SO good, but best shake ever?
Decided to try the “best shake ever” in St. Regis, MT. The shake was delicious and had so many things going for it 👏
✨ Here are some of the pros:
- thick/creamy but not difficult to drink
- color & cup was cute
- whipped cream actually added overall
- drank quickly because it was good!
👀 The two things that I think could have been better:
- It was overly sweet *in my opinion*
- there wasn’t enough huckleberry flavor (it felt like the huckleberry was mostly an aftertaste)
That being said, the shakes were ultimately delicious & would definitely go again:)
When I visited a local spot near St. Regis, MT known for their renowned huckleberry milkshakes, I was keen to see if it truly lived up to its hype as the "best shake ever." Beyond the thick and creamy texture, what caught my attention was the perfect balance they struck between indulgence and drinkability. The shake wasn’t too dense, which made it easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. One distinct feature was the whipped cream, which surprisingly elevated the flavor profile rather than just serving as decoration. This subtle addition brought a smooth richness that complimented the fruity undertone of the huckleberry, though I personally wished the berry flavor was a bit bolder. It tasted more like a gentle aftertaste rather than the star of the show, possibly because of the sweetness level which was on the higher side in my opinion. The cup design and vibrant color also added to the overall experience, making the shake surprisingly Instagram-worthy – it’s amazing how presentation can enhance food enjoyment. I noted that many customers around were finishing their shakes quickly, a testament to the drink’s appeal. While the shake was a real treat, this experience reminded me that the perfect milkshake balances sweetness, texture, and flavor intensity. For those who share my passion for huckleberries, it might be worth requesting a bit more berry punch next time. However, if you prefer a sweeter, cream-forward shake, this one hits the spot. Overall, I’d highly recommend making the drive or detour to St. Regis just to try this famously delicious shake. It’s a delightful dessert option that captures the local flavor and offers a satisfying treat. For anyone exploring unique dessert options in Montana or craving a special milkshake experience, this is definitely worth a stop.
My daughter went to Montana for a business trip and brought me back a few huckleberry items, chapstick, taffy, coffee. I loved the taffy and the smell of the chapstick but haven’t opened the coffee yet.
