    Chicken burger and shake burger
    Katherine N.

    Shake Shack at Columbus Circle is exactly what you'd expect from a fast-casual legend posted up in one of Manhattan's busiest corners: reliably good food, slightly chaotic energy, and a race to find a seat that feels more intense than ordering. I went with the Chicken Shack, the ShackBurger, and their classic crinkle-cut fries--because sometimes, you just need to cover your bases. The food? Very solid. The chicken was crispy and juicy, the burger was fresh with that signature soft bun, and the fries were golden, seasoned, and perfectly crinkled. Shake Shack knows what they're doing when it comes to flavor and texture. But this particular location has its challenges. It's tucked inside the Time Warner Center, which means limited seating and a mall food court atmosphere, if you're lucky enough to snag a table at all. Best strategy? Get it to go and take your feast to Central Park--it's just across the street, and the view is far better than mall lighting. Service was a bit slow for fast food, but with the foot traffic here, it's understandable--if slightly frustrating when you're already hungry. All in all: Shake Shack still delivers on taste, but this location is more about convenience than comfort. Go for the food, skip the seating, and let Central Park upgrade your dining experience.

    We ordered double cheeseburgers with shake shack sauce (YUM), fries, and a strawberry lemonade 50/50. Great lunch meal and very satisfying! You can customize the burger. Credit Only - order on the kisok and they call your name when it's ready. There is a decent amount of seating. Located on the third floor of Columbus circle mall.

    What's there not to love about Shake Shack? You can't go wrong with a Shackburger, fries, and a shake. I've been to a lot of Shake Shacks and this one was one of the nicest ones I've been to. It is located inside the mall near Columbus Circle. The seated is a little limited for a busy lunch crowd. The inside of the restaurant was clean. The service was quick and the food came out fresh and hot. I had their Shackburger. The potato bun was soft. The burger had great flavor with their shack sauce. I shared a serving of fries and also split a strawberry shake. The fries were piping hot and slightly crispy so they were extra tasty. This was my first time having the strawberry shake. The strawberry shake was creamy and refreshing. My visit to this Shake Shack was awesome. Great location and delicious food!

    the food here is as good as any shake shack but you will have to fight someone for seating. the place is packed and there are about 10 tables so it makes for a lot of people standing around with food waiting to sit down. it's a nice place but it's better suited for takeout

    Vanilla Milkshake, Regular Fries, Single Shack Burger
    Leenzie B.

    I went here yesterday for dinner before my stroll around Central Park. I ordered my food ahead of time, picked it up, and ate inside. The staff were friendly, the ambiance was nice & clean. I was able to find a table to eat my food. I got the single shack burger, regular fries, and the vanilla milkshake. My only complaint was that the bun on the burger was ripped on the side and the fries were kind of dry. Other than that I would give Shake Shack another try

    4.5 Honestly, surprised no one has reviewed this location yet as they've been open for a bit. Located inside the Columbus Circle building on the 2nd floor, this is one of the nicer Shake Shacks in Manhattan. It's not very large with only a few tables but it is pristine and was hardly ever busy the few times I went after work. You can order at kiosks to the left of the entrance or at the counter. They had staff greeting customers, helping at the kiosks, delivering food at the tables and cleaning up. It was great. There were even staff walking around checking in on diners. During my last visit, I ordered the Black Truffle Burger, Truffle Fries and small soda. The burger had Gruyere cheese, truffle sauce and crispy fried onions. I loved the crispy fried onions which gave the burger that nice crunchy texture. The truffle sauce smelled heavenly and was not too overpowering. The fries were perfectly fried, topped with cheese and came with a side of truffle mayo. The truffle mayo was really addicting, and I dunked both my fries and burger in it as I ate. So good! It's nice eating at this location as it (usually) isn't overcrowded, providing a more comfortable setting to enjoy a burger and fries after a long day. For me, the cleanliness, proactive staff and the atmosphere really added to the overall dining experience.

    Dubai chocolate shake
    Taylee M.

    Okay, I finally tried the Dubai Shake Shack shake after three failed attempts at other locations. Here's the problem: it's actually sooo good!!! The pistachio and knafeh is perfect with the crackling chocolate shell. It was worth being at Columbus circle by 9:45am! Super clean store front and the workers were just as excited for me to try it. Please note that this shake is at very limited locations and only 25 a day, so come early!

    The other day, I stopped into the new Shake Shack at Columbus Circle, to check it out. I frequently shop at the Whole Foods (on the ground floor), so the idea of a Shake Shack nearby - on the second floor - was definitely a joyful one! And it turned out to be even better than I thought it would be! Yay! The staff was nice, the place was clean, the line was reasonable and the food was delicious. I ordered a Veggie Shack plus French fries, and everything tasted fresh and on point. My only complaint was that the music could have been a little softer; yet - to be fair - I'm sensitive to sound, so maybe it was just me. I didn't bring it up, as others around me didn't seem bothered by it. If you find yourself hungry after an afternoon of walking in Central Park or an evening of shopping at Whole Foods, then come upstairs for a delightful treat. : ) My Best, Kat

    My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

He was constantly busy zippin around but maintained a nice demeanor and made everyone feel welcome! Must orders of mine: the burger! Although small, it comes out piping hot and the fresh white onion between the bottom bun and burger is awesome because it doesn't make the bottom bun soggy and catches all the juices from the actual meat. Love subbing the fries for a Caesar salad! Standout appetizer is the fried zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki-- crispy, hot, juicy and I get it every time!

The flavor was great and it was just enough to fill me. The fish and chips were very delicious. The batter was nice and fluffy and the fish was huge. We loved the French onion soup, it had great flavor and the cheese on top made it so amazing! everything came out hot and delicious. We got there pretty early and I wish that we had gone on a day they had breakfast. The breakfast photos caught my eye. After we paid and gave our 20% auto gratuity, our waiter Jose asked if we wanted to leave additional gratuity. Our tip was already $25 and I was actually surprised he asked for more. We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

    Update: After my…read moreoriginal review, I was contact with management and they really helped to turn things around. He took the time to listen to our concerns and invited our group back so we could give their group another chance. While I still stand by how our initial experience made us feel, I also think it's important to acknowledge when a business owner responds with professionalism and genuinely works to rebuild trust. Our return visit was a completely different experience. I appreciate the way the owner handled the situation and his willingness to have an open conversation with us. It doesn't change what happened that first night, but it did change my impression of how much he cares about his guests and his business. I wanted my review to reflect that as well.
