I couldn't decide between 1 star or 5 stars. See, we had been trying to get into Bertie's for a while to try one of their milkshakes, so we waited until we were really hungry. That was a small tactical error.\n\nWe checked out the cool, vintage outfits and decor for a while (I bought a smokin' \"Greg Brady\" green and orage shirt!) before rolling up to the soda fountain. I ordered an Elvis Presley Milkshake, which had chocolate, banana, peanut butter, and like 8 other tasty things in it. The wifey went for a red hots + cinnamon beast called the Sophia Loren. We watched, fascinated, as she created these two... beasts.\n\nServed up in a traditional milkshake glass, they were backed by the giant metal shake container they were made in. And they were so, so, tasty. We swirled and slurped and sucked them down, only to refill them out of that damned metal shake container. I really don't know how much shake I ate, because things started to get hazy. But it was so damned good I couldn't stop. By the time we staggered out of there our tongues were happy but our stomachs were about to burst. \n\nBut really that misery was my own doing and my inability to put down the straw, so I can't be mad at Bertie's. Since I'm drooling while I write this just thinking about that milkshake, I'm sure I'll be back.\n\nThey don't serve much food, but for a tasty treat and some retro shopping, Bertie's is the best.
