We ate here on Sunday for the first time and there was a minimal wait. The hamburgers though on the small side are much better than Five Guys, as is the service. We had our 2 year old son and our big dog with us – a Shake Shack employee immediately came outside offering to help us with pulling an extra table over, offered and brought a cup of water for the our dog. He and another co-worker at various times checked back to see if we needed anything and even brought us additional water for my wife and I and our dog. Five Guys service although minimally pleasant – doesn’t come close.

Not worth the wait. Real NY’ers laugh at this shit. I don’t wait in line for food that’s merely above average, and that’s as high as a fast food burger gets – above average. I’ll wait for Capogiro, Village Whiskey, or a table at Alla Spina. I do not wait for fast food. It’s unbecoming.

The hot dog is good.

So everyone’s pretty much annoyed at the long lines at Shake Shack? Here’s a real quick way to drop the wait time: The better burger, fries, and ENTIRE package is across the street at Village Whiskey…. just saying!

I agree about Village Whiskey.. but there is no guarantee you will not have to wait at VW, especially in the winter. That restaurant is the size of a postage stamp..
