The Philadelphia Cheesecake milkshake is the cheesecake flavor without the fruit: 845 calories in a 32.6 oz cup, typically $3.99. It holds the same record-level 171 milligrams of cholesterol and 23 grams of saturated fat as Cook Out's heaviest shake, while carrying 80 fewer calories. It is also where the cheesecake family gets its best reviews.
What is a Philadelphia cheesecake shake?
A shake with an actual slice of cheesecake blended in, not a syrup. The Daily Meal ranks the cheesecake shake fourth of 41 flavors, says real Philadelphia cheesecake goes into the cup and calls the flavor underrated. Mashed ranked it third and praised a tangy, creamy taste. TikTok reviewers describe the same thing from the order counter: slices of cheesecake that Cook Out blends in, with toppings chosen by the customer.
Why do some reviewers hate cheesecake shakes?
The texture. Viking Fusion's writer tried about 40 shakes over two months, named strawberry cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake among the three worst and blamed chewy lumps in the ice cream, not the flavors. The Talon's student reviewers ranked every cheesecake shake in the bottom six of 43 and described them as sour, though the writer admitted a dislike of cheesecake could color that.
The plain version has no fruit pieces to add lumps.
How does Philadelphia Cheesecake compare with Cherry Cheesecake?
The fat is identical and the sugar is not. Cherry Cheesecake adds 18 grams of carbs and 18 grams of sugar for 80 more calories, and the extra 1.4 oz of cup. The fan scorer at cookoutmilkshakereviews.com gave the Cherry Cheesecake 9.5 of 17 and found too few cheesecake pieces.

Is it a high-protein, low-sugar pick?
It is the best cheesecake choice on both counts. Protein is 21 grams, tied for fourth on the menu. Sugar is 97 grams, 28th of 44 and 3.5 grams under the typical shake, and carbs are 101 grams, well below the typical 108.
The cost is fat. At 42 grams, it ties for third on the menu, and the 23 grams of saturated fat exceed the 20-gram Daily Value.
