I'd never had the bacon cheese fries before, and they definitely didn't disappoint. The fries were hot, perfectly crispy, and paired beautifully with the rich, creamy melted cheese and smoky bacon. They were easily the highlight of the meal. The staff was also incredibly friendly, which always makes the experience better when you're traveling. Next time, I'll definitely be back to try one of their burgers alongside another order of those fantastic bacon cheese fries. A great stop if you're looking for a satisfying meal before your flight.

From past bad experiences with burgers and product quality issues in many different airport restaurants, I normally don't order burgers because they are always cold, dry, tasteless, and downright horrible. But this burger from Shake Shack was surprisingly very good. I ordered from the self-serving kiosk and the wait time for my order was about 5 minutes. The entire restaurant including the counter area, dining area, and even the condiments station was all very clean and inviting. I ordered the Double Shack Burger made with two smashed angus beef patties, American cheese, and topped with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and Shack Sauce on a toasted potato bun, an order of fries and a 20 oz bottled drink for $24.79. A little step, but of course, all menu items are à la carte, and this is airport dining. The bun was fresh soft, and lightly toasted. The burger patties were nicely smashed, hot, juicy, the cheese melted and all the condiments were fresh, cool, and bright. This burger was prepared with care and assembled beautifully to create the perfect burger. The crinkle cut fries were perfectly cooked, lightly salted, and golden brown. This was by far the BEST airport burger and fries I have ever eaten. Date of Visit: Saturday 05-03-26 Shake Shack | Newark Liberty International Airport | Terminal A

I was hungry and ready to stress eat because today was exhausting. My friend asked our shuttle driver for a local spot before we go back to the hotel. He took us here and I noticed that they had a line on the inside so I JUST KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE GOOD!! We got in, clean place, waited a few minutes, my crew and I (4 of us) ordered and the guy who took our order REMEMBERED what we said and spoke it back to the cooks. Impressive to say the least. Let's talk about the food... 4 wings: DELICIOUS (made with love) fries - didn't like so much. If they were fat fries, perfect but they were thin. Did have an option for wedge except I don't like wedge. I also got a small pack of juicy watermelon. Overall experience 100/10. Love seeing Persian people in NJ. Y'all are amazing.

I ordered the Bacon Breakfast Burrito, and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because my burrito was SKINNY. I've gotten this burrito before at other franchises, and they were more stuffed than this one. Heads-up: most airport businesses attach a 3% Employee Retention Benefits (whatever that means). You cannot opt-out. Overall, service was fast and efficient, but food was lacking a certain control of quality. 4 out of 5!

Major Safety Violation - Customers Locked Inside…read more My two friends and I had a deeply unsettling experience at this location on Friday, 3/20. We were dining 30 minutes before the 9:00 PM closing time when the staff locked the front doors. We did not realize we were trapped until we tried to leave at 9:02 PM and found the doors dead-locked. All three employees had moved to the back of the restaurant, leaving us alone in the front with no way to exit the building. We had to wait for an employee to eventually come out and unlock the door to let us out. Being physically confined in a building against our will was a terrifying experience that felt immediately threatening. We did not feel safe again until we were finally out of the building and in the safety of our car. Locking customers in is a major fire code violation and a massive failure in management. We have reported this to the Elizabeth Fire Marshal and Teriyaki Madness Corporate. We will not be returning.
