Zaxby’s brings back its famous milkshakes—here’s how to get yours for half price
- Replies 0
There’s nothing quite like a good milkshake to brighten your day—and now, after a long absence, one of the South’s most beloved fast-food chains is bringing theirs back.
Whether you remember sipping one after a ballgame or just enjoy a creamy treat on a hot day, Zaxby’s is giving fans a reason to celebrate.
And for a limited time, they’re offering their handspun milkshakes at half the usual price.
Here’s everything you need to know to take advantage of the deal—and maybe revisit a few sweet memories along the way.
Zaxby’s, the Athens, Georgia-based chain known for its chicken fingers and Southern charm, has officially reintroduced its milkshakes to the menu—this time permanently.
As part of its 35th anniversary celebration, the chain is rolling out the frozen favorites at all 940+ locations across 17 states.
That’s right—no more limited-time offers or region-only test runs.
The shakes are back, and they’re here to stay!
Zaxby’s milkshakes are handspun to order, made with real sugar and whole milk for that classic soda fountain taste.
Each one comes topped with a swirl of whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, and a cherry on top—just like the ones you remember.
You’ll have four flavors to choose from:
Whether you’re trying something new or coming back to an old favorite, there’s a flavor for every sweet tooth.
From May 19 through June 1, Zaxby’s is offering 50% off all handspun milkshakes—no coupon or app required.
Just walk in and order any flavor at participating locations, and you’ll get your treat for half off.
It’s a limited-time offer, so be sure to grab one while it lasts!
Zaxby’s originally pulled its milkshakes from the menu back in 2017, leaving many fans disappointed.
But demand never disappeared.
Earlier this year, the company quietly tested the return of shakes in a few Georgia locations—and the response was overwhelming.
That warm welcome paved the way for a full national comeback.
Now, Zaxby’s says it’s thrilled to bring back what many consider one of their most iconic offerings.

For many customers, these shakes aren’t just a dessert—they’re a connection to happy moments.
Some remember ordering them with friends after high school football games, while others are now introducing their grandchildren to their favorite flavors.
Whether it’s about tradition or simply enjoying a well-made treat, Zaxby’s milkshakes carry a certain nostalgic charm.
Sometimes it’s the little things—a creamy vanilla shake, a good conversation, or a sunny afternoon—that bring the biggest smiles.
Zaxby’s decision to bring back its milkshakes isn’t just about dessert—it’s about joy, nostalgia, and a bit of indulgence we all deserve once in a while.
So if you’re near a Zaxby’s, treat yourself!
Whether it’s a solo stop or a family outing, there’s no better excuse to enjoy a classic summer treat.
