Lynn T.

it's been probably 3 years since I've gone to shake shake for a burger..last time I went was for the Dubai shake which was a let down.. in that time I think I've gotten used to better burgers like 7th street burger that this was not the experience I was expecting especially for the $ you pay. So I decided to try their new Korean burger.. nothing Korean about it.. the sauce I had to triple check if it was just forgotten or deep somewhere it existed.. the meat was truly well done, dry, not juicy.. for $13 this was like a snack.. the only plus was the woman who gave me my to order who actually smiled and told me to have a great night... in nyc this is rare

They are always busy, food is usually good. Done take out twice and both times something was wrong with my order, but it was a Sunday so don't know if that makes a difference Seating plenty but always people circling looking for seating, it'd be stressful if I were planning on eating in

Whenever I order a root beer float, all the ice cream is melted by the time I get my order. Whatever.

Yall are wrong as hell for giving me sauce in a serving size fit for an ant. Food good though.

Cherry Blossom Shake

I usually get my food to go and the employees package it well. The Cherry Blossom Shake is so delicious. The fries aren't super flavorful, but their burgers are pretty good. There's also some decent seating options here; it's a fairly affordable place for the UWS.

Chicken Shack

Honestly, I think this might be the prettiest shake shack in the city. It's spacious, clean; and has so much seating. Public restrooms are conveniently located downstairs and they're usually well kept. The service is fast with the same great eats Shake Shack is known for. We tried the seasonal banana pudding and it's not as good as Magnolia, but it's pretty decent!

I came to grab lunch here during my day at the Natural History Museum. At first I couldn't understand why no one was at the register for me to place my order and I waited there for about 10 minutes but then I realized that even though they had a register, it wasn't in use. I went to one of the iPads provided near the register to manually enter my order. I like ordering from the iPad although a little face-to-face interaction never hurt anyone. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a diet coke. The food was made and delivered quickly and it was delicious. I love shake shack and I've enjoyed the burgers and fries as well as the black and white milkshakes for a long time. I still remember the first time I tried Shake Shack in 2012. Every experience is memorable and enjoyable.

Half-filled creamsicle float

This place is ridiculously slow. As in, I've been here twice and although I've ordered for small parties (4 people) each time, it's never taken me faster than 20-30min to get my order. Staff is hardly what I'd call friendly. If you MUST order here, use the kiosks as they're faster than ordering from the often unmanned register. Also be aware that their portions are tiny. As my mom says, they're "kid-sized burgers for adult prices". We received creamsicle shake at perhaps half the cup full, even before it melted. I'd recommend eating your burgers fresh, and while there's limited seating here (even on the second floor), you can bring your food across the street to one of the many benches at the Museum of Natural History on a nice day. The burgers are decent enough but the quality and quantity has definitely gone downhill from when I enjoyed my first Shake Shack. If anything, I'd recommend the Shack Stack for a spicy burger, or the Shroom Burger. The Korean-style fries and burger are sold here for a limited time and they aren't bad either.

I'm always a fan of Shake Shack. The food is pretty reliably good. This visit was no different. The only issues at this location was some of their communication/signs. They have a giant neon sign that has an arrow pointing people to pick up orders at one counter, but I watched as they told every person who came up to the counter to do that to go to a different counter for a pickup. On top of that, they were sold out of things without anything being marked as such on any menus or signs. Outside of those frustrations, the food was good, and even though it was packed, there was still quite a bit of seating here. Definitely give the Korean chicken sandwich while it's being served. It's pretty fantastic.

On the way to a basketball game at MSG, my husband and I realized - we need food!…read more Didn't have a plan in mind, but Emperor Dumpling caught our eye as we walked by (looked clean, smelled good, and it wasn't crowded so hopefully we could get in and out quickly). I was happy to see certain items on the menu were designated as vegetarian. If I lived in town I would come back and try all their veggie friendly options. The small order of veg dumplings was a very reasonable price and portion. I thought they were well stuffed with veggies. I was a little disappointed with the dumpling wrapper- i prefer a lighter softer wrapper. But overall I still ate it all, and it was a quick nice snack. My husband really enjoyed his orange chicken with rice and veggies. It was a huge portion- he was only able to eat half of it. Great value.

We wanted something quick and saw this place had okay reviews, so we gave it a shot. We ordered the…read morechicken teriyaki, pork soup dumplings, and spring rolls. The pork soup dumplings arrived literally spilling pink/red liquid that looked like blood. My mother had never tried soup dumplings before, so we were hoping for a fun experience, but she immediately spit it out. I brought it back and showed the staff the uncooked pork and the blood/red liquid on the napkin. They simply re-steamed them and brought them back except now there was no soup left inside the dumplings at all. The chicken teriyaki was tough and chewy, almost like jerky, as if it had been overcooked on an extremely hot grill or deep fried too long. The spring rolls were mediocre at best, with vegetables inside that had a mushy, paste-like texture. Very disappointing. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the rice. Do yourself a favor and skip this place.

Don't let the small burger fool you, it's definitely heart. The burger has onions smashed in them and the patty is so juicy. A double cheeseburger burger for $9.50? In New York City none the less.

This time at the Times Square location after seeing Oh! Mary. Classic cheese smashburgers paired with Mexican Cokes. It's easily one of the better smashburgers around--juicy patty, delicious sauce, grilled onions, pickles and a soft bun. The burgers are on the smaller side (not White Castle small, but my daughter usually eats two!), but at $6.50 for a single patty cheeseburger, it's a OK value. Don't skip the fries--they are crispy, delicious, and a generous portion for the price. Quick, easy, and fast! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and easygoing. One small snag at this location. My daughter requested, "no pickles." There were pickles in her burger. No biggie. She simply took them out and gave them to me. This location's supervisor overheard us. He apologized. We told him it was ok. No big deal. He didn't accept that. While we appreciated his standards, we felt put on the spot as much as his crew did. We felt bad for the cashier and made sure we told him we were sorry for how things went down. None of it was needed nor justified. Hence, the 4 out of 5 stars! Fast-casual vibe that feels a bit more low-key than standard fast-food joints. At this location there's a few booths, but they are usually occupied. We had to wait a few minutes until people left to get seats. 7th Street always hits!

We hopped in line but waited less than a minute because the service was incredibly fast. I managed to snatch a table within 30 seconds, and my husband got our food in less than two minutes.

The food was actually really good--we got the chicken sandwich, which features three chicken tenders with lettuce and their special sauce, served with french fries and a Coke. Everything was delicious and very well priced. Getting a seat and having such quick service made everything work out perfectly. I also loved the ambiance of the store, they play cool music and the decor is great, especially the disco balls! Después de un concierto en el Prudential Center, regresamos a Penn Station y estábamos hambrientos. ¡Por suerte, este lugar estaba justo enfrente de la estación del LIRR! Hicimos fila pero esperamos menos de un minuto porque el servicio fue increíblemente rápido. Logré conseguir una mesa en 30 segundos y mi esposo trajo la comida en menos de dos minutos. ¡El servicio fue fantástico! La comida estuvo riquísima; pedimos el sándwich de pollo, que viene con tres 'chicken tenders' (tiras de pollo), lechuga y su salsa especial, acompañado de papas fritas y una Coca-Cola. Todo estuvo delicioso y a muy buen precio. El haber conseguido mesa y que nos sirvieran tan rápido hizo que todo saliera perfecto. También me encantó el ambiente del lugar; ponen música genial y está muy bien decorado, ¡me gustaron mucho las esferas de disco!

I ordered the three finger combo. What came out was just plain sad looking. Tiny chicken fingers, barely cooked fries. The Raising Cane's sauce was good but the vessels to that sauce were so lacking. The breading on these chicken fingers was nothing special and again, so so small. Service was fast at least, but the place itself was dirty and virtually every table needed a wipe down. I know, I know, it's Penn Station, it's supposed to be a little grimy. Honestly, if these chicken fingers weren't so tiny and my fries were properly cooked I could deal with a little grime.

A classic NYC hole-in-the-wall, this place is almost designed to be missed. Blink, check your phone, or dodge one too many pedestrians, and you've walked right past it. Try not to, it's worth the stop. Pricing sits a little on the higher side for a combo, but let's be honest - this is New York. The burgers are bold, satisfying, and built to impress. I went for the chicken and veggie sandwiches, both dressed with a mango lime sauce that genuinely were very flavorful. The tomato aioli on the side was another win. And the fries? Crispy, golden, and dusted with a Cajun-meets-Indian spice blend that somehow makes complete sense and zero sense at the same time - in the best way.

That soda hits way harder than a Coke--sharp, spicy, and high voltage. ​Shoutout to Eric for holding it down and helping me navigate the spice.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 9 Overall: 9 I am not an expert in West African cuisine, but all I can say about the food here is, "Holy shit! It's good!" The setup inside this dimly lit restaurant had a bunch of steam tables offering various beef and chicken dishes, a handful of rice options, and a bunch of salads/fruits. Having no idea what we were looking at, we asked the friendly owner for some advice. After some contemplation, two of us made a plate with all beef over some jollof rice, and another with basically all chicken items over a different type of flavorful rice. We knew it was too much, but our goal was to figure out what we would come back for. Honestly, I did not enjoy most of the chicken because it's sitting in steam trays getting overcooked. Not saying they were terrible, but it all fails in comparison to all the great beef offerings. OMG! You really can't go wrong with any of the beef dishes. My cuisine rating is really based on the various beef items, the yummy veggies, and both amazing rice. The current price is $10.99 per pound regardless what you fill your box with, except a couple of items. We filled our two boxes with about 4lbs of food.
