the strawberry cheesecake sundae was outstanding. great service as well!! the space is a little congested but the outdoor patio will be nice when it's warm out. Their selection is LENGTHY.
I ordered a "Brookie Batter" and it was really good, but to be honest, it was too much dessert at once. I would have preferred to eat it in a bigger bowl where you could have mixed the cookie, brownie, ice cream, cookie dough, etc. better. I don't think I'd order one just for myself again.
This was my second time visiting this location. As you can imagine, if you are in a hurry, please head to another ice cream shop because it does take awhile for them to make the delicious treats. Thankfully, the line wasn't as long as my first visit. I do wish the workers were a little more "present" when greeting/speaking. They were quiet as a mouse. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the Salted Caramel Cheesecake.
Staff was young and customer service was absent. No one greeted me or the people who came after. Fend for yourself when trying to find a menu or read a description. The proportions were off in the mixture and I was not as impressed as I was before at a previous location.
My husband and I took the grandkids to the milkshake bar as a special treat. The server was so sweet and was very patient while we were trying to make selections for them. They even have non dairy options. The cookies and cream ice cream is delicious. My husband got the Donut touch my coffee and cream bowl. There was a donut on top, so he had to share with the family. The kids gave it two thumbs up!
For the novelty of it all...4 stars but sadly in reality I can only give 3 stars because the product does not justify the price and it's not as advertised. We came in and ordered 3 milkshakes. I ordered an original banana split milkshake with a cheesecake. I was disappointed that they just replaced the banana in its entirety. I thought it would have had bananas in the actual shake but there was just half melted ice cream in the container and a piece of cheesecake that was so frozen I actually couldn't eat through it with my "shake". We all found our "shakes" to be just melted ice cream...no actually blended shake. Overall, I'm glad I got to try it but I doubt I would be back and I definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone who isn't just on vacation.
We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy. But the staff were very helpful. My daughter has food allergies so when I mentioned it, they made sure to switch gloves and use a different scoop for her ice cream. Then my three year old son dropped his ice cream and was crying and one of the staff was so kind and got him another one and gave him an extra scoop too!
Wife got a chocolate, brownie milkshake. Nothing crazy. The milkshake was delicious but nothing special. Lots of flavors to choose from. Priced high, I assume because of location and experience. Several kids working and half of them goofing off. I didn't like that. Wait until customers are serviced and gone. Lots to choose from. Plenty of seating if you include outside which makes for good atmosphere. We'll come again if we want ice cream in this area. We'll expect to pay. Can find cheaper milkshakes, just as good, in town
I was disappointed in our first experience at The Yard. There were 3 young adults working behind the counter, and not one greeted us. They just looked at us until we were the ones to say hello and tell them what we wanted. If I'm spending $18 for a milkshake, I expect an experience and good customer service. The counters were messy, shelves were disorganized, bathroom dirty. Napkins were not stocked, tables and counters were dirty as well. This was at roughly 5:30pm. There needs to be employees here that make the most of their jobs; these made the experience almost miserable. The milkshake itself was the consistency of, well, milk. Really no texture other than the added ingredients. I received it on a paper plate and milk running down every side. Flavor was good and the milkshake was fun, but the mess and service really dampend the experience...
So I will say that the bowls, milkshakes and Sundays are each a little bit pricey, however, they taste great, and I are unique novel experience that includes being a little work of art. Great little outing
The prices are absolutely ridiculous. I paid almost $20 for a milkshake that wasn't even that good. Will never return here. It did have a pretty presentation or I would have given it a single star.
I got The Mermaid milkshake and I loved it, It was a blue monster and cake batter ice cream with marshmallow drizzle and topped with a mountain of goodies. The workers were very nice and patient, there were some many flavors and different options to choose from. You were also able to taste as many flavors of ice cream as you wanted. The sitting area was mostly clean, had some ice cream messes, but could be cleaned more often. They also provided a wash station to clean your hands and even the mason jar the milkshakes came in. I would recommend The Yard for ice cream and sweet lovers! The pricing is a little high, but I think you get yours moneys worth with the amount you get!
We went because we heard about it from a friend, we really enjoyed this place. The inside was very nice and the employees were friendly. I got the cookies and milk milkshake, i really liked it. The stuff on top like the whip cream and chocolate chips and the cookie sandwich were good, the Cookie Crisp pieces were ok. The shake itself had a nice milky flavor. I don't think I would get this again, but I'm glad I tried it. If you're thinking about going to this place, I say check it out.

Ok. Yes, the ice cream is pricey but it's delicious and worth a splurge now and again. We had excellent service today. I asked the female cashier between two choices of mini moos - peanut butter brownie or the oreo. She suggested the PB which I probably would have gotten anyway, and it was a great choice. Now, to be honest the whipped cream is as high as the ice cream or higher. There was real creamy peanut butter. The brownie was fudge. It was plenty to split after lunch. On a hot day like today, it hit the spot. If you're doing dessert for lunch the mini moo is a good small portion. If you want to overindulge, then get the $14 specialty. It's in, what looks like a 16oz cup. read more

Love it! This was my first visit to the Huntsville location at last!!! My husband decided to split a milkshake because we've made the mistake of getting our own in the past. We got the mint chocolate chip one. It came with a huge brownie and of course the souvenir glass. We ate every crumb and drank every drop. Only downside is this location doesn't have a lace to wash out the glasses like other locations do. They also don't seem to clean the outside tables. read more

It's in a new subdivision which is called Town of Madison. In front of the "trash panda" stadium. It's outrageously over priced and over sized. If you're trying to be healthy-- I wouldn't recommend coming here. They have ice cream as well and a multitude of flavors including vegan options. There's space to sit outside. The servers are polite but seem over worked and there's not enough trash cans/no recycle bins in the facility. It's a bit of a wait too for the milkshake. read more
Awesome specialty milkshake and sundae creations. Great banana pudding ice cream. What you get looks just like the picture. They have lots of unique combinations that all look good. Service was good for being so busy but this isn't a fast food place. Expect to wait a little unless you go at an off time. read more

We decided to take the kids to The Yard Milkshake Bar after school last Thursday. I liked the layout, decor, and location. I couldn't bring myself to pay $15 for a milkshake, but I wanted the kids (and, let's be honest, myself) to get the experience...so I opted to indulge in the $10 specialty bowls. While they were amazing to look at (and while the treats on top were all fantastic), the ice cream actually had plenty of room for improvement. Handel's ice cream is SIGNIFICANTLY better in both taste and texture. My fiancé told me this is because this ice cream was meant to be enjoyed as a milkshake. The Yard will get $15 out of me one day in the future before I make up my mind for good! One thing I have to add: the fruity pebbles treat on The Cereal Killer is perhaps one of the best sugar treats I have ever consumed. It could stand alone. These should be sold as a solo packaged treat on a small kiosk beside the cashier... read more

Mediocre ice cream and the bowl was WAY too small. Not worth the price, you're better off buying ice cream and baked goods at the grocery store. read more

So thankful the yard has come to my hometown!! I always look forward to the beach but now it's just right down the road. The monthly special are my favorite. The lemon ice box pie was yo die for. Always a loyal to the mermaid and the unicorn. read more

I got the vegan and lactose friendly option and it was delicious. Even the whipped topping on top was vegan and lactose free. Everything ordered was delicious but our only issue was the wait time to get our orders in and how long it took to get orders to us. 45 mins just to order and another hour plus to get our ice cream. If you plan on coming here make sure to get there when the store first opens to avoid a line read more

My work team came here for an outing today. The service was speedy, as there were not many other people at the time we came. Atmosphere was nice. The business was a little cramped inside. The milkshake was tasty! I got the peaches and cream milkshake. I definitely wouldn't come here for my everyday ice cream fix. However, for a special little ice cream outing, it is a nice change of pace. Prices are steep. read more
