Stopped by Shake Shack at JFK Airport before my flight back to AUS. Funny story, I used to wait over 3 hours to get a Shake Shack burger at Madison Square Park back when there were only 2 Shake Shack locations. Now you can conveniently order a burger in no time from a location in the airport. You place your food order from a touch screen kiosk. You can also watch your order being prepared by employees in the kitchen. This location has the typical Shake Shack vibe and flair. I ordered the single-patty ShackBurger, a made-to-order quarter pound patty of 100% Angus beef with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. The burger really hit the spot before a flight. The burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and made fresh, with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and bun. Simple, classic, and satisfying. For an airport location, the quality held up surprisingly well. Service was a bit slow but everything came out hot and neatly put together. Prices are a bit higher at the airport, but the consistency and flavor made it worth it. Solid choice if you're craving a reliable burger at JFK and want something familiar and filling before takeoff. read more

I didn't have time to make a sandwich, and thought that GF items would be limited in the airport. My absolute favorite fries are crinkle fries! Idk exactly why. Perhaps they're evocative of my childhood and youth, when every diner and burger joint served them. So I headed to Shake Shack for some lovely delicious fries. Ordering is a pain. You use a kiosk. No live people. I had gotten a bottle of water. The screen said to "scan" any other items. There is no barcode and no scanner. After saying three or four times that I couldn't scan the water, someone came over. You have to page through the menu. Ugh. Paid, typed in my name, and waited. And waited. Finally, my name was called, and I got my fries and some napkins. I sat I a lounge chair right across from Shake Shack, and.....the fries were cold. Terrible, awful, crushing disappointment. I so rarely eat fries these days. I was anticipating hot, golden, lovely crispy fries. I got lukewarm semi-limp mostly underdone fries. A sad, sad feeling. There's no seating at Shake Shack, but you can sit at a gate or take your food with you. Employees were working very hard, so it's strange that my fries were cold. I picked them up right away when my name was called. I probably won't come back, if I am in this terminal another time. read more

I stopped at the B23 Shake Shack for breakfast, ordering their sausage, double egg and cheese with a large bottle of water. The menu informs you of the calorie count as well as sodium I believe and you should pay attention, especially if you may be sodium sensitive. I often arrive at my terminal starving, given the time required to make an early flight means I've been rushing to get there with time to spare. So I ordered it with double egg, but their sausage patties are definitely loaded with a good deal of sodium. I don't add a lot of salt to my food, because too many people in my family have pressure. Yeah, I tasted it in this breakfast sandwich and it's more sodium than you will experience at any food cart in the City, but still good. Remember, you're ravenous at this moment and you kick the sodium out of your mind as best you can...and then you're glad you have a large bottle of cool water to wash it all down and hopefully aide in ridding yourself of that sodium. Service was quick and they have someone at the register if you're not excited about placing your order at the kiosk or if you only have cash. They do burgers better and the breakfast sandwich and water will run you about fifteen. 3.3 stars read more

Picked up food as soon as they opened at 4AM after our flight arrived in. We placed our food order through a kiosk and then proceeded to wait a little longer than I would have hoped for, but granted they had just opened. I did appreciate that they had not only breakfast items but also you could get a regular burger and fries. Overall, we were happy with our food, but I just wished it had moved along a little quicker without much a line hence the 3 stars. Literally we were the second person in line and waited probably 15 minutes. I'd be curious to know what it's like later on in the day. read more

They made my fries with no salt as requested and then let me know that they were no salt as they handed me the bag. Great service, and the fries were good. read more

This review is for my experience in the Shake Shack in terminal 4 of JFK. This is the smaller one of two , and does not have sitting area, just the ordering tablets and pick up counter. I was impressed by how Quick my order came out and it was as good as any other Shake Shack location. I did notice that they have Higher prices and they do not accept coupons because it is an airport location. Great for a quick pick me up when in a rush. read more

Decent prices (considering the airport inflation)... The chicken sandwich was pretty good. I also had the tots with cheese. Not too bad! Friendly staff. Long wait to get food once ordered tho. I recommend this spot out of anywhere else in the airport for food! read more

I remembered this restaurant from Chicago. Saw them at JFK International Airport in New York. Had to get us some burgers, fries, and drinks while we were waiting for our flight. You can order on a kiosk or at the counter. Food is cooked as you order even the fries are cooked to order. They also serve breakfast till 10am. Food was hot and fresh. Check your order when you get it. They tend to forget items. We were missing the fries. Other folks were also missing food items and had to return to the counter. read more

Food is cold, they have a bunch of staff standing around not doing a thing. Food sitting under a heat lamp pre made , yet it's slow. Expressed concerns to manager and was met with a distant look. All table were filthy. One of the 6 members of staff could have been cleaning . Really this falls to the management. Also you order on touch screen so really there was about 2/6 people actually doing somethin read more

Honestly- for airport food its not terrible. Service was quick which is clutch for a quick bite if you're tight in time. Food was cold. You'll see in the photos, my cheese didn't melt bc the sandwich was cold. The employees give off DMV employee vibes. The eating area was pretty clean. Granted I was there at 5am we were probably the first wave of customers. Not terrible at all. Flavor was consistent with what you expect from a shake shack. read more

For being in an airport I thought this Shack Shack was pretty good. Prices were inflated but still wasn't THAT bad compared to other spots at JFK airport. Ended up getting a norms shack burger. It was small but it tasted good. The chicken shack sandwich was also pretty solid for what it was. The winner was definitely the crinkle cut fries. It was perfectly crispy and packed with a lot of flavor. No wonder there was a line at this spot because it's not bad and a great option for food at JFK international. read more

Located at Terminal 4 on the 3rd level, I was truly happy to grab a bite from here before my departure flight. There are self-kiosks to order from, and they were very busy. But my food came out quickly and everything was fresh and tasted great. The only thing is that they forgot to put fries in my bag but they remedied it right away after I let them know. read more

The Shake Shack at this airport is better than every Shake Shack I've been to in California! I'm only docking a star because the service was really slow when I went because there was a long line but if you have the time to wait, it's totally worth it. I ordered the shroom burger, a fried portabella mushroom burger stuffed with vegan cheese, with a side of cheese fries. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly salted and stayed crunchy because they served the cheese dip on the side. read more

Ordered some fries here as a quick snack before my 6 hour flight. Placing the order was easy and quick since you just use the kiosks. I was nervous the wait was going to take quite a while because there were a decent amount of people crowding around the area. Since I only ordered fries, I think my order was actually made pretty soon and I got it within ~5-10 minutes, while others that ordered before me were definitely still waiting. read more

Wow! in a bad way...combine really bad service with overpriced food sold to tourists you're unlikely to see again, and you get this location of Shake Shack. I'm told each is a local franchise, but I still fondly remember the original Shake Shack in Madison Square Park in Manhattan...this ain't it. This branch of the upscale burger joint is more like McDonald's service with only slightly better quality food. Even by the fairly low bar of JFK airport food, this was pretty disappointing. read more

Shake Shack is always sooo good. I got a shake burger single patty & it was so filling even though it looks small when you get it. I shared the cheese fries with my mom & it was super crunchy, just the way I like my fries! Ordering was overwhelming but understandable since we're in the airport. I like how there was a large eating area! We had no trouble finding seats. read more

Ridiculously SLOW! Even worst being at an airport. And it's always like this! Think twice before you place your order! read more

35 min wait for two burgers, with no food in sight. First number called when we started waiting was only about 20 from our number. After complaining, they say someone else took our order even though they never called our name or number. Almost missed boarding for this horrible service Kitchen moved at the speed of avg DMV worker. Massive line waiting but everyone in kitchen sauntered around with zero concern Staff handing out orders are completely random, sometimes saying names, sometimes saying what's in the bag, sometimes saying numbers. Staff seems barely able to read and don't care at all People literally came up 3-4 times in the 30 minute span and claimed random orders that weren't theirs because they were so frustrated with waiting. They would ask staff what's in the bag and just grab them. Staff didn't care at all, and seemed barely able to even read the name on the bag when calling them out read more

Not the best Shake Shack spot but it is inside the airport.... You order at one of the 3 large touch screen. No more real human interaction. The ordering is not as customer friendly. I was trying to order 2 of the same burger and same shake, didn't allowed me to enter how many of the item I wanted, so you have to do one at a time. After selecting a burger, it automatically moves to sides and then drinks. I used the "back" bottom to go back to add the burger, but then it removed everything... so I had to figure it out on my own... The shake, getting them at 3pm in the afternoon, told by the staff that they don't have any straw.... A place that they sell shake as one of their main thing, they don't have straw???? At 3pm??? Hmmmmm... read more

When I lived in NYC, Shake Shack had just opened in Bryant Park, and I still remember the thrill of biting into their famous hot dog. This time it's the Double Shackburger, no tomato, for my last meal in New York, and the patties are as juicy as I remember. There are better burgers for a lot cheaper these days, especially in the neverending battle of east coast vs west coast against the iconic In n' Out, but I really enjoyed this bite of nostalgia and was happy to have it again. read more

By far the worst people and customer service ever. After 25 minutes, I decided I wanted a refund on the veggie burger I ordered. They decided to wait until they finished the burger so they could throw it in the trash right in front of my face and then gave me a refund. You can't make this stuff up. One star is good for this place. read more

They charge a surcharge to the bill for you to help pay employees. That is the companies job not mine. If you need raise the price instead of hiding a surcharge. I will skip from now on. Dishonest management. read more

Hilariously bad service. I expected the food to take forever, and it did, but I did not expect to be refused ketchup. Ketchup is a basic right granted to all US citizens. One of the women behind the counter must have been having the worst days of her life because she told me "there's no ketchup" when I saw them stacked up like little soldiers. I had to ask someone else who eventually handed one over. Also, we ordered a chicken patty for my daughter (on the touch screen) and they gave her a hamburger instead which we realized on the plane, she won't eat beef so she had the lettuce from my husband's salad. Major L! read more

I was extremely excited that Shake Shake has a location in Terminal 4 of JFK Airport. I've been here once, but was in such a rush I had no time for food pics, or check-in on Yelp. So this is my first time writing an actual review. The queue to get in is short and fast. The restaurant is more of a free standing restaurant. When entering customers can grab their drinks from the refrigerator first, then order your food from the self service kiosks. As an airport employee, I followed all the TSA Agents as they waited for a live person to take your order instead of using a kiosk. What I ordered was a double shack cheeseburger and french fries. It only took about 5 minutes for my order to come out. They don't have tables, but what other airport employees did was head back to the Food Hall area where there were dining tables and high bar stool seating so I could enjoy my "breakfast" before heading to the gate. My food was delicious and I was able to eat in peace and quiet! read more

The organization at this location is in dire need of improvement. You'll wait for far too long for them to finally collect receipts. After that, everyone that ordered after you gets their food first. Don't get a shake - they can't get those out to the right people reliably. Don't order a fountain beverage. I ordered a Come Zero that looked slightly brown and tasted like soda water. Food was unremarkable and overpriced. Long story short - eat somewhere else. read more

the burger was fantastic. the fries were cold. when i was ordering, some guy was talking (loudly) about how much this particular shake shack sucks, and i thought he was being a jerk- but maybe i should have listened... when i first ordered, there were only 2-3 orders ahead of me. by the time i got my order, there was probably 10-12 orders behind me (so they got unexpectedly "slammed" i guess...?) but there was 2-3 workers cranking food out and 2-3 just standing around, waiting for things to get done. what frustrated me was - for reasons i still can't comprehend- the reason it took FOREVER for the food to come out is because they sent it all out at once. what?? 10 minutes of no food coming out, then 12 orders being called at once. again, just...what? at least the burger was good. 20 bucks i'll never get back though read more

I was so disappointed. I love shake shack and was excited for my shack stack only to be disappointed. My son ordered a regular cheeseburger and I ordered the shack stack. There were 2 screens where you place your order and if you needed assistance you had to wait for an attendant to arrive to take your order. It was busy and decided to keep it simple order on the screen only burger and a shack stack. Instead of calling your name as the order is ready they wait for 5 or 6 orders to be ready and call each name causing a crowd and the food to be cold. When I get my order I see there was only a cheeseburger in the bag so I tell the attendant and asked for a cup of ice he assisted someone at the register then got my shack stack only for it to be the 'shroom burger no meat patty the cheese was cold. Then he asked another person to grab my cup of ice in which she seemed annoyed and got my ice. Service was bad ! Wouldn't go back. read more

This place absolutely sucks. I'm not one to come and write a review fact that this is my first ever review which shows how much this place sucks. The lady was extremely rude and was overall lazy. We had our food delayed?? And she never even told us why and kept ignoring us. We never received our 3 drinks that we ordered only 1 since there machine broke. and she was purposely taking a long time to get our food. The customer service is ridiculous and you might as well take your money somewhere else read more

I had the Shroom Burger and it was VERY tasty! The portobello mushroom is filled with cheese and fried. The shake shack sauce and other toppings really made it delish. It was about $11 for just the burger and it wasn't a huge burger. Wish it was more food. Not sure if it's always that expensive or just because we're in NYC and an airport. This was my first time at shake shack so will definitely be coming back! read more

Shake Shack - Shroom Burger - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

630 AM at JFK, landing from a West Coast flight and waiting several hours for my layover. As such, I was hungry. Shake Shack shockingly had limited rush, and screen ordering to minimize my early morning and sleep deprived interaction, so it was an instant win. I went to order from their limited breakfast menu, and ordered the sandwich with tater tots a and egg and cheese and bacon. The screen ordering system is needlessly confusion. I could not figure out how to move it forward, and then I proceeded to answer several questions, some of which repeated themselves. But finally, I got to the end and paid. In good news, my food came out very quickly. Sandwich was small, especially for the $7 price, but this is an airport shake shack. I wolfed down my food in the nearly empty eating area which was quite nice and clean, no complaints there. If there's no rush, highly recommend for breakfast read more

Literally the worst Shake Shack in America with the most miserable employees. There are over 30 people waiting for food at any given time and the kitchen is quieter than a Scientology birthing room. This site is in desperate need of management oversight and I of my frozen custard. read more

This is airport take out food - Somewhat pricey but reliable food. Expect a wait to order and get your food. Always a favorite - cheeseburgers, hot dogs, fries, shakes. The burgers can be ordered as a single or double. They are a bit greasy and the buns squishes down but they taste really good - these are not McD's burgers. Fries could be better. read more

It's been a few years and we have bypassed this place. This time, we stopped by as we didn't have other options. Menu has changed a bit since and now has this stack burger (shroom and cheese burger in one) A huge. improvement from previous visit was the meat, it's better and juicier, and the shroom is now filled with cheese. As busy as the place is, service was fast. Good crew working at this time of writing. You can order at a kiosks or from a cashier. Added 2 stars from before as the meal and service waa satisfying for a fast food place read more
