The Yard Milkshake Bar

"Disappointing. Staff didn’t seem to want to be bothered by customers. They weren’t even out there when we came in but eventually came out to ask what we wanted. Didn’t ask if we had been there before or offer to assist us in anyway. When I got my order (the unicorn with a substitution of a mermaid tail instead of the cone, and icing instead of marshmallow cream on the rim) it didn’t have any toppings on it except the mermaid tail. No cotton candy, no airhead xtreme, just plain normal whipped cream and sprinkles, icing, and the mermaid tail. Just super disappointing for the price plus we drove an hour to come because I had seen so many awesome ads and I’m pregnant so this was supposed to be a little treat."

"As a vegan it is hard to a find a milkshake anywhere! And so I am always pleasantly surprised to enjoy creamy icecream here! My experience at the yard was pleasant (even when we arrived close to closing) . I got a vegan vanilla milkshake with some vegan chocolate chunk blended into it and a little bit of peanut butter drizzle. It was super rich and tasty so if you have a sweet tooth then the Yard is definitely for you! :D"

"Great service! Really good ice cream!! The only downside is the inside is tiny, leaving very little opportunity for eating inside...and during the summer, well, the flies LOVE sugar, so it's hard to enjoy ice cream while fighting the flies. Overall, this play is the best place for a sweet treat!"

"Don’t get me wrong, this place is so cute and serves great looking ice cream/milkshakes, but $20 for one shake seems steep to me!! I shared the strawberry cheesecake shake, and the cheesecake was FROZEN SOLID. We drank the shake and nibbled on the whipped cream on top hoping it would thaw a little bit, but it didn’t. Makes eating it a lot less fun. Also, there were two girls walking around to give people their order and they were beyond rude, never saying “excuse me” when they needed to get around you, sighing loudly when they couldn’t find a customer they were looking for after “calling” their number. They definitely need a better system for those busy nights so people know to come up and get their order rather than having sassy teenagers run back and forth. Despite the cost, long wait times, and messiness of the back counter, I love the great lengths they go to accommodate for allergies. They make shakes in a whole different space for those who have food allergies, and I really appreciate that. Definitely worth going at least once, and you do get to keep the jar it comes in if you get a specialty shake, but in my opinion and my husbands, it’s not worth $20. The stars are for the look of the shake, the amount of seating, and the allergy accommodations."

"Staff was very friendly and helpful, it was our first time there. My husband got an ice cream bowl, my daughter got a jar and I got the edible cookie dough with a scoop of ice cream. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have gone with cookie dough and ice cream where you pick the flavors, I would have stuck with one where the flavors are already part of the dish like my husband and daughter; their flavors blended better. Everything was delicious just the same! We're looking forward to going back again."
