The Yard Milkshake Bar

I really wanted to try this place since I was staying downtown. It's obviously known for its over the top shakes and sundaes and that definitely didn't disappoint. But I would honestly say its only okay, its fun to grab one of their creations, but they basically turn into a huge mess. We tried the milk and cookies, smores, and oreo cookie creation. They really pivot to offering a pint jar souvenir, so much that there's a dedicated washing station for it. They do offer free parking validation so thats nice. And they are about 10 minutes walking distance from the convention center. Fun to try out, but I feel I dont need to come back. The staff are great, but looked like they could use more workers helping out, the eating area was pretty dirty and no one cleaned.

Hands down amazing! This milk shake place is next level. Parking is a bit difficult to find and you'll have to park in the garage next door, but it's pretty worth it considering the experience! You get a milk shake (which is already amazing) and then they put a brownie ON TOP of your milk shake, which levels up the entire experience. This is a must-go-to dessert place!

Most reviews seem to hit this on the nose. I can say the appearance of them is way better then they actually are. Certainly wasn't impressed across the board. Slow service was from the start. While I have some room due to knowing what they are actually making but that room was quickly filled and passed over. The taste was not even really mediocre in my opinion. The shake was runny and tasted more like I was drinking milk with the faintest little taste of mint. Overall not great. This location had a very long line with only 3 employees and all of them seemed to want to be anywhere else but here.

Location is not good if this is the only place you're going to because your gonna pay for parking one way or the other. Your eyes are going to lie to your taste buds... everything is over the top. They use Blue Bell ice cream, which is good, but when you see the prices, you think about just heading to the store to get a gallon. Yes, this place is over the top expensive and all the extras you get really don't taste great. I had the Oat Totally Dough Lishous and it was ok... the edible cookie dough isn't anything spec and the cookie they garnish it with looks like a little Debbie's cookie, but doesn't taste as good. My daughter got the The Cereal Killer and that was better. My son got the Doughnut Touch My Coffee and Cream... the doughnut was middle of the road but the ice cream was good. None of us were fans of the whipped cream. Plan on a sugar rush... eat a solid savory meal a couple hours. None of us could finish and they felt bad because of how expensive it was. I told them not to worry about it. Probably best to share.

Great little ice cream spot in DT Phx. It has all kind of gimmicky options of ice cream and shakes to choose from. Me personally I like to sticking to classic treats. I do feel like the pricing is up there but I guess you pay for the experience. When busy service does tend to move a bit slow, so you might have to wait an extra couple of minutes. The ice cream is blue bell so being from Texas we know it’s good lol. Would say it’s worth it on hot day.

Super fun & they are serving up BLUEBELL ice cream which is our personal fav! We appreciated the store being clean and the staff being nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth!
