Steak 'n Shake has rolled out a new deal to celebrate America's 250th anniversary: a $2.50 milkshake topped with a mini Statue of Liberty.
The announcement drew attention on social media after the Indianapolis-based company highlighted the shake this week in a post on X. Commenters expressed excitement over the deal and the patriotic tie-in — while others lamented not having any Steak 'n Shake locations near them.
"Patriot Milkshake now comes with [a] Statue of Liberty. Yes fans, it's dark chocolate!" Steak 'n Shake wrote in its post.

"Patriot Shake priced at $2.50 for the rest of the year," it continued.
The milkshake is described on Steak 'n Shake's website as vanilla ice cream "blended with birthday cake, finished with whipped cream, patriotic sprinkles and an iconic dark chocolate Statue of Liberty."
