the burger has gotten smaller and smaller, but more and more expensive so it's hard for me to constitute buying a burger from them. However this review is specifically for their seasonal Dubai chocolate shake- I've been dying to try it ever since I saw it on IG. It's aesthetically really pleasing and you can crack the chocolate on the sides into the shake. Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations- I think it was too sweet too me and wasn't quite the taste I was expecting? I prefer the texture of their regular custard shakes. Also $10 for this shake is crazyyy to me. So I only sipped it a bit, but had to throw it away ultimately. read more

First time here at Shake Shack. We dined in on a weekend morning shortly after their opening time. The dining space was spotless since the restaurant just opened. As you enter, you can place your order through the self service kiosks. There are three kiosk stations to move the process along with more patrons. If you need more assistance, you can place your order with the staff. There were plenty of staff enthusiastically setting up for the day and constantly offering their assistance. Our group ordered the staple burgers, shakes and fries, which were a little heavy on the spicy seasoning. The burgers are a smaller size which is not on par with the price point. The quick meal served its purpose, since we needed to do some walking around afterwards. read more

After 5 years, it's time to return to Shake Shack in La Jolla! I tried the ShackBurger with pickles and sliced onions, while my sister went for the Avocado Bacon Chicken sandwich and Bacon Fries. It's nice to sit both inside or outside, but we preferred the outdoor seating. The food was super yummy, even if it's a bit oily, haha! It's a burger, so why be shocked? Lol. Definitely easy and when you miss burger, time to return. Plus I like burger rather chicken hehe. read more

Got their French Onion Soup burger and I gotta say, my cat's taking a fat dump right now and despite how bad that smells, even if it smelled that bad right next to my face while I was eating that French Onion Soup burger, I'd still eat it because the burger is THAT damn good. It was like they did some Willy Wonka with a brazilian butt lift badonka level trickery straight from Lazytown's Robbie Rotten school of being Number One with tricks, I tell ya. Wanted to inhale it and wail it Wayne's World style. All these 90's and 80's references have nothing to do with the food, obviously, I just wanted to make this review stick in your head so you think about getting that French Onion Soup burger because you are straight up robbing (not Robbie) yourself if you don't. Had to do a little trickery on the toilet to get enough room to finish the rest of the burger, and I'm happy to say the bathrooms were pretty clean too, especially for such a public place. The only down point? The server messed up putting the food for in-house rather than to-go, but you know, I'm not even gonna dock 0.1 points for that one. The burger's just too good. Fries were pretty good too. But that burger... read more

While I was visiting my daughter at UCSD we decided to have lunch here. The burgers are small compared to any other burgers, it's almost a slider !!! It is very crowded inside and outside, we sat outside since the weather was nice. The fries aren't that great but when you're hungry anything will taste good. I did notice there were a lot of rude tourists eating there other than that our service was great !! read more

Kindness and patience goes a long way. I was frustrated trying to order from the app which is what I usually do when I am taking my order to go. For some reason it wasn't working and when I went to the restaurant I was told I had to order from the kiosk. I prefer to just give my order to someone so it's taken correctly and was upset that I would have to go through this again. I was reluctant and asked for a manager. Ron was AMAZING! Something so simple as to take my order, apologize about the technical issues (they have been experiencing as well), and to offer a free dessert which was not expected but appreciated. It was a small thing but it was a BIG thing to me! Thank you so much for your kindness and not making me feel technically challenged! I love Shake Shack and the amazing service you provided! read more

Honestly I love Shake Shack and it is great place for fast food. Their fries are great and I recommend trying their seasonal fries. I have had the truffle fries and the spicy korean bbq fries. I love those more than the fries they have in their regular menu. Their burgers and chicken shack is made great. It's not too big of a portion, so you can definitely finish one. I recommend trying the shakes as it is really rich and smooth and tastes like drinkable ice cream. read more

I visit the Shake Shack at Westfield UTC and the Del Mar locations equally. I tend to reserve lunch pickups for the Westfield UTC location because trying to get into the UTC parking lots at dinnertime takes forever. I do dinner pickups at the Del Mar location, which is painful but not as painful at UTC. At this point, I have eaten every burger on the TOP BURGER LISTS in San Diego, and on the top of my list is a Shake Shack cheeseburger. The potato roll is soft and fresh, it really cannot be beat. I get my patty well-done for a nice char. i love the shack sauce and always ask for extra cups to dip my fries. I have stopped putting lettuce on the cheeseburger, because the one flaw of Shake Shack is that none of the San Diego locations are able to purchase lettuce that is not wilted. Crinkle-cut fries are not the school cafeteria crinkle cut fries of our 90s childhood. They are so crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a perfectly salty seasoning. I got a fried chicken sandwich for the first time as part of their Sunday promotion. It was good, but I think I will stick to the burgers here and save the chicken sandwich cravings for elsewhere. The chicken was not as crispy nor was the sandwich as flavorful as those I can get from Popeyes. I have never dined in, I only ever do mobile pickups. Service at pickup counter is attentive and quick. read more

I tried the veggie shack burger and the patty was rich in flavor. Their cheese fries are also delicious but pretty heavy. Perfect size to share! There is limited seating, so you would need to go at a pretty good time. Many places around the mall where there are dinning tables to sit and eat if there is no space here. Kiosks are also available for an easy ordering. read more

This location's Shake Shack has always hit the spot! We ordered two burgers, the shack stack was so tasty with the cheese in the shroom part of it oozing out on every bite. Second burger was a new menu item, may be seasonal, the double truffle, super tasty. The fries we ordered has cheese and bacon, great flavor. We sat outside that day because we had a dog, it was well lit and the server found us easily, which was great! Staff were friendly and it's such a good location within the mall. We are definitely coming back again! read more

I just ordered takeout from here! I really enjoy the vegetarian burger option. I despise Impossible burgers so it was nice how this patty is made from veggies/beans. The fries were hot and crispy but could use more seasoning. The shakes are also amazing! I like the cookies and cream one. Friendly service and nice ambiance. read more

Easy to order either through their kiosk or at the counter. The staff was really nice and welcoming. Minus 1 star due to the cleanliness of the patio. We had our dog with us, so we opted to sit in the patio, but there was a lot of food scraps and napkins on the floor in the patio, as well as the tables looked like they needed to be wiped down. We had to get some wipes to clean our table that was really sticky. Now the food we ordered: - Single Shack burger. It was nicely assembled and tasty. I would have preferred it included more lettuce in the burger. - Single Smoke shack burger, it was juicy and the cherry peppers added a nice kick. -Spicy Korean BBQ fries, they were so crispy, but I wanted to have more of the kimchi seasoning. The side of Korean bbq sauce was very nice and added some extra boldness instead of plain ketchup - Plain fries, they were so crispy and delicious read more

Clean inside the dining area, but bathroom was super dirty. Price: $8.99 each for burger. Spicy fries, $4.89 & regular fries $4.09 read more

Came here after watching a movie last night! Got a shake and some Parmesan garlic fries. They're pretty standard quality items and nothing stood out to me particularly. I'd just say the fries could've been more crispy read more

Price point is greater than to the serving size of their burgers Avo bacon burger tastes good but nothing to write home about . Note to avocado lovers like myself , they use an avocado spread. Not the real thing. Disappointing ! A fast food joint in the mall. Inside and patio seating . Inside gets crowded. No thought put into the design of eating comfortably. I prefer the patio seating . Service is standard. You order and pay . You eat in, get a number and the food gets brought to your seat. Note to self. They don't take cash tips. So if you want to leave a tip, you have to do that at the time you pay, not after . read more

We came on a weeknight and parked by the Crate and Barrel - a bit of a walk over. We ordered at the kiosk and got an Avocado Burger w/gluten-free bun and no onions, Double Burger, Cheese Fries, and Chocolate Shake. The total was around $35. Make sure to click Edit on your item and then Customize in order to add lettuce, change buns, or remove onions! We sat inside at a booth, and we got our food fast. Service was good. All of the food was good. The gluten-free bun is potato and really good. The cheese they use on the fries is polarizing - some people love it and some people (me) think there's something alien about it but can't quite put their finger on it. This location is very light and airy and spacious. Lots of tables but well-spaced. They have their own bathrooms inside! (No need to go look for a mall bathroom.) I think this is one of the better places to eat if you're at this mall. read more

Visited the mall to shop around and didn't realize there was a Shake Shack here! Upon arrival, everything was self served where you can order off an iPad. There was also a general cashier as well in case you needed assistance / the line got long. There was one employee here who was super nice and went around helping everyone order and sharing his input on what is good. I enjoyed how proactive he was with customers and his customer service was amazing! Thank you! I am so happy they have GF bread!!!! I was so excited when I saw that. My burger was delicious and the kids enjoyed their food as well. The chicken nuggets were ok, nothing fancy or special there. Just your tulle fries and nuggets. There is plenty of seating here. From outside to indoor, it's your choice. The staff is really good at keeping everything tidy and tables are spacious and seating as well. Overall great location. read more

As I engulf my Avocado Bacon Chicken sandwich with bacon cheese fries, I hear a passer-by say to her friend, "OMG that burger looks so good." Yes, it really is :) I often come here with the kiddos and pups for their shakes and/or treats. It's nice to detour and have some alone time w/ a hefty meal. The sandwich wasn't super hot -so if I take the food home I will usually reheat for 15 seconds. But this time I just wanted to eat it on the spot, so the temperature was a trade-off. The workers here are always friendly and work very hard. They will hook me up with a side of shack sauce upon request. read more
