Overall: 9/10 Ice cream/shakes: 10/10 Service: 5/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Value: 5/10 It's the home of the $18 shake. I mean, their creations are sinfully good! The service and the cleanliness definitely lag way behind.

The Yard takes milkshakes to the next level! Their specialty milkshakes in pint jars have crazy combos like The Buckeye with buckeyes & The Cereal Killer loaded with fruity pebbles! All of their toppings are delicious and their vegan ice cream is great! On top of the milkshakes they have a ton of different edible cookie doughs, floats and ice cream bars! Check it out!

This place is extremely expensive, but they have BLUE BELL ICE CREAM! Blue Bell ice cream is my favorite! Now, I don't have to travel down south to get it. My kids really enjoyed this place, but my wallet didn't. The customer service was not bad. They offer a lot of different treats, but due to the prices, I wouldn't include this in my ice cream routine, unless I am going solo. Customer Service 1-5=3. Ice Cream 1-5=5! Simply because it is Blue Bell!

We were out celebrating my husbands birthday at Arch City Tavern and I knew I wanted to find somewhere with milkshakes because he loves them. A quick search on Apple Maps took us to The Yard. Only a 6min walk down High Street (0.3miles)! It was cold and we were regretting our decision when we finally arrived. From the outside, I wouldn't have thought it was a milkshake bar. The branding is very clean and simple with a black sign and white lettering - unlike the milkshakes they build! Not that they're messy - they're ornate, colorful, and not simple, in a good way! The menu is a bit extensive between the milkshakes, loaded cones, and other goodies. They sell ice cream by the scoop for non-milkshake lovers out there. Blue Bell ice cream is one of the best out there! It's so creamy and flavorful. My son got the Cookies n Worms and it was really good! I thought the milkshake would be overly sweet but it wasn't. Besides the usual Oreos and gummy worms, you also get a small scoop of cookie dough. My husband got the Cookie Dough Delicious. It came with a chocolate rim of mini chocolate chips, a large scoop of cookie dough, and whipped cream topping. He loved it! The biggest surprise was that each one was about $17. You do get to take home the glass tumbler the milkshake comes in, so that's a nice souvenir for sure. Overall, it was a fun treat and I would suggest going there at least once if you like milkshakes! The fact that they serve Blue Bell would be a cause for visiting again for a scoop of ice cream.

Granddaughter loved the face painting at the anniversary party as well as her mermaid ice cream.

Cookie dough Delicious. It was ok. Not very flavorful. Maybe 1 cup of runny milkshake, shake was mostly whipped topping below half of jar to above it. Chocolate chips covered top of jar were stale. 1 scoop of cookie dough in the entire shake. That was it for cookie dough. Manager who made our shake was touching her hair before putting gloves on, did not wash her hands then actually wiped her mouth w gloved hands. Highly disappointed after this highly anticipated visit. Would not by any means recommend this establishment. Side note: I asked employee if she was the manager since she was the only working the front, she said she was. When my daughters and I entered the front, there were no employees for 3-4 minutes, when the one employee did come out from the back there was no greeting no welcome no hello. Not very welcoming. No run down about place, no recommendations, almost irritated she had to prepare an order. We did come in planning to purchase 3 shakes, after seeing how dirty the place seemed, lack of anything from this employee we chose to just start with one. After the manager made drink she disappeared again in the back. Just gave me a gross feeling of not being very clean with the appearance of employees and detail to product. This comes from an experienced GM in hospitality. I would definitely be looking for new employees.

The milkshakes looked like something you would have seen posted on Instagram. If only they were as good as they looked. We must have come at the wrong time. The place was filthy. Sticky floors, dirty tables, and the counter the employees were making the shakes was filthy. I can look past all of that if only the milkshake was good. Unfortunately, the cookies were stale, the milkshake was soupy, and the overall presentation was lacking. For $22, one should expect better. Go to any other ice cream joint in Columbus and you'll get better.

I recently visited The Yard Milkshake Bar, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a vibrant atmosphere filled with the tantalizing aroma of freshly made treats. The menu is a dream come true for any dessert lover, featuring an incredible variety of milkshakes piled high with toppings. I decided to indulge in the Strawberry Cheesecake Sundae, and it was a delightful masterpiece! This sundae featured rich cheesecake ice cream, topped with fresh, juicy strawberries and a generous swirl of whipped cream. Each bite was like a slice of heaven, perfectly blending the creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweetness of ripe strawberries. The presentation was stunning, served in an oversized cup that made it even more enjoyable to savor every delicious bite. The staff were friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and ensuring my experience was nothing short of perfect. The clean and inviting environment added to the overall enjoyment. If you're looking for a fun place to satisfy your sweet tooth, The Yard Milkshake Bar is an absolute must-visit. I can't wait to return and try more amazing flavors!

The picture doesn't do the food Justice but they did the damn thing highly recommend. Also they have great customer service. They were extremely nice even though I was a difficult customer. Also, they give Veteran discounts

I went to The Yard Milkshake Bar with a few friends after having dinner and was not entirely sure what I was expecting. For some reason I thought that this place was more of a restaurant but instead of a standup to order ice cream shop. I felt super bad when we arrived as it was super busy and there was only one person working. The person working was very busy and friendly but they need to have more people with the foot traffic that they had. She was about three orders away when I ordered and the milkshakes take awhile to make since they are so elaborate. The ice cream itself was good but do I need to go back? Not necessarily because the cookie dough was just okay and I was looking for a unique dessert

The birthday cake was amazing and the Buckeye didn't disappoint!!! Will for sure return!

I was very excited to try something here for my birthday and this place did not hit the mark. First of all, it was pretty dirty inside, which we honestly should have left just after noticing that. But the counter they prepared the sundaes/milkshakes on was covered in toppings, the tables looked like they never got washed down and the floor was a mess. Second the staff was not very welcoming, I'm guessing it was a busy day. Lastly, for $22, which is astronomical for a milkshake, it was horrible. The toppings were mostly whip cream and a stale chocolate chip cookie. The milkshake was soup, there was nothing creamy about it. And even the chocolate they dressed the jar in tasted old. Please do not waste your time on this place, as there are some excellent options to get dessert at over this overpriced, dirty and frankly not very tasty spot

Similar to other reviews, I will echo that this is a unique place with instagram worthy milkshakes, but the quality to price isn't quite there for me. The milkshake itself wasn't bad, but also wasn't exceptional for a milkshake that cost $20+ each (with tax and tip). While you get to keep the glass, I'm just not sure what to do with a yard branded glass... and many others customers apparently didn't either as we saw about 8 other glasses that were just left in the cleaning sink. The cookie sandwich was delicious and the best part of the milk and cookies milkshake... but again not enough to justify the cost. I'm completely fine with paying for the quality, but I feel you're paying for the glass (which I didn't really want) and the artistic and creative presentation, which is fantastic. However, with an okay milkshake and relatively flavorless whipped cream... I think this should cost a bit less. I may come back eventually, but likely for the kids and less about wanting a great milkshake.
