Two chicken burgers, one smoky classic bbq burger, and one shack burger with fries and mac and cheese
Janet W.

My son is a big fan of Shake shack. Surprising there was not a line when we arrived at 8 pm on Saturday and we were able to place our order quickly and find a clean table. Bathrooms were clean too! Food came out in about 10 minutes and was hot and fresh. I thought my chicken breast was a large size. I preferred the fries to the mac and cheese but my kids liked the mac. They are open until 2 am for those who have the late night munchies. Prices are affordable in my book on the Magnificent Mile! Bring the family for a quick bite.

Came here for a quick bite to eat before our night architecture tour. Luckily, it was not very busy and we were able to snag a table for all of us. Shake shack rarely disappoints, the food was great and we all enjoyed our meal.

First time in-Foods mediocre at best, fries are alright. Wouldn't waste my time. Service was quick and workers were happy. Place was clean. Wouldn't be here if it weren't my friends.

Double Black Truffle Parmesan Fries Double truffle burger  Single truffle burger  Tropical kiwi lemonade  Thai milk tea shake

Had to try their new white truffle burger. The burger was delicious, though a bit on the greasy side. The truffle flavor was subtle, but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. We also had the white truffle fries which I feel like the sauce could've had a stronger truffle flavor. Also fries were tad bit salty... probably from the parmasan. Even with a crowd, they served us pretty fast. Pretty decent spot if you need a quick bite, if you don't mind the typical fast food vibes.

I arrived around 12:20pm on a Tuesday afternoon (Christmas Eve) with my son and sister after checking into hotel that was up the street. The smell of the burgers drew us here. I placed an order around 12:25pm via the tablets. My son got a hotdog and fries. I got a double bacon cheese burger and fries. I took a number card and sat down. It can be a little pricey! I dislike that they don't have combos. Fortunately, there was seats available for us as it wasn't that busy. They have a men and women's restroom but also an all gender restroom, which was nice. The restaurant was clean. They have free water available. Our food was brought to us at 12:30pm. It was fresh and delicious! The tasted matched the pleasant aromas. I only went here once during my vacation but if i was a local, I'd definitely be somewhat of a regular.

I added the ketchup at home, but the burger was nothing id crave
Elle Z.

T-Mobile provided a free hamburger and I always wanted to try. The deal made me spend $5 so I got cheese fries. I downloaded the app and opened an account. It was zero degrees out so I figured probably a good time to go. No crowds. I got a smashburger (no bun cuz the allergen list says it has sesame in it). The burger was nothing special. The lettuce was wilted and there was a tiny tomato on it with onion strips and their sauce. (I added ketchup when I got home with my takeout.) No thanks in the entire burger. I tossed the wilted lettuce after I bit into it. The sauce was not something I would ever care to eat ever again. The meat was nothing special. Sandwich as a whole, I've had WAY better elsewhere. Buona Beef has an epic burger. The crinkle cut fries with cheese were edible but that's the only positive thing I can say. I'd never buy again and sorry to say, I can't see myself choosing to eat here ever again. I permanently deleted my app account and deleted the app. I understand their shakes are good but I won't most likely go back to find out.

Bacon Cheese Fries
Matthew B.

It's easy, quick, and good. Love the burgers, fries, and the hot dog. I'll stop in after a movie or while shopping for a quick and easy meal. Always busy, but clean and friendly,

Shack burger add pickles it was good
Regena K.

Always a solid lunch nice staff I always order shack burger add pickle. This time I wanted extra sauce and onion strips which they did not provide. It's still really good.

Shackburger and cookies and cream milkshake
Caryl Y.

This is my first time trying shake shack and i was not disappointed. Despite going on a very busy time during St Patricks weekend, the service was quick and I was able to find seating. Maybe because it was my first real meal of the day and it was already evening, but the burger was cooked to perfection in my opinion. It was slightly pinkish in the middle and was not dry at all. The vegetables were also crisp and fresh. For drinks, I got their cookies and cream milkshake and it was thick and creamy. Overall, I understand the Shake Shack hype. Now that I tried the east coast rep for fast food burgers, I cant wait to try In n Out next!

Recommended by a friend who is a local. Came around 12:30 on Wednesday early June. Ordered right…read moreaway, not too busy. Was able to get a seat outside. I can see this place getting really busy, very popular. Ordered the Chicago dog, first time trying. It was amazing! Loved all the toppings. If you're really hungry order two. Fries were ok, wish I would have gotten the tater tots. Great place to come after walking along Michigan Av. and/ or visiting Hancock tower.

I wanted to love this place. I really did…read more The hot dog looked beautiful. The fries smelled promising. Hope was alive. Then tragedy struck. I asked for extra sport peppers... and they never made it into the bag. The peppers that did survive then launched itself onto the ground after my first bite, never to be seen again. A lone pepper remained. A true Chicago casualty. I ordered ahead for pickup at 12:15, and while it was ready on time, I think it had been sitting for a bit because everything was cold by the time I got back. The fries had good flavor but had sadly crossed over into soggy territory. The sauces were tasty (and generously portioned), but paying $1 each bruised my sauce-loving heart just a little. One thing that genuinely surprised me was the seating. The inside is tiny, and almost all of the seating is outdoors. It had me wondering... what exactly happens here in a Chicago January? Do we all just huddle around our hot dogs for warmth? Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, it just didn't live up to the hype for me. Maybe I caught them on an off day, because I can definitely see the potential.
