I would like to give 5* and more to this milkshake stand. I was on a short work assignment in Houlton,Maine. I decided to go site and eat something good in the area. I Goggled restaurants in the area and this spot was in the mix. This milkshake stand had alot of (unique)different flavors that I don't see back home. I ordered a "salted carmel milkshake" and it had real small pieces of 's in it.
