Shake Shack, the critically acclaimed, modern day “roadside” burger stand founded by restaurateur Danny Meyer, will join nearly 20 food establishments opening at The Wharf this fall (including Del Mar by Fabio and Maria Trabocchi, Requin by Mike Isabella and Jennifer Carroll, a three-story Italian market and restaurant by Nick Stefanelli, Blue Bottle, and much more). Shake Shack’s Wharf Street location is approximately 3,500-square-feet, includes an interior mezzanine and outdoor waterfront seating.

“Just as Shake Shack has revolutionized the burger culture in this country, The Wharf is set to transform the nation’s capital in ways it has never seen before,” said Monty Hoffman Founder and CEO of PN Hoffman.” The waterfront is exuberant and Shake Shack plays a big role in this transformation.”

The Shake Shack menu will feature ingredients from local purveyors from the District in addition to Shack classics and frozen custard confections.

Like all of the brand’s locations, The Wharf Shack will be constructed with recycled and sustainable materials. Booths will be made from lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, and tabletops will be made from reclaimed bowling alley lanes from New York-based CounterEvolution. Shake Shack construction aligns with The Wharf’s commitment to building a sustainable neighborhood and lasting waterfront community designed to achieve LEED® ND Gold.
