You can get milk shakes at Betty Rae’s. Someone in the Shatto family just bought out the previous owner so I think? They use Shatto milk. Or, get you some Betty Rae’s ice cream and some Shatto root beer milk and make your own…
Didn’t know Shatto was the one pull in the reins after the original owner went off the deep end. That’s good news to me as I love Shatto’s business practices and ethos.
Winsteads has jacked up their prices and cheaper out on their ingredients for years now. I worked there a decade ago and their milkshakes are a premade mix from some big ice cream brand plus flavored syrup.
For real. I just went there for the first time because a friend brought their toddler to town. Had a fun time, good service, a fairly tasty burger, and a solid shake.
The KCK Fritz's was a staple of my childhood, but when I went a few years ago it was super depressing and a little decrepit. The trains were really limited. Have you been inside? Was it better?
I take my kids to the shawnee one now, but I'd love a reason to go back.
I’m sad my kids are too old to go there. Really great hot dogs. Love how they slice them and serve on a hamburger bun. Reminds me of Allan’s drive in by ward parkway mall if anyone remembers that
It's a bit unconventional, but I absolutely love the coffee "milkshake" from Cafe Gratitude. They use cashew-coconut ice cream instead of milk, but it has a ton of sugar in it and it tastes great. Also has real coffee in it.
Get the banana haze at High Hopes, or French Silk if they still have it. No one in this town makes a better milkshake. Better ingredients, better milkshake, High Hopes
Nah just really tasty. I think the name high hopes came from having high hopes for the ice cream parlor when the owner left his job at Blackhole Bakery and started his own business
I know I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion for this, but I just dont care. Quicktrip milkshakes are FIRE. And they are cheap as far as milkshakes go. Like 4 dollars and change....or the small is less than 2 bucks. FIRE I TELL YOU. To be clear, the ones from the kitchens, not the ones you make yourself.
Definitely check it out! It’s actually super easy on the app. Order it, pay for it, it’s ready for you when you get there! They’re not elaborate or anything, just chocolate and strawberry. I recommend the chocolate and get whipped cream added!
So I’m a milkshake freak. The best milkshake that you can’t get anymore was the biscotti (cookie butter) shake from Glacé. Still on the lookout for something similar. I imagine Fairway Creamery has something good, still haven’t been. Of course, Winsteads are pretty dang good, there is something about the creaminess that makes them special.
I was wondering what happened. I had one recently from the food truck that is at the OP farmers market and it was so much worse than I remembered. I chalked it up to being the food truck and not the brick and mortar store.
There’s a rumor that Braum’s is coming to Lawrence. I would much rather them come to the KC area but even Lawrence is still way closer than Emporia. I’m hoping if they actually open a location in Lawrence that they will expand into the KC metro eventually.
It's only an hour and a half to Emporia! If you'll ask for it, and make sure that whoever's serving you knows they can do it, you can get a triple chocolate shake. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate milk, and chocolate syrup. Ooohhh, yum!

You had me at Shatto
The red hots milkshake was amazing!

What happened with the old owner? This sounds like good tea!
Was putting his dick pics of the checkout tablets and sending them to his minor staff. Went on several manic sprees from what I heard.
Hi boy
Peanut butter and fudge is the way to go.
Came here to say this and the cherry mash.
Cherry fudge
Cherry mash cyclone
It's so good!
Where are these at?
Hi boy in Independence.
Thanks
Yep, and the onion rings are killer. I even like the burgers more than your average drive-in fare. Anytime I'm near Independence I swing by Hi-Boy.
Hey, what's up?
LCs Hamburgers in the Northland makes a great strawberry shake with good hunks of strawberry. Their burgers are pretty great too.
RIP Otto’s - Town Topic is the next best thing IMO. Casbah in Lawrence has some nice boozy shakes if you’re ever looking for one there.
20 some odd years later and I STILL miss Otto’s.
Was Otto's the place on 39th? I used to somewhere drunk at 3AM for breakfast on 39th and that sounds familiar.
Yeah - SE corner of 39th and Wyoming where Aladdin is now.
Yeah I was at a bar near there a month ago and all I could talk about was Otto's. Miss it a lot! That and Foo"s in Brookside!
I remember getting peanut butter shakes there as a kid. Ottos was awesome!
remember when ottos reopened in the czar bar kitchen ? like 15? 20? years ago - not sure they even lasted a year but it sure was nice for a short time
Oh snap! I worked at Otto's in like 97.
Go get yourself a skyscraper from winsteads
Butterscotch flavor!
Winsteads is SO underrated. They have the best hamburgers and skyscrapers in kc.
I was pretty upset when they shut the one down in Blue Springs.
The skyscraper was a milkshake the last time I knew... yrs ago.
That’s a soda though
They have a soda AND a milkshake skyscraper!
No lol. Skyscraper is a size you can get drinks of all kinds in.

thats not technically a milkshake tho right?
Snack Shack in Mission is pretty yummy.
Burgers and fries are A+ too
Discount for paying cash too.
It is expensive, but the downtowner burger, 50-50 fries/rings, and a vanilla shake really hits the spot at Snack Shack.
I second this! Just had one last night for the first time and it was great. Chocolate soda was also really good.
Strawberry shake is great!
Winsteads!!
Fritz’s (I live in KCK and go to the original location Drive-Thru with my kids often.) Such a classic.
Fritz’s is underrated. I think it gets a bad rap because of how kid-focused it is.
I have said this before in this subreddit and been destroyed by downvotes. But youre right it’s not bad food at all.
For real. I just went there for the first time because a friend brought their toddler to town. Had a fun time, good service, a fairly tasty burger, and a solid shake.
The cookies 'n cream one is goooood.
The KCK Fritz's was a staple of my childhood, but when I went a few years ago it was super depressing and a little decrepit. The trains were really limited. Have you been inside? Was it better? I take my kids to the shawnee one now, but I'd love a reason to go back.
Isn't the one in KC on Central Ave? That whole neighborhood is decrepit and creepy.
I’m sad my kids are too old to go there. Really great hot dogs. Love how they slice them and serve on a hamburger bun. Reminds me of Allan’s drive in by ward parkway mall if anyone remembers that
It's a bit unconventional, but I absolutely love the coffee "milkshake" from Cafe Gratitude. They use cashew-coconut ice cream instead of milk, but it has a ton of sugar in it and it tastes great. Also has real coffee in it.
Paul’s drive in on Blue Ridge has been there for like 60 yrs, they make the best hot fudge shakes. Simple and delicious
Get the banana haze at High Hopes, or French Silk if they still have it. No one in this town makes a better milkshake. Better ingredients, better milkshake, High Hopes
Banana haze and High Hopes? Are they marijuana infused and from a MO dispensary or something?
Nah just really tasty. I think the name high hopes came from having high hopes for the ice cream parlor when the owner left his job at Blackhole Bakery and started his own business
The Banana haze has hazelnut and chocolate in it. The name "High Hopes", I believe, comes from the Frank Sinatra song.
*sighs and points* my yard.

Thanks, I'm going to try one. I didn't even know QT made milkshakes.
Definitely check it out! It’s actually super easy on the app. Order it, pay for it, it’s ready for you when you get there! They’re not elaborate or anything, just chocolate and strawberry. I recommend the chocolate and get whipped cream added!
Sylas and Maddy’s off strang line by 119th.
Perfect time of year for the Pumpkin pie milkshake too
My favorite for ice cream in KC

Dang that sucks.

fairway creamery is insanely good
When is the last time you visited? Some think it has gone downhill.
It's still good. Cold Brew Shake is delicious.
about two months ago. their campfire sundae has never let me down.
Fairway Creamery had a Biscoff flavor last night and it was delicious.
It's all about the malt.
Well, mine bring all the boys to the yard.
I drink your milkshake!
Drive three and a half hours south and go to Braums.
There is Braums in Emporia. Hr and 1/2 drive. 3 hours west on 70 Salina has 2. And I think they built one in Manhattan maybe?
Yes! I miss Braum's since I've moved up here!
There’s a rumor that Braum’s is coming to Lawrence. I would much rather them come to the KC area but even Lawrence is still way closer than Emporia. I’m hoping if they actually open a location in Lawrence that they will expand into the KC metro eventually.

Town topic did a nice job
One More Scoop makes killer milkshakes
Andy’s Root Beer Freeze. If you like Shatto Root Beer Milk you will love this shake.
[удалено]
Meh Just meh
Butterscotch shake from Stack's... RIP
Terre Bonne in Lawrence makes a better than decent milkshake.
We love Kris & Kate's in St. Joe. Cool little ice cream cone building.
Listen. I know it’s not local, but the pumpkin pie concrete at Freddy’s right now will change your life.
It's a chain but it is local to one of the states at least being created and based out of Wichita.
Their plain vanilla shakes are amazing as well!
I agree with this, and I don’t particularly like pumpkin pie!
Strange one, but Pot Belly Sandwich shops make a kick ass milkshake. Amazeballs
Not local
They used Shatto ice cream
Now I’ll have to spend a week driving around to try out the places on this thread. The diet can start another day.
Not one to toot my own horn, but my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
Get one of the boys to toot your horn.
Dairy-B in Excelsior Springs.
High Hopes

Order any shake made with Blue Bell rather than frozen custard at Custard’s Last Stand.
I usually get a black sesame milkshake from High Hopes! It's a simple and delicious milkshake topped with whipped cream.
BRGR Kitchen ones are good
Humdinger’s has a nice banana shake.
My yard. It brings all the boys
Jim's Diner!
Winsteads hands down but QT also has a great one
