Shake Shack Hudson Yards

A pretty chill spot in the neighborhood with affordable prices. We’ve only been on weekends for lunch, and there are always seats available. It’s quiet with a relaxed vibe, so you can actually have a conversation without yelling over noise. I usually go for the burgers, but I tried something from the brunch menu last time and it was pretty solid too.

Came in for happy hour and was thoroughly disappointed. We ordered a round of beers as well as fish and chips and nachos to start. Luckily we waited to put in our order of entrees because wow was the food a major disappointment. The nachos were an extremely small portion and insanely soggy. The fish and chips were even more disappointing: two small MICROWAVED pieces of soggy fish (can’t even say it was cod). The inside was a good vibe but the food was such a disappointment that I would not recommend or return.

We wanted to have a late lunch here, but we left with an unpleasant feeling. The food was average, and inside there was a large group of people making excessive noise, yet no one asked them to quiet down. The worst part came at the end. They brought us a bill that matched exactly what we had ordered. Two minutes later, the server snatched it from my hand and gave me a different one — 20% higher. They added a tip automatically, which no one here deserved. The tip couldn’t be removed. I do not recommend this restaurant at all.
