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

Horrible service. I ordered two burgers and the lady said I only ordered one . I gave her my receipt and she still didn't give me my burger. They told me that the root beer float had beer . I had never heard of a root beer float having beer. Finally, they take forever to get your food . I don't recommend. The burger tastes good but the service is mediocre. read more

Solidly ok. I never go here when I'm flying out of JFK, because the line is always so long and I'm always so late (the sushi place across the way is not bad in these moments), but I tragically took a cross-country red-eye and debarked in Terminal 4 of JFK, freezing cold, and what do I see but the neon green of Shake Shack, the line only two people deep. It felt like a mirage, almost, as I didn't even know Shake Shack had breakfast, but it appears that they have a pretty decent breakfast menu (further research reveals that this location is one of the few serving breakfast?? A gem!!) I didn't want to feel that crappy about eating Shake Shack at 6 in the morning, so I got the Egg White Light, which is egg whites, cheddar, arugula, and Shake breakfast sauce on a burger bun. I added tomato. My sandwich came out pretty fast and it was quite beautiful, with the vibrant red tomato complementing the verdant arugula. I felt like arugula was such an elevated touch that I was not expecting from Shake Shack, although the soft burger bun was definitely grounding and humbling. The sandwich was solidly not bad. I finished it in maybe 5 minutes, which was more from being surprisingly famished after my flight than from it being scrumptious. I'm glad I added the tomato. Of all the breakfast options in the airport, the Egg White Light from Shake Shack was definitely a little different from your run of the mill Dunkin breakfast sandwiches, and I'm glad I tried it, especially after finding out the breakfast menu is rare to most Shake Shack locations. Not much protein, so I did definitely get hungry not soon after. read more

Here's what you need to know: Awesome service at this shake shack, especially from Gadry . Food was cooked perfectly, as were the shakes. The price is not overly gouging despite the fact it's in the busy JFK airport terminal 4. the counter space was super clean making for a sanitary welcoming ambiance. I paid $17 for a burger and shake read more

Shake Shack - Chocolate shake - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

There are lots of options at Terminal 4 at JFK, but most of them are very high in price, so that is why I chose Shake Shack. It was more expensive than at home,but still more reasonable than the other venues. No tables at the location where I was, just walk up and order on a touch screen and then get your food. Then you have to find a place to go sit and eat. Not a pleasant event....but when you are desperate... Food was just ok...could not take pictures and balance food at the same time. I got a burger and water as they had no tea offering that I saw. Filled an empty spot,, but that was it for me. read more

Omfg. Who has 30 minutes to wait for a fast food burger? Go to a sit down restaurant nearby for better food in less time. All they make are hamburgers, you think they'd figure out how to not have a 30 minute wait time, especially when it's not busy. NEVER AGAIN. I won't even go to a non-airport location because of this disgusting experience. read more

Shake Shack - Line isn't even that long. Clowns run this place - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Came here after security, made it through the line quickly, ordered from the bank of automated kiosks, and only then noticed there were dozens of people were waiting for their food ahead of me. My order was not fulfilled until 45 minutes after I placed it, and I had to rush eating it to make my flight. Automated kiosks help cut costs, but unlike a human worker, they don't have any way to slow the order queue when the kitchen is getting backed up. This can easily lead to a situation where orders come in much faster than they can be fulfilled, overwhelming the kitchen. It appears this is what happened on my visit. Even though I like Shake Shack, I wouldn't advise coming to this location unless you have at least an hour before your flight leaves the gate; or unless management switch back to cashiers, who have some ability to slow the order line and help signal customers towards less-busy options. read more

Waited 20 minutes for order while employees were cleaning or doing other things. Buegwrs sat on shelves until one employee decided to full fill orders and because customers were furious! Employees were then rude and unapologetic! Can I give a negative score? 1 is too high!!! read more

I can barely tolerate Shake Shack's high price points as-is at their standalone restaurants. So I wasn't too enthusiastic about going to this airport location because I knew it would be even more expensive. Unfortunately, dining options are limited here. There are two Shake Shacks at JFK. Both are inside Terminal 4 after clearing security; one near Gate B23 and the other is near Gate B37. B23 is open every day from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM and B37 is open from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. B37 has a dining area with power outlets, while B23 does not. The overall decor and theme is consistent with their restaurants outside the airport. They have their signature wood tables as well, all made using recycled materials from former bowling alleys. On the menu you will find breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, shakes, drinks, and more. Comparing the prices to the average Shake Shack in Queens, expect to pay around 20% extra here. There was a long line to order and use the kiosk, mobile ordering seemed a little faster. There is a sign nearby with a QR code that you scan with your phone and it'll direct you to a website. My friend had the SmokeShack, which is my go-to. It's a cheeseburger with chopped peppers, bacon, and angus beef. They thought it was fine, the potato bun was soft and the patty was juicy. It was not spicy at all; normally it should have a little more kick to it. The accompanying crinkle cut fries could've used more salt but was otherwise crispy. I decided to get a "lighter" lunch at Bento Sushi nearby, so I just got the original Shack-made lemonade. It was sweet and natural tasting. If you're really craving this, go to literally any other location in the city before your flight or after you leave the airport. read more

Shake Shack - Lemonade ⋅ Terminal 4 @ JFK - Queens, New York - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

In the mood for a good burger while waiting for a flight? Shake Shack has you covered if you are in terminal 4 at JFK airport. Located in the terminal across from Gate B22, this Shake Shack is a TO GO only setup. You will need to eat at the gate seats. There are three ways to order: use the App, a kiosk or a cashier. The burgers are the same quality as you would get outside, but you get to pay airport prices, which are roughly 20% more. read more

There are really limited food options in this terminal, so Shake Shack is always busy. You can order ahead via mobile app, at the kiosk or with a cashier (if the first two fail you). The kiosk is pretty intuitive though and I was able to use it without issues. My food came out fairly quickly and everything was pretty hot and fresh (I assume because of the volume they do, nothing sits for long). This Shake Shack isn't special or different than other locations, but it's good in a pinch when you're at JFK and need some food. read more

Shake Shack - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This shake shack is right outside terminal 4 gates. Nice to have a familiar burger right before boarding the flight. Ordering in this place is fully through a kiosk screen. Once food is ready they will call your name. The place was packed at around 8 pm. There was a 20 minutes waiting. I went for my favorites, shake stack and chick n stack burgers. Shake stack is kind of their signature burger, and I like it a little bit better than the chick n stack. read more

Took over 40min to get our food after we ordered at the kiosk. My young daughter's burger had a bone in it. My other daughter's burger was burnt. The fries were not heated all the way through and were still cold, especially in the center. read more

Original shake shack single burger. Hits the spot right every time. Breakfast for champions. Got the vanilla and chocolate custard mix single. It's a huge cup! Very generous. A bit on the sweeter side but smooth. I'm impressed. $24.38 usd for the meal. Overall Kel rating: 4.5/5 The good: for chain burgers , these guys are good. The decent: no tables near shake shack, hence trek a bit further to enjoy the messy burger The ugly: can be a wait, so don't grab if you are in a hurry to catch a flight. read more

Super slow took over 30 minutes for us to get our food. Food was also quite expensive for what it was. Food was good but just took way too long read more

Almost 30 minutes for a burger. Are you Fing serious. 5 or maybe 6 working lunch hour at JFK T4. Attitudes already high. When people ask for an update, they roll their eyes and walk away. If it was not cause its 20 to get a meal, i would have thrown it back cause of their lack of courtesy and disrespectful attitudes. Ps not everyone had it but the ones that provided the food are nasty, there i said it. read more

Shake Shack is a pleasant surprise at the terminal. It is relatively cheap when you compare it with the other food places in the terminal. We were waiting to catch our flight to Holland and had a couple of hours to go. We used the airport app. were you can order and pick it up, or they even deliver to your terminal. Shake Shack didn't disappoint. The burgers were great! read more

We caught a 7 am flight back to LA after visiting NYC. Happy to see Shake Shack already open for breakfast near Gate B23 so early in the morning. It was a delightful surprise to note that we got two sausage egg cheese with a side of tasty tater tots for the same price we paid for one mediocre breakfast sandwich at the LAX Delta terminal, Our order was filled quickly. We carried our purchased breakfast to our boarding Gate B36 and discovered there's another Shake Shack right adjacent to it! Our prior LAX experience made us appreciate these delicious breakfast. read more

Shake is an imitation of In and Out andSuper Dooper. It has good burgers, and I recommend their Smokeshack Double. Excellent burger, not too greasy like Super can get. But the fries are bland and dry. I would go again for the burgers, but not if there was a Super or In and Out available. read more

Chicken burger; chicken was fried till black. I sent it back only to be given another piece of dark fried chicken meat. The smokeshack burger. Bun was small and flat. The meat was thin and dry.

A small outpost of the classic restaurant located at the JFK airport -- there are lots of tables and outlets to charge your phone and fuel up before getting on your next flight. I got the Shroom Burger which was SO good -- I feel like I'm generally so-so about portobello mushroom burgers since they're not that flavorful but this one was filled with cheesy goodness. The fries here are also super tasty! Fair warning that the food takes forever to get ready. It was fairly busy when we stopped by for dinner, and it took easily upwards of ~30 minutes for our takeout box to arrive. I wouldn't go here if you're in a rush and need a quick bite but this would make more sense if you have a longer layover. read more

HORRIBLE experience - they had one staff member boxing and distributing food, not very busy. Ordered at 7:40pm and didn't get food until 8:10pm (30min). Frustratingly slow watching them, it seemed like they were picking through burgers and had no idea what item went with each order. In a rush NEVER coming back here. read more

My son's first hot dog was burned to a crisp, black! The second replacement dog had mold on it. Manager couldn't care less, didn't apologize, didn't ask to see it, just grabbed it and threw it out. Don't eat here! read more

It's an airport location and you get what you get. It was about an hour before they closed and you can sure tell. Service was crappy. Food was crappy. My hamburger bun was super cold and wet, like the just tried to thaw it out from frozen. Staff was definitely looking forward to going home and it showed. I hope it's just this location or this business is in trouble. Lots of choices and this one you can avoid. read more

We had dinner last night at the Shake Shack on Federal Hwy in Fort Lauderdale. There was nobody at the order counter, three rather corpulent female employees were back at the serving bar, looking at one of their phones. I asked one to help us, and she came and pointed toward the flat screen order console "You gotta order here" and then walked back to her co-workers! An older couple was there and we had to help them order their dinner, the employees couldn't be bothered.... The hamburger was good but not very large. The fries however were soggy and barely cooked. Folks, avoid avoid avoid! I tried one of these restaurants in an airport once and it was much the same, employees who could care les and average food at a relatively expensive price. read more

I travel through JFK pretty frequently and I always see the long lines at shake shack but I never felt like waiting in it. Finally, I walked by during a slow period and decided to give it a try... I ordered the shack stack which is a burger topped with a mushroom stuffed with cheese and deep fried... If you think that sounds delicious, it is. It was incredible and I've actually thought about this burger several times since I've gotten it. I actually can't wait to get back to the airport and get it again! The way that the cheese oozes out of the mushroom after each bite... Oh my. I've heard that their milkshakes are also incredible. I look forward to trying them next time! Prices are reasonable but just prepare to wait in line a bit. The word is out about how delicious these burgers are! read more

Shake Shack - Look at all that gooey cheese! - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This has to be one of the most unorganized, frustrating fast food locations I've honestly ever decided to waste my time at in my entire life. I'm not sure if they were having problems with their system, because that's what it seemed like the problem was. Regardless, there was no communication with the crowd of 30 people waiting for their orders. Some people like myself had been waiting over 20 minutes for their food. The only time I ever saw food come out was when one person brought no joke 10 bags to the counter and started calling out names. What kind of method is that? There's bags that were sitting there for over 10 minutes that I'm sure had cold food in them by that point. After a while people started to get really frustrated and rightly so, since no one said a word what was going on. Finally got my bag and realized they forgot to put my fries in so I had to go back. Are you kidding? These people do not care about their job, there is 0 professionalism and management is clearly non existent. You've got 10 people walking around like zombies behind the counter that don't give a damn about the job they're performing. Ridiculous isn't even the word to describe it. 0 stars avoid at all costs read more

This is probably the most dystopian Shake Shack I have been to... even by airport food standards. It looked well-staffed on the evening of Aug 21st, but I ended up waiting at least 20 mins for my burger, as the workers in charge of packing the food seemed to walk confusedly in circles around the prep area instead of packing all the burgers that were piling up in the window. (The guy literally just needed to grab 1 burger that was sitting there and hand it to me. I just wanted to go in there and help them pack the food.) When they got around to it, they packed the food complacently at ground-breaking sloth-like speed while at least 2 dozen customers stood waiting, fossilized with disbelief. By the time I finally got my burger, the cheese had congealed into a solid mass and the burger was cold, gray, and dry... well on its way towards becoming astronaut food. I nearly missed my flight. To anyone considering ordering from here, make sure you have more than a half hour to spare before your boarding time, and maybe even a microwave handy to reheat your cold food when you finally receive it. P.S. Note that there are 2 Shake Shacks in Terminal 4. This review is for the Gate B23 location. read more

Chris and I dined here on layover to Europe at 7pm on Friday. They have a dining area intended only for patrons actively eating however we saw many people who were not patrons taking up seating which resulted in us having to stalk the dining area. I had to hold a table while Chris ordered. The service was friendly. Food was hot and fresh and delicious! It was ready within seven minutes. The dining area was clean and employees were doing a good job cleaning. We wish they would enforce the dining area for patrons only. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience and food and we recommend this place. read more

We eat at Shake shack all the time. I own the stock. The JFK location is just awful. Not the food - the service. The woman filling the bags filled waited till all the bags here were full of burgers before doing anything else. Then she moved them to the fries station - even the ones that didn't get fries. Filled the ones with fries and THEN served them all. I ordered at 10:45 and got my order at 11:05. Who's buying from Shake shack JFK? People CATCHING PLANES!! I asked her for her name. She wouldn't give it to me. I asked for the manger. A guy said he was but wouldn't give me his name either and their badges are all turned to the back. Instead of a relaxing lunch while waiting, I'm eating cold food while boarding. I said I didn't believe the guy who said he was the manager really was. Why? Because if he was the manager he'd have cared about my complaint. Edit: no napkins in the bag. read more

Shake Shack - Bags full of burgers just waiting. - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Quick service which is absolutely essential in an airport terminal (most of the time). We had a 7 hour layover so I took my sweet time eating this burger and shake. I loved that the shake had real bits of strawberry and the fries are pretty good dipped in the Shack sauce. You have to ask for it though as they don't give it to you standard. Only reason for docking is the condiments station where you get napkins and pump ketchup was a little messy. Overall it was a good experience. read more

Shake Shack - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This is still the best burgers around. It is just at the airport. But the quality and taste is unique ..and you can taste the signature flavor of there burgers. There burgers have to be in the top 5 enchiladas in the burger business. Ranking them number 1or 2 in my ranking. So they definitely one of the terminals biggest attractions. Because that not only known in nyc or just in queens. They are known throughout the United states at airports and restaurants. I also love there spicy chicken breast sandwiches with the soft bun and cheese with lettuce and tomatoes. A great taste with there signature crinkle cheese French fries. And last but not the least there cheese burgers .I love the well done double cheese burgers with lettuce and tomatoes. This burger separates it self from the compation by far . So when I am in the airport or just going out to the mall or the movies I will definitely grab some shake shack read more

Shake Shack - Burgers Near Me - Jamaica, New York

This is the most poorly run fast food establishment I've ever seen. I waited 15 minutes for a mushroom burger and fries and then had to leave or miss my flight. There was barely even a line! The space is filled with 4 or 5 people just kind of slowly and somewhat aimlessly roaming around and laughing. One person on the griddle somehow failing to produce any read to eat food. I have absolutely no idea what the other 3 people were doing. When I asked for the manager, they pointed to a man sitting outside at a table on a laptop. I went out and approached him, and let me tell you - "Minardo" (or whatever his name was), was completely unaffected by my discontent. I handed him my receipt and told him that I had to catch my flight, but that this was a donation to his clearly failing business. I wished him luck on his computer games and left to run to my gate . read more

Food was great. Like all airport food, overpriced. For how much we spent, they should have been meals, not burger only orders. The shack burger was delicious.
