A well-made milkshake is a thing of beauty. Though they’re (obviously) known as frappes here in the Bay State, milkshakes are a staple of good, old-fashioned American diner food and there’s no place to get them like Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar in Somerville. Here’s why the milkshakes at this little city diner are the absolute best.

Rosbud's has been serving up diner classics since the 1940s, so they know a thing or two about milkshakes.

Rosebud's specializes in "boozy" shakes, which are just what they sound like: regular frappes with an alcoholic kick.

Of course, if you want your milkshakes rated PG, they're happy to hold the booze.

Chocolate and vanilla milkshakes are always on tap, but there's also a special weekly flavor that's usually pretty wild.
