Shake Shack Harvard Square

First time trying Shake Shack. This was a great location. We were vising Boston for a few days and took the subway to Harvard. This spot made for a convenient lunch. The restaurant was fairly clean and had both indoor and outdoor seating. The upstairs seating was nice and quiet. I also liked the option to order via tablet. The burgers and fries were very good, as was the milkshake. I would definitely eat here again. The only negative was they didn't have a soda machine for refills.

Excellent choice for my group of 31. Really fast and friendly service. We had pre-ordered, everything was hot and ready to go when we walked in. Joseline, the manager and her staff did an amazing job. One of the best I've seen in 18 years of leading tours!

This was my first time trying Shake Shack, and it turned out to be a great experience. We were visiting Boston for a few days and decided to take the subway out to Harvard. This location made for a convenient and enjoyable lunch stop. The restaurant was fairly clean and offered both indoor and outdoor seating options, which was a nice touch. I especially appreciated the quiet atmosphere upstairs — it was a comfortable spot to relax and enjoy our meal away from the busier areas. Another highlight was the option to order through a tablet, making the whole process quick and easy. Overall, this Shake Shack location provided a pleasant dining experience, and I’d definitely consider coming back the next time I’m in the area. 🍔 Burgers 100% all-natural Angus beef.

Shake Shack is a large chain of restaurants focusing on quick service burgers and fries, alongside a wide variety of shakes as their name represents. The staff moves quick and is able to make the burgers efficiently, and there is a mobile pickup window on street level to get orders quickly. We got the shack burgers, spicy fries, and bacon cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was good, not that greasy, though on the smaller side for the price. The spicy fries were good, though the coating wasn't on every fry and dusted on after, so some fries were loaded with spice while others didn't have much. Very consistent with other locations and tasted good.
