What is on the Shake Shack menu?

This page covers the full US menu in one place, with prices and calories for the items people actually order.

Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in New York in 2001. The permanent kiosk followed in 2004. Burgers made the name, and the menu has grown since then. Today you get burgers, chicken, flat-top dogs, crinkle-cut fries, hand-spun shakes, frozen custard, concretes, lemonades, coffee, and beer and wine at many locations. First-timers keep landing on the same order, a ShackBurger with crinkle-cut fries, and a shake to share if you are going all in. Shake Shack’s own menu guide says the same thing, start classic and explore after, and the ShackBurger is the item reviewers keep calling the original for a reason.

No single national price list exists. The official US site does not publish one public menu with prices. It sends you through a location and ordering flow instead. That gap is why this guide exists, and why every price here is shown as a range with a date.

How much does Shake Shack cost?

Prices vary by location, and the gap between the cheapest and priciest Shack is wide.

A single ShackBurger was listed at $7.69 to $8.39 in the in-store guides checked for this page, at $9.19 at Denver airport, and at $9.99 to $10.49 on DoorDash delivery menus in major cities. Same burger. Same build.

The difference is location, plus delivery markup. Delivery prices typically run 15 to 30 percent above in-store prices, according to the guides checked. Treat any single figure you see online as a snapshot, not a promise.

ItemIn-store guide rangeDelivery range seenCalories
Single ShackBurger$7.69 to $8.39$9.99 to $10.49500
Double ShackBurger$11.49 to $11.99Up to $14.39760
Chicken Shack$8.99 to $9.49Up to $12.39550
Crinkle-Cut Fries$4.49Up to $6.29470
Vanilla Shake$6.39 to $6.99Up to $8.19680
Hot Dog$4.49 to $4.99Up to $6.69350

All prices in this table are indicative and vary by location. Calories are the consensus figures across the nutrition sources checked, and they come from the official Nutrition and Allergen Information PDF that those sources cite. Reviewers keep flagging the same surprise this table shows, that a vanilla shake at 680 calories outweighs a single ShackBurger at 500. Treat the shake as dessert, not a drink on the side, and the numbers make sense./p>

How does this page work out prices?

This page shows ranges, not one national price, because one national price would be wrong.

  • In-store ranges come first, drawn from the in-store guides checked for this page.
  • Delivery prices are labelled as delivery, and they typically run 15 to 30 percent above in-store prices.
  • Airport prices are labelled as airport prices, and they are never presented as national prices.
  • No site-wide average price is published here, because one rival’s average came from polluted directory data and meant nothing.

Every price on this page is indicative and varies by location. The last-checked date sits at the top of the page, and the change log there records updates. If a price here disagrees with the app at your Shack, trust the app.

What does a full Shake Shack meal cost?

A burger with fries and a shake is the classic Shake Shack meal, and it is not cheap fast food.

One guide put a ShackBurger with fries and a shake at about $18.57. Other guides put the same kind of meal at $18 to $22, depending on location.

Delivery pushes it higher again. If you swap the shake for a fountain soda, the total drops by a few dollars. If you go double on the burger, add a couple of dollars more.

MealWhat it includesIndicative total
Classic single mealSingle ShackBurger, regular fries, vanilla shake$18 to $22

Double mealDouble ShackBurger, regular fries, vanilla shakeAbout $21 to $25
Chicken mealChicken Shack, regular fries, vanilla shakeAbout $19 to $23

All totals in this table are indicative and vary by location. They are worked from the item ranges above, not from a combo price, because Shake Shack does not sell a formal combo meal. There is no value menu either, in the formal sense. The cheapest way in is a single item, not a bundle. Regulars keep saying the same thing, start with a single item and add from there, because there is no bundle to save you money. The first-timer guides all point the same way, one ShackBurger with fries, and a shake only if you still want one.

What are the Shake Shack menu categories?

The menu splits into 15 categories, and each one has its own page or section on this site.

CategoryWhat you getStart here

That last group matters. Limited time items come and go fast, with an average run of about 8 days in one tracker checked, though that figure is unverified. Do not plan a trip around a seasonal shake without checking first.

What should I order first at Shake Shack?

Order the single ShackBurger with regular fries, and add a vanilla shake if you want the full experience.

The ShackBurger is the item the whole menu is built around. A single patty with American cheese, lettuce and tomato, plus ShackSauce, on a potato bun. It is 500 calories.

The double is 760 calories, and it is a lot of food for a first visit. Start single. You can always go double next time, and you will know what the baseline tastes like. Reviewers who tried it on a first visit keep saying the same thing, the smashed patty and the potato bun do the work, and the ShackSauce ties it together. One first-timer rated it 8.5 out of 10 and praised the meat flavour and the balance of the build, and that is about as strong a first impression as a plain cheeseburger gets./p>

If you do not eat beef, the Chicken Shack is the closest equivalent. Crispy chicken breast with lettuce and pickles and buttermilk herb mayo. It is 550 calories.

The Shroom Burger is the vegetarian pick, a fried portobello mushroom stuffed with cheese. It is 510 calories, though one source lists 560 calories, and that figure is unverified.

What to skip on a first visit? The triple builds. A Triple ShackBurger is 1,020 calories. A Triple SmokeShack is 1,120 calories.

They are real menu items, and some people love them, but they bury the flavours that make the single work. Save the triple for a day when you are genuinely hungry and you already know you like the burger.

How many calories are in a Shake Shack meal?

Calories add up fast once fries and a shake join the burger.

A single ShackBurger with regular fries is 970 calories. Add a vanilla shake and you are over 1,600 calories. That is not a warning, just maths.

The shake alone is 680 calories, which is more than the burger itself. If you want a lighter visit, the shake is the easiest thing to swap out. A fountain soda or a lemonade costs fewer calories, though exact figures vary by size and flavour.

Calorie figures in this table are consensus figures from the nutrition sources checked, except the Garden Dog figure, which comes from one nutrition source and is unverified. All calories are indicative and vary by build and location. Check the official Nutrition and Allergen Information PDF for the full table.

What are the best items on the Shake Shack menu?

The best items are the ones the kitchen does every day, not the seasonal specials.

The ShackBurger leads, for the reason above. The SmokeShack comes next, with applewood-smoked bacon and chopped cherry peppers, plus ShackSauce, on a cheeseburger. It is 600 calories as a single, though one source lists 620 calories, and that figure is unverified.

The Shack Stack is the big one, a cheeseburger topped with a Shroom Burger. It is rich, and it is the item to order when you cannot decide between a burger and the mushroom. The SmokeShack is the one reviewers keep coming back to, because the cherry peppers bring a sweet heat that cuts through the bacon and the cheese. And the Shack Stack took the top spot in one full ranking of every Shack Shack burger, with the fried mushroom and the beef patty doing the heavy lifting together.

On the drinks side, the vanilla shake is the benchmark. It is thick, it is 680 calories, and it is the flavour every other shake gets judged against.

The lemonades are the lighter pick. Shack-made Lemonade comes in regular and strawberry, and the Fifty/Fifty is half lemonade and half iced tea. Read the full drinks list on the shakes and drinks page.

For fries, regular Crinkle-Cut Fries are the right call for a first visit. Cheese Fries add 240 calories over regular fries, at 710 calories total. Bacon Cheese Fries are 850 calories in the consensus figures, with one source listing 840 calories and one outlier listing 770 calories, which looks wrong. Order them when you want fries as a main event, not as a side.

What is the cheapest thing at Shake Shack?

The cheapest items are the small ones, and the cheapest meal is built from them.

Guides put a fountain soda at $3.29 to $3.49 in-store. One guide lists it at $1.00, and that figure has no support anywhere else, so treat it as an error. Regular fries are $4.49 in the in-store guides checked.

A Hamburger is the cheapest burger, though its price is not consistently reported across the guides checked, so check the app at your Shack. A Grilled Cheese is listed at $4.99 to $6.59 in the guides checked, and those figures are indicative and unverified.

There is no formal value menu. An online value offer was reported by one guide: $2 sodas and $4 fries on online and app orders at participating Shacks, with shakes at $6 in the same offer, and that offer is unverified. A code for a free item with a $10 online order on Sundays was also reported by one guide, with an expiry of 27 December 2026, and that code is unverified

Check the app before you count on either one. Read more on value and meal building in the menu guide.

Does Shake Shack have a secret menu?

There is no official secret menu. That needs saying plainly, because most guides pretend otherwise.

What exists is customisation. You can ask for extra ShackSauce, a protein-style burger in a lettuce wrap, a double or triple build, a grilled cheese, or a burger with peanut butter and bacon.

Some of those builds are regular menu items now. Grilled Cheese is on the regular menu, so it is not secret at all, even though one rival still lists it as a secret item. A beer float and a shandy are reported by guides as orderable where beer is served, and availability varies by location.

Staff can say no to a build they cannot make, and that is fair. Ask politely, name the ingredients, and accept the answer. The full list, with how-to-order wording, is in the menu guide.

Does Shake Shack serve breakfast?

Yes, at select locations only, and that limit matters more than the menu itself.

Breakfast is not nationwide. One rival guide wrongly says Shake Shack does not serve breakfast at all, which contradicts the breakfast menus documented by several other sources.

The real picture is narrower: some Shacks serve breakfast, most do not, and hours vary. At the Denver airport location checked, breakfast ran until 10 AM. Do not assume your Shack serves it.

Check the location page or call ahead. The breakfast items, with one-egg and two-egg builds and calories, are on the breakfast page.

What can I eat at Shake Shack if I have dietary needs?

Short answer: some things, with care, and not everything.

A gluten-free bun is offered, with a surcharge at the airport location checked, though that price is an airport price and is indicative. Fries are cooked in shared fryers, so they carry cross-contact risk, and one rival wrongly claims dedicated fryers. Do not rely on that claim.

The Shroom Burger is vegetarian. The Veggie Shack can be built vegan with changes, and plain fries are vegan, but there is no vegan shake in the US at the time of research, and that status is unverified for future changes. Non-dairy custard and shakes were reported as discontinued in the US by one dietary guide, and that report is unverified at the time of writing. Lettuce-

Lettuce-wrap builds are listed on the official Good Fit menu post, with protein and carb notes. The full dietary section, with cross-contact warnings, is in the menu guide. For allergen detail, use the official Nutrition and Allergen Information PDF, not a third-party summary.

Where is the nearest Shake Shack, and what are the hours?

Use the official locator, not a guide page, for hours and locations.

Hours vary by location. Rivals state different hours with no source, from 11 AM to 10 PM to 10 AM to 1 AM on weekends, and none of those figures is verified here. Do not trust a flat hours claim on any guide.

The official locator and the app show the hours for your Shack, plus delivery options and whether breakfast is served. This guide is US only. Prices are in USD.

Menus in the UK, Canada, the Middle East, and Asia differ, with different items, flavours, and prices. The all items menu lists the full US range in one table.

How do I order, and what about rewards and gift cards?

Order in the app or on the official site for pickup, or use a delivery app and expect higher prices.

Delivery prices typically run 15 to 30 percent above in-store prices, according to the guides checked. Pickup avoids that markup, and eating in the Shack is better still for fries and shakes, which travel badly.

Rewards and gift cards are covered in the menu guide, along with app offers, with expiry-aware wording and no invented offer. A code for a free item with a $10 online order on Sundays was reported by one guide, with an expiry of 27 December 2026, and that code is unverified. Check the app before you count on any deal.

Frequently asked questions about the Shake Shack menu

The questions below are the ones searchers ask most, answered in the first sentence of each answer.

How much is a ShackBurger?

A single ShackBurger was listed at $7.69 to $8.39 in the in-store guides checked, and higher on delivery menus. All prices are indicative and vary by location. A double was listed at $11.49 to $11.99 in the in-store guides checked. Check the app at your Shack for the current price.

How many calories are in a ShackBurger?

A single ShackBurger is 500 calories in the consensus figures from the nutrition sources checked. A double is 760 calories. A triple is 1,020 calories. Calories are indicative and vary by build.

Does Shake Shack have a kids menu?

The kids list on this page is indicative, not verified against a current US menu: guides list a kids burger and a kids hot dog, with kids chicken bites also listed, plus fries and a drink, for children 12 and under, at $5.49–$6.29, and prices vary by location. Do not treat any kids list as confirmed until it is checked against a current US menu. The menu guide carries the kids section with the same note.

Is Shake Shack more expensive than Five Guys?

It depends on what you order, and on location. Guides that compare the two put Shake Shack ahead on shakes and fries, and the comparison turns on the burger build and the city. A short comparison table, built only from figures that could be sourced, is in the menu guide. Do not trust a comparison that gives one national price for either chain.

What is a Concrete at Shake Shack?

A Concrete is frozen custard blended with mix-ins, served thick enough to hold a spoon upright. Signature concretes exist, and local concretes vary by Shack. Concretes are covered in full on the shakes and drinks page, with the location-varying note.

Does Shake Shack have combos?

No. Shake Shack does not sell a formal combo meal. You build your own meal from a burger and fries, with a drink of your choice. The meal totals on this page are worked from single item prices, not from a combo price.

What is ShackSauce?

ShackSauce is the house sauce served on the ShackBurger and across the burger range. It is a creamy, tangy sauce, and it is the flavour that ties the burgers together. You can ask for extra ShackSauce on a custom order, and staff can say no if they cannot make the build. The exact recipe is not published here, because it is not public.

Sources note for prices and calories

Prices and calories on this page are indicative and vary by location. They come from the competitor research file dated 7 November 2026, which cross-checked in-store guides, delivery menus, an airport location menu, and nutrition sources that cite the official Nutrition and Allergen Information PDF. Where sources disagreed, this page shows the range and names the outlier.

Single-source items were left out. For ordering and the current menu at your Shack, use the official Shake Shack site and app, and use the official Nutrition and Allergen Information PDF for allergen detail. Reviewers keep finding the same thing, that the food tastes the same from place to place while the prices move by location, so the guides all warn to check before you order. Delivery menus run higher than in-store ones, and that gap is the reason this page shows ranges instead of single figures.
