Shake Shack Union Station

Solid shake shack experience, reasonably proximate to all the sightseeing that I did in DC yesterday. I’m a huge fan of the burger and don’t get it often, so I got a double with bacon. I regret nothing. The fries were perfectly fluffy and the drink not so bad. The whole combo was expensive. But every now and then, worth it.

After a long day of sightseeing during my recent first trip to Washington DC and being that i was completely exhausted from being in the heat, I needed to get something to eat while waiting for my train at Union Station. So that's when I saw a Shake Shack at Union Station, and I immediately chose there to eat. And it definitely hit the spot. The bacon cheeseburger and spicy cheese fries were amazing!! It didn't take long for the food to come out, and it definitely was fresh. I also got a shake, and that was definitely the cherry on top of everything. It was an oreo funnel cake shake, and wow, it was one of the best shakes I've ever had! The service was not bad. I came around closing time, and the employees were in closing mode, but they weren't really rushing me. Out of all the fast food places that are at Union Station, I'm glad I chose Shake Shack.

This location of Shake Shack is just like the others. The environment is moderately clean, and the staff is very helpful. However, you cannot order ahead at this location using the app, which was quite inefficient. Furthermore, they do not have a barcode scanner, which meant that we couldn’t use the gift card we had. Overall, it’s a good Shake Shack location, but has a downside in paying/ordering methods.

Maybe it was because I was starving and wouldn't be able to get food for the next three hours but this location was the best Shake Shack I've been too. My go to burger is the Shack Stack and it was perfect. The patty was nice and juicy and the mushroom was hot and gooey. The fries were piping and crispy and my strawberry shake really hit the spot. Definitely stop by before your journey.

This past Saturday evening January 21 2023, I chose to order and consume some food from inside the Shake Shack location of union station metro of Washington DC (that is on Massachusetts avenue). I chose to have the shack stack ( an angus beef cheeseburger with "shack sauce" coupled with a crisp fried portobello mushroom with muenster and cheddar cheeses) lettuce tomato with cheese fries and a small rootbeer. The food was appetizing and was luckily given to me in a generous portion size for the price I paid, plus the employees I interacted with for ordering and receiving my food were polite.

Thanks again Romano for providing such excellent service and high quality food…and of course the delicious shakes!!! He took the time to educate me more on the Shake Shack brand in regards to the high standards for what goes into the delicious burgers they provide. Overall great experience and pretty convenient, clean and friendly location!!! Stop by and see for yourself!!!! Most of the food and shake are already in digestion town 😊 IG: @masterpeace_beauty
