Known for their drive thru BBQ and more than 40+ flavors of shakes, if you need something fast and cheap, this is a way to go. My kids like it because they have a lot of "kids" options (hot dogs, corn dogs, chicken nuggets, hush puppies, etc). The chocolate peanut butter fudge milkshake is my favorite.
