About Burger Shack
Burger Shack is a fast food restaurant on Kingsway in Manchester, built around smash patty burgers and walk-in ordering. The Boss burger comes with Monterey Jack cheese, while the Chick N' Shack sandwich uses a panko-coated fried chicken fillet. Wings are offered across four or five flavours, including mango habanero, alongside wraps such as a Thai sweet chilli option. Sides run to loaded cheese fries, smothered in cheese and toppings. There is no reservation system, orders are taken at the counter, and delivery covers home orders for those not eating in.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently return for the burgers, especially the Boss burger and the Chick N' Shack, describing juicy, smash patties, melted cheese, and crispy panko-coated chicken as reliably flavorful. Close behind, the loaded cheese fries and newer additions like the wings (mango habanero) and Thai sweet chilli wrap draw repeated praise for portion size and flavor, with several calling the value for money strong at around £7-8 a meal. Staff are frequently described as friendly and welcoming, offering recommendations on favorites. However, several reviewers report inconsistency: burnt buns, lukewarm food, and missing drinks in one order, oily and burnt chicken tenders swapped back unreplaced in another, and disappointment when a smash patty wasn't used. One reviewer, seven months pregnant, describes receiving an undercooked burger and says the owner dismissed her food safety concerns without offering a refund or apology. Despite this, most describe the food arriving hot and packaged well, with one noting a driver delivering promptly and politely.

“The restaurant interior could definitely do with an upgrade, but don’t let that put you off. The burger was absolutely delicious—juicy, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it! The only thing I’d suggest is serving it in a burger pocket or sleeve, as it would make the whole eating experience a lot less messy.”

“My first time here I came on Monday evening and ordered box up meal for 14.99 and a extra chicken patty I was looking forward to the meal as this place was recommended by friends but the experience left me very disappointed my burger was fantastic which I am pleased about hence the 2 stars but my chicken tenders were oily and not fresh they was black in colour and burnt I called up was told my chicken tenders would be replaced I went back in took my previous tenders and gave them back to my surprise the worker skinny fella on the fryer decided it would be a good thing to give me back the same tenders and act like they was fresh after making me wait 10mins soon as I saw them again I immediately pointed out they was the same ones I had just given back to which he didn't reply or acknowledge I then decided to walk out It was a 20 pound order not a lot but this act has now resulted in losing my custom forever I was planning on ordering from here for the family but not now Many thanks Just replying back to the owner I came back after 10mins not 30 mins and second of all you gave 2 tenders which was still over cooked it took your staff 5 mins trying to figure out how to use a thermometer to check chicken as I watched on and left the other 2 in the box I would never leave a negative review I am being genuine”

“I'm a regular customer at Burger Shack and sadly I've had a dissapointing experience today. The food arrived lukewarm and usually its super hot so I don't know what happened there. Additionally the burger buns were completely burnt on both sides which was disappointing and really ruined the taste of the burger. We also were missing our two drinks from the order. I rang the business to ask what could be done and they said they would send someone with our drinks but couldn't do anything about the burger. They said they would compensate me but didnt tell me how so I assume nothing will be done, quite disappointed by the service today.”
