I stopped by the Yard Milkshake Bar after dinner for dessert. I ordered the Brookie Batter which included fudgy brownie sundae and cookie dough ice cream in a chocolate drizzle cup (it was too go) topped with chocolate chips, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. Service was slow to start. We waited a while and I finally asked if someone could help us. No response but then someone else came to wait on us. I loved the milkshake but wish service had been better. read more

Can't say I'm disappointed but I can't say I'm pleased either. This does not compare to the ones in Georgia. This one is pretty average. They appeared to have just got over being slammed? It was a little confusing to order at first but eventually we were guided to the cashier to do so. We weren't offered to try anything but if you asked they were more than accommodating. I had gotten the Shirley Temple milkshake and that was alright. Definitely felt rushed when made. Ice cream did feel slightly melted already but that could have just been the way it was made. I did get to keep the whole can of sprite so that was good! It's like I got three milkshakes for one as I just kept refilling the mason jar whenever it got low. The locations in Georgia might of set my expectations of this one too high but I would go here again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This one was clean and taken care of it seems.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Everything in National Harbor is a tourist trap and while this is no exception, if you want a lovely fun ice cream moment, you will definitely get it. The prices are indeed exorbitant and the menu definitely overwhelming. But if you just get a nice basic milkshake, it's not an insane price and you'll get exactly the yummy thick delicious drink you want. If you want to go for the insane toppings and flavors mixes, feel free but they are just overpriced gimmicks that take awhile to make. read more

They have a large menu- crazy milkshakes, less crazy milkshakes, large and smaller Sundaes, cookie ice cream sandwiches and more. Prices ranged from around $7- $23 per dessert. I selected a smaller sundae with peanut butter and brownie (around 800 calories for one.) It was really good. The employees were friendly as it was my first time and it was hard to make a decision since everything looked so good. I would go back, however I would not wait in a long line if there was one. read more

The milkshake itself was okay. It wasn't very thick and tasted more like chocolate milk. The cookie was a bit stale. The brownie was awesome! Overall the cookie dough bites throught the shake made it a good milkshake. The service takes awhile just based upon popularity if this place. I would expect longer wait times in the summer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scenery and photo ops in here were great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The milkshake themselves were great for social media. They theme a milkshake to their location which is pretty cool!

We went to the Polar Express at the Gaylord so decided to walk to the National Harbor and came across this place. Service : They were friendly and nice despite it being a busy Saturday night. As soon as the crowd died down they went straight to cleaning the tables and emptying the trash cans. The larger ice cream creations come in a 16 oz mason jar. ($$$) They also have a huge selection of cookie dough that you can sample. read more

We decided on milkshake after coming out ICE polar express on a nice 60ish degrees weather on a Sunday in Nov. Landed on this place, which I was so glad it was introduced to me .. lol. Decided to share a Cookie Dough Delicious milkshake with my niece. It is that good and it's a milkshake I didn't know I needed. There was little piece of chips at the bottom of the shake.. oohh delicious. I may end up.be coming here everytime I'm in the area and need some dessert! I have yet to try other specialties so I'll leave the extra 1 star for the future. Oh and they will call your number and bring your order to you which I thought was bonus point! read more

I wanted to try their specialty sundaes but found the sizes and prices more than I wanted. Thankfully they have a mini moo option which still comes with a generous mound of whipped cream (that however didn't survive the walk from the counter to my seat). I had the mint chocolate brownie, which was good. The employees were very attentive. read more

Pricing is not transparent. Asked for an explanation and breakdown of the pricing but received multiple different answers. Based on the price, $12.50 (build your own) + $1.00 (milkshake) + $2.00 (jar) = $15.50, not sure how it all came to $17.50. I was asked if I would want something free, gladly declined, as Im not here for free things, just more transparency on pricing. Thanks for the watery milkshake though! read more

Busy spot with almost an overwhelming selection of flavor combinations. I do appreciate that they have a lot of GF options listed.

We came here after seeing Ice and the harbor fireworks since we decided to stay the night in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place looked so exciting like stacked sweets on sweets that were designed to feed the eyes and soul but it's a bit of an illusion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Like the cookies milkshake looked like it was stacked cookie crisps but you only get that if you buy the glass and they basically coat the glass so they can stick the cookie crisps on vs what looked to me initially like a delicious looking chipwich with cookie crisps. That's what my partner ordered and I ended up adding cookie crisps that I added as toppings for my regular milkshake to his to make it better. My milkshake was meh. We've had a lot of milkshakes between the time we used to spend in Baltimore and the spots we have now found for nice thick flavorful milkshakes. I got a strawberry cheesecake one here. It was not thick like when you get killer ice cream base. It was more liquid and smooth with the candy sweetness instead of actual strawberry sweetness. For the wait and the price, I would pass next time. read more

What an amazing birthday celebration at the Yard Milkshake Bar on the National Harbor. The team working to take our orders, to make our shakes, and to ensure that we satisfied with our purchases were amazing. These three young ladies made milkshake fans out of 30 people on 10/14. We will definitely be back. Blue Bell is the best ice-cream and the additions to the mugs, and ice-cream were literally the topping on the cake. Check them out! #HappyEating read more

The yard milkshake bar can definitely turn into a nice hang out after a long walk through national harbor. Specialty milkshakes and all their custom ice cream is definitely eye catching and delicious! I had the strawberries and cream specialty milkshake and you can actually get this in sundae form. I did enjoy it especially the little bite size pieces of cheesecake inside my milkshake, but the cheesecake slice on top was rock hard, so maybe they can let the cheesecake sit in a lower temperature fridge before serving it to customers. The great thing is their straw is wide enough to allow big chucks through. I plan to come back after I sampled the salted caramel because it reminds me of the caramel praline that eddy's use to sell in the grocery store. To be honest all it was missing was some crunch feature and chocolate. Soooo good. They had a team member on the sampler line and her nickname is Nini she was super friendly and attentive. She was very patient and quick on her feet. The place had a very good amount of seating for an ice cream spot definitely more seating than I have found at like cold stone or carvel before. The whole place is a vibe and the wait time even when they are super busy is not long at all. We ordered our ice cream at 6:24pm and received it at our table (yes they brought it to us) at 6:38pm. So kudos to them for keeping a smooth working shift and customers happy. You can find our receipt with my review. For two specialty milkshakes and 2 1 scoop cups came to $55.12 after taxes. Oh and if you need a mason jar cup from your yard cup it's $1.00 each. read more

I was in the mood for ice cream after a long day at the harbor. We stopped by The Yard and I ordered two scoops of vanilla ice cream and a bottle of water. Fair warning or pleasant surprise, the two scoops were huge and I struggled to eat it all. A good problem to have. If you come for the milkshakes be prepared to be amazed. They look like art. I didn't get one but I took a picture. The line to order was pretty fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was crowded but we managed to find seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is veteran owned.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean interior and inviting employees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Stopped in after a filling dinner and wanted a milkshake. I was craving peanut butter and asked the employee which would be the best choice since they didn't have peanut butter ice cream. She suggested a seasonal one with 15 items on it, one being peanut butter spread around the glass rim. Seemed like the peanut butter flavor got lost in all of the chocolate. There was so much going on and I wish I would have just skipped instead of paying 24$ for a single milkshake that was maybe like 16 oz at most! It had edible cookie dough, a choc covered marshmellow with nuts on it, the pb spread, a metric ton of chocolate chips and chocolate syrup sauce, and maybe whipped cream? I wanted overt peanut butter and I got smacked in the face with chocolate. I think the base ice cream was like cake batter or vanilla or chocolate, it was super hard to tell what flavor was going on besides just chocolate since i mixed it all together tryingnto just scrap the pb off the outside of the glass jar. In my opinion, not worth the price I paid for a smaller/medium milkshake. Jake n kev read more

The service here is slow. Not sure if it is because they are understaffed or just not able to produce the milkshakes in an efficient manner. Don't come here unless you're willing to invest an hour. Update: we got our order after 55 minutes and the milkshakes were average. read more

Took my 6YO daughter here for ice cream after I saw this on TikTok. The staff were welcoming and patient as we asked questions when deciding on what to order. My daughter had the Unicow with vanilla icecream. It was super cute and she enjoyed it. I took one scoop to taste it; it was pretty good. I ordered the vegan vanilla icecream cream as it was the only non-dairy flavor they had. It was mostly inedible due to it having pockets of frostbite. This isn't a place we'd frequent due to the cost, but will return on occasion. read more
