Utahns just can’t get enough milkshakes. Pretty much every burger joint in the Beehive State serves up thick, creamy shakes, and you could probably spend years trying them all. There’s a little gem in Sugarhouse that often gets overlooked, but the shakes there are almost too wonderful to be real. Check out Millie’s Burgers:
Millie’s Burgers has been around for almost four decades, so if you grew up in the Sugarhouse area, you may remember this place from your childhood. It’s located at 2092 S. 1000 E., Salt Lake City, UT 84105.

This place hasn’t changed much at all since it opened. It still boasts the same menu board, and though the prices have gone up a bit over the years, the food is all still made fresh.

Millie’s is tiny, with just a few booths inside, and a few picnic tables outside. No worries - you’re not here for the ambiance - you’re here for the marvelous shakes and tasty food.

The burgers are a step above what you’ll find at most burger joints. The beef patties are fresh, never frozen, and you can taste the difference.

…the shakes! These shakes really are wonderful. They’re thick and creamy, and stand several inches above the rim of the cup.

With more than three dozen flavors to choose from, you’ll want to come back again and again to try them all. Just bring your appetite, because it’s a lot of ice cream for one person.

Of course, you can always bring a friend, get two spoons, and share the ice cream love…
