Fodor's Review:

Local restaurant legend Danny Meyer has gone a little low-brow with his fast-ish food venture, Shake Shack—and New Yorkers are loving it. The Upper West Side Shack is an eat-in joint located just across Columbus Ave. from the American Museum of Natural History. While the lines may be long at lunchtime, the grub is good and well priced. Fresh steer burgers are ground daily, and a single will run you from $3.75 to $4.75, depending on what you want on it. They're not the best or the biggest burgers in the city, but they're decidedly tasty. For a few more bucks you can also order doubles and stacks or a vegetarian 'Shroom Burger—a melty muenster and cheddar cheese-stuffed portobello, topped with lettuce, tomato, and Shack sauce. The Shake Shack also offers beef and bird (chicken) hot dogs, French fries and fries drizzled with Shack-made cheddar and American cheese sauce, and a variety of delicious frozen custard desserts and—of course—shakes!
