This popular burger joint is a rainy day fave for me, if I'm working in the neighborhood. Rainy day = shorter line. The food is good, but not so good that I would stand in line for an hour.
I like the 'shroom burger, a pair of grilled portobellos fused together with an abundance of melted cheese, topped with lettuce and tomato on a fresh, good-quality bun. It's always a bit of a surprise to bite into the crisp and juicy 'shrooms and discover the creamy muenster and sharp cheddar center.
The fries are excellent, they taste as if they've never seen the inside of a freezer. The cheeseburger is good, but not my first choice. I wouldn't stand in line for it.
Even when there's no queue, the Shake Shack isn't fast food -- everything is prepared to order so it can take 15 minutes for your meal to come out.
Eating at the nearby tables or benches in Madison Square Park is remarkably pleasant. Or get the food to go, eat at your desk and risk the envy of everyone else in the office.
Get there early to avoid the wait, or keep an eye on the website's Shack Cam.
