Customer Review Summary
Price is the most repeated complaint. Several call it expensive for fast food, with fries singled out as pricey. Others cite a messy, noisy seating area with overflowing bins, and pigeons landing on empty tables, with no indoor seating. One family reports being moved from their chosen seating area because it was closing, then watching other guests sit there. One reviewer says a lettuce-wrap burger arrived with no lettuce wrapping. Cold chips and a bland iced tea were each replaced without fuss.

“Food was really nice specially the burgers. Fries was just a but soggy but the service was superb. Crew was very nice I didn’t expect the house blend iced tea to be on the bland side and they were happy to replace my drinks. Atmosphere 10/10”

“Super good good, we always stop here when we get to Covent garden's. The food is always great and amazing quality and portions. Although it's fast food, it tastes fresh and worth the money. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a bit of queuing time, but not too long, and the seating area is central Covent garden's so really nice and the staff help you find tables. You get an alert on the buzzer when your foods ready, and it doesn't take too long. I recommend the salted caramel milkshake, hot dog and crinkle cut chips but other family members love the burgers !!!”

“We had a very bad experience with the service personnel. Traveling as a family with two kids. First, we were not allowed to sit down before we order. Ok, so let's do. Then, order done, we were thrown out of our desired seating area because "this area closes now". We did not comply. After us, many more guests arrived and sat down exactly in our area. Apparently, they don't like families here. Food is Ok, but overpriced compared to similar offers in Westminster.”

“Over £25 per person for a meal. Quite expensive for burgers, fries, and drinks but delicious burgers. Self service so not much to say about service. In the middle of Covent Garden where pigeons just fly around next to you while you eat. And pigeons on empty tables. No indoor seating.”

“Had a fantastic meal at Shake Shack (Covent Garden) the Cashier and Manager on Duty were polite and friendly. The allergens were explained carefully. Food was served quickly and was clearly freshly made. A really pleasant experience overall. Thanks guys! 🌟”
