Where are the best milkshakes in Montana?

When I think of nostalgia, I think of Mark's In & Out. Not only does Mark's offer some incredible milkshakes, but they also have great burgers, fries, onion rings, and a whole lot more. Mark's feels old school and one of those places that puts a smile on your face.

Speaking of old school, Norm's Soda Fountain in Kalispell is another spot that will take you back. Norm's has been around since 1938 and serves up a wonderful milkshake plus all of the treats from the soda fountain era. Plus, Norm's does burgers and fries, AND they have a huge candy selection.
