Shake Shack

First off let me warn you — Las Vegas prices are $$$ and Shake Shack is definitely one of those places that’re overpriced. But that doesn’t mean the food wasn’t good! It was great! I got the Smokestack — and it was perfect, chilies and all! The fries aren’t usually the type I’d go for but they came crispy so I was happy.
I ended up going back in the long queue (which moves pretty quickly) and getting a milkshake (vanilla). The small one is small, so if you’re looking to share maybe get a larger one. The shakes are super thick so it’s great if you’re into frozen custard.

I had heard a lot of positive things about this restaurant, especially the frozen custard. The custard is indeed fantastic. I would recommend anyone walking along the Las Vegas strip stop by and try the custard.
However, the burgers were a bit of a let down, especially considering the long lines. I’ve tried a lot of different burger places in this town, and there are plenty of better options. This particular location is near the New York New York hotel and casino, but there are a number of better burger places in that same area.

Small sized portions compared to a lot of food served along the strip.
I can’t complain too much because we had really good service after they had to change out the keg for the beer we ordered. They made sure we knew what the hold up was and gave us a beer to enjoy while waiting for the one they had to change out. The server personally delivered to our table even though people are suppose to pick up their order from the counter themselves.
Thanks for the great service!

Disappointment.
I remember when Shake Shack first opened and everyone was super super excited. I made sure I came in to try this place out (if you know me, you know my obsession of burgers). The whole interior and exterior design is beautiful. You seriously cannot miss it. The restaurant front is right on the Strip at New York New York. The signage is huge and clear with their outside patio area. Then you get in and everything is super modernized and very attractive.
Anyway, many people compare Shake Shack with In-​N-​Out (Shake Shack being the East Coast burger joint, and In N Out being the west side’s). First off… 1. In n Out prices are way more affordable. Shake Shake’s prices are pretty high for practically mini burgers, and the fries come with so little as well. The size and price dont match up. 2. In n Out’s simplicity and their signature sauce is just so original and yummy, Shake Shack is okay… and really salty if you ask me.
I dont know, MY OPINION: not a huge fan of Shake Shack. Maybe I came on a bad day and need to give it another try, but as for my first impression, ehhh ill stick to In N Out — the west coast original!

Looked at allllll (most) of the pics on Unilocal and I knew I had to come here!!!
We wandered here at 10am on Sunday (yes I wanted a heart attack for breakfast)… we killed 45mins exploring mgm and nyny… anxiously awaiting the 11am opening!
When we returned ppl started piling up, waiting to come in… the nice staff opened up the doors for us at 10:55.
We didn’t have a wait to order — staff was super friendly.
We ordered: 2 shake stacks, 2 fries, 2 crispy chicken sandwiches, jackpot concrete
That shake stack (deep fried portobello shroom stuffed with cheese atop a fresh burger with cheese) = I NEED THIS…
Wasn’t impressed (I’ve had my fill of burgers on this trip and I was hoping to add this to my list of things I’d be craving)… kinda made me feel a bit sick (way too much cheese — and I freakin love cheese).
Concrete… Again wasn’t blown away
Crispy Chicken with extra buttermilk herb mayo… HANDS DOWN BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH… Perfectly crisp, all white breast, fresh pickles and lettuce… and that mayo — delish!!!
Id come back just for the chicken! :)

The Hype is real
Some compare this to In-​N-​Out, but lets just enjoy the burger without all the comparisons. (Because I live for In-​N-​Out).
I’ve had the Shake stack and the shack burger, both were great burgers.
I really liked the Crisp-​fried Portobello shroom inside the Shake Stake, which gives it that extra flavor.
Cheese fries is a must!
The price is a bit high, but it’s worth it.
Wait time WILL be long during lunch hours, so get there a bit earlier

SHAKE STACK. That’s all you need to know. It is a cheeseburger combined with the ‘Shroom Burger. What is the ‘Shroom Burger you ask? Well it is a beautiful creation of a breaded and fried portobello mushroom filled with gooey melted muenster and cheddar cheeses. The patty was perfectly cooked and juicy without getting the bun soggy and the inclusion of the muenster cheese added a nice bit of sharpness. If double cheese isn’t enough for you be sure to add an order of the crinkle cut Cheese Fries. Indulge your sweet tooth with frozen custards, shakes and floats. This is an order at the counter and seat yourself type of place, and due to its popularity the line can get long but its so worth it.

We wandered over to Shake Shack after watching a show across the street from the NYNY hotel. The restaurant is located on the ground level. Luckily, there wasn’t a line at 9:30 pm. The menu is quite large and it can be hard to choose from all the goodies. I ordered a single ShackBurger and a small Abita root beer. After paying, I was handed a pager and we went to secure a table. The only table available was close to the entrance where the cold wind would blow in as people came and went.
After a short wait, our food was ready for pick up at the counter. The burger was delicious. Each bite was better than the last. The ShackSauce was savory with an umami note. The Abita root beer was really tasty. It’s made with Louisiana cane sugar and spring water in Louisiana. I would try other items on the menu next time I get to visit but since we had eaten earlier in the evening, I only wanted a late night snack. Shake Shack is the real deal.

Okay, I was hesitant to give 5 stars because giving 5 stars is rare for me. And maybe it could be just from the excitement of finally getting to try this place, but there it is. I’ve only had this place once and I’ll have to wait until the one in LA opens to try it again, but my first experience at this location was so good. Had to stop by when we were in Vegas. I’ve heard so much about this place and just had to judge for myself.
Along with burgers, they also serve hot dogs, frozen custards, and alcohol!
Came in on a weekday afternoon. There was a bit of a line, but it went super fast! We ordered the Shack burger, Shack Stack burger, fries, 50/​50, and mango lemonade. I gobbled up my Shack burger quickly, it was so good. I liked the soft hamburger bun and juicy cheesy patty. I’m not a fan of mushrooms, but I did have a bite of the Shack Stack and liked it! I especially loved the tasty muenster cheese, I started dipping my fries in it when I got the chance ;] The crinkle cut fries were crispy and delicious. I will for sure try the cheese fries next time.
The woman who took our order was really friendly. She noticed my boyfriend’s taiko jacket and started small talk about taiko :) Also, somebody came around to ask customers if they needed anything.
Can’t wait for the LA location to open.

I’m sad. It was just okay. I believed in the hype and kinda left feeling… Meh.
The husband visited a SS location in Pennsylvania recently and gave me the skinny on the set up. He said the fries were the winner and that I would appreciate the crispness. He also predicted that I would like the bread, claiming it tastes like sweet Asian bread.
We were in town for Halloween weekend and decided to walk to New York New York to have lunch at Shake Shack from the Palazzo. Working up the appetite while being 7 months pregnant, we decided to split a burger and fries while I topped the meal off with a shake and the husband ordered a brew. The black and white shake was nothing to write home about. The burger itself reminded me of a cross between Smashburger and Hopdoddy’s. The patty is thin with crispy edges. The bread is not your average bun, but it also didn’t really stand out to me. Overall, it’s the same size as an In and Out burg. Those crinkle cut fries though.
Damn.
Very crispy. I never knew crinkles could taste this good! Guy’s burger place at The Linq are pretty similar– though the difference is you get a mix of different type of fries at his place.
Either way… I would come back to give them another try, but my first impression is a double shoulder shrug, sorry.

The burgers are good here. The service is great and I’d highly recommend the strawberry shake and cheese fries (of course, to share!).

Um, can someone say best burgers ever? I think I have found my new favorite burger joint but it’s all the way in Las Vegas! There’s nothing like this place in California. The burgers are definitely better than the ones at In-​N-​Out!
My husband and I shared a burger, fries, and salted caramel hot chocolate and were very pleased with our purchase! The burger tasted super fresh and we gobbled it up in a matter of seconds because it was so good! The fires were equally as delicious and has become my husband’s favorite fries!
Unfortunately, we did not have a shake so I cannot comment on the shakes but I highly recommend you stop by for a burger lunch meal!

This was my second time having Shake Shack. The first was in NYC three years ago and I still remember how good it was. So this was my place to hit up in Vegas this time, since the last two trip we came up short. I might have to give Shake Shack a slight edge over IN & Out burgers due to the fact that their burgers patties are more juicy and well season then IN &Out and plus they serve «BEER».
What was ordered:
Shack Stack Burger: Cheeseburger w/​Shroom Burger lettuce and tomato and Shacksauce. Man what a great combination. The patty was perfectly cook and season and the portobello was battered and fried to perfection. For $ 9 yes it pretty pricey, but it’s good.
Shack Burger: Cheeseburger w /​Lettuce and Tomato and Shacksauce. Delicious!
Fries: This was ok. IN&OUT fries are still better and made fresh.
Yeah I’m definitely a fan of Shake Shack and can’t wait until they open up one down here in southern California soon.

This place is the new hype in Vegas so we knew it was a must on our trip.
We got there early on a Saturday afternoon. The line was not too bad, about an 15 – 20 minute wait. You must order first and they will call you when your order is ready.
I decided to go with hamburger with lettuce, pickles and onion with shacksauce. I thought my burger was delicious. I thought it was better than in n out cause of the bread they use. The bread was nice and soft and it soak up the juice perfectly. I could eat this burger forever.
I also got an order of crinkle cut cheese fries and jackpot concretes. I thought the two didn’t live up to the hype.
Shake shack is a little bit more expensive than the fast burger joint here. I would skip the sides and just get the burgers time and time again.

I’ve heard the legends about this place and I’ve seen the pics of it about 1000 times on my snapchat and Instagram. When I came to Vegas with my friends we made sure to make this the first place we eat when we landed. It’s at the beginning of the strip and we stayed at treasure island. If your familiar with the strip, you’d know it’s on opposite ends. It was about a 30 minute walk just b/​c there’s so many people and it’s not a straight walk. We were also really hungry so the walk seemed even longer. Shake Shack is located at NY NY and has a restaurant front you can’t miss. You fall in line to take your order and then they give you a pager while you wait. There’s a ton of seating both inside and outside that it’s never really a problem. Their restaurant is so cute. I really enjoyed the retro look to it.
Their menu has a lot of options. They gave different burger variations, chicken sandwiches, crinkle cut fries and many different shake/​custard/​malt options. I ordered the trailer burger (burger with grilled onions and bacon) and a side of fries. Their burgers don’t come with a side of fries. I only wish I ordered a milkshake, but my friend ended up not finishing hers so I finished her strawberry milkshake and it was delicious. Their burger and fries were so good. Best way I can describe it is that it’s a higher quality innout burger. I think it’s better than innout. It is pretty pricey though. My burger and fries were about $ 13. But you get what you pay for right? It was cooked perfectly and it was so good. At first it doesn’t look that filling but I was so full afterwards. My boyfriend and guy friends were still hungry afterward words though and they ordered doubles.
Overall, great burger place. More expensive, but way worth it with the quality. I will be eating here everytime I’m in Vegas.

BUUURGGGGERSSSS + SHAAAAAAAAAAAAKES. Let’s do this! You really can’t miss this place as it’s a great iconic place located on The Strip now right next to New York-​New York and Monte Carlo.
This always happens to be our first stop when we arrive at Vegas. Most likely because we tend to arrive around lunch time and this is such a great, quick stop.
The line goes by soooo fast! Most of the time, I don’t have enough time to make up my mind whilst I stare at the huge menu of options. Burgers, shakes, hot dogs, what’s not to get?!
FAVS:
— Shack Stack: SO GOOD. Cheeseburger and a ‘Shroom Burger topped with lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce. The fried mushroom does it for me (for a vegetarian option of the same thing: try the ‘Shroom Burger).
— Cheese Fries: All the cheesy goodness! One order is good to share for 2 – 5 people (depending on how much everyone eats).
— Frozen Custard or Concrete: If it’s your first time, definitely try one! I personally prefer the Concrete (it’s basically like a mix-​up of everything you like + frozen custard!)
I think the brioche bun gets me every time on those burgers. They give it a little oomph! Will definitely be back. Cheers!

The westernmost outpost of the Danny Meyer burger empire is located in Vegas, most befittingly in an outdoor courtyard of the New York-​New York hotel/​casino. Considering how popular they are in the eastern half of the US it has generated a lot of buzz; it’s been on my Vegas bucket list ever since the opening was announced. A year later I got the opportunity to go as my sister had a Shake Shack craving.
CONCEPT: Fast-​casual burger chain with burgers priced between $ 5 and $ 10, along the lines of a Five Guys or Smashburger with the cult appeal approaching that of In-​N-​Out Burger. According to Shake Shack’s official website, the burgers are made with the following ingredients:
— 100% natural all-​Angus beef sourced with cows not fed with hormones or antibiotics. The meat is freshly ground.
— Fresh veggies — choose from a combo of lettuce, tomato, pickles or onions.
— The bun is a non-​GMO Martin’s Potato Roll.
The fries are of the frozen crinkle-​cut Yukon kind and the shakes are made from freshly spun frozen custard.
VENUE: Located *outside* the casino formerly the site of ESPN zone.
SERVICE: Counter service only. When my family went on New Years Day lunchtime we were in line for less than 5 minutes. This was considering that the line was outside. There was a slightly longer wait for our food to be ready.
Your meal is ready when your buzzer rings.
My first Shake Shack meal consisted of a Shack Stack burger (Cheeseburger and a ‘Shroom Burger topped with lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce) and their crinkle-​cut fries. I sipped a little bit of my sister’s shake as I wasn’t in the mood for a shake at the time.
— My sister says that it’s an East Coast thing for softer buns (dunno if this is true). I appreciated the softer, sweeter bun and it’s comparable to a perfectly toasted In-​N-​Out bun.
— Veggies were fresh.
— The portobello mushroom was freshly fried and I could hear the pop of the mushroom meat opening. The melted muenster cheese just made the mushroom burger just taste meatier.
— Burger patty was cooked to my liking. Cheeses made the burger slightly moist.
Crinkle fries were cooked consistently so all fries were crispy but they were a little on the plain side. The shake was also a little on the plain side but this was due to my sister’s preference. Next time I’ll get a different flavor shake and have it malted.
Though the prices reflect the Vegas standard (read: expensive!) the burger quality is worth a return visit. Though my preference still is a good In-​N-​Out burger more I can appreciate this burger for what it is and I understand why the East Coasters are up in arms about this chain. It certainly beats White Castle and Five Guys.

I love coming here. Shake Shack serves my favorite burgers and I can’t get them in California so whenever we come out to Vegas I make it a point to come here at least once. Their patties are never too greasy, buns are soft and lightly toasted, and the fixings are always fresh. People usually forget that Shake Shack started off as a hot dog stand but give the Shack-​cago Dog a try and you’ll realize that Shake Shack is more than just burgers and shakes. On that note, you have to order their crinkle cut fries too and if you like cheese, definitely add that cheese sauce. It’s straight up liquid crack, it’s so addictive!
The frozen custard is also ridiculously creamy and delicious. I just tried their holiday cookie flavor this week and it just might be my favorite yet, too bad it’s seasonal. Vanilla is usually my default when ordering.
The interior is spacious and even though in recent times I feel like Shake Shack is becoming insanely popular, the ordering line moves fast and usually a table will open up while you’re waiting for your food to be ready. It’s a surprisingly relaxing place to eat and the staff is always kind. Even though they close at midnight, they’ll accept orders right up to the last minute and they won’t kick you out if you happen to be inside still past midnight.

A Shake Shack in Vegas where I can relive my memories when I was visiting NYC last year? Count me in!
Their burgers and cheese fries are amazing. But it’s definitely a little pricey for a meal because you gotta buy everything separately but well worth every dollar.
I’ll be back.

Ate here at our first night in Vegas this past December and it was a great decision. Got a Shakeburger, fries and drinks for around $ 11. The burger was delicious! Every bite was great. It was juicy, well seasoned and topped with fresh ingredients. The fries were crispy, salty and hot. It was my first time at a Shake Shack and I really liked it.
Beware: if it’s a busy night there can be a bit of a wait but the line moves fast so just be patient. If you want a cheap meal then I definitely recommend you go to Shake Shack!

Il a fallu attendre d’être à Las Vegas pour manger un vrai bon burger ! Rien à redire.
Les frites son excellentes, la sauce aussi. Le goût y est !
Le service est rapide et le décor est vraiment sympa.
Je recommande sans hésitation !

Lanche famoso!!! A batata é fantástica !!! O lanche muito bom, porém lanche é pequeno!!!

Yes ! Le meilleur des hamburgers est à Las Vegas ! Après avoir trouvés ces restaurants sur New York il y a quelques années, nous sommes heureux de tomber à nouveau sur un shake shack. Rien a voir avec les autres chaînes de fast food, ici tout est bon (hamburgers, frites avec du fromages fondu …) dans des proportions raisonnables et le lieu est très sympa. Vite, vite, on y retourne !!! Un seul bémol pour celui-​ci: L’accueil.

Après avoir beaucoup entendu parler de ce restaurant j’ai pu enfin l’essayer à Las Vegas…
Le burger était splendide et joliment emballé! Et le goût…juste trop bon !!! Dommage qu’il né soit pas un peu plus gros peut être…mais bon les petits plaisirs sont les meilleurs…

Burgers simple ou double. Si vous avez très fin passez votre chemin ! Ou alors on en prend 2. Frites aux cheddar correctes. Limonade maison trop sucrée.
Ça manqué un peu de goût concernant le burger shake Shack. C’est un poil décevant car assez réputé… Mais c’est un burger correct qui se défend… C’est un peu le goûter pour les ricains. Après on doit sûrement aller dans un autre restau ;-)
A faire quand même en cas de petit creux. Endroit sympa.

Las hamburguesas bastante buenas, sin embargo un poco caras para el producto. Lo mejor del restaurant son las malteadas, en especial la All Shack, tiene un sabor a vainilla exquisito. Buena localización en medio del Hotel New York.
