Delish!
Food is sooo good. Fries burgers shake, kind of have a old school taste to them. Nice and simple. Very affordable. If you work in the area, this is a place you might want to check out but make sure you have a hour lunch to use. Lines can get kind of ridiculous. Park scenery is pretty cool and unique.

Loveshack...
Last year, and I plan to go back this year to get it they had a really really yummy pumpkin pie version of the concreation. A definite calorie splurge in my book.

So Yum
This place is classic. The burgers are delicious and the park is beautiful. The only drawback is the ridiculous line.

Way overrated
Don't really know why this is so popular. The best part of the burger are the buns (it really is the perfect burger bun) and the cheese (nice and gooey). The meat is fatty and salty. The hot dogs are substandard (my Chicago Dog was cold). Would be acceptable if there was no wait, but there always is one.

Decent burgers in a nice park
A bit much to pay for a mid-range burger. But the atmosphere of Madison Square Park (one of my favorites) makes up for the price tag. The burgers are small, but tasty; get two or pair it up with a shake. (avoid the fries, read below to find out why) If you're vegetarian or want to try something different, the mushroom burger is highly recommended. Despite the long lines, service has always been friendly and prompt.

Overrated. X Marks the Shack
The best part of the "Shake Shack" is the park atmosphere! The burgers are dull and flat...small for the price, and the fries are basic at best..!! The shakes were ok but not the best . Overall I would rate the shack F ......for failing to make the mark. If you are visting NYC...Do yourself a favor ..(take a short tript o Astoria blvd).. Take the train or a taxi to a Greek diner in Astoria Queens.There you will find the best.. shakes and burgers in NYC......and some movie history.

Highly overrated
I am not one to go online to evaluate restaurants but I am simply tired of reading the raving reviews for the Shake Shack. In my opinion, this shack is overrated and gets publicity mainly because it is owned by a well known restauranteur who owns several restros in NY and around Mad Sq Park. The crowd around the Shack is pretentious. The lines are ridiculously long. The burgers are mediocre at best. I have tried several "dishes" here and--honestly--they are basically decent, nothing special, even less then special. The lemonade tastes like a mix I could have made at home for a fraction of the price; the fries were soggy and bland. Other restros do it better, for less and without all the pretention or press.
