Zaxby’s, the fast-casual restaurant chain known for its chicken fingers and wings, has brought back its beloved Zaxby's milkshakes for a limited time. The creamy and indulgent treats are available in four flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Birthday Cake, and Strawberry. Each milkshake is topped with whipped cream and a cherry, and comes with a straw wide enough to sip the thick and rich beverage.
However, not all Zaxby’s fans will be able to enjoy the milkshakes, as they are only available in Macon, Georgia. The company has chosen this location as a test market for the product, which was previously discontinued in 2018. The milkshakes are priced at $3.99 each, and will be offered until May 10, 2024. Zaxby’s has not announced any plans to expand the availability of the milkshakes to other markets, but customers can express their interest by using the trending hashtag #BringBackTheShakes on social media.
