Customer Review Summary
Burgers anchor the praise, with reviewers calling them juicy and delicious and singling out the Triple ShackBurger and the hot honey burger, which one reviewer calls the best they have had. One diner describes a bun so soft it almost tastes like a pancake, with the meat and cheese perfectly cooked. Close behind is the staff, described repeatedly as friendly and welcoming. Several mention a team member who checked on tables, made recommendations, or cleared plates and asked how the food was. Shakes, fresh fries and a fresh lemonade also get mentioned, and a few say it was busy but the food came out quickly. One reviewer was glad to hear halal beef burgers are now served. The only complaint comes from one reviewer who found the iced tea a bit too watery, though they and their family otherwise liked everything. Several are repeat visitors, and some compare it favorably to Shake Shack back in New York or Texas. One says a server offered their table free ice cream.

“Leicester Square Shake Shack never misses, and the vibe is always buzzing. A massive shoutout to Sumaiya for making the experience even better—absolute superstar customer service, super welcoming, and quick with a smile. The burgers and shakes hit the spot as always. Will definitely be back!”

“Great experience at Shake Shack Leicester Square. The Triple ShackBurger was juicy and delicious, and the lemonade was fresh. A big thank you to Hassan for the excellent service—friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect. This was our third visit, and we'll definitely be back!”

“I don't like when people put too many things in a hamburger. I have always liked to keep it simple. When I first heard about Shake Shack, I thought, "I need to try this. This might be perfect for my taste," and I was right. It was my first time ever trying Shake Shack, and I absolutely loved it. The meat and cheese were perfectly cooked, and the vegetables were perfectly placed. As for the bun, I don't know how they do it, but it is so soft and good that it almost tastes like a pancake. For my taste, the softness of the bun is perfect. I met an employee there who was very nice, and we had a pleasant little conversation as well. He asked if everything was good (maybe because I took a video of the food, but I explained that I just made it to show my friends who have never tried Shake Shack before how good the bun is). It was a pleasure to meet this guy. I love meeting kind and friendly people like him. However, if I had to mention one bad thing, it would be the iced tea. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad at all, but it tasted a bit too watery, and I didn't expect that when I bought it. Still, it is a very positive sign that this is the only negative thing I can think of. By the way, I came with my sister and mother, and they share the exact same opinion. They liked everything except the drink.”

“American traveler coming through Central London in Leicester Square and stopped at Shake Shack, the food was absolutely delicious just like back home in Texas. Meet Hasan at the store and he greated us warmly, made recommendations and assisted us in ordering. He checked on everyone in the food area to make sure we were doing great. Thanks Shake Shack for good food, great staff, and dynamic greeter in Hassan.”
