About

About Shake Shack

Shake Shack grew out of a 2001 hot dog cart Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group operated in Madison Square Park as part of a public art project. The cart was so popular that it became a permanent kiosk in 2004 under the Shake Shack name. The brand expanded slowly at first, focused on quality and the neighborhood-gathering experience, before going public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2015.

The menu is built around all-natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free Angus beef, freshly ground and never frozen. Buns come from Martin's Famous Pastry Shoppe, the same potato-roll bakery favored by many high-end burger chefs. Frozen custard — which contains more egg yolk and less air than standard ice cream — is made fresh throughout the day in each Shack and served in shakes, cups, and concretes (a Shake Shack term for thick, blended custard treats).

Today Shake Shack operates more than 500 locations globally, including outposts in airports, sports stadiums, and international markets from London to Tokyo. Its domestic U.S. footprint is heaviest in the Northeast but it has expanded to most major metro areas. The brand frequently collaborates with local chefs, breweries, and bakeries on limited-time menu items that vary by region.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Shake Shack ShackBurger cost?

A ShackBurger costs $6.29 as a national average as of May 2026. Prices vary by location, particularly in high-cost markets like Manhattan, airports, and sports venues, where you might pay $7.50 or more. The ShackBurger is a single beef patty with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and the proprietary ShackSauce on a Martin's potato roll.

What is the cheapest item on the Shake Shack menu?

The cheapest items are fountain drinks at $3.29, followed by a vanilla or chocolate custard cup at $3.99 and crinkle-cut fries at $3.99. Among proteins, a plain hot dog runs $4.79 — the least expensive handheld on the menu. The Shack-cago Dog (Chicago-style) is $4.99.

Does Shake Shack offer combo meals?

Shake Shack does not offer formal numbered combo meals the way traditional fast food chains do. You build your own meal by adding sides and drinks. A typical ShackBurger + fries + drink combo comes to roughly $13–$14 depending on location. Some locations and the app occasionally run promotional bundle pricing.

What is a Shake Shack concrete?

A concrete is Shake Shack's signature frozen custard treat — dense-frozen custard blended with mix-ins until it's so thick it can be served upside down without spilling. Popular concretes include the Shack Attack (chocolate custard + fudge brownie + cookie dough + chocolate chunks) and the Brooklyn Blackout. Concretes typically run $6.49.

Is Shake Shack fast food or fast casual?

Shake Shack is fast casual. It uses fresh, never-frozen beef, all-natural ingredients, and a customizable menu at a slightly higher price point than traditional fast food (McDonald's, Burger King). You order at a counter, but the experience and ingredient quality is closer to a sit-down burger bar than a drive-through chain. Shake Shack does not have drive-throughs at most locations.

What is ShackSauce?

ShackSauce is Shake Shack's signature condiment — a creamy, slightly tangy sauce that resembles a combination of Thousand Island dressing and mayonnaise with a mild kick. The exact recipe is proprietary, but it contains a base of mayo, Dijon mustard, ketchup, cayenne, and spices. It comes on all standard burgers and can be requested on the side.

Does Shake Shack have a vegetarian or vegan menu?

Yes. The 'Shroom Burger ($9.09) and Shack Stack ($9.59) feature a crispy fried portobello mushroom cap filled with muenster and cheddar cheese — both are vegetarian but not vegan due to dairy. For a vegan option, Shake Shack offers a veggie patty at some locations (availability varies). Fries and frozen custard are vegetarian; custard contains egg so is not vegan.

Are Shake Shack prices higher in some locations?

Yes, significantly. Shake Shack prices vary widely by market. A ShackBurger that costs $6.29 at a standard suburban location may cost $8.50 or more at a Manhattan flagship, a major airport terminal, or a sports stadium. Prices in international markets (UK, Middle East, Asia) are set in local currency and reflect local cost structures. Always confirm with your local Shake Shack or the app.

How does Shake Shack compare to Five Guys on price?

Shake Shack is generally cheaper than Five Guys for a comparable meal. A Shake Shack ShackBurger runs $6.29 vs. a Five Guys cheeseburger at around $12.09 (2026 averages). Five Guys includes unlimited free toppings and peanuts, and the portion sizes are notably larger. Shake Shack wins on price and ambiance; Five Guys wins on portion and customization freedom.
