Good fast food burger, cooked medium, crunchy toppings. Soft and sweet bun (I'd prefer a bit of crunch!) crinkle cut cheesy fries a winner.

If you want a taste of New York, you will find here one of the best burger in London! / Shake Shack vous donne un avant-goût new-yorkais en plein cœur de Londres.

Burgers were OK, I still prefer a Patty & Bun or Byron , Maybe on par with GBP. Still it's a lovely place to sit and eat in Covent Garden.

Ignore your friends who call it a different McDonald's. Avoid the Single, go Double of anything. Fries/chips are okay but the hand-spun Shakes are what make it.

The taste is good. But there's long queues and there's pigeons flying and messing around inside.

The ale served is made by Brooklyn Brewery and is perfect with the burgers and cheese fries.

Just order the shroom burguer, you wont regret it! One of the best burguers I've ever had!
John GibbonsAugust 13, 2013
The queue moves pretty quickly. You are just queuing up to order at a counter and then you get your food on the other side.

Cheese Fries were amazing, but what makes the burger different than any other is the potato bun. Delishh!
Karthik DeivarayanJuly 22, 2013
It's a shame there isn't a chicken burger and the only vegetarian option is mushroom ... The coffee shake and fe cheese fries are definitely worth a shot ..

Fresh and clean burgers, crunchy crinkle cut fries. The shack stack is especially beautiful.
Katie ReynoldsSeptember 21, 2013
Excellent and efficient service. A rare find in London. Good burgers and fries too!
John PNovember 25, 2014
Great burgers but a bit small, the ice tea/lemonade combination they offer is lovely.

Get the cheese fries! Also the Shack Stack has become my go to burger here.

Very nice burger. Always overcrowded veneue. Worth to wait a little bit
Aris GalatisJune 20, 2016
Overhyped. Paying 30+£ for 2 (SMALL) burgers, 2 fries, 1 beer, 1 single lemonade and 1 concrete Hugely overvalued. Burger itself was mediocre. Prepare for rather long queues.

One of the better ones in the area, thank goodness for Shake Shack
Phil ClampSeptember 2, 2014
Get a malted milkshake! I love the vanilla but it always makes me feel a bit sick. Totally worth it though.

First shake shack outside of the US that I tried. This does not compare to the NY shake shack, but it's still good
Tom LiemAugust 5, 2015
Smokeshack is the only thing I can justify at these prices. It was pretty good. The plain cheeseburger is better and cheaper at Five guys!
Roisin HanrattyMarch 6, 2015
Really tasty burgers and cheese fries are delicious
Kanin S.August 7, 2014
The portobello mushroom burger is a must! Don't forget a side of cheesy fries.
OdoNovember 29, 2013
American style burger 101. Nice burgers, really a Manhattan deja vu. Mental queues. Full review... Read more

The Shack burger is pretty good but nothing mind blowing. The shakes are awesome.
VeronicaSeptember 27, 2014
Best angus Burger ever!and the fries with cheddar are delicious!!!
Melissa PoonApril 10, 2015
HAVE TO TRY THEIR PORTOBELLO BURGER AND MILKSHAKE!!!! 👍👍👍
Stuart CruickshankJuly 29, 2013
What's the fuss all about? So many better burger joints in London than this place, which is essentially a more expensive version of Burger King. Upgrade yourself to Byron at those prices.
Alan BoughenJuly 16, 2013
Pretty close to emulating the NYC original. SmokeShack burger & Concrete Jungle custard both very good. Cheese fries very disappointing. Honestly for the money you're better off going to Byron.
【 @tin_fish 】August 25, 2014
better than a lot of these new genre burger bars. you might struggle for a seat though.
Anastasios DagkosApril 29, 2016
I was queuing for minutes and once I've placed my order they told me that they don't accept credit cards. Awesome job guys
David Roca @daroitApril 19, 2015
Ask for the fries cheese sauce on the side, you'll then get a bigger serving

Yummiest burger ever❤❤❤❤
Matt TaylorApril 24, 2016
The classic Shakeshack Burger and the cheese fries are great
BlondieOctober 25, 2013
Awesome fries. Asked a sale assistant if they have gluten free - said yes. After standing 30 min in a line they said that actually they dont have. Shame.
Vincenzo D'AmoreSeptember 7, 2015
Burgers and fries are okay. But everything is ridiculously expensive and food is definitely less tasty than what I remember from NY
Alexandre BourgeoisAugust 28, 2014
Pricy but extremely tasty. Go for a double Shakeshack burger for a proper feast!
Martin JonassonMay 10, 2018
Amazing ans clean burgers in a great setting.
Natalia Rodríguez NovásJanuary 3, 2015
Tasty and affordable burgers and milkshakes :) It's worth the wait!

Burgers are smaller compared to GBK, but taste good, fries were good, milkshake decent. Worth a one time visit Atleast

Cheese fries and milkshake was amazing, burgers are good too
Maria BaronskiAugust 25, 2014
Good shake shack burger, but unfortunately not as good as in the US. Special sauce is not spicy at all. Great smoked meat though.
raquel loboFebruary 25, 2015
Delicious american style burger, fries, shakes...
Heidi RiderOctober 7, 2018
First time eating here and feeling a bit sad that this is a place people love as I just didn’t think these burgers and fries were anything special
David AitkenJanuary 24, 2015
Best fast food burger I've had. Crinkle cut fries were amazing!

Remember the Big Kahuna Burger from Pulp Fiction? That's exactly what you get here.
