the Ultimate OREO® Sundae
Tori B.

I think The Yard is definitely something everyone should get at least once. It is pretty pricey on paper but the portions are huge and it's something you don't see everyday! It can get pretty crowded so sometimes tables can be sparse but when the weather is nice i've sat out on the curb before.

The strawberry Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake milkshake
Andrea S.

Absolutely gorgeous works of art milk shakes. However the cheesecake was frozen solid in the picture and the milkshake was decent but like a 7/10. It was also 19 dollars... cute for an instagram picture though. Staff was relatively nice.

Talk about a food coma! My husband and I had an early, light dinner to save room for dessert. We came into The Yard around 8 pm on a weeknight and we were at first the only ones there. It gave us a chance to talk to the staff about the monthly specials. We saw them online but he didn't have prior knowledge of them in store. Since he had all of the ingredients, he was happy to make them for us. While making our shakes, a few more groups came in and ended up copying our shakes! They were as big and delicious as they look. They cost $18 each though. You do get to keep the glass; there is a washing station in the back. They have other options if you don't want a massive shake. Regular ice cream scoops are of course available. Everything was great, I would recommend!

Cookies 'N Worms

My kid is a true lover of ice cream, so he was very pleased with his milkshake. The place was very clean with very nice decor. However, the service was blah. Not too friendly, seemed like they were bothered we came in, the employee making the milkshake wasn't even friendly enough o let my son take a video of the process to make it.

Great ice cream, prices are what you would expect for a tourist trap. Horrendous service no wonder the lines always out door the staff is annoyed, on their own time, pissed off when you have a question. I've lived here for 25 years this is my second time going never again. Go to Bruster's your moneys worth it, it's family owned, and the staff are the sweetest kids.

Brooke Batter
Granda M.

The Yard Milkshake Bar is such a unique place, and when I saw it on Yelp I had to try it. Ok, this is not your typical ice cream joint. It's creating ice cream ART! Take a look at my pic of the menu, and some of the options comes with a take away glass mug which they have a trough to wash your glass after you have enjoyed your treat! It took three of us to take down the Brookie Batter. It was amazing! The bottom layer was filled with ice cream, cookie dough, then layered with whipped cream and chocolate chips. To finish it off there is a brownie and cookie to make the Brookie Batter complete. If you come across The Yard Milkshake Bar on vacation, road trip, or in our area you must try this ice cream adventure!!!

This milkshake is prob one of the best milkshakes I've ever had! I got the cookie dough and there was an insane amount of cookie dough inside the shake! I highly recommend! I'm sad I haven't come sooner. It's prob my biggest regret. They were playing like millennial hits when I went so there was a lot of nostalgia there as well. I love it and I'll def be back!

Decor.

Prices are absurd. Workers were not friendly at all. (8/1/25). A milkshake and two flavors in a jar ($34). In a tourist area. Oh well. At least get friendly workers. The shop is clean.

Pineapple Upside Down Bowl
Elle J.

Stopped in here late on a Wednesday evening! It was crazy crowded, but the line moved at a decent pace. I was unsure what to order, but decided on the Pineapple Upside Down Bowl due to seeing it was the special for June, plus it looked yummy! After ordering we got our ticket and waited. They got the order out fast, but speed never trumps accuracy! The Pineapple Upside Down wasn't anything like the description mentioned. It was simply a pretty bowl with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, a scoop of cookie dough, and a pineapple and cherry for garnish. The description mentioned a pineapple drizzle and pineapple cake which were absent from mine. It was so crowded, I didn't even bother getting back in line to let them know. The ice cream was good just not what I expected from the description! As far as the workers, everyone I saw was working extremely hard. The only thing was they were working so hard there was little to no crowd interaction. No one greeting as customers walked in and I never noticed any of the workers smiling. I get it though, like I said, it was extremely crowded so maybe that led to the lack of customer service. Nonetheless, I'll more than likely give this place another try when we visit again.

Banana split milkshake
Juanita G.

Loved the process. The service was great. Ambiance was good. I'd love to come back and get one of each option available.

Kandis B.

Nothing extremely special but a fun and clean place to have a good desert after a long day on the beach or hanging around. Many options, from super complicated to scoop in a cone or cup. Service is good, fairly quick. We have come the last two years during vacation. If we come again next year, it's tradition.

Dexter C.

Very very very good ice cream and the whole restaurant was crowded but the food made up for it

Huong E.

Delicious and Fun deserts. This was the second time I visited the Yard. The first time I came in the heat of summer vacation and the line to order was 1 hour long and we left because we could wait that long for desert and with little kids. The second time I came, there was no line and we were able to order one desert that we split. The deserts are like artwork and so filling, it's definitely shareable. So glad we didn't have to wait this time around. Very low key with MANY options. Totally fun to eat for a special treat when visiting Destin, FL

I probably gained 15 lbs by having the milkshake but it was more than worth it. The souvenir jars are an added bonus.

Lately, I haven't been that big on sweets. It has to be really special for me to be willing to use…read moreup my calories. But my husband had been here before and insisted I try something and OMG... EXCELLENT doesn't even begin to cover it. We had the Sticky Bun Croissant (topped with buttercream icing and a caramel-y, slightly hardened bottom) and--HELP JESUS. That thing is PHENOMENAL. Like... immediate silence once we started eating. We also grabbed a slice of the 15-layer chocolate cake (layers of cake, chocolate ganache, and chocolate mousse) and it was straight-up fantastic. Even the bottled drinks were great--I had a sparkling pink grapefruit drink that was really good. My husband previously had the carrot cake bread pudding and still talks about it like it changed his life. Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING we tasted was nothing short of amazing. We literally went back 20 minutes later to grab something to bring to my mother-in-love who lives in another state. That's how serious it was. They also have a few celebratory alcoholic beverages if you're grabbing items for a party, event, or special occasion. And they make beautiful baked goods for events too, so definitely check them out if you've got something coming up. Lady Ray's also offers tea parties! You do need to book in advance, but the setup was so intimate, elegant, and cute. I didn't take a photo of the party while it was happening, but I was genuinely impressed. Such a fun idea for a girlfriends' outing. And Lady Ray herself? Absolutely beautiful, both inside and out. Her friendly demeanor, great sense of humor, and service-oriented heart make you want to come back again and again. If you're anywhere near Lady Ray's, I highly recommend stopping by. Your taste buds will thank you.

The first course was a delicious earl grey with scones, the second was a chamomile tea with the tea sandwiches (YUM), and the third was either a cinnamon tea or a peppermint tea with all the sweets (I'm sure the variety may change over time). We were super full by the end and couldn't even finish half of all the goodies, so we got a to-go box to take the rest home. For the price ($38.99 per person) it was nice to get so much to eat and drink!

Decided on a 6 pack with glazed, chocolate coconut x 2, sprinkles, chocolate glazed x 2. They were placed in a bag rather than box (I should have said something!) so of course the chocolate ended up on the bag and the other donuts. Luckily the donuts were good, though! Also ordered a slice of key lime pie (a must!) and a slice of a chocolate/vanilla cake (moist and perfect if you can't decided if you want a slice of chocolate or vanilla cake!). In addition to pastries, they also ordered food (mainly looked like breakfast and brunch), which looked delicious. If we had more time in Destin, would definitely stop by again for a meal.

The proprietor who was in her car ready to leave after an early morning popped her head out and asked " can I help you?" I said I knew the place was closed but was investigating for the next time.

She the offered to open the store and show me a little pie cake she'd whipped up from left over batter that morning. A test run she said. I bought it! It was delicious and fresh.

I saw the reviews of Cakemasters and thought it would be a great place from which to order one, a German Chocolate one, specifically. Not being super knowledgeable about the area's geography, I found out on the pickup day that the bakery was almost an hour and a half from where we were staying with some bad traffic in Destin. I was cursing my gaffe...until I got the cake. It was wonderful! Lisa baked it that morning and it was so delicious, everyone in the family was raving about how it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd ever had. I did have to add a relative's name to the cake after I picked it up, so please note the picture attached is NOT how she gave it to us. I'd highly recommend Cakemaster's for reasonably priced, delicious cakes!
