The restaurant was conceived and developed by Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, which maintains a variety of restaurants in the Union Square area. The distinctive building was designed by Sculpture in the Environment, an architectural and environmental design firm based in Lower Manhattan.

Since its opening, Shake Shack has proven popular with New Yorkers, even garnering the distinction of being named "Best Burger 2005" by New York magazine.[1]. During the summer, the wait on line for service can stretch to over an hour, especially on weekends when the weather is pleasant. Their website has a webcam which shows the current line in real time. In 2007 the Shack began selling wine.
