I'd never had the bacon cheese fries before, and they definitely didn't disappoint. The fries were hot, perfectly crispy, and paired beautifully with the rich, creamy melted cheese and smoky bacon. They were easily the highlight of the meal. The staff was also incredibly friendly, which always makes the experience better when you're traveling. Next time, I'll definitely be back to try one of their burgers alongside another order of those fantastic bacon cheese fries. A great stop if you're looking for a satisfying meal before your flight.

From past bad experiences with burgers and product quality issues in many different airport restaurants, I normally don't order burgers because they are always cold, dry, tasteless, and downright horrible. But this burger from Shake Shack was surprisingly very good. I ordered from the self-serving kiosk and the wait time for my order was about 5 minutes. The entire restaurant including the counter area, dining area, and even the condiments station was all very clean and inviting. I ordered the Double Shack Burger made with two smashed angus beef patties, American cheese, and topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and Shack Sauce on a toasted potato bun, an order of fries and a 20 oz bottled drink for $24.79. A little step, but of course, all menu items are à la carte, and this is airport dining. The bun was fresh soft, and lightly toasted. The burger patties were nicely smashed, hot, juicy, the cheese melted and all the condiments were fresh, cool, and bright. This burger was prepared with care and assembled beautifully to create the perfect burger. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly cooked, lightly salted, and golden brown. This was by far the BEST airport burger and fries I have ever eaten. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-03-26 Shake Shack | Newark Liberty International Airport | Terminal A

Difference is in the service, cleanliness, and the ingredients (while it should I taste the same, but sometimes... the rice is undercooked.. and over salted). This location is conveniently near the Prudential Center, just 5 mins. Got myself a chicken bowl - there was a 10 min wait for honey chicken. The rice was cooked - chicken wasn't tough, tomato & corn salsa has good flavors... sadly the guac was kind of bland... still a good bowl. I needed a little substance for the next 5 hours to endure a concert and a potential long commute back to the city at night. Tables needed cleaning, but overall, good enough.

Also, the beans were on the bottom and nearly leaking through the bowl. Would I order again? Probably because of the prices compared to the spots inside Gateway. Update: I went back three more times and it's been a lot better. I guess the key is not to order ahead? lol The trick is to get here before the 12:00 rush, it'll cut time in half! It's super close to Prudential so you can have a quick bite before heading to an event. Parking is none existent so good luck if you drive in, however it's a close walk from Pru.

I also remove the mayonnaise, not being a mayo fan.The bun was huge containing a lot of commercial potato sticks which detracts from the burger. Please real potato products would help. The patty was too thin but good. And of course t he e corn add a nice regional touch. I think that it's a tad overpriced at $10-11. I would price it at about $7- the general price of a McDonald's Big Mac. Why? Because although it's a fresher burger with some idiosyncrasies, the Big Mac is more substantial. All in all, worth a try. Plus a lot of unique items on the menu that I look forward to trying. The burgers just need plumping up. I like them and will be back. Try them.

I gave away the bananas. The guac was very flavorful - a tad too sour but still very good. The side of broccoli was done perfectly with a bit of flavor and some crunch. The spinach however was maybe the best I've had. Not sure how they made it so good but wasn't simply with garlic. I had a piece of the branzino and thought it was also tasty with a nice fried crunch. The iced tea was perfectly caffeinated but maybe a tad small. It is supposedly unlimited but I didn't take advantage of that. The restrooms were also clean. I just wish they had some lounge chairs in there. Service was fast and diner style. Get what you need and get out of there. No one was rude, but no one was overly friendly. They all did their job and a 20% tip was automatically included. No concerns but thought it would be worth highlighting.

The portions are always great -- big, expect to take some food home unless you come hungry and have a big appetite! Our fave app is the general tso cauliflower, perfectly crisp and saucy. My child's fave is the George's Special. I love to try the specials, this time I tried the pork belly Benedict and OMG it was delicious, whoever invented and cooked it deserves a raise. A great portion and cut of pork belly, on top of their buttery biscuit, yummy poached eggs with a drizzle of chili oil that really sent this to the next level and crispy onions to top it all off. It came with breakfast potatoes but I think a side salad would also component this decadent meal nicely, too. Service is usually good. Ambience is pretty loud with music and chatter but my baby slept right through it. Entrance is stroller friendly which is great. The booths are car seat friendly too if you don't want to bring in the stroller.

We ended up getting the dumpling soup, k pop chicken, and kimchi pancake! I was happy about the portion sizes, and I was delightfully surprised that the "small" kimchi pancake is actually so filling! The dumpling soup was so comforting, especially with the cold weather, and there were tiny rice cakes in there too. The k pop chicken was crunchy, and it came with a side of slaw which was also very fresh and crisp. Overall, I love this place. I've been here a couple times in the past for their bibimbap, and I've never been disappointed! Definitely will be back!

Backed by celebrity investors like LeBron James and Maria Shriver, the concept is an assembly-line approach to customizable artisanal-style pies. Think Chipotle, but make it pizza. Personal sized, thin crust pizza (6 slices) is built right in front of you in an open kitchen, then fired in an oven for 3 minutes. You can finish things off with drizzles of various sauces or a handful of arugula if you fancy extra embellishment. Choose a signature pie or build your own - I love that you can have any toppings for one flat price. For the allergen or diet conscious: gluten-free, cauli, and keto crusts are all available alongside the original and high-rise doughs. We also tried the protein-zza, a California-style chicken & veggie pizza made with cauliflower crust. I was fully prepared to be smug about detecting the alternative crust, but couldn't tell the difference at all. It was generously loaded with toppings, and the roasted garlic really made the taste pop. Fresh, vibrant flavors all around. We went on a Sunday so it wasn't too crowded and service was swift, and the pizzas came out beautifully. For a quick-serve franchise, this place delivered high-performance pies that defied my expectations.
