A milkshake is one of the best indulgences you can enjoy this side of childhood – and if you pair it with a killer cheeseburger and a gaggle of friends, you’ve owned the day. Tennessee has quite a few fabulous places that are perfect for a milkshake break, and we’ve created a six hour road trip that will take you from the west side of the state right to the heart of Music City. Grab some folks and make the trip for yourself with our map!
Considered the "best shake in town," Penny Hill Shoppe has taken Union City by storm. Pop a quarter in the jukebox and settle in, because you're about to get sent back in time. (131 E Jackson Street)
The milkshakes at Sweden Kream are made with real ice cream, making them some of the best in the city. You can grab a burger and complete your meal with fries, or just indulge in a chocolate, creamy treat - it's up to you. (1472 National Street)
This fun Jackson eatery is bound to have you nostalgic as soon as you walk in the door. Set up like a 19th century general store, Brooks has an ice cream parlor that serves up the best milkshake in Jackson. You can visit for yourself at 56 Casey Jones Lane.
The prices at Soda Pop Junction are easy on the wallet and the food is pretty fabulous on the tongue. Their milkshakes are a great way to top off your marinated chicken salad or cheeseburger - plus, the fun ambience adds to the experience. (141 Mill Street)
Elliston Place Soda Shop has made quite a name for itself here in Nashville. A fun step back in time, you get an old fashioned milkshake with ALL the extra brought out to you, as well. Or maybe you're in the mood for a malt? No matter what your tastebuds are saying, this is a prime time stop if you're in Music City. (2111 Elliston Place)
The Grilled Cheeserie is still one of the most popular food trucks in the city, but they have just recently opened up their brick and mortar store in Hillsboro Village. One walk down their milkshake bar and all your childhood dreams will come true - really. Make the masterpiece your heart desires. (2003 Belcourt Avenue)
