Despite the "hot" name, you can also choose no spice so I appreciate that everyone can come here with any level of spice tolerance. I shared the two sliders with fries plus a side order of mac & cheese, and I was surprised the sliders were almost the size of standard burgers! It actually ended up being great to share for two people (or alternatively, I saw others boxing their second slider for home). I happened to stop by during a lull, but shortly afterwards the line almost filled up the entire entrance area. Definitely a popular lunch spot.

I'm seeing many 3-4 star reviews from fellow Yelpers and I keep thinking that perhaps my experience…read morewas a singular one. The two stars I'm giving here is for the restaurant itself. This restaurant looks great. There is a nice counter area to order, a really nice seating area inside and even outdoor seating. Some of the decor makes you feel like you're in a household's kitchen. By the cashier there is a table you can wait at complete with local newspapers. It's very charming. This was my first visit and I ordered my food to go. I had two key dishes. The first was hummus with falafel, which is very standard for me whenever I go to any Mediterranean place. When I opened the take out box at home I was really surprised. Most places give you a good amount of hummus, but here it was basically a thin layer. Kind of like a layer of mayo on a sandwich (maybe a tad thicker). Then on top of the hummus was a huge layer of pickled vegetables and tiny pickles. This was a surprise. I've had hummus orders from a lot of restaurants before and I've *never* seen this on an order before. Then the falafel balls were on top and well...they were really dry and didn't have much flavor. Now, sometimes you can cover that up by just coating the falafel in hummus, but there wasn't enough hummus to do that. The dish was just disappointing all around. The other dish I tried were the Lemon Potatoes. They were good! The lemon flavor was strong and they were cooked well. Not the best example in the area, but they would do in a pinch. At some point I'll give this place another try. Maybe this was a fluke (at least I hope so).

Food is awesome and the service is amazing.. will recommend 100% I love the drive though service.read more

In 2019 a woman in the lane next to me yelled her order while pulling her car forward when I was already following the car in front of her as I had made my order, but she was the type that said something like she she was gonna do to me when I honked. They used to have the common sense to tell you follow this car through the speaker. It became every man for himself, stopped going there after that. Be careful in this area used to be a hardworking middle class area it's been on a hard decline despite the fact it's more busy than ever. Also terrible traffic nightmare here bad location they needed to think ahead, they are very very successful and hire good staff but you need twice the property size I'm sorry. Plan on spending a long time here at lunch.

We have to order at a kiosk; there is no cashier, and the wait is about 10-15 minutes before we get our food. The price is the same everywhere. The Shake Shack has been a reliable place for good burgers. I would return. The convenience and ambiance are simple: just order and pick up when the SMS lets you know your order is ready, since you enter your cell phone number when ordering. The seating area is shared with Popeyes and Starbucks.

The floor and tables were nearly spotless, and the restored Play Place is as fun as ever. The food was hot and fresh, too. One of, if not THE, nicest McDonald's I've been to in recent memory.

I also added sauteed onions. Overall, it was okay, lacking some flavor and it was not as filling as I'd expected. I wanted to understand and experience the hype about American Melts, but it fell flat for me. It was just okay. Despite being underwhelmed, I am still giving 4 stars because the service was great and I am impressed with the price range. Every sandwich on their menu is under $10, and that stands out especially these days when a mediocre burger is $15+ minimum. You can even "build your own grilled cheese" sandwich. For these reasons, I am willing to give American Melts another try and perhaps a different item on the menu.

It's a breath of fresh air to find places using real ingredients with a distinct flavor & charging under $10 each. Since I was starving I picked up 3 sandwiches: 1.) Brie - While quite good this was my least favorite. The brie & apple slices didn't pop out as much I wanted, but it still was satisfying. 2.) Stone Pony - Whoah! This is praise worthy. Roast beef was tasty & the caramelized onions & aioli horseradish are great additions to the flavor. 3.) Big Tex - This was my absolute favorite. If you have a hunger that needs to be quenched this is the sandwich to do it. The mac n cheese, bacon, & roast beef were on point. It mentions there is BBQ sauce, but I don't recall tasting it. Either way it wasn't overpowering as I'm not the biggest BBQ sauce fan & the sandwich stands on it's own with or without it Their sandwiches are perfectly portioned so you're not getting too little or too much. Their Staff was very friendly, there's seating outside, it's located next to a park and a bike trail, & there's actually a lot of parking despite it being a tiny shack. It's perfectly located & optimized if you like to grab & go or sit & chill. Kudos to these guys. Definitely worth going to over & over.

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
