Shake Shack
About
The Harvard Square Shake Shack opened in January 2014 as the second Shake Shack in the Boston area. The New York-born chain serves its classic burgers, hot dogs, fries, shakes and frozen custard here, along with frozen custard concretes created just for this location. Two of those local concretes pay tribute to Harvard and MIT, the universities that anchor Cambridge’s academic life.
When it opened, the Cambridge shop was the first Shack to serve the chain’s then-new fresh, hand-cut fries. Shake Shack began in 2001 as a hot dog cart in New York’s Madison Square Park, run by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, and opened its first permanent Shack there in 2004. Its menu centers on made-to-order Angus beef burgers and frozen custard.
