We got the specialty milkshake pint (brookie batter shake boss) and I did not like it. The cookie and brownie seemed old and the milkshake itself had a weird taste to it. Visually it was a 10/10, but tasted like a 1/10. Definitely not worth $20.

Vegetarian options: I didn’t try any vegetarian options

This place is a scam riding off of Instagram photos of what look like delicious shakes. Bad Tasting Shakes, Takes forever, Overpriced despite great ice cream. We were excited to try this place out and went tonight but it was a complete disappointment across the family. When your kids are regretting going to an ice cream shop, something is wrong:
-3 shakes with tip was $64. Wow.
-Took 25 minutes to get 3 shakes. The place was empty but maybe they had a lot of door dash orders?
-Here's where it gets really sucky. They have BlueBell Ice Cream which is great ice cream. But they hide that there isn't a lot of milk shake in chocolate covered glasses and a ton of whipped cream. So you don't actually get a lot of milkshake in your $20 milkshake. Like, you get more ice cream in a McDonald's McFlurry or a Wendy's Frosty than you do here. They just hide it in a lot of cheap crappy toppings so you can't see that. We went in hungry, we left hungry.
-And it just didn't taste great. One kid didn't even finish theirs because it's just whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Everything we ordered tasted the same, like sugar meets plastic.

If I were to go back, or if you're going, don't get the milk shakes. In their blinking digital menus if you pay attention you'll see a less than $5 menu pop up that is just the good ice cream on an ice cream cone. I'd do that if I end up there and I'd encourage you to do the same, cause you're just going to feel ripped off walking out of there.

"The YARD Milkshake Bar"

BlueBell Ice-cream products 🇺🇲🫡🇺🇲
Far SUPERIOR to "Brusters real ice cream & Cold Stone Creamery"

Management is Top Level 👌🏾

Ohhhhhhhhh Yeah !!!!!!!!

"Yard Time is Blue Bell Time" 💯😎😉👍🏿

Grateful for this friendly team and their kindness to help turn a disappointing evening into a special memory. After our planned visit to the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest was unexpectedly cancelled due to high winds, we struggled to find an open place to take four disappointed boys. We stopped here and enjoyed a sweet treat, from an exceptionally friendly team that patiently helped each boy find their perfect treat. They answered all the questions, and there were plenty, then helped them pick a reasonable treat they could finish. We will definitely be back! And thank you again for turning our night around!
And definitely go for the cup bowl sundaes unless you’re sharing! The milkshakes are HUGE! 😆

A Heavenly Treat for Your Taste Buds!

I recently visited The Yard Milkshake Bar, and let me just say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was immediately impressed by the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. The bright colors, fun decor, and upbeat music set the perfect tone for what was to come—an indulgent milkshake experience like no other!

The menu is nothing short of amazing. There are so many unique and creative milkshake combinations that it’s nearly impossible to choose just one. Whether you're craving something fruity, chocolatey, or downright indulgent, they've got you covered. I went with the Cotton Candy shake, and WOW it was like a carnival in a glass! Not only was the milkshake perfectly creamy, but it was also topped with cotton candy, a lollipop, sprinkles, and whipped cream. The presentation alone was a work of art, and the taste was even better.

What I love most is that The Yard Milkshake Bar doesn’t just stop at shakes—they offer a variety of toppings and even different bases for the milkshakes. They let you customize your shake to your heart's desire, so you're not limited to the options on the menu. You can choose from a wide selection of mix-ins and toppings, which lets you create a totally personalized masterpiece.

The service was also top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations when I couldn’t decide. They made sure everything was prepared to perfection and took the time to answer my questions about ingredients and customization options.

I also appreciated the fact that the milkshakes were so generously sized. I opted for the large, and it could easily serve two people! With all the delicious toppings, it felt like I was getting my money’s worth with every sip.

Lastly, the ambiance is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re treating yourself to something special, hanging out with friends, or even celebrating a birthday (which, by the way, they do an excellent job of making the occasion feel extra special), The Yard Milkshake Bar offers an experience that's both fun and memorable.

Overall, I can't recommend The Yard Milkshake Bar enough. If you have a sweet tooth or just love indulging in creative dessert options, this place is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be back soon to try more of their incredible shakes!

This place should read the negative reviews and notice how they all point to “the big guy and his bad attitude.” You can’t miss him….Unfortunately he’s been there the 2 times I was there and both times he made me and my whole family feel really uncomfortable by how rude he is. I got my kid a scoop cus he was begging and all the adults walked out empty handed bc we were so disgusted by him.

Do NOT recommend! If you don’t want to waste your money do not go here, it is insanely expensive. 3 things came out to be $53 , and all 3 different items tasted like trash. We got some brownie cookie dough shake, a cheese cake shake and birthday cake ice cream. Everything tasted like plastic and cheap. Could have made all those items from home for under $20. The presentation of the desserts was amazing but taste was so bland, we ended up throwing everything. Crazy waste of money.

We went here at 8:30 PM on a weekday night and the person working looked so annoyed by us. The customer service experience was lacking, they were “out of milk” so no milkshakes, and very few flavors were available. Overall, disappointing and no one in my family will be back.

Big guy at the register should find a job that doesn't require interacting with customers. Great milkshake turned into an awkward rude experience for my 8 year old.
