About
This Times Square Shake Shack stands out for its late-night hours, serving burgers and shakes until 3am every day. It's a fast-casual spot with a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight crowd, plus families, all grabbing made-to-order Angus beef burgers, crispy chicken, and hand-spun milkshakes. The vibe is casual and good for groups, with beer and wine available. It's not the original Madison Square Park Shack, but it's a reliable option when you're in the theater district.
The line moves fast thanks to efficient staff, though some say the food tastes better at the original. Prices are budget-friendly for the area. It's a solid choice for a quick bite before or after a show. If you're looking for a sit-down meal nearby, Ippudo offers ramen a few blocks away.
Times Square is crowded and touristy, but this spot is convenient if you're seeing a show or exploring the area. It's near 44th Street.

“"Really Shake It"”
In a rush? Too bad, everyone else is too. The employees are good at keeping the line moving, but the food somehow tastes better at the Madison Square Park location. A for effort, B- for execution.
