1.) Classic Burger is 0.4 miles from campus. They’re strawberry milk shake is blended to perfection leaving chunks of strawberries still intact. Giving the milkshake an exquisite thick and creamy feel to it. You can also choose from chocolate or vanilla flavors. Not only can you get a delicious shake made with real ice cream. You can also get a variety of burgers, breakfast, and dinners. Drive-thru is available.

2.) Burger City Grill offers hand scooped shakes and is only 1.1 miles from campus. They offer the usual 3 flavors of strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. The Oreo cookie shake takes the cake.
