Milkshakes at Small Batch Beer Co.
“Shake Shack” - David F. | The closest one is an hour away in Huntersville, but we also have incredible burgers and shakes at local spots like Cin Cin Burger Bar and Small Batch Beer Co!
“Sneaky Pickle” - Veronica K. | Locally sourced ingredients and great ambiance make this New Orleans restaurant and bar Veronica’s top pick. After looking it up, we’re pretty big fans ourselves.
