BIG RED SHAKES ARE A THING AT SAN ANTONIO’S BURGER BOY

If this is the first time you’ve heard of a Big Red Shake at Burger Boy, you’re not alone.

The Big Red-flavored specialty drink is the shake of the month at the San Antonio burger restaurant. The monthly spotlight is news for many customers, the restaurant said.

“Simply put, we took a San Antonio favorite, a drink that our customers love so much, and made it a shake flavor,” Burger Boy said. “We like to think of the Big Red Shake as a Big Red float without the ‘float.'”

The drink debuted in March 2017, but fans seemed to be surprised it existed when the restaurant made the monthly announcement over the weekend and started tagging their stay-at-home buddies for dinner ideas. The drink is available on the permanent menu for $2.59 plus tax.

Other unique flavors like Oreo, caramel and coconut are also available.

Burger Boy is continuing its drive-thru and curbside operation only at this time at all three locations. Though Gov. Greg Abbott is allowing restaurants to open dining rooms, Burger Boy told fans it is opting not to. The restaurant wants to take “extra precautions” for its food, customers and team.

The restaurant added special appreciation for customers who are keeping the iconic burgers in mind during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Being a small, local business, we are proud to be serving San Antonio during these unprecedented times,” the restaurant said. “We appreciate all of the continued support from our community. We are doing our part to give back whenever we can as well.”
