Great place for some crazy desserts! The ice cream is good of course but it's all the insane toppings and additions that take it above and beyond. Because of all the sugary insanity, it's not cheap. Service is always kind, courteous, and helpful. It hasn't been too busy the times we have gone. But remember, this is Branson. Places can get crazy busy. Be patient and kind. read more

Always a stop for us if we are by a location! The wait is always long but so worth it! Clean location! Ice cream is great as always! read more

So delicious! It is a must try. So many favors and you can mix and match. The folks who work here are very nice and this business is clean! read more

The ice cream was great. The milkshakes were delicious but kind of pricey Great place to go for a special occasion. You can get cups of ice cream too read more

The absolute best milkshake I've ever had in my life. I really wish I had more to say in this review. Do you want me to expand? I've included a picture. If a picture is worth 1000 words, trust me. My description would be a book. read more

Busy, busy, busy, but really, really, really good. I think one would have to commit to a journey in order to experience all the many flavors and combinations they have to offer. Service is spot on - actually quite exceptional given how busy they are. Ambience is crowded - how could it not be when you're offering something sooo good. The Yard Milkshake Bar will be on our go to whenever in Branson. read more

Delicious and fun, over-the-top ice cream treats. 2:00 on a July Thursday and we beat the rush, but we still had to wait for 9 orders to be delivered before ours. Definitely plan some time to make this stop! read more

Well, I really wanted to like this place. We went here for Father's Day and probably won't be back. We ordered fairly quickly, but had to wait more than 45 minutes for our ice cream to be prepared. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to who's getting their items first, for the most part. I got the cereal killer specialty bowl. The rice crispy treat tasted old, but the cereal on the actual dessert wasn't bad. The ice cream itself was pretty decent, but there were probably two full cups of whipped cream on top. Most of the dessert was whipped cream actually. The entire time we were there, I did not see a single table, get bussed or cleaned in any way, unless the patron cleaned up their own mess when they left. All in all, I give this place a C. Save your money and precious time and just go to Sweet Susie's instead. Sweet Susie's has better quality treats, a cleaner facility, their staff is much more friendly there, and they actually have restrooms in the shop. You don't have to go next door. read more

Ice cream is fine, it's what you would expect for these milkshake places. The milkshakes taste OK, but they look awesome. My kids got excited and loved the presentation. However, the service was atrocious. We waited over 40 minutes for one milkshake and one cup of ice cream after we ordered. The workers were working hard, but they only had two people working on a summer afternoon. Had we have known that was going to take so long, we would've went elsewhere. Would not recommend you come here unless they approve their staffing drastically. read more

We always go to an ice cream place where you can keep your cups for souvenirs. Is a family thing. The ice cream is 18 dls plus tax a piece and is not that big. Honestly is all whip cream. Is ridiculous over price for diabetes in a cup. But is summer vacation so can justify the ridiculous spend. The stag was nice tho and the place was clean :) read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar - Strawberry cheesecake and mermaid - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This was such a cute place. The shakes and ice cream were out of this world. Also there was only one person working and she did an amazing job. Too bad she was alone but she handled it with grace and a smile. Worth the wait. read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar - Donut touch my coffee and cream shake. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Branson, Missouri

This is a feast for your eyes but not so much for your stomach. Unless you can handle an insane amount of sugar! Honestly I probably wouldn't buy again, but it is a neat idea! The ice cream is good but all the specialty desserts toppings are of poor quality and not worth eating. Coming out at around $20 for a glass jar, I'd rather just have the ice cream and not the whole shebang. (I did eat all the mini Cookie Crisp cookies tho) read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar - The Cookie Monster - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Branson, Missouri

As a local, we never come to The Yard Milkshake Bar in Branson unless we have out-of-town visitors who insist. This place is designed for tourists, and it shows. If you decide to go, be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes for your order. Who knew it could take that long just to scoop ice cream in a cone, make a milkshake, or put together one of their over-the-top "foo-foo" desserts? Don't get me wrong--the presentation is beautiful and worth a photo op--but it's absolutely not worth the wait or the price. Their specialty desserts cost around $20, and you're basically paying for the souvenir mason jar, because it's definitely not $20 worth of ice cream. The concept itself is great, but the operation is not efficient. I honestly don't know how they haven't figured out a faster production process by now--it's ice cream! Compared to other specialty ice cream shops, the wait here is ridiculous. Honestly, you could order drinks and entrees at a sit-down restaurant and be served faster than this place. We constantly see people walk away from their orders because the wait is just that bad. And yes, they're open until midnight, but that doesn't help because the line stays long all night thanks to how slow things move. If you're in a hurry or hoping to get in and out quickly, do not go here--it will just frustrate you. All I'm saying is this: if you want ice cream while you're in Branson, go to Andy's, one of the other local shops, or even grab something at Walmart. You'll save time, money, and a lot of aggravation. read more

Was really hoping this place lived up to the hype. The presentation was beautiful and I got the most expensive thing on the menu, the brookie something or other. It was chocolate combo overload and ended up tasting like chemicals. The cookie dough chunks clogged the massive straw and really there was very little milk shake. Also the beautiful decorations were just pre fab cookies and brownies from a big box store. Servers seemed overwhelmed and in need of a break as it was quite busy. Being able to take the jars home was cute and my daughters will enjoy those. read more

The last time we were in Texas we wanted to visit this place so bad, unfortunately we weren't able to make it happen. We were so excited that a few months later we got one in Branson. We each tried something different. The shakes were adequately sized and the flavor was there. However, you go here for the experience and novelty of it more than anything else. These shakes came to $21 a piece (you get to keep the mason jar), and they do charge a service fee if you pay with something other than cash. Would I make this a weekly stop? No, of course not. However, simply put, it's a fun place to come with friends or family. The ice cream is Blue Bell, you're not getting homemade, you're getting the presentation. The place was clean, the staff was friendly, and you got exactly what the picture showed. (We're coming back to try the edible cookie dough next!) read more

Can't wait to go back!! Everyone got a different milkshake to try and they were all AMAZING!!

It was really expensive & they charge a restaurant fee on top of it. We got our shakes to go, and my husband and I were going to share an XL specialty and it wasn't any more ice cream than what my sister received with a normal shakes (though we received more toppings). The ice cream was decent & it was really busy/popular. The cookie dough was good too. If they could make their pricing more reasonable it would get 4 stars from me. read more

We waited about 45 mins. Don't even want this ice cream anymore Staff has no urgency. This place is in shambles.

Wow! What a awesome idea for your milkshakes!! So good and so different! We went in close to closing time and they were so kind and polite! We never felt rushed or lime we were unwelcome. 10/10 would recommend! Fun and exciting twist on milk shakes! read more

The Yard Milkshake Bar - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Branson, Missouri

I am not impressed at all with this place. It is just Blue Bell Ice cream with a ton of whipped cream and attachments that anyone with popsicle sticks could do to their own ice cream. Save your money and go to Sweet Susie's where you can customize it completely and get your moneys worth. This is not at all worth it 100% a tourist trap. I will never be going back to this place ever once waited 45 minutes for two scoops of ice cream with a cupcake on top of it. read more

The ice cream was delicious! Lots of options for toppings. Unique treat options. Service was quick. Only complaint is it's a little too pricey for what you get. read more

Waited over 30 minutes for a Sunday. They were giving other customers their order first, when they clearly came in after us. When I asked about where we were in their que, I got a response that indicated ZERO F's given. To top it all off, they had the nerve to ask for a tip before they completed the order (as I was paying). I should have never pre-tipped. The service at this place is terrible. The employees could have at least pretended to care about their job a little. read more

This place is a JOKE!!!! We waited 20 minutes in line to order then we were told after we ordered that it would be a 45 MINUTE WAIT!!!! Oh ya and they were out of SO MUCH SHT. This place was ridiculous!! Great concept but terrible execution. read more

Wonderful tasty treat. Service was excellent and presentation was amazing. There was so many combinations to choose from as far as shakes. And if you want something simple, a scoop of ice cream will do. read more

There were several signs that said to tell the employees about any allergies. So I told the employee that my daughter has a tree nut allergy and I asked if the cookie dough was made with any tree nuts. She just shrugged and stared at me. I said, "well can you find out?" And she finally went to ask someone else. I don't fault the employee for not being sure, but at least pretend that you care and offer to go find out. Food allergies can be life threatening. There was a lengthy wait after we ordered but we did end up enjoying the treats- which is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. read more

Bring a sleeping bag and a pillow and catch a nap as you wait for your overpriced simple milkshake. 35 minutes for a single milkshake that was no better than a milkshake you get at a burger joint. Waste of time and money. read more

Elon, Kylie, and Belle are the most awsomest people in the world and there super nice and if you ask Elon he said he owns space x and can take you to space. Kylie is very extremely nice and cool and really knows how to make ice cream. Belle was super helpful and knows what she is talking about and also know how to make some mean cookie dough milk shake ice crram. Over all it's a very cool and awsome and big baller place to hang and eat. read more
