Phil ShannonDecember 26, 2014I'm a huge fan of this chain. Some of the best burgers and fries you can find anywhere. And usually s decent selection of beer. I went at 11:30AM and there was a very short line.
The burgers and fries are your standard fare, but if you love cheese fries as much as I do, order them. The sauce is probably the best I've ever eaten.
Redeye ChicagoJanuary 22, 2015Fellow burger-loving friends, you will have a tough time finding a superior sub-$5 fast-food cheeseburger in Chicago than the one served here. I do proclaim this one of the city's greatest patties. Read more
Olli KMarch 23, 2015Oh man! Visited Chicago from Kansas City and loooooved this place. One of the best burger joints I've ever been to. Ask for extra sauce!
There's absolutely no reason to come here and get a single burger. Get the double shack burger and be taken into a euphoric state for 3-7 minutes. The amount of time it takes you to inhale it.- Hillman PhilistiaMay 10, 2015Get the double cheese burger. The menus is confusing as this place is known for their burger. Save your wallet and eyes some strain. Just get the burger. 2 singles or a double.
Add fried shallots to burgers or dogs for just $1. Worth it, trust me. The hot dog with shallots ($1 extra) and cheese sauce (.50 extra) can't be beat and fills you up.
David O'ConnellAugust 4, 2015I was in New York for theree weeks and the line at the Shake Shack was always too long. I was very excited to see one here in Chicago. The shakes and burgers are great. "Sha-cago dog" mmmmm- Christine BascoFebruary 25, 2015The Burgers just Melt in Your Mouth - A-Maz-ing ... I got the ShackMeister ... the Next Visit I will be getting the Smoke Shack ... the Cheese Fries are Delicious
TeresaOctober 4, 2015The burger and cheese fries are delicious! It is difficult to find a seat during lunch hour, so beware.
Meredith GoldbergFebruary 14, 2019Good tasting fair priced eats. They donate a portion of proceeds from certain menu items to the Greater Chicago Food Depositary so that rocks!
Jeremy NelsonJanuary 2, 2015The fries were on par with what I've had elsewhere, but the burger was really really good- you could tell they used fresh meat. The shake was the best I've had in years.
Feel like eating burger ? Then don't even think twice because Shake Shack is the burger place to be now that we have it in chi town . Best beef burgers .
Chris KempJuly 15, 2015The Shackmesiter. Fried Shallots might be the greatest burger topping ever, even better than bacon! (Yeah, I went there!)
Prince OnyeiseNovember 17, 2014If you don't mind the cost, try the shack stack burger it's good especially with bacon and cherry pepper aka the smokeshack stack
Marwan MzOctober 10, 2015The signature burger is the best and the their side by side shake is amazing
Jeff BeckJanuary 28, 2015Solid fries, though not unique. Burger was awesome. Portion sizes are smaller than most places, but it's still worth it
KaitlynNovember 25, 2014Burgers and fries are amazing!! Best fast food burger in Chicago. Malts are decent, not a big fan of the custard.
Esen AndiçMarch 20, 2015Taste is not incredible or unique but definitely above average. Especially great for having a quick bite before a long night :)
Heather MurrayMarch 17, 2015Super tasty (SmokeShack) but burgers are small for the price. Their custard is the stuff dreams are made of. Beer on tap.
Paige KaliskiAugust 27, 2015It's delicious but kind of tiny burgers - get the double if you want to really fill up. Also the custard is AMAZING
Greg WilcoxNovember 16, 2015Giving In-N-Out a run for its money. Fresh, flavorful, delicious burgers. Check it out!
Julio GarciaJanuary 9, 2015Delicious! The smokeshack burger had pickled cherry pepper and all natural applewood bacon
Adam VSeptember 10, 2016The cheeseburger is delicious and goes well with one of their shakes. Amazing all around.
Martín WankiewiczAugust 27, 2016This hamburguer is increible, the service is the best in the town, thank you very much
Karlton UhmAugust 3, 2015Burgers and shakes were delicious, but it was overhyped. Not the best burger I've ever had, but it was wonderful.
Erik MartensenJanuary 26, 2015It's expensive and parking sucks unless you either don't mind walking a lot, or paying 30 bucks. They don't validate parking in the garage next door. The portions are small, but the food is delicious.- Manoj AmbalavananFebruary 20, 2021Get the burger fries and shake for the perfect experience. The triple experience can’t be beat
- The fair trade shake is SUPER delicious, especially if you enjoy dark roast coffee.
Samantha RangelJanuary 27, 2015The prices are not exactly reasonable for what seems to just be a fast food joint but they've got flavor to somewhat back it up. Fries don't even need catsup.
Helen ParkJuly 26, 2015The portion may seem small but beware the food here is actually quite filling.
Tim PorterAugust 24, 2015Shroomburger was good, get it with a milkshake for an indulgence well worth it.- My dear baby lord, the oatmeal cream pie shake is divine.
Patrick LeMasterFebruary 12, 2015If it seems at all full, get your order to go. People like to hold the tables while others in their party order.
Kirstjen LorenzMarch 10, 2015Amazing? It's a fast food burger joint. Slightly different from McDonalds.
Dana JensenFebruary 21, 2015The "concrete" was delicious, but the burger was really kind of underwhelming. Very thin patty, not much sauce, and enh bun. Not worth the wait until the lines die down. Once they do, I'll go back.
John HankusMarch 24, 2015Way too much for a burger fries and shake. Almost $20. Place is always crowded so it is hard to find a seat. Plenty of other places that offer a better burger for less money.
Decent, tasty burgers but a bit overpriced. I think the hype this place drew did not live up to the expectations. I'm guessing they are a ton better in NYC.
LaToya JacksonAugust 14, 2015Hey Shake Shack, you should join Freebie! It’s pretty rad and the benefits are great for both you and me. Check it out!
