If you're inside CitiField, definitely head over to the Shake Shack for some burgers and fries. I was willing to wait, in the rain, for fifteen minutes, for: 4 single shack burgers 1 Shackago dog 2 large Pepsi's 1 black and white frozen custard 2 fries No, I'm not that much of a pig. This was for me and my family. How long did it take to get all of them? Five minutes. I'm in awe. As always, their shackburgers were great, and their French fries are excellent. I usually like to slather on ketchup or hot sauce with my fries, but these actually tasted better without them. The Shackago dog was forgettable. Sadly, I have to drop one star because my beloved 'shroom burger is alas, not present (understandably so, but still!). All in all, a great place to get food. The line is not as epically slow as the one in Madison Sq. Park, they're faster (even if pre-made, but beggars can't be choosers), and you get to watch a Mets game. Plus, the prices are actually not exorbitant, which is... a plus. read more

I have to admit, going to Shake Shack was our top priority of our Mets game experience. Definitely not the BEST but pretty damn good burgers, great fries and AWESOME shakes. It's sad the I worked across from the Shake Shake in Madison Square Park for 9 months and this is the first time I had em. It did NOT disappoint! I guess we were lucky, we got through the line in about 10 minutes! We got burgers, fries (nice and crispy) and a vanilla shake. I was definitely between a 3-4 starts but that shake gave this place a solid 4! read more

I can't believe that my first visit ever to a Shake Shack was at Citi Field...and didn't suck!! Yes, it was even worth waiting on that crazy long line for TWO INNINGS!! How fresh could a shake, burger and fries be at a sporting event? SO FRESH..that's why you're waiting forever for it! I actually saw them making the shakes the old fashioned way behind the counter...really pleased to see this! The burger was delicious..definitely not wimpy. I was worried that the fries would be a disaster but they were crispy and addictive! I'm a fan! read more

Its a Shake Shack at Citi field what could go wrong? Well other then the insane lines not much. Its the same great Shake Shack. The prices aren't even that bad for ballpark food, such a nice change to paying $8 for a crappy burger at Shea. Pro Tip: If you think waiting in the long lines will save you from watching the Mets loose your out of luck, they have some nice big screens you can watch the game on while waiting in line. read more

I have been told for years to try Shake Shack. Only problem was, originally there was just the one down in Madison Square Park, an area I rarely end up in. Then one opened on 77th & Columbus, just after I left my voice teacher, who lives on that block .... so that wasn't an option either. Enter my friend Richard, a dedicated Mets fan, who has tried to get me to a Mets game for some years now. He finally succeeded, and I am really happy I went - it was a great evening, even if the team lost. However, we started the evening off with burgers from the Shake Shack there. Good thing we got to the stadium EARLY. Later on the lines were pretty scary!! These burgers truly are some of the best I've tried (although Nolita House still holds top spot for now). I found myself taking tiny bites to make it last longer. The B&W shake was quite good as well....but we opted for fries across the way (which I was not so impressed with). If you're headed to a Mets game, do NOT miss those burgers!! read more

It was a semi-rainy weeknight and towards the end of the regular season. You would think that there's no line for this place. NOT! When we walked by to head to our seats, there was no line. But when my friend went to get our burgers, he said there was a wait. =! The single shack burger was perfect. Indeed, it isn't a very big burger but juicy it was and it hit the spot. The fries were ok. The shake, now, that was good! Went with the strawberry shake and yep, it was worth losing that calorie counter gadget for this one night. Definitely a notch up compared to the other fast food burger joints. read more

One of the great staples of citi field. Line could get long.. but that doesn't matter because no one goes to Mets games anymore lol read more

I'm so sorry but i have been to a few shake shacks and they all have been great but this shake shack let me down so bad . bad enough the wait was super long and you missed a few innings at the game my burger was super salty and so flat and so burnt it was not a shake shack burger to me. i don't think i be hitting up shake shack at citified in a long time i was SO disappointed . maybe next time i will have a better experience read more

Being a diehard, loyal Mets fan since I could remember, it pains me to say that the best part of watching a game at Citi Field during this lost season was visiting the popular restaurant beyond the seats in left-center field: Shake Shack. I know this isn't a sports review site, but lemme just say that the Mets really let me down this year. *Sigh* Ok, now that I wiped those tears away, I feel better now. Anyways, I can't state anything here that hasn't been said before. So let me just reiterate all the "yummy goodness" that my wife experienced when she ate here for the first time. My wife is a food-fanatic, an undercover food critic herself when we eat out at a new place. So I hope I can accurately recall all the details she mumbled that day with her mouth full after each bite of food, and slurp of drink. "The burger meat here is so tender and juicy, almost like they marinated it in butter when they cooked it! The hamburger bun is just the perfect size, and doesn't take away from the taste of what's inside. I love the Shack Sauce on it, whatever that is. Heck, the smell of the burger alone makes it better than other burgers!" Yes, it is a lil pricey, but that didn't stop us from eating two double-burgers each!! We tried the Shack-Cago Hotdog also, but it wasn't worth the money. To us, it's just your garden-variety hotdog. We've never been to the other Shake Shack spots, but we can definitely say the burgers we ate were delicioso. We give the burgers a rating of 7... on a 1-5 scale! Whaaat!! So do yourselves a favor, and try the burgers. You can thank us later. And tell 'em Marcus (and wife) sent ya... ;p read more

Pricey but delicious! I've been to Citi Field numerous of times but only tried Shake Shack twice because the line always looks so long. Although the line may be long, it moves rather fast. We only missed half of an inning waiting which isn't too bad. I ordered two single Shack Burgers, fries, and a black & white shake. Thee shack sauce in the Shack burger was friggin good! Served on a soft warm bun with gooey melted cheese along with a juicy beef patty. Pretty tasty for a burger priced at $7.50. It's a bit small but this is by far the best thing I've eaten so far at a ballpark. The wavy fries are nice and crispy. No sogginess whatsoever. The shake was great! You can taste bits and chunks of ice cream. Verdict - I could see why the line is always so long now. It's just that darn good. There's never a line at Blue Smoke or the Pizza joint. When you're looking for something to eat at Citi Field, you're gonna wanna come to Shake Shack! read more

One of the good things about Citi Field is the great concessions they have.. and Shake Shack is prob their best! Yes, the lines are long and you sometimes have to wait 2-3 innings but c'mon, it's Shake Shack.. lines are always long! The menu at their Citi Field location is less varied and the custard flavors are more limited than their other locations but the quality and consistency of the food is the same. Prices are a tad higher but are pretty reasonable considering you expect to pay ballpark prices.. $6.25 for a single and $9.25 for a double vs $5.75 and $8.75 at their other locations. Tips: -Get on line as soon as you get to the ballpark. -There are 2 lines; the one on the right moves quicker since it is serviced by 1 extra register. read more

I had a fantastic time seeing the Mets beat the Marlins this past week. Citi Field was fairly clean and very accommodating with food and drink selection. The prices of nearly everything seemed absolutely insane, but the Shake Shack was much more reasonable, as was the pizza spot. The pizza was pretty solid, sporting a fantastic sauce and good cheese. The crust, however, was burned to a crisp in most spots which really killed the flavor towards the end. The smoke shack burger from Shake Shack was absolutely fantastic. Fresh ingredients and a great combination of spice and cheese really made the burger stand out. The french fries were also pleasantly crispy and delicious. The vanilla milkshake was high quality with a great frothy consistency and a rich creamy vanilla taste. read more

I must admit that I don't hit burger joints real frequently. Most common is the staple run through In-N-Out in AZ. Grabbed Shake Shack at recommendation of our hosts in NY and was STUNNED. No need to compare the two. If you've lived in NY all your life and never experienced In-N-Out....you ain't missing anything. I love In-N-Out but Shake Shack dominates in 3 rather key areas (Burgers, Shakes and Fries). Outstanding. We are heading back tomorrow and although I want to try the Pulled Pork at Blue Smoke I don't know that I will forgive myself for skipping out on these burgers. Huge fans. Can't wait till the game tomorrow...... read more

Danny Meyer truly brings his food to the masses at Citi Field! The menu is a little more expensive and more limited (more limited on the shakes, drinks, no chicken brats and none of the veggie burgers that even carnivores crave), but I think they've done a good job of maintaining the quality of the food here. The line can be daunting, especially before the game, but I found that they move it along well. During the middle innings, the wait was about 15-20 minutes, about double what you'd normally wait at the ballpark, but not that bad overall, especially considering that the wait in Madison Square Park can be epic. A definite must if you have outfield seats. read more

Color me impressed. I didn't have high expectations for a limited-menu satellite location of Shake Shack in a ball field, but these guys do deliver. We waited in line for about an inning and a half (or two), but when we got our meal it was fresh and delicious. Not world changing, but up there with Five Guys or Elevation Burger - aka the best fast food burgers you can get, IMHO. The shakes and fries are also delicious too, I was surprised to see them scooping ice cream into metal shake containers and running them in a old diner-style blender at with the huge lines they serve, but I guess that's how they maintain quality. Cheese fries were delicious and SUPER filling, too. I'd go again. The shack stack was pretty cool too, I liked not having to decide which of their burgers to get, haha. read more

Let me begin by saying I... am a hardcore Yankee fan! Now that that's out there, I was recently given tickets for the Delta Club at Citi Field. The seats were great. Fourth row, center field. As good as it gets. But the best part of this entire experience was...... THE SHAKE SHACK BURGER! WHOA, it blew my mind. SOOOOO much more than I ever expected. The sauces, and meat.. everything. I had never had the patience to actually go to a shake shack but since they had the wait staff I figured why not. and BOY oh BOYYYY am I glad I did! DEF A MUST! read more

The thing that I never liked about Shea was the lack of food I'd actually want to eat in my regular, non-baseball-game-attending life. In that vein: WOO HOO! Shake Shack at CitiField is awesome. The wait is short and worth it, the Shack-cago dog is fabulous and your food is ready practically the minute the order comes out of your mouth. Goodbye mystery meat hot dogs, hello (and thank you) Danny Meyer! read more

"Reminds me of Elementary School" For all of you who have NEVER had In and Out or Five Guys... ...I'm sorry. Rarely am I so regretfully compelled to write a review. So I came to NY for the very first time and heard so many great things about Shake Shack...in addition, hundreds of glowing reviews on Yelp for several locations can't be wrong. Or so I assumed. Disappointment. If you've never had In and Out and Five Guys...this place must be good. Traversing NY City, it's hard to find comparable competition to Shake Shack in the (late night) "fast food" category. $10 for one cheeseburger, crinkle cut fries and a tiny soda. The quality is not there to justify it....even in NY. Shakes aside, the tiny, bland burgers and crinkle cut fries remind me of elementary school and the side container of cheese representing an upgrade to "cheese fries" is a joke. Animal style fries nor Cajun fries involve a pricey, yet tiny side container. TOURISTS (hailing from anywhere with an In and Out and/or Five Guys)...AVOID this place at all cost. Try the pizza, bagels and delis, etc that are the true gems of NY. Similarly if everywhere else had a Lombardi's/Grimaldi's quality pizza, people could properly recalibrate what they think is "good pizza". read more

You know I used to love shake shack ever since they opened, but I feel like their meat quality has gone down. Last time I came here with my parents the meat tasted completely different and I didn't even finish my burger. Fries are really good, but burger, i dont know it has changed. Not a fan anymore, I rather get chick fil-a. read more

First thing's first: If you're looking to try this place out, go before the game even starts as the line can be fairly long and you may find yourself standing on line for a couple innings. So by this day and age, everyone knows what Shake Shack is all about. Is it all hyped up as it is supposed to be? Of course, all in relation to the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park. To the virgin who's never experienced Shake Shack, it's a pretty darn good burger, tender, moist, full of flavor and yummy shack sauce. The fries are crisp and moist on the inside, though the melted nacho-like Velvetta-imitation cheese on top is a bit lacking and unimpressive. I'd probably recommend just getting the fries without the cheese, and save yourself the $1.50 or so on what I consider 2-3 tablespoons of cheese. For some, this might be their best burger and fry experience yet, but to the true Shake Shack aficionado, it is overpriced and slightly subpar to its original counterpart (aka The Shake Shack at Madison Square Park). I haven't been to the original location for quite a while, so I will argue that The Shake Shack has chosen to expand as rapidly as possible (Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Theater District, CitiField and now Miami and Sarasota Springs?). Of course with rapid expansion, comes a standardized almost assembly line way of making their shack burgers at the cost of quality and what I would consider what was one rather exceptionally made burger. Maybe I'm being too much of a critic, maybe I'm just jealous of their success, but I thought and still do think Shake Shack @ CitiField makes one delicious burger. But something just didn't seem to be right. It seemed to lost some of its glamour. Shake Shack, please don't become another McDonald's, Burger King, or most recently Five Guys. I love Shake Shack and still stand by my word that is probably one of the best burgers in the city (not considering $20+ Kobe beef burgers, etc.). read more

This review is for Shake Shack in "Times Square" (Really it's just 8th Avenue) My biggest shock surprise was the short line when we got there. I ordered my usual 'Shroom burger and beer and was please as usual and happy as a clam. By the time we walked out, the line was half way down the block. Guess we came at the right time. Great place for a burger and a beer after a movie/show! Cheap and good eats. Enjoy! read more

My co-worker who never leaves Westchester County ventured to Queens to watch the Mets and to try this famous burger he's heard so much about. It was a Wednesday night game against Oakland, so the wait wasn't too long. Unfortunately, I saw why when I got to the front of the line - they had precooked the burgers and I was handed a lukewarm one as soon as I placed my order. He said it wasn't too bad and I told him that he didn't know what he was missing, by not trying it FRESH. Ah well, it's still better than anything else at the stadium. read more

I went with my boyfriend to see the Mets v. Cubs and he is the Cubs fan while I barely care about baseball in general so long story short, I volunteered to wait in this obscene line. It really is crowded. Sheesh. Their options are limited but effective. I got us Shack Burgers, one order of regular fries, one order of cheese fries (way too much cheese!) and a large soda. That came to something around $33 I believe. The cashier was confused when I handed him cash. Apparently they don't see much of that (his words). Shake Shack is expensive in general so while it is marked up a bit for being in the stadium, I didn't feel ripped off when comparing this location to Madison Square Park. I don't know why someone would get a hotdog from here but they also seemed popular. If you have never had Shake Shack and this is your one opportunity, just do it. Then you can say you have had it. But if you live near another location in the city, then don't waste the time it takes to stand on the line and just get food elsewhere. read more

Maybe it's the location but this was the worst Shake Shack burger I've had. Not that I am a huge fan of their burgers to begin with but quite honestly, a Big Mac would have probably tasted better than the one I had last night at the stadium. It was lacking the 'burger grill' flavor and the patty was thin. Cheese fries were an even more of disappointment. Soggy to the core. What I don't understand is how is it possible that the line is still the longest of all concession stands. read more

I did wait on that line again since I was with someone who had never been there. It was my 3rd time and the special order was a LOT faster this time. My companion enjoyed the fries a LOT..said they were probably better than Nathans fries which is huge. Anyway..next season I'll go back again. :) read more

This is a limited menu of the original Shake Shack but delicious! I would suggest going early and getting your meals right away. The lines are long during game play and the eating area is limited. The Shack-Cago Dog blows the Nathan's Dog out of the ballpark. Shake Shack is a homerun! read more

Burger was fine. Fries were cold and rubbery. Shake was frozen solid. Must have been left in freezer. Will never order from my seat again because I don't believe they would have had the audacity to serve me in that fashion had I been at their storefront in the right field area. read more

I love Shroom Burger and French fries here. The burger was cooked perfectly, it melted into my mouth, the fries were crunchy and not too salty. However, you have to be a bit patient, because the lines are always long. read more

I'm not sure what's worse. The fact that a simple burger, fries and a large soda cost $17 (THAT'S SEVENTEEN DOLLARS. SEVEN-TEEN. ONE-SEVEN. TWENTY MINUS THREE. TEN PLUS SEVEN. 17.), or the fact that I not only willingly and knowingly paid it, but did so at a game where the Mets lost to the Diamondbacks 14-1!!! Wow. I mean wow. I really thought that the Shake Shacks in the city were expensive at $11-12 for the same order. It shocks and disturbs me that they get away with this. Now, I know that people have somewhat of a choice (aka don't buy it...), but STILL!!! If it weren't were the fact that I had free tickets to that lousy game, I most certainly would have kept walking past this place. Being Shake Shack, the food was definitely tasty, though nowhere damn near it's price tag. Amusement parks and sports arenas are known for their outrageously priced concessions. I get this. However, the home team should at least be WORTH it if their stadium's pricing is going to steal my wallet's innocence... With a 14-1 loss, I went home broke and disappointed. Ugh. Next time I'm at a Mets' game, I will be sure to eat beforehand. No way will I ever pay that much for fast food again! read more

I dont know what they do to cook that burger to be so juicy and delicious, but it's better than the other Shake Shacks I've had in the city. The first location in Queens and the second it's in Terminal 4 at JFK Airport. Many compare the Shack burger to In-N-Out burger and I have to say that Shake Shack is wayyyy better than In-N-Out. It was worth the wait, only waited the first inning, good thing for the large screen to catch the first pitch and the game. read more

The line here at Citi Field's Shake Shack is ridiculous. I think it took us 3 full innings to finally get to the front of the line to take our order. The food is good, but it is overpriced compared to the ones in Manhattan. Ordered the Single Shake, Cheese Fries and the Black/White frozen custard. The burger was smaller than expected, but the meat patty was delicious. It was a tad over seasoned, but still yummy. The cheese fries were drizzled with a liquidfied cheese and the frozen custard was drinkable with a single straw - meaning its not very thick (which is a good thing). I like Shake Shack since its comparable to In-n-Out on the west coast. If it came to the west coast, I would be torn and wouldnt know which one would be better, so its best that these two are on the opposite sides of the country. My advice, if you are touring NYC, dont get Shake Shack at here, go to the other locations in Manhattan. on a side note, I came on 6.8.10 - Mets v Padres and I have to say (for this game - GO METS). It was 1-0. Mets =) read more

The line is out of control... that said, I stand on it every time I come to Citi Field. The burgers are very tasty, but I have been told not as good as the location in Manhattan. The real reason I wait on line is the Milkshake. Even if I eat somewhere else in the park, I find myself on line that huge snaking line just for a thick, rich shake. What makes them stand out is the custard base, delicious. A great way to wash down the bad taste the Mets leave in your mouth. read more

Hey Jake.. thanks for replying to my shake shack horrendous post. Is there a way I can give you my email etc privately? Thanks read more

Shack-ago dog, fries and shake hit the spot. Was it better than a Chicago dog...no, but I was in NY and it wasn't bad. Fries and shake were filling. Price, steep for the three at $18, but eh, its NY. Line was 25 minutes. Last game of the season and it was fun to be there and try this place I heard about. read more

I finally braved the line at Shake Shack at Citi Field, having avoided it every other time I've been there. I figured Shake Shack was the best bet, since I had to eat anyway, and I had money to burn. There are TWO lines to stand on, both going to different sides of the Shack -- right and left. Choose wisely! The line I went on moved rather quickly, all things considered. I definitely had my food within a half hour, and was able to watch the game on the screen behind me. I got on line before the game began, and had my food by the second inning or so. I ordered my usual -- the Shack burger -- but went a little different fries-wise and got the Frisky Fries, which I don't think I've seen at any other location. These fries are cheese fries with a spicy tomato sauce AKA a big ol' mess in a cardboard box. The fries proved to be way too sloppy and icky, and not all that flavorful, so I would certainly NOT get those again. However, the burger tasted about the same as other shack burgers I've gotten in NYC, so that was a plus. I also got the Goose Island Honkers Ale, which was their "premium" beer on tap. I do believe you get slightly more beer here for the buck, but it could just be an illusion. I returned to the Shack after the 8th inning to brave the line once again, this time for a shake (I had digested the burger, fries, and beer since the 3rd inning or so). I ordered the black and white shake, and I assume that they must shut down the shake machines at a certain time, because in less than a minute, the guy put the shake in front of me, all smiles. Clearly, it was a pre-made shake. Wasn't too happy about that, because it still cost me $6.25, and it had probably melted a bit at that point. The worst part is, it tasted like a straight-up chocolate shake. It was really thick, and was no where near the black and white shake I had gotten at the Times Square location. Hey, bozo, I asked for a black and white! The least they can do is clearly state that by a certain time, the shakes are pre-made and served that way, in order to allow the machines to be cleaned and shut down by the game's end. Shake Shack is a solid choice at Citi Field, but only if you have the patience, time, and moolah to acquire a meal here. Otherwise, there are numerous eateries surrounding you that all want your dollar. read more

A good ball game burger. I highly recommend arriving early because the line for Shake Shack during the game is very long.

Saw the Mets play against the Angels (A loss, unfortunately) and braved the long lines for some Shake Shack. I normally don't have the patience to wait for it and just get a hotdog instead, but the game was basically over in the first inning anyway. Let me tell you, Shake Shack is worth the wait. The shakes are addictive and delicious. We got a 'Shroom burger and a SmokeShack burger. Something about the shack sauce really makes these burgers perfect. The SmokeShack comes with a substantial amount of bacon and a nice handful of cherry peppers that add the right amount of kick. read more

Shake Shack - 'Shroom burger and SmokeShack burger. - Burgers Near Me - Corona, New York

I have waited on the line in Madison Square Park for a delicious order of shake shack, but sitting on a comparable line for something that just says shake shack was less than worth it. It may have the name but it does not have the product as I was deeply disappointed in this facade. The burgers were way over cooked and tasted like fast food with the amount of salt and pepper drenched on my burger. My black and white shake tasted like it had been pre made and been sitting in a container for about a month. I need to go back to the city to remember what a real shake shack burger and shake tastes like. read more

Came to see the Mets do their thing with a group of work friends and we all voted on getting Shake Shack. The line wasn't too bad--I'd say we waited about 10 to 12 minutes to order, and then our food came out pretty fast. To those complaining about the line: I'm sure you've waited longer for Shake Shack in Madison Sq Park, because I know I have. My burger tasted just like any other Shake Shack burger, but I think these are pre-made and left out to sit. Also the prices were higher than normal, but you always end up paying more at a stadium. Pro-tip: get two beers when you order so you don't have to head back down during the game, at least that's what I did! read more

The shake shack lines at citi field... Always long The food... Always amazing I often hear people ask "is it worth waiting on this line" and my response is an automatic and emphatic "yes!" Citi Field has better food options than most ballparks and sure you can skip the line and get stuff elsewhere, but this is an absolute must if you're headed to the ballpark (especially those doing ballpark tours, etc.) Leave yourself extra time as you may miss the first pitch if you head in too close to game time. Grab a double burger with fries, find your seats and make sure to shout LET'S GO METS between bites of the deliciousness that is Shake Shack read more
