At Krystalist, our favorite flavor is the classic Cherry Krystal Freeze!

If there is one thing we like about Krystal, it’s the “nothin’ like it” variety that the fast food eatery serves up. With everything from Burgers to Chiks to Pups to all the innovative beverage choices including MilkQuakes and the Krystal Blitz, there is a little something for everyone. And, we can’t leave out one of our favorite treats and its many flavor options – The Krystal Freeze.

Known for its crisp, clean and refreshing taste, The Krystal Freeze features only the best ingredients including premium Monin syrups containing real, pure cane sugar. But the big question remains, which flavor choice is the favorite among Krystal Lovers? Of course, that’s a matter of opinion, but we’d love to know what you think.

So join us in the quest and vote in the poll below for your Krystal Freeze Flavor of choice!

The new Krystal will be conveniently located so that no resident of Bradenton has a Krystal craving go unsatisfied.

Bradentonians – say hello to your very own Krystal Restaurant. That’s right. Set to open this winter, The Krystal Company will bring its first ever state-of-the-art Krystal restaurant and big-taste menu items to the residents of Bradenton, Fla.

Situated at 3108 First Street, the sleek and spacious eatery will showcase an expanded menu complete with a variety of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options that are bound to keep you coming back for more.

You can expect to see all of Krystal’s famous food items, such as the Krystal Hamburger, Krystal Chik and Krystal Pup in addition to a number of innovative and unique offerings including: Krystal’s newest menu item, The Krystal Blitz, an energy drink that’s served “Frozen” or “On The Rocks” in a great-tasting Lemon Berry flavor; a line of MilkQuakes, made with premium, all-natural ingredients; Krystal Freezes, the company’s new frozen slush drink made from pure-cane sugar and fruit flavorings; and Sweet Bites, Krystal’s anytime dessert snack available in a 6 or 12-count.

Just like all Krystal restaurants, the Bradenton location will be a “Krystal HotSpot,” offering free Wi-Fi Internet access to guests. The restaurant will also feature advanced drive-thru ordering technology, credit card and debit payment options to make each and every visit quick, easy and convenient.

Skip the "World's Best Boss" mug and make your boss happy this Friday with a little gift from Krystal.

It can be lonely at the top. Just take The Office’s Michael Scott for instance. But today isn’t any ordinary day – it’s Boss’ Day!

To honor of all those supervisors, top executives and business owners out there, throw a little goodwill your employer’s way with something that every Southerner loves – Krystal.  What better way is there to show your appreciation than with a hot Krystal Breakfast to start the day off right or even a few Krystal Sweet Bites in between meetings? Sure, any office drone can fetch a cup of coffee, but it takes true dedication and innovation to spring for a Krystal Blitz to get a person through the day.

And who knows? That pick-me-up might be the very thing that leads to that promotion you‘ve been dreaming about. You’ll be surprised just how far a little Krystal can go.

Yesterday we asked our friends on Twitter and Facebook to share their Top Three Krystal menu items, and the Krystal Lover Community spoke loud and clear! It comes as no surprise that the Famous Krystal Burger and Cheese Krystal are well at the top of the chart, however, there are a few other favorites climbing the list.

Check out the additional Krystal food and beverage items that have gained popularity with fans:

• Krystal Chik
• Chili Cheese Corn Pup
• The Krystal Blitz
• Sweet Bites (a Krystalist favorite!)
• Big Angus Burger
• Krystal Sunriser
• Chili Cheese Fries
• MilkQuakes

We couldn’t help but notice that “Chili Cheese” has been added to two of the eight menu items on the list. If you don’t mind us saying so ourselves, the Krystal Chili is mighty good. And because we love to pass on a good thing – here’s a little known secret among Krystal Lovers: chili can be added to ANY item on the Krystal menu, including the Big Angus Burger. The same goes for bacon as well. The possibilities are endless.
