Malek AlmutairiOctober 4, 2016Great burger but not worth the investment required. These burgers are goos even great but if you need to sell a kin-deny to pay for a burger it's all wrong.
TeeOctober 20, 2014Fresh and clean burgers, crunchy crinkle cut fries. The shack stack is especially beautiful.
DatJune 9, 2015Even across the pond, across the sands of time, the burger holds up. Great outdoor scene too
Dave MassNovember 25, 2013You need a good 20 minutes to get your food. This doesn't pretend to be fast food. The frozen custard is excellent and the burgers tasty. Little Expensive but it IS Covent Garden.
Anna CaldasOctober 4, 2013Just order the shroom burguer, you wont regret it! One of the best burguers I've ever had!
- Phil ClampSeptember 2, 2014Get a malted milkshake! I love the vanilla but it always makes me feel a bit sick. Totally worth it though.
John GibbonsAugust 13, 2013A single is small by comparison to other burger places (GBK, Five Guys, Byron, Honest, Patty&Bun, Kua Aina). Could call these "sliders". Could also call these not as good as any of those others.
The ale served is made by Brooklyn Brewery and is perfect with the burgers and cheese fries.
Katie ReynoldsSeptember 21, 2013Excellent and efficient service. A rare find in London. Good burgers and fries too!
Victor ChuOctober 4, 2019The taste is good. But there's long queues and there's pigeons flying and messing around inside.
Karl BriscoeNovember 7, 2014Burgers 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.
Alistair MayorAugust 8, 2013Cheese Fries were amazing, but what makes the burger different than any other is the potato bun. Delishh!
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.
Kanin S.August 7, 2014The portobello mushroom burger is a must! Don't forget a side of cheesy fries.
Mike BodenJanuary 14, 2015Order a double size if you have an appetite. Avoid the cheese fries, they are not like the ones in the USA, which are great.
John PNovember 25, 2014Great burgers but a bit small, the ice tea/lemonade combination they offer is lovely.
Karthik DeivarayanJuly 22, 2013It'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 ..- Tom LiemAugust 5, 2015Smokeshack is the only thing I can justify at these prices. It was pretty good. The plain cheeseburger is better and cheaper at Five guys!
nigeAugust 4, 2013Remember the Big Kahuna Burger from Pulp Fiction? That's exactly what you get here.
Aicha Le blog de KatApril 7, 2014Simple but tasty burgers. Love it. Too bad we don't have any Shake Shack in Paris!
Natalia Rodríguez NovásJanuary 3, 2015Tasty and affordable burgers and milkshakes :) It's worth the wait!
Jon ChooJuly 10, 2013The Shack burger is pretty good but nothing mind blowing. The shakes are awesome.
Get the cheese fries! Also the Shack Stack has become my go to burger here.
Please meet the first ever European produced Shake Shack :D best burger ever!
- John GibbonsAugust 13, 2013The queue moves pretty quickly. You are just queuing up to order at a counter and then you get your food on the other side.
Alexandre BourgeoisAugust 28, 2014Pricy but extremely tasty. Go for a double Shakeshack burger for a proper feast!
- Alan BoughenJuly 16, 2013Pretty 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.
Everything I hoped it would be. The Smoke Shack burger is amazing.
【 @tin_fish 】August 25, 2014better than a lot of these new genre burger bars. you might struggle for a seat though.
Vincenzo D'AmoreSeptember 7, 2015Burgers and fries are okay. But everything is ridiculously expensive and food is definitely less tasty than what I remember from NY
Anastasios DagkosApril 29, 2016I was queuing for minutes and once I've placed my order they told me that they don't accept credit cards. Awesome job guys
Heidi RiderOctober 7, 2018First 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
