*** NOTE: they had a huge fire last year in 2024. So they no longer have the factory available for tours at the moment while they rebuild, but they do have a trailer with their product and a way to sample chips as well. It is still worth a visit. This was my second time visiting. We had no idea about the fire until we got to the trailer. But I love how they just figured out how to continue for the time being. Upon entering we were greeted, and all of the employees were extremely helpful and so kind throughout our entire visit. We ended up buying about 16 bags of potato chips. My favorite were the chickpea curry chips. I didn't know what to expect from the chickpea curry chips and those were actually my favorite. They also have some local snacks available to purchase. In the back of the store, they have a way to sample chips for $2.99 a bag. Then you can play seasoning on the chip at a table. I'm sure once they're back up and running it's gonna be just as wonderful as I remember it when I visited a couple years ago . read more

Covered Bridge Potato Chips - Specialty Food Near Me - Wakefield, New Brunswick

Great find the chips are full of potato taste without being thick. I went on the tour and tried flavoring chips at the flavoring bar. I didn't count the number of different flavors available but I'm sure there were more than 40. They sell flavor mixes to add to your chips. They bring in large trucks all the time so there is lots of turning space for a large RV towing a car. We were there on a Saturday in June and kettles were cooking chips full blast. read more

If you're travelling through New Brunswick, then you must stop at the famous Covered Bridge chip factory. Chips are made on site and you will get the best prides here. Most regular sized bags are two for $6. If you buy 12 bags, the 13th is free. They are doing self-guided tours right now for $5 per person and at the end of the tour, you get a fresh batch of chips directly from the employee bagging it at the end of the line. You can take your bag into the gift shop to season with one of the two dozen flavour shakers. If you spend $50, the tour is free so it's really worth loading up to get the free tour but still pretty cool if you just want to pay. read more

Covered Bridge Potato Chips - a truck parked in front of a building - Specialty Food Near Me - Wakefield, New Brunswick

The 7-day Tour East Bus trip that I'm traveling on stopped here; we have 50 tourists in our group. The $222.50 attractions package includes access to the Whale Watching Boat Tour, Thousand Island Boat Tour, Hopewell Rocks, Maritime Museum, etc., of which this attraction is one of the experiences. As the only company in North America that uses Russet Potatoes for their Potato Chips, the guided speaking tour was very interesting. A sample after the tour was a nice treat! There's a gift shop onsite to load up on chips and/or gift items. read more

This here was an unusual find on the way to Saint John. We stopped for some food and gas to find this place beside the gas station. They had a lot of variety of chip for sell and the gift shop is full of souvenirs and jewellery. The flavours were crazy and in abundance as you only get a few in Ontario. They also were doing self guided factory for $5. The staff was very patient and friendly. A good stop to refresh. read more

Visited June 29, 2018 I love potato chips, and can eat an entire bag in one sitting :) If you love potato chips as much as I do, you will LOVE seeing how they make regular and kettle cooked chips. Takes roughly 10 to 20 min to walk through and read all of the slides. Perfect if you're visiting covered bridge anyways. Pros Big windows to see staff actually working making potato chips for you. You can actually SMELL the freshly fried potato chips. Well researched description of the cooking process in English, French and Chinese. Very cool old-school truck in front for Instagrammable photos. TONS of flavours at least 30 that I could count. Some are more seasonal such as lobster flavoured chips! I bought a T-shirt that proudly says Covered Bridge Potato Chips. Cons Chips at the end of the tour tasted a bit stale, but I guess that happens when it's humid outside. Self-guided tour, would have been nice to have a staff member explain and ask questions. Protip - You can buy various flavours of seasoning powder to add to any bag of chips. Damage $10 ($5 per person) read more

We took the self guided tour of the factory. It was fun to watch the potatoes being processed into chips. I think we took about 45 minutes watching the workers and machinery and looking at the Informational and interesting videos and placards about the origins and history of potatoes. read more

Covered Bridge Potato Chips - Specialty Food Near Me - Wakefield, New Brunswick

This is a manufacturing plant and gift shop for the local and east coast popular Covered bridge chips. On the day I visited with a friend we discovered that for $5 they have a self guided tour of their manufacturing process by way of big windows following their production line. Also at the end of thee tour was promised a fresh bag of chips (right off the line) that you could season in their seasoning room from a variety of over 25 flavours your own seasoning. Holy macaroni.....for someone who is a border line "problem" potato chip lover this is like taking a fat boy to a cupcake shop. Yikes...I was thinking I need to control myself. Take deep slow breaths....you can make it there fella! Breathe.....breathe. You pay for $5 before entering and on the walls are various explanations of the potato chip process and explaining the history. SW NB is a very famous potato growing region so it's a great use of the regions bountiful potatoes. The gift shop is packed with every current flavour covered bridge has. You have your usual BBQ, Salt and Vinegar and cracked salt and pepper, also some like MTL steak spice and sweet potato plus jalapeño. All good. The self guided tour starts where a mechanical machine spits cut potatoes into a massive oil filled vat. Then a huge arm mixed em around. Then they are loaded onto a conveyor belt, seasoned and bagged. It's amusing to watch. Near the end a production worker comes out with a white bag of fresh chips. Mmmmm.....you head to the season room and shake season away. For someone who loves chips it's glorious. They had a whole bunch of seasoning not even on market. Such as Thai spice and poutine. At the end after the tour you can take home a couple of bags. A great snack to inhale in front of the TV in the comfort of your home. You may ask why remove one star? I find Covered bridge a bit more on the oily side of taste. They are good chips just not my fave. Overall a great experience for anyone who loves chips. read more

Love the chips, but unfortunately the first time we decided to order directly from manufacturer we had a horrible experience. We had ordered Wednesday October 20 paid for next delivery today is Friday October 22 still not have received order. I Spoke with Jamie at 2pm she had said someone would be back in contact with me today, and now the day is done and everyone has left for the weekend. Still no answers very disappointed read more

Saw these guys at a Food and Beverage trade show in 2015 Eat Vancouver. I feel in love with their chips, especially the Dill pickle, however, they're chips that tasted like any other chip only these are more certified GF. I know that potatoes are GF, however, what a lot of people don't know is that the seasoning used on most chips have a bit of wheat in them. These guys don't. They have truely GF chips which is appreciated. read more
