You + Boardwalk Fries, Burgers & Shakes? That’s quintessential date night 😍

And luckily for everyone, their Milton location is hosting Customer Appreciation Day on Saturday May 16 (that’s next weekend!), where you can enjoy 50%* off burgers and shakes alllll day long. What could be better?!

We’re huge fans of their hand spun shakes made with 100% Canadian dairy. That banana flavour? That’s the taste of childhood baby 😍

With tons of burger options to choose for (including bbq cheddar bacon, chipotle, and their take on Hawaiian), juicy crispy chicken sandwiches, a helpful staff and super comfy booths, isn’t this what spring and summer date nights are all about?! We say absolutely 🤏🤏🤏

Check them out Saturday May 16th all day long for their Customer Appreciation day

With over 50 local Ontario vendors selling fresh blooms, plants, ceramics, and trinkets, it’s the perfect weekend pick-me-up. You can build your own bouquet or grab a curated one - I got this stunning Tulip bunch for $30! 🌷

Admission is FREE and floral prices start around $30. Make sure to come earlier rather than later to get first pick and beat the crowds. Most vendors accept card/debit, and cash is welcome too.

Upcoming 2026 dates:
