    Shack burger
    Airon A.

    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.

    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.

    Food: - shroom burger: 0/10, no sauce, two pieces of tomato + lettuce, not even wrapped - same price as the one that has a bun Service: - order came out fast - everyone was busy Ambiance: - close to B terminals

    Waited a while but worth the wait! Just as good as the ones at a stand alone location. They also had employees weaving around the dining section offering feee refills!!

    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.

    Chicken shack with onions, pickles and tomatoes + side of hash brown tots with cheese ~$20
    Kiana M.

    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!

    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.

    Just standing around , not bagging food . Nothing being cooked.

    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

    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.

    Decent Shake Shack in JFK. Very fast service - easy ordering on the kiosk and the food came out quick. Not really anywhere to sit with tables which is a little annoying but otherwise the food is what you expect!

    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.

    it's a shake shack at an airport it's going to take a little longer than normal. the menu is slightly condensed but they're not price gouging or anything crazy at least. if you're at the airport and want some shake shack it will definitely do

    Entire country celeries takes over 30 minutes to get your food then it's cold. Not worth the wait.

    Why doesn't this location have mobile ordering?

    It's more of a satalite location. Because it's inside the airport

    Is the Shake Shack in terms 4 at JFK accessable to all, or only ticked passenger? Can you walk from terminal 5 to terminal 4?

    Hi Janet, Unfortunately it is only accessible to travelers who have a ticket and their plane is…

    Got a hot chicken biscuit sandwich and 5 fried pickle spears. The to go screen said 20 min, I got…read moremine probably in around 10 or less (I was probably lucky?). Both the sandwich and pickle spears were great! The only problem is that they forgot the pickles on the chicken sandwich, which is one the one hand hilarious and on the other very annoying lol. However, I still liked it a lot (even without the pickles). Would probably eat in next time so I can make sure the pickles get on my sandwich!

    Ya'll, believe all the one stars. The service is almost intentionally bad. It operates like a…read morejailhouse slop kitchen run by equally miserable staff that seem personally offended that you showed up to eat. I placed a to-go order and when I questioned how long it would take, so that we could walk around and come back to pick up the order, the waiter responded with an unnecessarily snarky attitude, telling me that they were "not a fast-food restaurant." I wasn't asking for fast food. I was simply asking about the wait time. There was absolutely no reason to be condescending to a customer. Since I didn't have 30 minutes to wait, I asked him to cancel the order and refund my payment. This somehow made him even snarkier. I asked to speak to a manager, who I'm fairly convinced may be a fictional character at this location. After some additional attitude, he finally agreed to cancel the order. Except he didn't. Which raises the obvious question: why work in an industry that requires you to interact with people when you seem to actively resent interacting with people? If basic courtesy and politeness are beyond your emotional bandwidth, perhaps customer service is not the career path for you. I was charged for an order I never received, and the refund was never processed. I only discovered the charge much later when reviewing my bank statement and ultimately had to dispute the transaction with my bank to get my money back. Avoid this place like the bubonic plague. Honestly, the plague might offer better hospitality.
