Bridge Drive-In Review

Wide variety of ice creams to choose from. Just a heads-up..don't buy the banana split if you don't have someone to help you finish it...It's huuge! :D
All the ice creams are okay. Sometimes they forget to put nuts on even when you ask for them. CASH ONLY...ice creams cost around $5- $8 each.

Was driving by and there wasn't a mile long line up!! Got a peach velvet which is a peach milkshake, peaches, the creamiest ice cream you've ever had, whip cream and a cherry! Was so good!

My favourite there is Goog sundae.. They increased prices though

Pamper your Taste Buds with the taste of Local Ambience. Walkin the Bridge and Eatin the Icecream. Perfect Combo.

No longer the same place it used to be. The soft serve is comparable to McDonald's, toppings and fixings are nothing to write home about.

walk over the bridge and enjoy your treat

Alas it was my first and last visit this year, their soft serve is the best in the city and the creative treats are nearly impossible to choose from. I had the Salzberg and after one taste my lactose intolerant friend gave in and got one herself!

The goog is pictured here: blueberry milkshake, banana, hot fudge, nuts and whipping cream... Aka HEAVEN. Just go if you haven't been!

A beautiful place to spend time with loved ones and enjoy timeless and creative ice cream treats :)

A huge variety of creamy ice cream, worth the wait.

I've been going to BDI ever since I was little and I always used to get the chocolate dipped vanilla soft surve! But I've been really into anything strawberry lately so I got the strawberry flurry and oh man was it good, so soft and creamy not to overpowering with the flavor! Perfect icecream and great prices too! Very friendly staff and great experience everytime

Always a good place to have ice cream. Line may build up, but you wouldn't notice if you've got friends and family to tag along.

I not even a fan of soft ice cream but it is amazing here. Note: cash only and no hard ice cream. And unless you go on a very rainy or cold day, be prepared for very lengthy lineups. Fabulous location for a beautiful walk across the the bridge over the Assiniboine River.

Very good ice cream, sundaes, specialties. Stay away from the milkshakes, very runny.

Tried jennarea's ice cream sandwich, really good! And they are finally accepting cards!

Good place for ice cream with friends and family. But, they need to start taking plastic maney or cards for transactions.

To be sincere nothing special about it but made a memory to be my first date.

A local ice cream experience. A Winnipeg experience which you see people, drive, walk, bike and Canoe/Kayak too. A walk across the bridge with the water and speed boats below while enjoying the sunset and the cool icecream or Shake is complimentary! Vegan , Non dairy and Nut free options are plentiful.

Great ice cream, long waits, only accepts cash, no bank machine. Small parking lot.

Such a good deal for incredible iced cream creations!

Great ice creams! Had the Gook and it was wonderful

The best ice cream. Loving the new cashier set up. Makes things much faster.

Always a staple whenever I come to visit Winnipeg from Toronto. The Sleeping beauty and the Vegan Strawberry ice cream is what makes this lovely place stand out

Relatively new to the city so doing a fair bit of exploring and really enjoyed the BDI several times this summer. This place serves DECADENT icecream specials - I really fell for the saltzer (but asked for less salt) and couldn't get over their nutella filled cone. I can't wait to come back next summer. Lots of parking, great park/bridge/river to walk around with your cone and pretty view when you're walking on the bridge. Soft serve icecream so you have options to order flavoured milkshakes and other things. Almost too many options for flavours - it can be hard to decide what to get if you're like me and indecisive. You can't go wrong getting one of their generous specials in my opinion. Cash only.

I have lived in 5 of the 10 provinces in Canada and visited all but one. The ice cream served at BDI Bridge Drive In is the BEST that I have ever had. And I LOVE ice cream. If you ever come to Winnipeg to visit or live, make sure you pay a visit to BDI.. They are open Spring, Summer and Fall.

Long line, the -1star is because the ice cream is damn good but it isn't completely worth the line

Very watery milkshake, It s also very sweet like too sweet. You guys need to add to more milk or preferably almond milk. Did I mention how watery the milkshake is? Can t even consider it a shake, maybe just a rotation

Top rate bloody awesome ice cream with a fabulous location!

Lots of options but basically soft serve ice cream in a variety of ways. Prepare for a long lineup in the summer and it's only open in the summer. Has 6 windows but I've only ever seen two open at a time.

Heres a headline for the summer - Waited in line 20 minutes for 2 chocolate dip cones that melted before the time me and my girlfriend even walked to bridge LOL! Not only was the ice cream a pile of melted soup dipped in chocolate, but it was melting all over the bridge at 9pm in the evening in cool 20 degrees celsius weather. Between feeling embaressed after having the sliding window slammed in my face rudely by the kid working there and having to walk down the bridge with melting disappointment in my hands we both could not be bothered to stand in line to complain at useless staff so we tossed our ice cream over the bridge and sealed our fate. Thank you BDI for being so awful of an experience and reminding me why sargeant sundae is always the better choice. And to top it all off they were out of waffle cones!

A Winnipeg classic, no summer is complete without a trip to the BDI. My favorite is the Smores cone, with creamy chocolate sauce and mini marshmallows! Take your ice cream out to the bridge and watch the boats go by.

Be warned, they only accept cash, and there are no bathrooms on the premises.

Excellent iced cream, for a reasonable price! The only thing I don't like, is that it's so good, there is always a big line. Glad we don't have one in Brandon, or I'd be be broke and have no clothes that would fit....

The website and Google says they open at 11 so I was (and other customers) waiting outside for them to open and the lady opened the window saying they open at 12. It would be easy for them to change the times to prevent such confusion and waste of time

A Winnipeg tradition!
Perennial favourite.

Huge lineups. Bad tasting and environmentally unfreindly dairy products. The greedy new proprietors are wrecking the reputation of the place. They need to put some money into cleaning it up.

Tasty ice cream and some great views off the old Bridge!

What can I say? Bdi has the best ice cream in winnipeg. Try the sleeping beauty and salzberg. Thank me later

Enjoyed a swirl ice cream cone and walked across the bridge to our car.

Delicious ice cream. If you want ice cream and you're in Winnipeg it's a must go! Order something and go walk around a beautiful part of the city! I'm a little biased seaming as I used that location for engagement and wedding pics...

Been coming here since I was a little girl nothing like it. Amazing

Watched my friend break up with a guy here, good ice cream though

Gluten free icecream and beautiful scenery. Great walk on the bridge while you indulge in beautiful treats

Only 2 windows open Sunday afternoon. At least 45 minutes in line for the best ice cream on Winnipeg.

Last Saturday took a run to BD; I an icecream place on Jubilee. Nice summer day. The soft ice cream is fantastic. From Sundaes, shakes and of course soft ice cream cones...small, medium, large. Right on the river with a bridge crossing the Assiniboine river.We were lucky that day, it wasnt that busy; but it can get hectic... Sunday's especially.

Haven't been back to BDI since our last dissappointing visit. I ordered a hot fudge sundae and paid over $5 for one peak of ice cream and a teaspoons worth of hot chocolate syrup - not fudge. My partner asked for a flurry, and recieved a milkshake instead. He didn't want to be a bother so he figured he'd just drink the shake. Unfortunately it was disgusting and tasted like 10 different sugary syrups all melded together. When we took it back to the window and explained the error the 15 year old kid working told us that's what we ordered and basically told us to get lost.

That experience combined with the line that moves slower than a turtle stuck in a molasses pit has solidified our decision to never return. I have fond memories of this place but it's clearly just a money grab now. I gave them one extra star for being in a good location.

For very good ice cream and service with lower prices than BDI try Sargeant Sundae or Sweet Tops.

Waiting in the long packed line for icecream during summer is worth it. Always had good memories here.

The ice cream place there is SOOOOO GOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!! I recommend to go there!!!!!!!! There are SO many flavors and they all taste SO GOOD!!!!! It tastes SO fresh and AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always have great ice cream with family or friends.Servers are wonderful even when there crazy busy.THANKYOU

Been around for a long time, always busy, and for good reason. Bring cash.

Amazing soft ice cream! Only open during the summer and fall months.

Amazing ice cream with so many options, I can't say I have every gone there and there not being a line. Extravagant styles and no skipping on the size.

Wonderful place, really wish they took credit card.

Would of been nice to know it was cash only before getting to the window. So we decided to leave after a long wait.

Drove across town, waited for fifteen minutes in line in the cold, only to be told that the vegan options and dairy free options listed on their website are unavailable. Put up a sign next time. An unripe frozen banana wasn't worth it.

Tried the Saltz berg, really good! Can't go wrong with the Goog either.

Best ice cream in the city!
So many options to choose from!

Situated at the foot of the Elm Park bridge, is Winnipeg's most Iconic Ice Cream Parlor.

Although the lines can be long and parking can be a pain. No trip to the BDI is complete without a casual stroll across this vintage bridge that has long ago been converted to walking/cycling only.

I don't find anything particularly spectacular about their soft serve, but the options for toppings are endless.
