A classic combo in American cuisine is the burger and milkshake. Slammed together into delicious menus at restaurants all across the country, burgers and milkshakes can be found at everything from fast food chains to high-end establishments. Today we examine some of the best iterations on this classic near our apartments in Redmond.

Lunchbox Lab - Burgers & Bar

Lunchbox epitomizes the classic burger and milkshake joint. With a wide selection of mouthwatering burgers, you won't walk away hungry. That said, their milkshakes are worth the trip all on their own. Their Bellevue location, just ten minutes from our Redmond apartments, boasts hand-spun shakes that strike awe into your tongue with sugary goodness. All their "boozie shakes" can also be made sans alcohol. Their "Drunken Elvis" milkshake is a life-changing experience.

Tipsy Cow - Burger Bar

Tipsy Cow, another pinnacle of the burger and milkshake cuisine, really leans into their bovine theme. Whether you're chowing down on their Beast Mode burger or losing your taste buds to the fires of The Arsonist burger, you'll be able to walk away satisfied. Serving up cow-tipping milkshakes that can incorporate alcohol -- their Caffee Mochashake incorporates Kahlua Coffee Liquor -- you won't want to walk away from this place without savoring one for yourself.

Village Square Cafe

A bit of a departure from the format of the previous two on this list, Village Square Cafe is a place serving excellent burgers and exquisite milkshakes, but they are also equipped with a beautiful breakfast menu! Maybe your lunch companions aren't wise to the wonders of the burger + milkshake combo. Village Square offers the opportunity of the breakfast milkshake which is an equally delightful joy to be entertained.
