Review from Deborah H.

I've been coming to this place since i can remember and it still tastes the same which is a very good thing. They have a variety of ice cream flavors now but still offer the specials they've always had like the sleeping beauty. I always get a vanilla cone with sprinkles. It may be boring to some but it's delicious. Lines at this place can get ridiculous if you go in the evening. People wait an hour or more some nights but it is worth it. I no longer live in Winnipeg but the BDI is always one of the places I have to go to when I'm in town.

This is probably the second time I've had ice cream at this Winnipeg institution. Not sure if it's the ice cream that makes this place that renowned or the fact that it's located by a bridge or both?
The small twist cone ($1.99) wasn't that memorable but was good. The milkshake is very thick here (BDI claims to serve the thickest milkshake) but needs to be colder. I think this place is successful because it's fun get your dessert and walk across the bridge and enjoy a nice night. Very family friendly and very romantic if you are on a date.
They are known for the "goog" though the flavours didn't appeal to me. Pricing is fairly moderate and comparable to other places. The "upside down thick milkshakes" range from $3.85/$4.20/$4.45 and offer flavours like banana, chocolate, blueberry, coconut, coffee, coke, grape etc. The special sundaes are $3.85/$4.30. Soft serve cones come in vanilla/choc/twist $1.99/$2.40/$2.81. They also serve frozen lemonade and kool aid slushie $1.85/2.30.
My biggest pet peeves about this place is how the menu is set soooo far back so it's really hard to see the choices until you're right up against the counter. And for some reason, the staff/16 year olds working there don't seem to move very fast. Maybe it was just the line we were in but the server moved at a snails pace. I don't think the orders are that complicated but I guess they have a captive audience so they don't care. LOL. Oh well...at least there are no mosquitoes out this year so the wait isn't so bad.
So overall, I don't think the wait justified the end product but try this place at least once so you can have an opinion about it. Otherwise, I've had better ice cream elsewhere.
Note: CASH ONLY.
