Our Story

Shake Shack sprouted from a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park in Manhattan to support the Madison Square Park Conservancy’s first art installation. The cart was quite the success, with Shack fans lined up daily for three summers.

In 2004, a permanent kiosk opened in the park: Shake Shack was born. This modern day “roadside” burger stand serves up the most delicious burgers, hot dogs, frozen custard, shakes, beer, wine and more. An instant neighborhood fixture, Shake Shack welcomed people from all over the city, country and world who gathered together to enjoy fresh, simple, high-quality versions of the classics in a majestic setting. The rest, as they say, is burger history.

We’re committed to extending hospitality beyond the four walls of each Shack into the surrounding community. Thank you for standing with us as we look to the future. See more good

Good Ingredients

100% all-natural Angus beef, vegetarian fed, humanely raised and source verified. No hormones or antibiotics – EVER. We pride ourselves on sourcing incredible ingredients from like-minded artisanal producers.
Good 'n' Green

Every Shack recycles all bottles and plastics, whether you sort or we do the sorting post-collection. It’s the most efficient way to make sure ZERO recyclable material ends up in landfills. Our cooking oil is reused to produce clean energy and our kitchen food is composted where locally possible.
Good Bones

Each Shack is constructed thoughtfully and purposefully to fit its unique environment, using a creative design approach that creates places and experiences like nowhere else. All good in the wood!
Good Neighbors

We’re all about our hood! We strive to be the best employers and citizens of each community we call home. Whether partnering with Share Our Strength or working with local charitable organizations to donate 5% of sales of a specific concrete – the Shack is committed to giving back.
