    All the food is horrible. The service is only slightly better than the food. I say keep going and don't stop.

    Went for breakfast, service was terrible, had to re-order, other people were complaining that their food was cold and demanding a refund.

    Dairi-Wip Drive-In - Ordered a poutine, but after the first few bites it was just a plain fries.

    Best fatboy and burgers in all of Winnipeg. They only take debit and credit, but personally if…read moreyou're going to try one in the city this is the only best bet.

    Dairi-Wip Drive-In used to be great it still has good food but they use different hot dogs now no…read moremore snap when you bite into them. I noticed this recently and the fries with chilli my wife and my favourite in the city are greasy as hell now. Also the guy at the front is rude and condescending typical spoiled brat vibe and they do not serve in order she waited and my wife has heart issues so standing their waiting for our order. I can not stand long because of a disability so she went in and immediately mention the counter guys attitude which surprised me as my wife is a super bubbly friendly person who treats everyone around her with respect she avoids confrontation at any cost so i was not happy when i heard and saw how shaken she was!!!! She watched everyone get their food ahead of her and she ordered before all of them plus gave them a 15 percent tip when she paid. We will not be going back again after going their for over 60 years this was our last visit. Ever since the old Italian guys sold it it has gone down hill ! Between the attitude of the server who acts like he is doing you a favour by serving you i mean i noticed it once before i went by myself and was not busy they really need to move him to the back or i am worried someone might clean his clock his attitude screams please punch my face type of guy. The hot dogs now seem to be of a much lower quality then before. They must have changed their supplier before they snapped when you bit into them like European style hot dogs like before when they were served everywhere when Winnipeg was a much more European type of place with a European influenced culture being the most dominant. Now they taste like maple leaf crap that's the reason so many people loved them because not as many places had that style of hot dog anymore and the once incredible fry and chilli is becoming a gross greasy mess!! I do not mind a little grease but when its a 1 inch soup at the bottom of a plastic container soaking through the bag its in that's when i have a issue with it this and many other things including the high prices. This was always a blue collar place a place where a working man could afford to take his family on a Saturday drive for ice cream and burgers and still have some change left in his pockets. Many still go they are always busy some of this i believe is based on nostalgia but if things do not change they will start to lose business. I hope they read this and take it as constructive criticism coming from a long long time customer who supports local businesses religiously who has been going like i said to this place since 1965!! Please make the changes because its a Winnipeg institution one i hope goes on forever as Winnipeg has lost so many great family restaurants over the last 15-20 years so many really great places that served great Canadian and British food like great prime rib and Yorkshire pudding at The Beefeater a typical Canadian Sunday dinner when i grew up here Alycia's C Kelekis the Paladin so many great Ukraine and Italian where as now its all East Indian and Chinese stuff!!! Your chilli is still good but is missing something that it had before plus we could do without the the excessive grease soup at the bottom never had that issue with the former owners that just shows lack of caring about what your serving the paying customer and the burgers are still good and so are the plain Frys but they used to be great and they can be again sometimes success ruins something special and i see it coming with this place. Please go back to the old hot dog supplier or deep fry them for a second or two like you used to the old Italian guys knew best and make sure to drain excessive grease off customers fry and chilli and please get someone taking payments who can deal with the public that is a nice personable likable person not someone with a smarmy passive aggressive attitude . Hire someone who enjoys this type of interaction with the public not some rude angry guy with a chip on his shoulder . I understand that it can be difficult at times people can be jerks but if you treat nice people like that even in a passive aggressive manner smart people can feel it and recognize it and that is enough to lose them as customers. Dairy Whip deservers someone who can handle it professionally and its loyal customers should be treated with respect many have been customers since it opened in the late 50s!!!!! Without them you can not operate a profitable business. My father in-law who is not a fussy eater complained last year when we took him here as he lives out of town and wanted to try his teenage favorite place he was so disappointed and it was out of character for him as he will eat almost anything and be grateful for it!!! At the time i just shrugged it off but i finally had to call it out .I hate to have to write this review but in doing so i hope it will help Dairy Whip get back on track as one of the best drive inns in Winnipeg again!!!

    Dairi-Wip Drive-In - Dairi-Wip's old beat up sign. I think it looked like this when I was a kid, so it's probably even worse now!
