Shake Shack Menu With Prices, Calories & Guide November 2026
Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in a New York park and grew into one of the best-known burger names in America, keeping the menu short and the quality high. The ShackBurger, the crinkle-cut fries, and the hand-spun frozen custard shakes are the three things almost everyone orders, and everything else on the board builds around them. This guide covers the full Shake Shack menu with typical prices and calories for November 2026: the burgers, the chicken sandwiches and bites, the flat-top hot dogs, the fries, the shakes and concretes, the drinks, the kids menu, and the deals that make a visit cheaper.
The story begins in 2001, when restaurateur Danny Meyer set up a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park in Manhattan to support a public art project, and the cart drew lines so long that a permanent kiosk followed in 2004. That first Shack is still there, and the chain has since grown to hundreds of restaurants across the United States and overseas. Most locations open around 10:30 or 11:00 AM and close around 10:00 or 11:00 PM, with airport and stadium spots keeping their own hours. The menu is built on a few signatures: Angus beef smashed on the griddle, a potato roll from Martin’s, the house ShackSauce, and frozen custard spun to order instead of soft serve from a machine.
A quick note on how to read the prices below. Shake Shack sets its prices by market rather than by one national list, so a ShackBurger in Manhattan, at an airport, or inside a stadium can cost several dollars more than the same burger in a smaller city, and delivery apps add their own markup on top. So the numbers in the tables below are typical ranges I put together from the chain’s own ordering site plus public menu listings checked in November 2026 — a planning guide, not a promise of what your nearest Shack will charge. Where a figure comes from one listing only, or from a delivery menu, we say so with words like around and approximately so you can judge it for yourself.
Burgers
The burger board runs from a plain Hamburger up through the stacked and loaded builds, and every one of them starts with the same Angus beef patty on a toasted potato roll. The ShackBurger is the original and still the most-ordered item on the menu: a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce, the mayonnaise-and-mustard house sauce that gives the burger its flavor. The SmokeShack adds applewood-smoked bacon and chopped cherry peppers for heat, the ‘Shroom Burger swaps the beef for a crisp-fried portobello mushroom stuffed with melted cheese, and the ShackStack puts both a beef patty and a ‘Shroom patty in one bun.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hamburger | $5.69–$6.49 | 370 | Single beef patty with lettuce, tomato, and ShackSauce |
| Cheeseburger | $6.49–$7.49 | 470 | Single patty with American cheese; the plainest cheeseburger |
| ShackBurger | $7.69–$8.99 | 500–530 | The original cheeseburger; the most-ordered item on the menu |
| Double ShackBurger | $10.49–$13.00 | 790 | Two patties with double cheese; the big-appetite order |
| SmokeShack | $9.69–$10.49 | 600 | Cheeseburger with applewood bacon, cherry pepper, and ShackSauce |
| Double SmokeShack | around $13.49–$15.49 | 880 | Two patties with bacon and cherry pepper; approximate, varies by market |
| ‘Shroom Burger | $8.69–$9.49 | 490 | Crisp-fried portobello stuffed with muenster and cheddar; vegetarian |
| ShackStack | around $11.99–$13.49 | 840 | Beef patty plus a ‘Shroom patty in one bun; the heaviest burger |
| Avocado Bacon Burger | around $10.49–$11.99 | 620 | Cheeseburger with avocado and applewood bacon; approximate |
| Triple ShackBurger | around $14.99–$17.29 | 1,080 | Three patties with triple cheese; the largest burger on the board |
Pro Diner Tip: if it is your first visit, order the single ShackBurger and nothing else fancy, because it is the burger the whole chain is built around and it tells you everything about the place in one bite. The double is a lot of food — 790 calories before fries — so save it for a genuinely hungry day. The ‘Shroom Burger is the pick for anyone who does not eat beef, and it is not a lesser burger: the fried mushroom patty with melted cheese inside has its own following, and plenty of meat-eaters order it on purpose.
Value analysis: burgers run from about $5.69 for a plain Hamburger to about $17.29 for a Triple ShackBurger, and the single ShackBurger at $7.69 to $8.99 is the value center of the board — a full-size signature burger for under $9 in most markets. The doubles and triples cost $3 to $5 more per extra patty, which is a fair price for the added beef but a poor deal if you are going to order fries and a shake as well. The vegetarian ‘Shroom Burger at $8.69 to $9.49 costs more than the ShackBurger, so vegetarians pay a small premium here, while the Hamburger at $5.69 to $6.49 is the budget way into the menu.
Chicken
The chicken side of the menu is short but strong, built around one sandwich and one snack. The Chick’n Shack is a crispy fried chicken breast with lettuce, pickles, and buttermilk herb mayo on the same potato roll as the burgers, and the Hot Chick’n is the same sandwich with a spicy kick. The Chick’n Bites are the shareable version: small pieces of fried chicken sold in boxes of six or ten, with a dipping sauce on the side.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chick’n Shack | $8.29–$9.49 | 550–560 | Crispy chicken breast with lettuce, pickles, and buttermilk herb mayo |
| Hot Chick’n | $8.49–$9.99 | 580–680 | The spicy chicken sandwich; same build with added heat |
| Chick’n Bites — 6 pc | $6.99 | 300 | Six pieces of fried chicken with a dipping sauce |
| Chick’n Bites — 10 pc | $9.99 | 500 | Ten pieces; the sharing size for two people |
| Chick’n Shack — with bacon | around $10.49–$11.49 | 640 | Applewood bacon added to the chicken sandwich; approximate |
| Hot Chick’n — with extra pickles | Same as Hot Chick’n | 580–690 | Extra pickles are a free add-on; no price change |
| Chick’n Shack + fries + drink (typical meal) | around $15–$18 | 1,020–1,280 | Built à la carte; no combo price, added up item by item |
| Chick’n Bites 10 pc + fries (typical share) | around $14–$17 | 970 | Two people can split this; built à la carte, no combo price |
Pro Diner Tip: the Chick’n Shack is the best chicken sandwich on this menu and the one to order if you are choosing between chicken and beef — it is crisp outside, juicy inside, and the herb mayo keeps it from drying out. The Bites are the better pick for a group, because a ten-piece box with a fries order feeds two people as a light meal for around $14 to $17. If you like spice, go straight to the Hot Chick’n rather than asking for hot sauce on the regular sandwich, since the spicy build is seasoned through the breading instead of just on top.
Value analysis: chicken runs from $6.99 for a six-piece Bites box to about $11.49 for a bacon-topped Chick’n Shack, and the sandwich at $8.29 to $9.49 sits a dollar or two above the ShackBurger for a similar amount of food. The Bites are the value play here: six pieces at $6.99 is the cheapest chicken on the board, and the ten-piece box at $9.99 works out to about a dollar a piece. Since there are no combo meals, a chicken sandwich with fries and a drink is assembled item by item, so the total depends on what you add — a sandwich and fries alone is a complete meal for around $13 to $14.
Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are where Shake Shack began, back when it was a cart in Madison Square Park, and they are still on the board at a lower price than the burgers. The Flat-Top Dog is a split beef dog griddled on the flat top and served on the potato roll, and the Shack-cago Dog is the Chicago-style version with relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, sport pepper, celery salt, and mustard — and, in the Chicago tradition, no ketchup. Both dogs are made with all-natural, uncured beef in a natural casing.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flat-Top Dog | $4.49–$5.79 | 310–370 | Split beef dog griddled on the flat top, on a potato roll |
| Shack-cago Dog | $5.49–$6.49 | 350–400 | Chicago-style with relish, onion, cucumber, pickle, tomato, and sport pepper |
| Flat-Top Dog — with cheese sauce | around $5.49–$6.79 | 400–450 | Cheese sauce added; approximate, varies by location |
| Flat-Top Dog — with bacon | around $6.49–$7.79 | 420–480 | Applewood bacon added; approximate, varies by location |
| Shack-cago Dog — extra sport pepper | Same as Shack-cago Dog | 350–405 | Extra heat at no charge; ask at the counter |
| Flat-Top Dog + fries (typical meal) | around $9–$11 | 780–840 | The cheapest full meal on the menu; built à la carte |
| Shack-cago Dog + fries (typical meal) | around $10–$11 | 820–870 | Chicago dog with fries; built à la carte, no combo price |
| Kids Hot Dog (Ã la carte) | $5.49 | 310 | Smaller dog for children; also sold as a kids meal with fries and a drink |
Pro Diner Tip: the Flat-Top Dog is the cheapest main on the Shake Shack menu, and it is the right order when you want the Shack experience without the ShackBurger price. The Shack-cago Dog is the more interesting of the two, because the pile of Chicago toppings makes a small dog eat like a big one, and the sport pepper gives it a gentle heat. Order the dog with fries and you have a full meal for around $9 to $11, which is the lowest full-meal total anywhere on this page.
Value analysis: hot dogs run from about $4.49 for a Flat-Top Dog to about $7.79 for a bacon-topped dog, which puts them well below the burger prices on the same board. A Flat-Top Dog with fries at around $9 to $11 undercuts a ShackBurger with fries by three to five dollars, and the dog itself is only 310 to 370 calories, so it is the lightest main too. The Shack-cago Dog costs about a dollar more than the plain dog and earns it with the full Chicago topping set, making it the better value of the two dogs for most people.
Crinkle Cut Fries & Cheese Fries
Shake Shack serves exactly one kind of fry — crinkle-cut, cooked so the ridges stay crisp and the inside stays soft — and the only decision is whether to leave them plain or load them up. The plain fries are the default side with every burger, the cheese fries pour a warm cheese sauce over the same cut, and the bacon cheese fries add applewood-smoked bacon on top of the cheese. There is one size, so the choice is about toppings, not portions.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crinkle-Cut Fries | $4.29–$4.79 | 420–470 | The signature side; one size, crisp outside and soft inside |
| Cheese Fries | $5.99–$8.00 | 590–710 | Crinkle-cut fries under a warm cheese sauce |
| Bacon Cheese Fries | $6.49–$7.29 | 840–850 | Cheese fries with applewood-smoked bacon; the loaded side |
| Crinkle-Cut Fries — with ShackSauce | around $4.99–$5.49 | 470–550 | House sauce as a dip; approximate, varies by location |
| Cheese Fries — extra cheese sauce | around $6.99–$8.99 | 650–780 | A heavier pour of cheese sauce; approximate, varies by location |
| Bacon Cheese Fries — for two | $6.49–$7.29 | 840–850 | One order splits easily between two people as a shared side |
| Crinkle-Cut Fries + burger (typical add-on) | $4.29–$4.79 | 420–470 | The standard side beside any burger or sandwich |
| Cheese Fries + shake (dessert pairing) | around $12–$15 | 1,270–1,470 | Fries and a shake as a snack visit; built à la carte |
Pro Diner Tip: the plain crinkle-cut fries are the side to order with a burger, because they are cheap, they are the right size for one person, and they do not fight the burger for attention. The cheese fries are a different kind of order — they are rich enough to be a small meal on their own, so order them when the fries are the point of the visit rather than a side. One order of bacon cheese fries shared between two people works better than two separate plain orders, and it costs less than the two orders combined.
Value analysis: fries run from about $4.29 for a plain order to about $8.00 for cheese fries in high-priced markets, and the plain fries at $4.29 to $4.79 are the cheapest side on the menu. The cheese upgrade adds roughly $1.50 to $3.00, and the bacon adds another dollar on top, so a loaded fries order can cost nearly double the plain one. The math favors sharing: one bacon cheese fries at $6.49 to $7.29 split between two people is about $3.25 to $3.65 each, which is less than two plain orders and a lot more interesting.
Shakes & Frozen Custard
The shakes are the other half of the Shake Shack name, and they are made from frozen custard rather than ice cream, which makes them thicker and richer than a standard milkshake. Every standard flavor costs the same, and the concretes are the denser version: custard blended with mix-ins until it is thick enough to hold its shape when the cup is turned over. The Shack Attack, with chocolate custard, brownie, cookie dough, and chocolate chunks, is the concrete most people order first.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 680 | Hand-spun vanilla frozen custard; the classic shake |
| Chocolate Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 750 | Hand-spun chocolate frozen custard |
| Strawberry Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 690 | Hand-spun strawberry frozen custard |
| Salted Caramel Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 720 | Hand-spun salted caramel frozen custard |
| Black & White Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 730 | Vanilla and chocolate custard swirled together |
| Peanut Butter Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 760 | Hand-spun peanut butter frozen custard; the richest shake |
| Coffee Shake | $6.39–$6.99 | 700 | Hand-spun coffee frozen custard |
| Shack Attack Concrete | $6.99 | 860 | Chocolate custard with brownie, cookie dough, and chocolate chunks |
| Strawberry Shortcake Concrete | $6.99 | 800 | Vanilla custard with strawberry and shortcake pieces |
| Brooklyn Blackout Concrete | $6.99 | 850 | Chocolate custard with chocolate cake and fudge; the darkest concrete |
| Custom Concrete (single) | $6.49 | 600–900 | Vanilla or chocolate custard with mix-ins of your choice |
Pro Diner Tip: a shake carries 680 to 760 calories, which is more than the ShackBurger itself, so treat it as dessert rather than as a drink with your meal. If you want the full experience, order the burger and fries, then get the shake to share — one shake between two people is plenty, and it keeps the total under control. The concretes are thicker than the shakes and hold up better if you are taking dessert to go, while the seasonal concrete changes through the year and is worth asking about when you visit.
Value analysis: shakes run $6.39 to $6.99 in any standard flavor, and the concretes run $6.49 to $6.99, which makes dessert a flat, predictable part of the bill. The shake is the most expensive single add-on to a meal — it can add nearly as much as the burger itself — so the value question is whether you want it at all. Split between two people, a $6.99 concrete is about $3.50 each, which is a fair price for a real dessert. On your own, the vanilla shake is the best value of the flavors, because it costs the same as the rest and carries the fewest calories.
Drinks
Drinks at Shake Shack run from fountain sodas to the house-made lemonade that regulars rate above the soda, and the menu also carries beer and wine at most locations. The lemonade is made fresh in the restaurant, and it comes in strawberry and watermelon versions alongside the standard one. The Fifty/Fifty is half lemonade and half iced tea, which is the pick for anyone who wants something lighter than a soda but sweeter than plain tea.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fountain Drink | $3.29 | 0–250 | Standard fountain sodas; refills vary by location |
| Shack-Made Lemonade | $3.49–$3.99 | 160–220 | Made fresh in-house; the drink regulars recommend |
| Strawberry Lemonade | $3.49–$3.99 | 180–220 | Fresh lemonade with strawberry; seasonal at some locations |
| Watermelon Lemonade | $3.49–$3.99 | 180–220 | Fresh lemonade with watermelon; seasonal at some locations |
| Fifty/Fifty (lemonade + iced tea) | $3.49 | 110 | Half lemonade, half iced tea; the lightest sweet drink |
| Organic Iced Tea | $3.19 | 0–140 | Fresh-brewed organic iced tea, sweetened or unsweetened |
| Bottled Water | around $2.99–$3.49 | 0 | Still bottled water; approximate, varies by location |
| Root Beer Float | $5.49 | 450 | Root beer over vanilla frozen custard; a dessert drink |
| ShackMeister Ale | $6.99 | 170 | House-brewed ale; 21 and over, at most locations |
| Shack Red or White Wine | around $8.00–$9.00 | 120–150 | House wine by the glass; approximate, varies by location |
Pro Diner Tip: the Shack-made lemonade is the drink to order here, because it is the one drink no other burger chain makes the same way, and at $3.49 to $3.99 it costs only a little more than a fountain soda. The Fifty/Fifty is the smarter pick if you find the lemonade too sweet, since the iced tea cuts it without losing the flavor. Beer and wine are available at most locations, but they push a meal past $20 fast, so save them for an evening visit rather than a lunch stop.
Value analysis: drinks run from about $2.99 for water to about $9.00 for a glass of wine, with the everyday choices — fountain soda, lemonade, and iced tea — clustered between $3.19 and $3.99. That narrow band means the drink decision is about taste rather than money, and the lemonade is the best value of the three because it is made fresh in-house for the price of a soda. The root beer float at $5.49 is really a dessert, and it is cheaper than a shake, so it is the value dessert-drink if you want custard without paying shake prices.
Kids Menu
The kids menu covers children 12 and under, and it is built from smaller versions of the adult items rather than a separate set of dishes. A kids meal comes with small crinkle-cut fries and a drink, so parents can count one price per child and be done. The kids hamburger and the kids chicken bites are the two mains most families order, and the kids hot dog is the cheapest of the three.
| Item | Price | Calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Little Shack Burger Meal | $6.99 | 600 | Small burger with small fries and a drink; for children 12 and under |
| Kids Hamburger (Ã la carte) | $5.99 | 310 | Small hamburger on its own; add fries and a drink to make a meal |
| Kids Chicken Bites Meal | $6.99 | 550 | Chicken bites with small fries and a drink |
| Kids Chick’n Bites (Ã la carte) | $6.99 | 300 | Six chicken bites on their own; the same price as the meal version in some listings |
| Kids Hot Dog Meal | $6.49 | 560 | Small hot dog with small fries and a drink |
| Kids Cheese Dog (Ã la carte) | $5.49 | 360 | Small cheese dog on its own; the cheapest kids main |
| Grilled Cheese Meal | $6.49 | 570 | Grilled cheese with small fries and a drink; vegetarian |
| Kids Fries (small) | around $2.99–$3.49 | 250 | Small crinkle-cut fries on their own; approximate, varies by location |
| Kids Drink | Included with meal | 0–160 | Fountain drink, lemonade, or milk included with every kids meal |
Pro Diner Tip: the kids meals at $6.49 to $6.99 are the simplest way to feed a child at Shake Shack, because the fries and the drink are already included and there is no upsell to navigate. The Little Shack Burger Meal is the best of the three for a child who wants what the adults are eating, since it is a real ShackBurger in a smaller size. If your child is a light eater, the à la carte kids hamburger at $5.99 with a shared fries order is cheaper still, and it leaves room for a concrete afterwards.
Value analysis: kids meals run $6.49 to $6.99, which is less than a single adult ShackBurger on its own, and the included fries and drink make them the cheapest complete meals on the menu. Compared with ordering a small adult burger, fries, and a drink separately — which would run about $13 to $15 — a kids meal saves roughly half. For a family of four, two adult burgers with fries and two kids meals is the most budget-friendly way to eat at Shake Shack, and the kids cheese dog at $5.49 is the lowest-priced main of all.
Current Deals & Value Picks
Shake Shack does not sell combo meals, so the deals here are not bundles — they are app offers, a weekly Sunday deal, and the arithmetic of building a meal from the cheapest items. The Shack Rewards app carries member offers that change through the month, and the Sunday deal has run through the end of 2026. What follows is my shortlist of the orders that stretch a dollar furthest at the Shack this November.

Pro Diner Tip: the single best saving on this page is the Sunday deal — a free burger, Chick’n Shack, or Bites with a $10 online order on Sundays using the code SHACKSUNDAY, running through the end of 2026. Outside of Sundays, the savings come from sharing: one fries order between two people, one shake split between two, and a flat-top dog instead of a burger when the budget is tight. Download the Shack Rewards app before you go, because the member offers change through the month and the app is the only place they appear.
Value analysis: between them, these choices suit every sort of trip to the Shack. Eating alone? A flat-top dog with fries at around $11 to $13 is the lightest bill. Want the standard visit? A ShackBurger with fries and a drink runs about $15 to $17. Two of you? Split one fries order and one shake across two burgers. The Sunday deal is the only true discount on the board, and it is worth planning a visit around while it lasts. The official source for menus, locations, and the app is Shake Shack’s official site.

Shake Shack prices shift by market, and the Manhattan, airport, and stadium restaurants sit at the top of every range on this page, so treat the figures as typical November 2026 guide numbers rather than a fixed price for the Shack nearest you. Delivery orders add their own markup on top of the counter price, and menu items, seasonal concretes, and app offers can change or end without notice. Updated: November 2026.
