Want to visit a Shake Shack location but need the allergen menu first? I gotcha.
Shake Shack came into popularity because of its amazing ShackBurger. But that’s not the only thing the restaurant is good at. It also specializes in chicken burgers, frozen custards, fries, and many more.
One other nice thing you will love about Shake Shack if you’re a first-timer is how each location customizes the drinks to suit the local flavors of the city it is located in.

This article details a full list of all Shake Shack offerings and their allergen information.
About Shake Shack
Shake Shack started as a small hot dog cart but has now blown up into a big fast-casual restaurant. Danny Meyer started serving Chicago-style hot dogs from a cart in 2001 in Madison Square Park.
In 2004, the restaurant received a license to open a better kiosk in the park. Afterward, it added hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, frozen custards, chicken, and milkshakes to its menu.
Shake Shack primarily serves the United States (over 220 locations), with its headquarters in New York City. But it also has over 100 locations across other countries like the United Kingdom, Japan, China, Mexico, Turkey, Singapore, and the UAE.
Furthermore, while each city has the Shake Shack signature milkshakes, you can also enjoy a variety of unique local flavors when you order beverages.
When does Shake Shack open for the day?
Shake Shack opens at 11 a.m. in most of its locations. A few locations open at 10:30 a.m.
Most Shake Shack locations are open until 10 p.m. or even midnight. You may also find locations that close earlier than 10 p.m. In essence, the operating hours vary with location.
I’ll advise you to use the Shake Shack map of locations on the official website to locate the restaurant nearest to you.
The map provides information on the operating hours, the address, the order types, and directions to the restaurant.

Does Shake Shack have dairy-free items?
Yes, it does, but they are limited.
The restaurant recently launched some dairy-free chocolate frozen custard and a chocolate milkshake. But they are not available all year round.
If you would rather have dairy-free milkshakes or frozen custard, Shake Shack is not the place for you. However, if you’re not all about the treats, you can have fries, gluten-free buns, and burger patties.
How to order from Shake Shack
Ordering meals from Shake Shack is not a big task. Just like many restaurants out there, Shake Shack allows customers to make orders from the comfort of their offices or homes through the official website or the Shack mobile app.
Either platform has both pickup and delivery options. The details required are your city, state, zip code, and choice of meals. After these steps, proceed to checkout with your choice of payment.
In addition, you can get meals from Shake Shack through any of their food delivery partners like DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Postmates.
Before you make your order, confirm that there is a Shake Shack location around you and it is available to offer delivery services.
Does Shake Shack offer catering services?
No, it does not.
Shake Shack does not offer true catering services but can take large orders if you give them all the necessary details.
To know the cost of any large order, contact the restaurant nearest to you or reach out to share@shakeshack.com.
The restaurant also makes Shack Truck available to cater for your private events or weddings. Check the official website to book the Shack Truck for your next event.
FAQs
Can you eat at Shake Shack with a peanut allergy?
Yes, you can.
Shake Shack does not use peanuts or any of its products in the preparation of any of its meal offerings.
However, some of the meals may be prepared in the same facilities; there is possible cross-contamination with peanuts. But, it is not enough to trigger an allergic reaction.
What oil does Shake Shack use for the fries?
Shake Shack uses canola oil for the fries. Frying occurs at 350°F until a golden crisp texture is achieved.
Is Shake Shack safe for celiacs?
Shake Shack is not 100% safe for celiacs.
The gluten-free options are very few, and there is a risk of cross-contamination. The restaurant offers gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps.
However, people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) should stay off the fries. Although they are gluten-free, the oil used in frying them is filtered with the same oil the mushrooms are filtered in.
Conclusion
Shake Shack is the place to be to satisfy your cravings for shakes. Be sure to get the best when you visit. Make your visit worth it by picking your meals with the help of the allergen menu.
At Shake Shack, you won’t get an exclusive menu for your restrictive diet but you can customize your meals by removing and replacing ingredients.
