DINING AROUND TOWN
SHAKE IT
OFF! The newest contender in town, Steak and Shake has a lot to live up to. From what we’ve heard, the steak burgers are doing okay, but we’ve got to admit the shakes are doing better. And the diner interior is nothing to slouch at.
Beat the summer heat with the best shakes in the city. By Jou Pabalate
A big part of us believe that they pretty much buy their ice cream from Baskin Robbins, but we have to give them credit for making thick minimalistic shakes that are great, especially paired with their fries. Well it should be, right? Considering they call themselves a burger, fries and shake joint.
This franchise has a reputation to uphold. At a time when hand-scooped shakes weren’t a thing, Johnny Rockets had them. The team swears by the chocolate peanut butter concoction. In our opinion, Johnny Rockets’ shakes are best consumed in the diner ambience. It just adds to the whole 50’s feel.

This original Saudi café that has gone global has one of the most interesting locally gourmet menus we’ve seen. The Bateel date shake makes us happy. They’re made from vanilla ice cream, milk and rhutab dates. Sings, “I’m so fancy, can’t you taste this gold?”
