Went on a Sunday visit to Hillsdale Shopping and there was a big crowd of people, families, young students, friends. It was a little crowded but we got plenty of tables to choose from Shake Shack. Reliable burgers, fries and soda to while away the time. Eating filling delicious cheeseburgers. Good place, good food. Great!!

I like the idea of self ordering the meal in a tablet. However, 2 of 4 tablets were not working, so there was a considerable waiting time. That said, the burger, fries and drinks were good. The meal for 2 people would cost around 50 dollars.

Jennifer the cashier made my night! I was there on my birthday and she cheered and clapped for my birthday and had so much energy, even some of the other customers joined in. She is an absolute light and has me already wanting to go back. The manager was also very nice! The food we got was delicious and fresh. I tried the veggie burger for the first time and loved it!

It has always been my favorite hamburger! Of course, it is pretty much costly: $30 for two burgers, one fries, and chocolate shakes

I come here often because the food and shakes are always great. Dining in has been a good experience, and I especially enjoy the outdoor seating area. That said, the staff could be a bit friendlier, and the order/pick-up process sometimes feels disorganized—I’ve even had an order get lost before. Overall, I’d recommend dining in over takeout for a smoother experience.

Pro tips: Get cheese sauce with your fries. Enjoy the free soda refills. The burgers look small, but they are very filling. Don't get more than one. The only thing good about this place are the fries. Upgrade to the cheese fries any chance you get and enjoy them while it is hot and gooey. The staff is slightly unenthusiastic. The mushroom burger was quite good, but dry. The buns should have been steamed before being toasted and the burger could use more sauce. If it wasn't for the fries I would not come back to Shake Shack.

It felt more like a snack than a "meal" and $42 for this order. I took 5 bites, and I was done with my burger. The French fries weren't that great even after I added ketchup. Overall experience, I liked the burger but not enough of it. I could live with out the fries. The blueberry drink was actually pretty good!

We ordered via the kiosk and had our food delivered to our table. Everything was pretty contactless and hassle free. We ordered 2 Shacks Burger and 1 Bacon Cheeseburger, 1 fries and one float root beer. The food was good, but the drink was a bit under the par. Otherwise, everything was good. Decent place for burgers!
