    Nice, but I prefer the greasy Five Guys burger better

    Long queue, but we kept moving. Fries were really nice but I wasn't too impressed with the burger. Not worth the price and could have been a bit warmer. Glad I went once but wouldn't queue again

    Pretty rubbish really. Got a double shack burger, fries and strawberry shake. Prices ridiculously high for what you get. Burgers very basic, only special if you've never eaten anything but McDonald's.

    For all the hype it is just a glorified MacDonalds... Just with more grease and less atmosphere

    This place used to be great on the many times I went previously. This time it took 20 mins to wait after placing order, the burger looked pathetic and the chips were cold. Also wasn't any ketchup.

    Burger is tasty but too small for the price. Try gbk or byron if really hungry.

    Shakes great, burgers ok, fries not so good. Personally preferred nearby Five Guys

    If you're waiting more than ten minutes after ordering ask for assistance as their buzzer system is a bit unreliable.

    The burgers are just ok. Nothing special for that kind of waiting and price. Gets really busy on weekends.

    Not bad, but overrated. Not as good as Five Guys (nearby) and miles away from Meat Market (very close). Worth a try, but that's it.

    The shakes are amazing, but the burgers, whilst nice are small and overpriced - Five Guys is a far better choice.

    Not that great really. I remember it being amazing in NYC, this London branch was only that much better than a McDonald's

    Too fast-food-ey for my liking. Byron is better quality, more comfy, has metal cutlery & fries are waaaay better. Also, they don't come inundated with cheese... Not impressed considering all the hype!

    Overhyped... Sloppy greasy burgers, cheese sauce on fries is horrible £26 for 2 burgers and a drink!! Just go Byron proper sized burger proper meat! 5/10 for Shake Shack

    It's getting worse every time I come here. I used to be such a fan, but it's become a disgrace. McDonalds' Hamburger is probably the worst, but the dry, bland Smokeshack is very close, sadly.

    Burgers are... okay, but not the best in town. Don't get a double - too greasy. The fries and shakes are worth the trip though.

    Decent burger but not quite New York and doesn't quite match; Honest, Dirty, Bleecker etc. more posh Maccie Ds. Awesome though

    Smoke shack is pretty tasty, single is enough, tho the bun is disappointing (too soggy). People hyped about the fries but they were not crispy- disappointing!
