    I know Winnipeg has a lot of great places to get a hamburger so I asked for a recommendation from…read moremy aunt who I was visiting. She recommended the Dreamland Diner. So driving back from the Banjo Bowl, I decided to try it out. It was somewhat busy but I was immediately sat in a booth and left with the menu. My eyes are usually bigger than my stomach and I have a habit of ordering more than I can eat. So to play it safe I ordered their smallest burger, the Junior which is basically a double cheeseburger , onion rings, and a milkshake. They had quite an extensive milkshake menu with various flavours and toppings. This was the most difficult decision I had to make so I went with a bubblegum milkshake with marshmallow topping. May sound off putting to some but it was very good. I didn't have to wait long at all for everything to arrive and tucked right in. The onion rings, more Dairy Queen style opposed to A&W, were a bit over done and lukewarm as though they had been sitting for a while. I only ate a few. The burger itself was good. I'm a big fan of using Kraft single cheese slices for burgers as they melt much better than most "gourmet" or exotic cheeses some places use. The patty was a little dry and could have used some seasoning but they mixed diced onions into the meat which added some texture to it. To my surprise I actually finished the whole burger. Surprised not because it wasn't good, it was, but because, like I stated earlier, I'm not a big eater but I left the onion rings behind. Overall it was a good experience. Service was fine. I probably wouldn't go back by myself but if I was with people and they suggested it I wouldn't say no.

    The staff were very cheerful and professional. The food is first rate. Bring your appetite for one…read moreof their burgers! The steady stream of "oldies" playing brings out the charm of this retro style diner.

    Classic Winnipeg spot for ice cream -- definitely worth visiting at least once. The ice cream is…read moregood and creamy, with lots of fun options and toppings to choose from. Friendly service with old-school vibes, but just be mindful of long lines here. The long lines are not necessarily a complaint, though -- it means the place is a must-hit! That said, it can feel a bit heavy and rich, which is why I personally prefer Sargent Sundae for something a little lighter. Still, BDI is a great place to stop on a summer day and enjoy a treat by the bridge.

    Bridge Drive-In (commonly known as BDI) is a Winnipeg institution! It has been around since 1957…read moreserving soft-serve ice cream, milkshakes, and more. It a favourite place for locals and tourists to drop by during warmer weather. A couple of years after I had moved to Winnipeg, a friend of mine took me to BDI. She had a car and I did not at the time. There is parking available, but it does get busy. I last visited Winnipeg in July 2016. I had no problem nabbing a parking spot at around 7 pm. BDI is on Jubilee Avenue. It faces the Red River. There are a few benches where you can enjoy your dairy treat, which is what my friend and I did. There is also a pedestrian bridge that goes over the river if you'd like to take a stroll. When I was last there, I lined up to get a soft-serve cone. This place has plenty of flavour varieties and some specials each day. I was pleased to see vegan options. BDI's most famous flavour is the Goog. It's essentially an upside-down blueberry shake, with a hot fudge sundae and bananas. I believe it comes with whipped cream, too. I love the Saltzberg, which is a Nutella-filled waffle cone with vanilla ice cream, is dipped in chocolate, and has caramel drizzle, sea salt, and whipped cream on top. I realize why I have never walked across the pedestrian bridge with an ice cream delicacy. It's messy to eat and I'm not coordinated enough to eat anything at BDI and walk without a major disaster happening to my ice cream treat. No one wants to see me cry. I ordered a cool lemon soft-service ice cream cone when I was last here. I typically get sprinkles, but decided to try it without them. I love lemon and the ice cream was so creamy. The lemon was bright and refreshing. The cone was perfect. I liked the maple leaf wrap around the bottom of the cone. That evening, it was pouring rain. I had a car rental and no umbrella. I ended up enjoying my ice cream in the car. There was still a steady customer lineup, which shows that folks will come out for yummy ice cream regardless of what Mother Nature has in mind. When I was last here, you could only pay by cash. I'm not sure if it's still the case. For those who love ice cream year-round, there is a BDI store at Kildonan Place now. Yay! I hope to return and get my ice cream fix at BDI when I'm back in Winnipeg. (129)
