This place needs to work on customer service I order from DoorDash when they opened and was told that my order will be ready in five minutes mind you one of the drivers that went to pick up my order. Waited for 15 to 20 minutes for my … More

Too expensive for bland food. Customers put their order in, seat themselves, wait for their food to be brought to the table. The front staff was pleasant but the lady behind the kitchen counter would yell rude comments to the front staff to … More

As local customers of this restaurant chain, we were surprised and disappointed during a recent visit to the Plaza location. We were walking in the area with a pregnant friend, and she told us that she was not allowed to use the restroom by … More

You don't get meals. A la carte sides. They have tablets by the entrance to order, however, which I found this annoying and frustrating, was that if there's an item that's no longer on the menu, it doesn't tell you. It just gives you an … More

Placed an order on line. Arrived at location to pick up order in window, saw 3 bags sitting on counter the lady stated after only looking at ONE of the bags my order was not ready yet. I sat down for 10 mins came BACK to the counter asked about my order again STILL Nothing. I stood there for an Additional 5 MORE minutes. Was asked by a different lady my order name and My order was actually the 3rd large sealed bag I had been looking at from the beginning sitting on the counter by the cooks. So I politely Thanked the Lady for my order and took my Cold Burger and left! This place is WAY TOO Small for the amount of traffic they have and the people serving up the orders don't make the company look any better. The gentle with the glasses and beard was The Most Professional, Pleasant, Helpful, Kind, Organized worker in the Entire facility. Thank you Sir, He also asked about my order and was told there was Nothing when it was sitting there the entire time. I believe he even inquired with the cooks but, the lady withe the curly hair and glasses was giving him a Death Stare so I don't think he wanted to Step on anyone's toes. He was Great ! I think I'm done ordering from this location even though it's a short drive for my lunch break. The inconsideration is too much !

Stopped in for lunch with my kids and grandson. The atmosphere was was bright, cozy, and clean. The lady who greeted us was very accommodating, getting my toddler aged grandson crayons and paper for keeping him busy while we ordered our food. The service was quick and the food was delicious! Everyone was happy and we will definitely be back 😃

Burgers are always good 👍🏽 A little pricey as everything is individually priced and not as a meal. It’s worth it though. Night two burgers, fries, and shakes for about a good $45. This location is in Country Club in KCMO by all shopping … More

My husband and I visited Shake Shack this past Monday when the weather was less than stellar. Upon entry, we were greeted. The person taking our order was courteous and polite and extremely helpful while we ordered since it was our first visit. There was an all female crew working that day, which was surprising. All were kind and courteous and attended to all our needs. Later we found out the woman behind the cash register was the GM. There weren’t many people inside the restaurant due to the poor weather conditions and we were pleasantly surprised that the employees thought enough of us the come out and hold a conversation with us. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted excellent. We received great customer service and they thank us for coming in as we left. We will definitely return soon!
