We don’t mind saying it: whomever said milkshakes are a warm weather treat was quite simply wrong. If you don’t agree, then just consult your taste buds for a second opinion. Fortunately, in South Carolina there are few months with frigid temps anyway, making it even easier to slurp down a delicious, creamy treat all year long. Here are some of our favorite spots for milkshakes in the Palmetto State – how soon can you get to them all?
- Carmella’s Cafe and Dessert Bar - Charleston
TripAdvisor/travelsafer
TripAdvisor/Trixtravels A fine dessert after a satisfying meal in historic Charleston is pretty much a must when visiting the Holy City. And if you’re looking for an “adult milkshake” that combines creamy ice cream with a nightcap beverage into a tall dessert glass… this is the place to go! Delicious! It’s open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Find it at 198 E Bay St. #100, Charleston, SC 29401.
- BisQit - Pawleys Island

TripAdvisor/Jamie S Known for their burgers and shakes, BisQit is a can’t-miss when in or passing through Pawleys Island. And since they’re open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner… you can order up one of their sweet treats for breakfast - if you want! It’s open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Find it in the Hammock Shops Village at 10880 Ocean Hwy., Pawleys Island, SC 29585.
- Grill Marks - Greenville
TripAdvisor/a p
TripAdvisor/Fl5becks The “adult” milkshakes at Grill Marks come in a variety of flavors, but the one thing they have in common is a little something special for those over the age of 21. Grill Marks is located at 209 S Main St., Greenville, SC 29601. They also have a second location in the Haywood Mall. The Main Street location hours are Monday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
- Kaminsky’s Dessert Cafe - Columbia
TripAdvisor/Elliot D
TripAdvisor/MSO70 This cozy dessert bar is filled to the brim with decadent desserts to cap off the evening, or add some sparkle to any time of day. You may be tempted to pass on the milkshakes for one of the desserts in the case, but don’t. They’re delightful! It’s open Monday through Thursday from 4:00 p.m. to midnight, Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., Saturday noon to 2:00 a.m., and Sunday from noon to midnight. Find them at 930 Gervais St., Columbia, SC 29201.
- Betsy’s Round The Corner - Aiken
TripAdvisor/Jimmy J
TripAdvisor/management Made famous by their location, their friendly staff, and their amazing burgers (and other food!), Betsy’s makes an amazing milkshake. Go ahead, order a big meal but prepare to take some home so you’ll have room for a creamy chocolate shake! It’s open Monday through Saturday from 11:00 a.m to 8:30 p.m. Find it at 224 Park Ave. SW, Aiken, SC 29801.
- Johnny Rockets - Myrtle Beach
TripAdvisor/genericqueen
