A well-made milkshake is a thing of beauty. Though they’re (obviously) known as frappes here in the Bay State, milkshakes are a staple of good, old-fashioned American diner food and there’s no place to get them like Rosebud American Kitchen & Bar in Somerville. Here’s why the milkshakes at this little city diner are the absolute best.
Rosbud’s has been serving up diner classics since the 1940s, so they know a thing or two about milkshakes.

Rosebud’s specializes in “boozy” shakes, which are just what they sound like: regular frappes with an alcoholic kick.
