"Holy Expensive Milkshakes, Batman! The Yard is definitely a place to check out for the sheer spectacle of it all, but it was a bit of a learning experience. While their creations are creative and visually stunning, the juice isn't quite worth the squeeze in my opinion. The shakes themselves weren't as thick as a good milkshake should be, and they were incredibly messy to eat. Putting a brownie on top of a mason jar with a mountain of whip cream and sprinkles just doesn't justify a $22 price tag. On the bright side, the service was great! The staff were all smiling and friendly, which was a definite plus. However, while cute, the space inside is quite small with limited seating, and the place just wasn't as clean as it could have or should have been. There's a lot of creative effort here, but unfortunately, I feel, the value just doesn't quite match the expense. But then again, you can't really put a price tag on an experience, right? My advice for anyone wanting to check it out: if you don't want to spend $80 on specialty milkshakes for a family of four, just stick to the regular shakes or ice cream or visit one of the many "regular" ice cream shops in town. However, if you want to be be able to say you tried it, go for it, just be prepared for the sticker shock at checkout."

"We stopped by The Yard Milkshake Bar in Austin and tried the strawberry cheesecake milkshake, the mango ice cream (with real mango pieces, which was lovely), and my son went for the cotton candy ice cream. The shakes are definitely fun and over-the-top, perfect for the experience. The space itself is a bit cramped with limited seating, and while the ice cream tastes about the same as other shops, the price is definitely higher. Still, it’s worth it at least once for the outrageous milkshakes and the “just to say you did it” factor."

"Great selection of Blue Bell ice creams. The service was ok, a bit slow. They ran out of plain sugar cones? …yes. Overall, a good experience albeit a bit pricey."

"Ice creams we tried were delicious. The milkshakes we got were world class. The man who helped us was friendly, helpful, and carried himself well. Armando was his name I believe. Will come back."

"Paid $40 for watery milkshakes, my whipped cream fell off within seconds of walking out of the store. The presentation was amazing but they should work more on the flavors as well it didn’t taste like birthday cake it tasted like milk with chunks of ice cream …"
