    The Unicorn; Signature Milkshake
    Dolly S.

    So many flavors and options to choose from. I got a Signature Mlikshake called The Unicorn, which is a cotton candy ice cream. It was so pretty! Not too sweet either. I got to keep the mason jar cup that it came in.

    Strawberries and Cream Cheesecake milkshake

    I stopped by the Yard Milkshake Bar with my boyfriend and his youngest son because I heard I just HAD to have the best milkshakes ever, they said it was an experience and I can confirm that I 100% agree! The milkshakes are unreal because they are HUGE and delicious. They have a large selection of ice creams and toppings and even offered samples when I felt like I couldn't make a decision (thanks because this definitely helped me choose that yummy strawberry cheesecake). It might be a good idea to come here hungry because the milkshakes really are that big, I'm not even kidding. Take a look, ask to sample some you are curious about, and definitely get yourself a milkshake, you won't regret it. I LOVED the strawberry & cream cheesecake milkshake soooooo much but it was a lot. I couldn't finish it. Still....zero regrets getting this one!

    This was our first time here and it won't be our last! The staff was patient as we decided what we all wanted to order. My parents each got single scoops in a cone, my middle ordered sorbet, the other two shared a massive shake and I indulged in a "bowl" with my hubby. All was delicious! The seating area is spacious and was clean. There are hand washing sinks available within sight of the dining area, without having to go into a restroom. There is also some outdoor seating which will be great when it warms up.

    To begin with, I would like to assess whether you are working within a specific budget. You may find that the milkshake bar Carrollwood, isn't quite to your liking. I had the privilege of being among the first fifty individuals to experience its offerings when it came to this location, it's only a short four-minute drive from my home, making it an enticing and convenient destination for a sweet treat. It terms of Service If there's only one person working, then the service is quite respectable, but if theirs more than two the employees they love to chat amongst themselves and wont acknowledge you until the last minute. I got one of their $18 specialty milkshake designs and split it between four people because the amount of sugar and calories would blow your mind. If they were to cut back there, menu prices 2 to 3 dollars this would be a great biweekly to yourself, overall is still worth checking out as cute and clean aesthetics. I love the wooden interior and benches placed in the lobby. all the ice cream flavors are pretty much spot on and are quite enjoyable as well.

    If you're looking for a giant delicious milkshake, this is your stop! On this particular day, that's exactly what we were looking for and what we got. The flavor in the milkshake I had here - the cookie dough one - was absolutely wonderful and I really appreciated that you get to take home a nice sturdy glass jar with it. Definitely makes the $17.99 price tag more worth it. Taking off a star because out of the five things we ordered, three of them were incorrect in some way. The person making things wasn't listening/paying attention clearly. There was no one else in the shop so no excuse in being distracted/busy, so not sure exactly what went wrong.

    Looked at the menu beforehand so we knew the milkshakes were large and expensive. Wish the milkshakes came in a smaller size. We opted to have an ice cream cone and a small bucket. Both were delicious and service was fast. On a Friday evening was not packed at all and we were able to sit inside.

    The cereal killer and peanut butter brownie bliss

    I promise it tastes as good as it looks. This spot is not only providing you supremely instagramable desserts, it's bringing taste too. I knocked it down one star because of cost. Each shake is roughly $16-19 pending. While it was fun to try once and definitely an experience - the place is abuzz with excited faces and wide eyes, lots of owwws and aweeesss - it's not practical for the average family or person to go whenever they have a craving for a milkshake. It's more of an occasion spot. Definitely worth the try though - at least once!

    Today is the day for ice cream! The Yard is at a great location off Dale Mabry in a little hidden gem courtyard area. There's indoor and outdoor seating options. Outdoor seating is covered I believe. Lots of ice cream and shakes options. Be prepared as these shakes and ice cream are pricey! I will add that the $16 specialty shakes include the jar they come in. There's also a jar washing station to clean out your sticky shake jar of you finish it while there. Lots of flavors to choose from. If you order a regular shake you can add up to 3 flavors for $7 which is also rather pricey. I'd have given 5 stars if not for the pricing. Customer service was great! The kids working were very friendly and hard at work. They helped us understand our options and waited patient while we decided. We probably won't be back until we win the lottery or receive a steep inheritance... But if you don't mind spending what you would on dinner, this place is fun!

    Came in with our friends from Georgia so they could try this place. They got the Peanut Butter brownie bliss and we tried something new, the Buccaneer. Still cannot give them five stars because I just don't understand what takes 30-45 minutes to fix my ice cream order and then they only bring one order out at a time despite you being with a group. It's not like you can let your ice cream sit because it will melt. Seating is also limited for the traffic they receive. The Buccaneer was ok, very chocolatey and the brownie football just wasn't as good as the brownie that we've had before on the bliss. Still recommend trying however be prepared to wait!!

    Key lime pie milkshakr

    Is their milkshake better than mine? Heck yes...lol. Even before learning Mark Cuban supports this business, I've been here a couple of times with friends and family. We are ALWAYS amazed by the humongous milkshake concoctions. We ended up sharing a Buccaneer this time around and it I'd a chocolate lovers dream. Chocolate shake with a brownie on top of whipped cream with what I think was an oreo crust on the glass jars rim. My blood sugar ran screaming for its life and I just shoved it into its coffin and nailed it shut...lol. The milkshake itself is nice and creamy and the toppings are stupendous...BUT. I have to ding one star because it does take quite a bit of time to get your treat (around 30 minutes this time, sometimes LONGER if it's busy). But if you're a sweet tooth and don't mind hanging out, this is definitely a must try spot!

    We've been waiting for a special occasion to check out the Yard Milkshake Bar and today was it! It did not disappoint the ice cream was so creamy and the portions were huge! Perfect for sharing all the delicious flavors!! There was plenty of seating and the staff was friendly and helpful. They offer samples to make sure you find the perfect flavor.

    I got one of the small signature item. It was good, but in my opinion a little over priced.

    Green mint monster
    Tina D.

    This ice cream and exquisite milkshake bar is full of incredible delights. Milkshake combos you have never even thought of plus a souvenir milkshake mason jar to take home! They have thought of everything because they even have a sink area where you can rinse out and bag up your souvenir jar to take home. the only reason I did not give it a 5 star is due to the price points for all the items - you would not be likely to take your family out for dessert one night and drop $17 per milkshake. Is it worth doing it as a special dessert option once in a while? Yes!

    This is some serious ice cream. Come hungry.

A full service bar and restaurant on one side and a lounge type atmosphere on the other side with a live DJ. They play a variety of rnb and hip hop from old school to modern day. I really had a nice time. The reason only 4 stars was due to the host not being actively present at the reception area when you walk in. He was too busy on the lounge side dropping it like it was hot and helping the bottle girls "hold" the sign. We stood at the host stand upon entry for a while until someone went to get him from the other side. The food was just "ok". For the price of the food I expected more. I had the lemon pepper honey wings and the chicken and French toast. The wings were not cooked through and served in a bowl which made it very difficult to eat. It came with 2 cornbread muffins that were dense and very dry. The French toast was great. I opted for the one with peaches and icing. It was great. It was served with chicken tenders. Again, in a bowl, which made it very difficult to cut, as I had to dig in the bowl. They were ok, a little on the dry side, the breading was falling off but they were edible. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was good. No complaints there. Would I go back??? Yes, I'll probably try something different on the menu. I feel like if the service was a bit better, more attention to detail on the food and the plating of food was different it would have earned 5 stars. But I had an overall nice time.

I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.
