I was inpatient at Novant recently and my daughter was in town as a result. She went out for some lunch one day returned with a chocolate malt from The Yard Milkshake Bar. It was one of the most delicious treats I have EVER tasted!!! Silky smooth with rich chocolate and malty taste to completely satisfy. It put on the road to recovery! TRY ONE...YOU WILL LOVE IT TOO! read more

Stopped in to try a fancy milkshake. So many sounded delicious so it was really hard to choose. I decided on the Cookie Monster specialty bowl. It was very pretty, presentation was 10/10. However it was a large bowl of ice cream with an equal amount of whipped cream on top, plus a cookie dough sandwich. As you would expect, overpriced for what you get, but that is the novelty of this type of ice cream shop. The ice cream was good, but it did seem like they used way more blue food coloring than necessary. It was deep panthers blue and stained my lips and tongue. I wouldn't get that again. Service was good, the staff was very friendly and our orders came out quickly. Inside there is plenty of seating and the store appeared to be clean. read more

I just had my cooking monster ice cream and it was delicious. I don't regret a single thing about it now I'm hooked. I wanna try every other flavor on the menu. This place is amazing and the fact that they give you the ice cream in a mason jar it's very classy, I love it. read more

I stopped here after grabbing brunch across the street. I ordered a pecan praline and sea salt caramel milkshake with whipped cream and it was delicious. They also validate parking for the deck. They have a cookie dough bar as well and a few other desserts if you don't want a milkshake. read more

If you are really low on sugar and are also an ice cream lover, this is the place for you! LOCATION Located in one of the nicest locations of the city, The Yard is on the first floor of a residential building with other businesses around within walking distance. Common areas were clean and comfortable. MENU The menu offers many options of ice cream and regular and specialty types of milkshakes beautifully presented. My wife and I ordered regular milkshakes (coffee for her and I got the salted caramel). They were really good! SERVICE The service was pretty decent. Overall, 100% recommended. read more

The milkshake was delicious and so was the edible cookie dough! Honestly it was a cute little place, but they forgot our order (totally fine) and we waited for like 20 mins. Once we let them know, they actually forgot the second half of our order so we had to wait even longer! It happens! The fancy milkshakes look delicious- love the cute cups! read more

Fun and inviting! Large portions and delicious ice cream. We had the Birthday Bash, Pralines & Dream, and the Mint Chocolate Mudslide sundaes! All were delicious! Service was great and they let you take home the glass mug the sundae's are served in. They have a dedicated wash station where you can rinse you jar out after you finish eating!! read more

Messy!!! Big!!! Delicious!! So creative and fun. It is a little expensive but clearly you are getting a large portion. read more

Omg a whole mason jar of fresh delicious edible cookie dough! Everyone loved it. You can feel the sugar granules crunching which added a fun texture. The counterstaff offered free samples of ice cream while we were waiting on line. I thought parking was going to be a pain but it wasn't. Don't forget to validate your ticket. Plenty of tables inside and a little outside. read more

THIS PLACE HAS EDIBLE COOKIE DOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! I am an absolute sucker for cookie dough. So much that I'm actually surprised I've never had salmonella, because I'm not afraid to eat it raw. Luckily for me, this place is doing me a solid by mitigating that risk. Now that I've discovered the NINE flavors of edible cookie dough, I'm golden. You can find me here gobbling up the Blue Bell ice cream, speciality milkshakes (which are quite extravagant and served in a mason jar with lots of toppings), and of course the edible cookie dough. read more

If I could do zero stars I would. ABSOLUTELY APPALLED BY THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE the three girls working tonight displayed. We were visiting from out of town and tried to hustle over there after the ballgame even with traffic from the city. The flippant lack of respect and overall disregard for customers was a disgrace. To demonstrate behavior of acting putting out for doing their job was pitiful. Furthermore, the gossiping about the customers behind the counter because they came in 12 min before closing for ice cream just solidified the lack of professionalism and entitlement. Extremely disappointed by my experience at The Yard Milkshake Bar and that I couldn't experience it with my loved ones before we left town. read more

Tried the sea salt caramel truffle. It was really good! I loved the caramel flavor and it wasn't too salty either. The ice cream was a little icy though read more

Basic milkshakes are very yummy, however they are a little on the expensive side. Definitely an experience especially if you get the specialty milkshakes. read more

The milkshakes here are huge and lots of varieties! I had the cookie monster one and it came in a souvenir glass. Great place if you love milkshakes! Never seen so many varieties! read more

Overrated not good expensive very disappointed never coming back to this place, I brought my grand kids for ice cream but it was a good experience. read more

I stopped in because of the cow mascot outside. I enjoyed the fact that they offered a dairy free menu. You can grab a cup or shake and customize it. The oatmeal cookies were great and the ice cream didn't taste bland like sometimes dairy free ice cream can. read more

Finally, Blue Bell in NC, Y'all! Alright, let's get one thing straight: if you're from Texas, Blue Bell ice cream is not just dessert--it's a way of life. It's practically written into our state constitution, right between barbecue and football. So, when I moved to North Carolina and realized there was no Blue Bell... well, let's just say I questioned my life choices. I almost Googled "emergency ice cream delivery." Annnnnd then, out of nowhere, The Yard shows up, and they're serving Blue Bell milkshakes like it's no big deal. No big deal?! It's HAPPINESS in a cup. These people should be knighted--or whatever the Southern equivalent of that is. Honored with a lifetime supply of casseroles? Something important... Anyway, the shakes. They're so thick, you could use one as a foundation for a house. You think you're getting a drink, but really, you're signing up for a construction project. You don't "sip" one of these; you excavate it. You'll need a mouth shovel (a spoon), and maybe some moral support. And the flavors? They took everything that's great about ice cream, threw it in a blender, cranked it up to an 11, slapped some whipped cream on top, and said "may the lord be with you." Honestly, if you haven't been yet, what are you even doing with your life? Five stars because they brought a piece of Texas to NC, and now all we need is a Whataburger next door. If that happens, I may never leave. read more

One of the best milkshakes I've ever had in my life! This location has got it going on. Serving some of the best ice cream and milkshake concoctions you'll find in the Charlotte area! The staff were so friendly, the facility was super clean and the desserts are award-winning!there is free parking outback in a parking deck. Be sure to check out their monthly specials as they rotate them with new ones each month. I can't wait to return! read more

I don't recommend this place, both times I've come here the checkout flow is so confusing it creates a line on purpose instead of having an efficient queue. The ice cream is bluebell so just get it from the grocery store. Save the trip and and money read more

The ice cream is too sweet and they add so much on the sundaes. It takes away from the ice cream experience.

Had to check out this crazy milkshake place! It was easy to park in the deck and they validated our ticket! There are so many flavors and combinations to choose between. The staff was helpful and gave us time to choose and even made suggestions! The vibe is more minimalist/laid back and seating is slightly limited. Overall, the ice cream is really good and I want to try all the flavors! read more

nothing much to do since the sun sets so early unlike next week so I figured I'd come down and treat myself to some of nature's goodness (it comes from cows y'know) not super busy when I arrived so I dawdled a bit figuring out what I wanted and decided to go with my usual: a banana split!! so today was training day because everyone has a first day at everything so under the manager's careful direction my sundae was assembled by the newby :-) the Yard's rendition comes in a mason-type jar all fancied up with stuff like a band of chopped nuts adhered around the rim with a generous slather of fudgey chocolatey goodness and an actual banana impaled on an non-popsicle-brand stick all covered in whipped topping and drizzles and more nuts!! it's a gawdawful mess to try to eat and someone might want to consider bigger plates and maybe bibs... and a fire hose for to clean up. it ain't your mom's ice cream place but it could be your uncle's if you play your cards right. not sure what else is around here for an excuse to come back but if I am I will and if you are you should because, well, you know... it starts with cows. read more

Finished my Sunday night off here with a sweet treat! I have been here before just to try the ice cream which has always been delicious. This time I decided to try one of their specialty milkshakes and was so happy I did. Split a delicious chocolate peanut butter milkshake with a brownie on top and it was so yummy! Even watching my milkshake be made was fun as I watched the staff make it with such care. She even served it for us outside and was so kind. The best part was at the end there is a cleaning station to clean out your glass to take home with you as a keepsake. Overall delicious and great service! Will be back to try many more of their different dessert specialty options! read more

This was a lot. Great service, seating is limited, perfect for a small date. The big guy in the blue shirt is super friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. Which does offer no toppings on your milkshake if you dont want a full dessert as a side. And you get to keep the mason jars. It's definitely worth the money. Oh, and the employee with the piercings. Totally forgot her name. She's cool asf. I'd rate this place higher if i could. read more

My family went here had a nice time cool milkshakes good service definitely recommend ice cream good but I like handles better more creamy

Good presentation, weird ice cream... EXPENSIVE ice cream(weird tasting).. we paid about $40 bucks for 2 milkshakes.... 4-0. We ended up chucking the milkshake and not asking for the souvenir cup we paid for.. forgettable. read more

If you want a quick cup of ice cream this is not your spot. Went here for 2 cups of ice cream and ended up waiting 30+ min. 1 person making orders for people in line, DoorDash and Uber eats for a Saturday night. Ice cream was subpar better off going to teeter read more

Cool presentation, but unfortunately, the milkshake tasted so bizarre that I could not drink it. I ordered the cereal killer and the actual milkshake tasted like chemicals. Very strange taste. $18 is just too expensive for a milkshake no matter how much you dress it up. Three milkshakes cost me over $60. read more

Really cute ice cream and milk shake place I'm. A nice area. Parking available in attached garage. Lots of flavors and options for ice cream and shakes. They were short staffed today and from the looks of the reviews, not the first time. That is a shame not so much cause we waited a while but the two girls working are getting killed with all the orders. Please get them more help !!!! They are working so hard. read more

We waited for an hour to get our ice cream and the wait being long wouldn't have been a problem but the ice cream was not worth while and the cookie dough we ordered in a pint wasn't even cold. The only thing i would recommend going for is a cute picture. If you're looking for a good TASTING ice cream place this isn't the one... (p.s this place is extremely overpriced as well) read more

Came here for the vegan milkshakes only to find out they recently switched to a non-dairy ice cream that is not vegan. Do not come here if you are looking for vegan options. Their menu online is out of date as of January 2025. They do have Dole soft serve, which is vegan, but not the chocolate and vanilla ice creams/milkshakes advertised online. read more

The desserts were very sweet almost too sweet but it was good a lil pricey. They make you pay for a lid after pay almost 20 for the milkshake read more

it was ok.. if you like whipped cream, this place is for you! 70% of the "ice cream" is just whipped topping. By the time you get to the ice cream you're full. Cool for the look and pics but outside of that, nothing too exciting. read more
