Shake Shack Menu Calories & Nutrition 2026
Shake Shack calories range from 500 for a single ShackBurger to 1,160 for the Loaded Chocolate Cookies & Cream Shake. A classic shake lands around 680 to 850 calories, and a regular order of crinkle-cut fries adds roughly 470. The lowest-calorie regular menu item is the plain hamburger at 370 calories.
I looked into this because Shake Shack does not exactly feel like a health-food spot, right? The burgers, the custard shakes, the cheese fries, everything is built for flavor. But the numbers are all over the place, and knowing them before you walk in makes a real difference. Whether you are counting calories or just curious, here is the full breakdown, pulled from Shake Shack’s own nutrition reports. Want the dollar side too?

How Many Calories Does a ShackBurger Have?
A single ShackBurger has 500 calories. Go for the double and you are looking at 760. Honestly, for a cheeseburger with that buttery potato bun and ShackSauce, 500 is not outrageous. It’s right in the middle of the fast-casual pack.
The ShackBurger is the one most people order, so it anchors everything. But the burger lineup stretches a lot further than that, and some of the doubles are genuinely hefty.
Shake Shack Burger Calories
| Item | Details | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Single ShackBurger | Angus beef, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce, potato bun | 500 |
| Double ShackBurger | Two patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, ShackSauce | 760 |
| Single Hamburger | Angus beef, no cheese, on a potato bun | 370 |
| Double Hamburger | Two patties, no cheese | 560 |
| Single Cheeseburger | Angus beef, American cheese, no sauce | 440 |
| Double Cheeseburger | Two patties, two slices of cheese | 700 |
| ‘Shroom Burger | Crisp-fried portobello stuffed with melted cheese | 510 |
| Shack Stack | Cheeseburger patty stacked with a ‘Shroom Burger | 770 |
| Single SmokeShack | Bacon, cherry peppers, ShackSauce | 570 |
| Double SmokeShack | Double patty with bacon and cherry peppers | 830 |
Notice something fun? The ‘Shroom Burger, the vegetarian pick, lands at 510 calories. That is basically identical to the ShackBurger. The veggie choice is not really a light choice here, it just tastes different. And that Shack Stack? A whole cheeseburger plus a fried portobello at 770 calories is a full commitment.
How Many Calories Are in a Shake Shack Shake?
A classic Shake Shack shake runs from 680 calories (vanilla) to 750 (chocolate), while the loaded specialty shakes climb as high as 1,160. The shakes are the sneaky calorie bombs of this menu. A single chocolate shake can have more calories than your burger.
Here’s the thing. These are frozen custard shakes made with real sugar, no corn syrup, and whole milk from dairy farmers. They are dense. Delicious, but dense. If you are pairing a shake with fries and a burger, just know the math before you commit.
Shake Shack Shake Calories
| Item | Details | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Vanilla Shake | Classic vanilla frozen custard | 680 |
| Chocolate Shake | Classic chocolate frozen custard | 750 |
| Strawberry Shake | Made with real strawberries | 690 |
| Coffee Shake | Coffee-flavored frozen custard | 700 |
| Vanilla & Chocolate Shake | Half and half swirl | 720 |
| Black & White Shake | Vanilla custard with chocolate fudge | 770 |
| Salted Caramel Shake | Caramel with a salt kick | 840 |
| Cookies & Cream Shake | Crushed cookies blended in | 850 |
| Bourbon Salted Honey Shake | Bourbon caramel and salted honey drizzle | 890 |
| Chocolate Birthday Cake Shake | Loaded specialty shake | 1,060 |
| Cornflake Chocolate Drizzle Shake | Loaded specialty shake | 1,090 |
| Loaded Chocolate Cookies & Cream | The heaviest shake on the menu | 1,160 |
Worth noting: the nutrition numbers exclude whipped cream and the optional malt add-in (about 90 extra calories). If you say yes to malt, tack that on.
What’s the Lowest Calorie Meal at Shake Shack?
The lowest calorie meal at Shake Shack is a plain single hamburger (370 calories) with a small lemonade (about 150), totaling roughly 520 calories. Skip the cheese and sauce, and that is about as light as a Shack visit gets while still feeling like a real meal.
There is no grilled chicken here, no big salad bar, no wrap menu. Shake Shack is a smash-burger and frozen-custard joint, so “light” is relative. That said, a few smart swaps cut a surprising amount:
- Order the single hamburger instead of the ShackBurger. Dropping the cheese and ShackSauce saves 130 calories right there.
- Pick lemonade or a soft drink over a shake. A small lemonade is around 150 calories versus 680 plus for any shake. That one swap can cut your meal nearly in half.
- Skip the cheese fries. Cheese fries jump well past the regular crinkle-cut fries, which run about 470 for a full order.
- Go bun-less if your location allows it. Some Shacks will serve the patty lettuce-wrapped on request, which shaves off the potato bun’s calories.
Shake Shack Fries, Chicken Sandwiches and Sides: Calories
Crinkle-cut fries are the default order, and a regular serving runs about 470 calories. The cheese fries climb from there, and the bacon cheese fries are the heaviest side on the board. The Hot Chick’n sandwich lands at 710 calories, a cayenne-dusted crispy chicken breast with slaw and pickles.
Don’t forget the sides quietly stack up. Fries plus a shake on top of a burger is where meals balloon fast, so these numbers matter more than most people expect.
| Item | Details | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Crinkle-Cut Fries | Regular serving, the classic side | 470 |
| Cheese Fries | Crinkle-cut fries with cheese sauce | 685 |
| Hot Chick’n | Crispy chicken breast, cayenne and guajillo spice, slaw, pickles | 710 |
| Lemonade (small) | House-made lemonade | 150 |
| Malt Add-In | Optional shake add-in | 90 |
| Whipped Cream | Optional shake topping | 70 |
Where Can I Find the Official Shake Shack Nutrition PDF?
Shake Shack publishes its full nutrition information on the official website at shakeshack.com, and the downloadable nutrition PDF lists calories, fat, carbs, sodium and protein for every item, including limited-time shakes. It is the most reliable source, because third-party calorie sites sometimes lag behind menu changes.
The in-store menu boards also display calorie counts, so you can check while you are in line. If you have an allergy question, ask the crew directly, since fryers are shared and Shake Shack cannot guarantee any item is completely free of the major FDA allergens.
