    Brookie Batter
    Gary K.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Coming soon! April is the projected date!

    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.

    Very pricy for some normal ice cream. They drown it in whipped cream. Very cool for looks and pictures but the taste isn't all that.

    Today, 9 May, at 2:45 pm I walked in to this business ready to spend $30-$50 on a bowl of fruit…read morewith my 2 twelve year old boys. As I was looking at the menu, the boys knew what they wanted so I sent them to the cash register to order. While they were at the cash register, one of the boys was touching a gift card display that was next to the cash register. The owner approached him and got really close to him and asked "are you going to buy one" and he said no sir, then the owner said "then don't touch it, put it down". We left and will NEVER return, Never. I would give a ZERO stars if possible. I'll drive to City Bowls in south Huntsville before going to this place, even if I just finished watching a trash pandas game. Horrible owner.

    As a lover of acai bowls, I have to say I'm pleased but a little surprised at how many of them have…read moresprung up around here in the last few years. Playa Bowls is one such option, located near Toyota Field. I visited a couple of weeks ago for a quick lunch before going back to work and had a very nice time! The inside is tropical themed and very cute. I will say I'm ALWAYS hot and even I found it a bit chilly in there, but I guess that makes sense -- keeping all the bases (acai, pitaya, etc) cool and such. You order at the counter and employees call your name when your food is ready. Everyone I interacted with was perfectly pleasant and working hard. This particular chain offers a good many more combinations than many other fruit bowl competitors, which I think is mostly a good thing, though the menu can be a little overwhelming! In addition to bowls, they also offer smoothies and juices. Bases (in other words, the smoothie-like substance that forms the bottom part of a bowl) can be acai, mango, pitaya, oatmeal, or a green, coconut, or banana blend. Again, a little overwhelming, but fun to have so many options. I settled on the Electric Mermaid, which has a pitaya base and is topped with granola, pineapple, mango, kiwi, coconut flakes, and honey. Sadly, they were out of kiwi when I visited, but the employee was kind enough to offer to substitute another fruit or to double up on one of the fruits already in the bowl. I did double pineapple because it's my favorite. :) Overall, the bowl was yummy and well-balanced. All the fruits were perfectly ripe, not too mushy, not too cold, etc. It ran a little on the sweeter side thanks to the honey, but overall, I'd eat it again! There isn't a Playa Bowls particularly close to me, but I'd be happy to return and continue to try out some of their other combinations. If you're an acai bowl fan, I don't think you'll be disappointed here.

    I'll get to the point…read more It's a good health food spot. They have smoothies-both yogurt and milk based. You do have a choice of Oat milk and Soy. The pleasant young dude helping me says coconut milk is on its way!! For vegans/veggies- they have wraps, a few salad choices, and the flat bread which I ordered... Food-not impressed with cauliflower flat bread. It's a horrible vehicle for toppings because it gets soggy quick and blends textures with the melted cheese- it's off putting BUT there's a saving grace in that you can order the wrap instead. Flavor was there though. The chicken and goat cheese with Frank's hot sauce is delicious and simple and actually has great flavor! You can order it without meat or beyond chickN. It's very clean, very relaxing, and fir readers, you can grab a quick bite and get your read on in peace. I do recommend giving them a try.

    Another acai place! I love what I've come to call "fruit bowls" and am not mad about another one…read more Grain and Berry differentiates itself by having a fairly large number of other options, such as toasts, smoothies, flatbreads, and so on. There's ample parking since it's in a very large shopping center. The inside is larger than expected with plenty of spots to sit. I could see working on a laptop in here; it's well air conditioned and has a nice vibe. Several staff members were behind the counter and they were quick to greet me and begin work on my order. I got the grain and berry, which had bananas, blueberries, and strawberries on a bed of granola and acai, with peanut butter, Nutella, and coconut flakes. It was packaged and ready to go in a reasonable amount of time. Compared to other places, I did think the price was a bit high. I enjoyed my fruit bowl when I ate it for dinner a little bit later. The acai wasn't overly sweet and the ratio of granola to fruit was pretty perfect. I was missing the coconut flakes - idk if they didn't put them on or if I just never detected them. The fruit ratio was also a little off in my opinion -- only a few diced up pieces of strawberries, a handful of blueberries, and then a LOT of sliced bananas. Lastly, I really wish the peanut butter and Nutella had been drizzled on top. At first I thought I didn't get any at all, but I eventually realized it was in a layer below the fruit and above the granola. This might've been done to preserve the appearance of the bowl/lid since I got it to go, but I feel the flavors got a little lost when I ate it. Overall, these are minor nitpicks/personal preference so not a huge deal. I could easily see myself returning for another bowl in the future. Thanks, Grain and Berry!
