Bear Lake Utah Chevron Shakes. My family spent a full day at Bear Lake. Visiting with family. BBQing. Playing frisbee. Kayaking ... LOTS of kayaking! As we prepared for the drive back to Mendon my wife's cousin recommended stopping at the "Chevron Station" just east of the town of Bear Lake as you enter the quaint hamlet. He said their hand-scooped fresh fruit shakes are incredible. Maybe. As we exited Bear Lake the Chevron station is truly the LAST business on the left (or the first if you're just coming into town). Shake (pun intended) your franchise/national chain notions and ideas of shakes. NO soft-serve here. Hand-scooped ice cream, vanilla of course, with the flavor of your choice added. Fruits are fresh local grow, malt (!) is available on request. One size only, sir. We ordered a chocolate malt (I could not resist the memories of my youth in the '50s when every shake was hand-scooped), a raspberry shake, and a strawberry shake. Thank goodness we also bought a couple bottles of water. These ice cold creamy milk/egg/sugar/vanilla/flavors-added concoctions were to die for. Certainly the best I have enjoyed since Farrell's Old Fashioned crashed following a short revival. If you are in Bear Lake, DO visit the "Shake Place inside the Chevron Station". Besides the shakes, they also offered quick lunches that looked tasty though we were just "shaking" it down the mountain! read more

We ended up going here to get shakes. It was super interesting. They told us they were out of shakes when we've been waiting in line. They ended up giving us our shakes and no one else was behind us. While we were waiting for our shakes a couple walked in and they ended up giving them shakes. No questions asked. It was super weird and the shakes were not super great. You could taste the crunchiness on the raspberries like they were kind of icy. L read more

I think they either changed how they make their shakes because they aren't nearly as good now!! This is so sad!!

They use real ice cream for their shakes, which I loved. But honestly, I couldn't really taste a huge difference to the ones at the other restaurants right in town down the hill. This gas station does have some pretty cool trucker hats though, so there's that! read more

Bear Lake Chevron - All kids of shakes. All great taste. Strawberry was the best. - Gas Stations Near Me - Garden City, Utah

They USED to have the best shakes and because they're not right on the main strip you could get one without a crazy long wait. They were bought by fast stop last summer and now it's too expensive to use actual mix ins so now everything (except for the raspberry) is a SYRUP. Even the peanut butter is a peanut butter flavored syrup. Shakes are terrible and soupy now. We ended up buying packages of Oreos and Reese's cups for them to put in our shakes (which the cashier said we could do). Bummer to lose them as a good place for shakes! read more

Stingy service. Only make shakes if they feel like it . Went in within hours and got a wild excuse for why they were no longer making shakes that day. read more

This used to be the best place in bear lake for shakes. The new owners cheaped out and the shakes are horrible because they now use syrup instead of real mixins and real ice cream. Huge mistake. We would pay extra for the good shakes you used to have if you wanna cheap out and take away something that was once great. That's a no from Jerry read more

besides chevron closing at 9 pm the raspberry shakes were totally worth it, do not listen to the other reviews it doesn't taste like toxic waste read more

We used to like the shakes here. Now they are just gross. The only one that is decent is raspberry. All other shakes are made with syrup and are soupy. Expected better for $7 per shake. Save your money or go somewhere better in town! read more

Yep. It's true. There's an actual shake shop IN the gas station. I have been hearing about it for a long time, but I finally got to see it with my own eyes (see my stories). If you're wondering why so many people say this is the best raspberry shake in Garden City, I'll tell you why. It's because of the ice cream they start with: Blue Bunny hard ice cream. I always appreciate the use of hard ice cream over soft serve so I support all you cult followers of the Garden City Chevron. read more

See all

This gas station used to have the best shakes. Now they use Blue Bunny ice cream in their shakes and charge 7.99. I'd be fine with the price if they used a decent ice cream. read more

We heard it had the best Raspberry Shake in town and we were not disappointed! Loved the diner feel and the French fries we ordered were perfect - light, fluffy and warm, perfectly salted. read more

Stopped here for one of their famous raspberry shakes. Be prepared, the shake is so thick it stands 3 inches above the cup. Our shakes were great, we'd return for more read more

Soooooo good!! Half of our family got the raspberry shakes here and the other got them at La Bella's and almost everyone preferred these! I love how they use hard ice cream so it ends up being more of a Blizzard consistency than a real milkshakes so it stays cold for way longer in the summer heat! The raspberry ratio was amazing! Highly highly recommend! read more

We read that the raspberry shakes here are the best in town so we decided to find out. First you order by getting in line for the main gas station cashier. No signs for shake pricing or anything but a shake flavor sign at the register. It was busy and we expected a little wait. Once we ordered we stood back to observe the shake making...but no one was making shakes. Finally with a stack of shake orders and at least 20-30 people ahead of us - someone started making shakes. In the first 20 minutes only 4 shakes were put out. In the actual shake making of the night we observed little to no sanitary processes being followed - the man making shakes went back and forth several times to the cash register and then back to making shakes without any hand washing, we watched him use his hands to catch excess ice cream that flipped on the side when he was scooping, and a milkshake machine that appeared to have never been clean during the day - if not longer along with other items that visibly needed a serious deep clean. After watching this and calculating the average time for each shake to be made (we estimated we'd be there well over an hour beyond the 30 minutes we'd already been waiting. So we got back in line and asked the cashier for a refund and were refused. She said the manager quit and they didn't have a code, refused a cash refund as well as had no options for us. Lucky for us - someone in line saw their shake opportunity and bought our shakes paying us via Venmo. Were they the best raspberry shakes in the valley - don't know and after watching the workers and lack of sanitary conditions... I definitely don't want to know. We won't be back. read more

We heard that the Chevron station in Garden City had good shakes. We weren't disappointed. It has the best raspberry shakes around!

The raspberry shakes are overrated!! I expect more for $7.00! My raspberry shake wasn't mixed well and it was just a big cup of frozen raspberries. Try another place! read more

Best shakes in the area. We tried three others and found this to have the best per our very unscientific method.

I've never seen a gas station like this! They had a milkshake bar that we'd heard about in town when we asked around to get the best raspberry shakes. They make their milkshakes with hard ice cream instead of soft serve, which makes a really tasty shake! read more

The shakes are the best. And they're open year round, which seems to be quite unique for Garden City.

Pros: The shakes didn't suck. The employees weren't complete assholes. Cons: The bathrooms were gross. No soap in the women's and only a tiny trash can in the stall. My husband also reported no soap in the men's and no trash can at all. They have signs that say, "Please leave the bathrooms how you would want to find them." I mean, I understand wanting customers not to trash the restrooms, but they can't rely on that. They need people to be checking and restocking and cleaning the bathrooms. Flies everywhere. We counted literally dozens of flies buzzing around, not only in the bathrooms but in the food service area. The place was too hot. And I usually prefer warmer temps. Like I'll keep my house at 75 no problem, and I was too hot. They had the door propped open (which of course contributed to the fly problem), so maybe the AC was broken or something. We waited at LEAST 30 minutes (conservative estimate) for two chocolate shakes. And it wasn't terribly busy. I swear they were taking at least five minutes per order. I also overheard that someone else who was waiting got skipped, so they had to wait EVEN LONGER than the already-horrendous wait. Don't expect fast food-style service. Expect to wait if you still want to come here to get shakes for some reason. There were no napkins at our table and no indication that the employees were planning on checking/refilling them. And, finally, they charge WAY TOO MUCH for a freaking shake. You'd think that if they're charging SIX AND A HALF DOLLARS (yes, $6.49 to be exact) for a 12 oz. shake, they could afford to fix the AC and hire people who would clean the bathrooms and restock the napkins...just sayin. read more

Yep. Skip the long lines at those self-acclaimed raspberry milkshake restaurants and come here. The fries and the milkshakes far surpass theirs. read more

For the win! My family tasted all the shake places in Bear lake in one weekend and this is still the best place. Hand scooped ice cream, lots of raspberries and they even give you the leftovers in a cup on the side. Bonus....cheapest milkshake out of all the places too!! This is our favorite place! Oh and yeah we didn't have to wait for 30 minutes to even order. I want to keep this place a secret! But I just can't. It is too yummy to not share! #1 in bear lake! read more

Bear Lake Chevron - 3 large raspberry shakes and 1 peanut butter and extra on the side! The best! Hand scooped - Gas Stations Near Me - Garden City, Utah

What was once the best shake in Bear Lake is now the worst. They made bone-headed changes to their flavors and the ice cream they use. The only thing that hasn't changed is their unfriendly, unhelpful service. read more

My favorite shakes in Garden City - won't waste my time with other places. Fast service and really friendly employees.

Tasty soda shop style food at the counter. Comfy booths if you plan to sit and stay a while. One of the few places in town with free wifi. Friendly service. read more

We came in when it was closed and the owner Jared was so awesome and accommodating and still made us shakes. Great service!

Best raspberry shakes. The locals recommended this place to us. They use hand-scooped ice cream in their shakes. Everywhere else uses soft-serve. So. Ridiculously. Good. read more

If I could give it less than a star I would. The staff were immature at best and blasted offensive rap music with lyrics like with words like pu@&y and a@s and various other lyrics I surely didn't want to explain to my little girls. The shakes were OK- made with hard ice cream. read more

If you are looking for a gas station in Garden City, this one should be your last choice. They don't keep the shelves fully stocked, so don't go in expecting to find what you need. Some employees are rude as well. One of them spent the entire time on the phone, loudly discussing her cholesterol medication. When I attempted to ask a question, she wouldn't help me, THE CUSTOMER. Went down the road to the next gas station where they had what I needed and actually took their job seriously. read more

The absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. The milk shake I ordered ended up being 2/3 vanilla ice cream and when I asked the manager if there was anything they would do she rolled her eyes and rudely said she wouldn't fix it, remake it or give me any money back. Had she been nice about it I would have understood but she also dropped the f bomb at me. To make matters worse when I asked who her manager was she said her mom. It seems the poor customer service comes from the top. The station was unkempt, our table and booth was wobbly and dirty and all of the employees had the same poor attitude. This is not a place that we will ever be going back to. read more
