Key Highlights of the Uptown Plaza Location
The Shake Shack experience at 100 E Camelback Rd is defined by several standout features that contribute to its popularity and enduring appeal. These elements showcase the brand’s commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction:
Commitment to Premium Ingredients: A core tenet of the Shake Shack promise is the unwavering focus on sourcing the best components for every item on the menu. This includes using 100% all-natural Angus beef, never frozen, ensuring that every burger delivers maximum flavor and tenderness. This dedication to quality forms the foundation of their culinary reputation.
Diverse Menu Offerings Beyond Burgers: While the ShackBurger is iconic, the menu extends far beyond traditional beef offerings. Patrons can explore delicious alternatives such as the ShackBurger’s chicken counterparts, satisfying vegetarian options, and a rotating selection of seasonal specials. This variety ensures there is something appealing for nearly every palate.
Signature Frozen Custard Program: A visit is often incomplete without indulging in their renowned frozen custard. Made fresh daily, the texture and richness of the custard stand apart from standard ice cream. The menu typically features their classic vanilla and chocolate flavors, alongside unique "Concrete" creations blended with mix-ins, providing a perfect sweet finish to any meal.

It reflects Shake Shack’s broader mission to create a modern roadside stand that fosters community connection. The environment is energetic yet comfortable, making it an ideal spot for casual dining and catching up with friends or colleagues in the central Phoenix area.

I loved the food. To me, the burger flavor was right up there with The Habit, Five Guys, Smashburger, or Mooyah. The only issue was that part of the bottom of my bun was very thin/missing, but it was still good. We had bacon cheese fries … More

We were standing in line for the Connected store—you know how the staff arrives early to set everything up. We’d been waiting so long that one of the women came out to start opening the store, and we asked if we could at least grab some drinks. I mean, we’d been outside since 5 a.m. She said, “Of course,” and honestly… what a beautiful morning.

10/26/24 - Short version: had a craving for a burger & fries this particular Saturday so we decided to give Shake Shack a shot. We did, won't do it again. It was okay, just not worth a return visit.
Longer version: got there shortly before 3 o'clock. Since it's part of a strip mall, parking was not a problem.
They do have seating outside, on the south and west side but we opted to sit inside to avoid traffic noise. The seating is very uncomfortable, however, in that it seems the sole purpose is utilitarian (just a place to set your butt) and not about comfort. I guess they want you in and out. Metal seating does nothing for my a$$ except make it sore. :-)
I will say the burgers had a much better presentation than McDonald's and Burger King's, meaning they were not flat as a pancake. As you can see from the pics, they had mass to them.
The fries and truffle fries were almost identical in flavor, the only reason the one tasted better was all due to the truffle dip.
The restaurant was running a pretty tight ship. Service was pretty quick, and we kept seeing what we assumed was the manager walking all over the place delivering food & doing some clean up. There were three self-order kiosks you could use (one was down), as well as ordering at the counter ... if you don't mind waiting for them to get off their phones and take your order.
The shakes were pretty good, nice and thick.

So this place is really good but very expensive for what you get. I paid $25 for a double cheeseburger bacon cheese fries and a drink... I didn't get a shake because I would have been over $30 for lunch and that is kinda crazy. But the food is good just a little greasy but good. I just can't justify the price. If you want this style burger try Freddys or in and out. But if you have the money this place is definitely bomb. The service is absolutely amazing though for sure and it's really clean inside.

I ordered off of postmates yesterday and got a chicken sandwich that was stale burnt and uncooked all at the same time. The chicken was a literal hard ball, avocado was an avocado half cut not even sliced, the buns taste burnt. Also asked for two cheese sauces on the side and only received one. More

got an avacado bacon burger and my bacon was 100% raw. we took it to the front to let them know and their first response wasn't "i'm sorry let me fix that" but was "ok so? what do you want me to do about it?" let's start with cooking your meat properly before serving it. interesting interaction. interesting response.

Yesterday we went to another shake shack we totally loved it. Today we came to this location. They gave us bad avocado with my burger.I went up to the counter to tell them and they gave me this avocado you see in the picture. The avocado they initially gave me was worse. You can taste the old oil in the nuggets. It was really disappointing. Not coming back to this location.
The restrooms were really clean. And the restaurant was clean as well.

Great food and great shakes, just as you would expect from a place like this. The location is clean and has nice modern decor. Efficient registers for orders. Online order pickup area. While it gets busy here in waves, the staff goes through crowds in a swift and polite manner. Definitely a good spot to visit. More

Bradley Stevenson was terrific. I don’t remember you having floor attendants before. He was spectacular because he checked in a couple time and then asked if I would like my drink topped off before leaving. I have always loved your food! And I recommend that you have floor attendants at every store and Bradley should train them.

I’m so happy I live within a mile of this location. Has to be the best Shake Shack in Arizona hands down! I eat here at least 3 times a week. The customer service and attention to the little things make this store shine. I honestly feel like family every time I go in. From the cooks to those who finish your order, they go above every time. Amazing! The GM Leslie is so welcoming and just a wonderful human being. I appreciate you all.

I’m a big fan of Shake Shack, but this Uptown Plaza location felt a bit off. The setup is nice—there’s a large parking lot, plenty of indoor seating, and a dog-friendly patio. You can order at the counter or use the self-service tablets, which is convenient.
I had the Shroom Burger with a patty and cheese fries. The burger was delicious, but the fries didn’t taste as fresh or flavorful as usual.
What stood out most was the service—the staff seemed overworked and not very enthusiastic. I really hope management works on boosting morale or supporting their team better. A good crew makes all the difference.

The food at this location is generally solid. The quality is consistent most of the time, and their standards in that department seem to be well-maintained. And from time to time this location could be a lot more cleaner, but that’s not the reason for my review at this time.
The real issue, however, is the customer service at the front counter. When you walk in, you’re often met with an unfriendly stare if you approach the register, and staff will try to redirect you to the self-checkout kiosk instead. That sets a poor tone right from the moment you enter.
It would be different if the kiosk were simply an optional convenience for guests in a hurry. But more often than not, there is no one actively present at the register unless you stand there long enough to make it clear that you want actual human interaction. This creates an awkward and uncomfortable experience for customers.
This location serves a large amount of school-age traffic, so kiosks make sense for the younger crowd. But please don’t forget the rest of your customers who still prefer traditional service. We shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience for wanting face-to-face interaction — that’s where real customer service happens.
Thank you.

A great place for burgers and shakes but did you know "The Shake Shack " has a rich history. They originally started as a New York hot dogs cart and evolved into a Global business who's mission statement is to "Stand For Something Good." They only use premium quality ingredients and are heavily involved in raising funds for public art projects. We took advantage of their Black Truffle Tax promotion to get a free Black Truffle Burger or fries with a minimum purchase of $10.40 what a delicious tax return!
My Truffle Burger was juicy and the truffle burger sauce , crispy onions, and Gruyere cheese made this burgers rich flavor profile but hurry today's the last day!
