The burger came out exactly how Shake Shack usually promises it. Hot. Familiar. Solid. Soft bun. Beefy center. Cheese doing its job. It was not life-changing but it was dependable in that national-chain comfort way. Like airport luxury but with better sauce. You know the lane. You know the bite. It delivered. The cheese fries were the banger. Crispy enough. Salty enough. Covered in that creamy cheese sauce that makes no nutritional argument and does not care to. They had the fast-food dopamine thing fully activated. Messy. Simple. Effective. The kind of side that steals attention from the burger without apologizing. The food overall was good but the energy around it threw the whole thing off. Flavor was there. Execution was there. But the vibe made everything taste a little dimmer. Food can only carry so much when the room feels like everybody clocked in against their will. Staff was miserable across the board. No warmth. No smile. No "what's up." Everyone looked jailed and unable to leave. A basic smile would have changed the whole experience. Instead the service made the meal feel heavier than it needed to. The space was decent and maintained. Food hall setup inside MGM. Clean enough. Easy enough. Nothing too crazy. More convenient stop than destination. it's giving... The Menu if it took place at a Shake Shack. read more

"We loved the juicy, well-charred ShackBurger and the French Onion Soup Burger at Shake Shack. The combination of melty cheese and caramelized onions was a fantastic take on the classic soup. A truly filling and tasty meal! read more

Stopped by for a quick bite before going to a comedy show at the Theatre. We arrived around 5pm before the dinner rush. The dining area was clean. We found a table in the back as we waited for our order. I'm happy we were early enough as the food did take a bit of time to come out. However, I'm not complaining because that extra time ensures delicious and juicy double cheeseburgers and a fresh order of fries. My husband enjoyed a strawberry shake and I enjoyed a strawberry lemonade with mini booba. All in all, will I go back based on this experience, absolutely. I do believe our timing was key in our experience. read more

This Shake Shack is located inside the Casino building, so you will have to park in the garage and take an elevator to get to it. The ordering process was easy since it was at a touchpad kiosk station. The food didn't take too long either. My husband got the advertised Black Truffle Burger, and it was so small, definitely not worth the price. I just got a single ShackBurger and it was fine, I guess. I think the photo I took speaks for itself, though. read more

The food takes a while but is worth it. You can order it and wait, order ahead or grab it once you leave the casino. I usually get a milkshake to go along with the chicken sandwich and fries but today i got a mango lemonade. I prefer the strawberry lemonade as the mango is not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. Sandwiches and fries were good. read more

Grabbed a quick dinner before seeing Colin Jost. Since there were lines at the counter and the kiosks, I opted to order from the app. This led to me getting my food AFTER my friend who ordered from the kiosk ate hers. Food was good, as usual, but I don't recommend ordering on the app. There's plenty of seating in the food court area. read more

We came here for a quick bite after showing our guests around National Harbor and the casino. It was very easy to order on their tablets and the food came out rather quickly. The food tasted great as the other locations and had ample seating for large groups. read more

They wouldn't refill my unsweetened iced tea. The food came out 10 minutes after they texted it was ready.

My food looking like the picture. I can say it looks a lot better this time,not burnt, not sloppy and well put together minus my onions I requested. Remind me again why request a tip when my order is not complete. Service seems a little better at this location. It's a shame I had to endure what I went through the 1st time. Due to it was a bad snow day the day before and workers really didn't want to be there because they had to work. Why should customers have to deal with workers not doing their job right the first time??? Steak and shake is not cheap but when it's made properly it's well worth the price. read more

Got to Shake Shack at 11am and my order was placed by 11:05. I opted to order on their kiosk and said I would be dining in and I was asked to enter my table number so the food could be brought to my table. The place wasn't busy at all as my photo shows, however, it literally took over 20 minutes for my chicken sandwich and Coke Zero to be prepared (and it wasn't delivered to my table as promised). The sandwich had one single pickle and just underwhelmed me...as did the lack of service and speed of service. read more

This is the first time I had a burger from shake shack that I was not impressed at all. It lacked flavor and it wasn't good. I ordered a large drink with no ice, they filled my cup with ice and when I told them I ordered no ice I was told that was the last of the drink. I poured it into another cup and it was not a full cup even though that's what I paid for. I won't be returning to this location. read more

I was the only one in line and it took 20 mins to get a burger, fries and a drink. The tables were all dirty, and one of the staff kept cursing and listening to videos on their phone.. Looked like things weren't being taken care of in the back which made me scared to eat the food. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with recent incident where someone lost their life on property, but I'm a bit concerned if this is what the highest grossing food venue seems to be for MGM. read more

Wow this place ALWAYS hits the spot! The food was absolutely delicious and we love the energy and atmosphere of the place when you go into National Harbor. It is super easy to place an order with their touch screen ordering and they put together the food super quick! We also got a cookies and cream shakes which are delicious because they have little bits of Oreo cookies in it and you get little chunks of it when you're sipping on it! Oh and try the cheddar bacon fries! They are really good! 10/10 for the quality of food, the overall appearance of the restaurant and the friendly staff! read more

The food is always good but it is very overpriced. Specialty BBQ burger fries and a root beer is almost $24. I was very friendly but the cashier had very little customer service skills. I felt like I was the one between the two of us with customer service acumen as I countered her rudeness with kindness. She acted like I was bothering her when I asked the cashier what was in the specialty sandwich. She said , "I don't know. The picture is right there. The picture tells you what's in it." The menu isn't that large. And the picture showed something fried as a topping - was it onion rings, fried pickles, fried onion straws. Shake shack should train their employees better or hire people that aren't rude. I'm sure there are good employees there but that quick interaction created a huge negative impression of this location. read more

Solid shake shack, once you can find it in the casino. It's almost as if it is owned by someone other than the casino its located in. Please add some signage! Food came out correct & within 10 minutes. Always delicious. read more

Rude, lazy, entitled staff. Food was average. The entire area is louder than it should be and colder than it should be.

I have a shake shack in my neighborhood......tbh I'm not a fan. The food always seems like the quality of a concession stand. However this one at National Harbor is Much better! I was pleasantly surprised of their vegetarian options. The food actually tasted good and seemed to be of better quality. They are located in the food court and definitely the busiest out of all the fast casual restaurants in the court. Best tip is to order from the kiosks rather than waiting in the long line. They are on the wall perpendicular to the register. This will save you a lot of unnecessary wait time. Also nice that they have a free tap water area. read more

My father seems to think that this is the only dining option at MGM National Harbor, so we end up here often. (Read: Always!) No complaints ever, but I'm surprised that I haven't written a review sooner. Anyway. Here's what I had: SmokeShack® -- Cheeseburger with Niman Ranch applewood-smoked bacon, chopped cherry peppers, ShackSauce / Patty(ies) grilled greatness with ample toppings Fries -- Lightly salted, krinkly perfection. Small portions, so there's NO room for sharing. NONE. Zero. Sugar Plum Fairy milkshake (holiday, seasonal) -- Delicious! The shakes don't stay in "shake form" for long, so you've gotta pretty much drink it AS SOON as they hand it to you. Everything is alacart, so it can be a pricey meal. Two burgers + two fries + two milkshakes = $40! *I found a random receipt pic from previous visit... **Will add more pics from previous visits soon. __ IG: @f.hux I #yelp and I know things.

Fairly mediocre. I ended up getting the bacon avocado burger and it was quite small. Also got the spicy fries which were great. I have to say my favorite burger place is five guys and Burger King and that's a no particular order This doesn't even come close to either. The lines are fairly long but they move very quickly. I don't see feel bad for the workers because they were really getting ground down especially during peak time at the casino. I think there are better options to eat at that are a bit more affordable so next time I wouldn't come back read more

Rude, rude and rude! Cashier literally asked a customer to wait while he sent a text. Then he told the staff behind him even though was a long line he was not going to hurry. The lady handing out food told a customer ... didn't you hear me calling your name. Customer service was not taught as this place. RUDE! read more

Worst Cherry Limeade I've ever tasted, it tastes closer to pomegranate juice. You can't even taste any lemonade nor any cherry flavor.

The food here is very affordable the experience is priceless this location is in the middle of the MGM casino and mall They have free parking and the observatory Changes with the seasons outside he could watch the fountains And have a view of the national monument across the harbor definitely a great day trip from the 757. The food at Shake shack is always hot and makes you want to go back for seconds they also have a bourbon shake which taste quite dangerous yet delicious read more

Despite being located within a hotel, which is much more of a casino containing a hotel containing a shake shack, this location missed the mark of the standard for the chain. The food was fine, but not noteworthy. The atmosphere felt sketchy based on the lack of families and abundance of people who came for the casino. The service was borderline unsatisfactory as every employee we interacted with seemed put out by having to participate in the process. I tried the old standards to break the ice and brighten the mood, asking how their day is going, wishing them a speedy shift, but no one was having it and the ice remained solid. I'm not sure if it's management who are rough on these folks or the half-drunk impatient gamblers making up their clientele. Either way someone needs to help these poor people out. They are miserable which makes the experience feel miserable. It's strike number two in Shake Shack's up at bat for me. They are quickly losing their place as my favorite burger chain. read more

The "food court" area of the casino has drastically taken a hit with covid. We used to take turns saving a table any time we stopped for a bite. Now we barely see anyone when we stop by. Shake Shack used to be crowded all the time. The meals aren't the best value for money. The portions are small and not exciting. The fries tasted frozen and reheated. The water cups are tiny. read more

I had my very first Shake Shack when I went to NYC a couple years ago. I enjoyed it so much that's why when I found that there's a Shake Shack inside the MGM hotel in National Harbor, I was looking forward in visiting this location. I ordered the Smoke Shack with Bacon & Cheese fries. I was disappointed because it feels like it wasn't the same as the Shake Shack that I had in NYC a couple years ago. Their burgers are cooked medium rare but when I had ny very first bite, I noticed that it is medium well or close to being well done. Due to that reason, it is not as juicy as I expected. The bacon & cheese fries only have a few bacon bits. I feel like everything is overpriced because you cannot do combos. In the end, if you are around the area and wanted to try what the fuss is about, I recommend for you to try it. But if you are expecting your burgers to taste like In-N-Out or Five Guys, you'll be disappointed. read more

Shake Shack National Harbor - Smoke Shack with bacon & cheese fries - Fast Food Near Me - Oxon Hill, Maryland

If you've been to any other Shake Shack, you will probably agree that this one is not the best. What this Shake Shack has going for it is its location and the lack of reasonable competitors. It is easy to crush the competition if it doesn't exist. Last night we arrived at 10:54pm and were told that they were closed. As we walked away, we saw several customers that were complaining about the line closing early. Note to management, it may be worthwhile to consider extending holiday hours later especially after a show releases from the theatre. Fast forward to this morning, I arrived at 10:34am to no line and promptly placed my order. I received a hot burger, but cold fries. How? They only opened at 10:30am. How SWAY? I need answers. read more

This restaurant is located in the food court of the MGM casino in the national Harbor. There are printed menus and a menu on the wall near the cashier. There is also a large dining area with televisions and a place to get utensils and condiments. I had been hearing how good the food was here so I was happy that I could finally try it. We were in town celebrating a birthday so we asked the cashier, Nina, if they do anything for birthdays. She said that she didn't know because it was her third day working there but she would find out. What she found out I'm not sure because she never gave us an answer to our question. Although she never got back to us she was nice & joked with us. We were provided with a buzzer to notify us when our food was ready. The food was made to order and the burger was fresh and the fries were hot. My hamburger was served with lettuce and tomato. It was good but it was very small to be over five dollars. The fries were not greasy but they lacked flavor and I did not really care for them and wouldn't order them again. I also got a strawberry shake. The color was not really pink so I wasn't sure if it was strawberry at first. We did taste the strawberry but we were only able to taste a small hint of it. Overall I was a little disappointed in the food and the price of it. We paid almost twenty five dollars for two small burgers, two fries, and a shake. Unfortunately I don't plan on returning. read more
