“Dairi-Wip Drive-In (Winnipeg) – The Burger That Made Me See God’s Nipples Okay. Strap in. Let me tell you about Dairi-Wip Drive-In, this unassuming walk-up burger joint next to the Marion Hotel. You'd never guess by looking at it, but this place is hiding a secret: divine, pants-tightening burger sorcery. It looks like it hasn’t changed since the '80s—and thank Christ for that. No overpriced avocado. No mason jars. Just greasy brilliance and a walk-up window that smells like sin. I ordered a double chili cheese burger with all the fixings, a poutine, and a butterscotch sundae, because I’m an adult and I make horrible, delicious decisions. First bite of that burger? Immediate nipple erection. Full windshield defroster mode. The chili was so rich and seductive I considered whispering to it. The cheese dripped down the side like it was auditioning for a late-night commercial on adult cable. I bit in, and my soul briefly left my body and hovered above the Dairi-Wip parking lot, humming “Hallelujah.” By the third bite? I had a food boner. I’m not talking metaphorical excitement—I mean I was one more mouthful away from calling a doctor because things were happening. That burger was less of a meal and more of a full-body sensual awakening. It was like a warm mouth hug from a well-travelled cougar with soft hands and no regrets. The poutine? Illegal in seven provinces. The gravy slapped me in the face and told me to get my life together. The fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside—like the emotional support I never got from my father. I made eye contact with another customer while eating it and we shared a moment so intense I think we’re common-law married now. The butterscotch sundae? Buddy. It tasted like childhood joy and light foreplay. I closed my eyes, took a bite, and I’m pretty sure a choir of angels started harmonizing behind me. Butterscotch dripped down my spoon like golden foreplay and I caught myself whispering “I love you” to the cup. By the end, I was shaking. I had ketchup on my shirt, gravy in my beard, and a look in my eye like I’d just seen the face of God and he was holding a spatula. Final thoughts: Dairi-Wip isn’t a burger joint. It’s a life event. It’s a religious awakening covered in chili. It’s that one night stand you never tell anyone about but think about every time you eat something disappointing. If you don’t go there when you're in Winnipeg, you are actively choosing sadness. Offical ratings 15/10. Would risk early onset cardiac arrest again. Food-Induced Boner Strength: 6/5 – Had to repark the truck with one hand while holding my shame with the other. Spiritual Enlightenment: 4.9/5 – Docked .1 because I briefly considered proposing to a cheeseburger. Again.“

“Highly recommended ! Friendly staff and great food ! 👍“

“Best burgers in the city!😭“

“Harvey’s consistently delivers delicious burgers made to order just the way I like. The ingredients are fresh, and the customization options are unbeatable. The staff is always friendly, and the service is quick. Definitely my go-to spot for a tasty, satisfying meal every time!“

“The best burgers in Winnipeg. I give Dairy Delight 2/10 and Mrs. Mike’s 10/10. There is no comparison.“

“Great staff, the foods really good and well priced, the Greek salad is just like Greeks make at home for themselves and I can't stop going back for more. The fatboy special is great too but the best thing about this place is Cindy herself and the staff.“

“Love this place, the dude that runs and cooks is the shit (in a good way) The food is soooo good. Definitely recommended!

When we were waiting for our order once a few months ago a guy came in saying he was hungry but didn't have money, that he was homeless etc. Dude that cooks/does the register was like that's fine bro, I'll get you some food and he did, pretty rare to see businesses do that. Everytime someone asks where to go eat or where's a good spot for a poutine i recommend this spot.“

“So incredibly good! we'll definitely be back!“

“I love Vijay’s and always have like the burgers like the chilli like the fries. You have to enjoy it for the historical Winnipeg place It is. Eating outside in the summertime at the picnic benches or in your car. Is all part of the VJ’s experience. The pros can do it wearing a suit and tie.“

“We are new to a gluten free diet (not by choice) and Natalie our server last night was very helpful with selecting gluten free choices. The food was amazing and everyone took extra steps to ensure the gluten free food didn’t come into contact with our other meals. Thanks for making our first gluten free dining experience so enjoyable!!“

“Best burger in Winnipeg! Make sure you try it with a side of onion rings, or even a poutine. Portions are huge. Staff is always nice and very accommodating. This is my go-to place from lunch to dinner or whenever craving that comfort food.“

“Amazing service friendly and fast. The food was amazing the prices very reasonable. My bf has a scratch throat as he just got over something, they went out of their and way made hot water with honey to help his treat without asking for it. This a place that really cares about the customers“

“My first time in was on my birthday today. Was more than pleasantly surprised. Had the Beets by Nu chicken burger and it was incredible. My brother had the Stamos burger and it was like he inhaled it. Loved the flavours. Love that it supports the local community and uses locally sourced products. Friendly staff, great service. Will definitely be back“

“Nuburger Kenaston: I was greeted by two very warm and friendly gentlemen. One of them gave me a low-down on the menu as I had never been there before. My burger (monster something rather) was huge and soooo delicious! The fries contained the perfect amount of salt and crispness…you know when the ends have just a little extra oil and it adds to the taste😋However, nothing surpassed my expectations more than the service. One of the gentlemen offered to help carry my order to the car and held doors open. 120/10!! 😉“

“Good service, food, and atmosphere. All good people.“

“Never disappoints. This is THE BURGER (fat boy) when you want *that* burger. Portion sizes are generous, gravy is thick and delicious, and fries are great.

Service is wonderful. My husband and I went with our 18 month old and were asked how our meal was and a manager came by with a little treat for our little one.

Kid-friendliness: High chair and booster seats available“

“Fast efficient service when ordering.“

“The Classic burgers are always awesome at the Regent Ave. Winnipeg location. I’ve been going there for many months. This is now my go to place as all other competitor’s burgers pale in comparison. I normally would not make that statement but your burgers are more than worthy. I’m a very fussy burger dude. Please maintain the quality. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Good food and prices are responsible“

“We had a great late night meal here. The nachos were really good, and the beef tacos were absolutely killer as well. They offered a full menu, but both our selections happened to be on the Happy Hour menu as well, so our server saved us a few bucks by telling us about that. She was also really friendly and attentive.

They've got a bunch of TVs all over too, so you can watch the game from pretty much anywhere you sit. Overall just a pleasant visit.“

“it was goot. Our family was content when leaving.“

“A&W is a great place for tasty fast food. Their root beer is fresh and delicious, and the burgers are juicy. The onion rings are crispy and yummy. The staff is friendly, and the prices are good. It’s a great spot for a quick and tasty meal!“

“I’ve died and gone to burger heaven! Best burgers in town for the best value. You can’t go wrong with the chips and chilli or the Greek salad, too. Plus the family that runs this place is the absolute nicest. One of our favourite Winnipeg eats, hands-down.“

“I ate there for the second time recently, and everything about it is magnificent - from the menu to the cookery to the decoration. The cloth napkins are a particularly pleasant detail. Highly recommended. I am looking forward to trying other delectable offerings on their menu next time 🙂“

“This is a wonderful restaurant, with excellent service, delicious food, at a reasonable price. They're a not-for-profit whose proceeds go to local group homes helping people with intellectual disabilities. They also have volunteers from the group home, which helps with their social skills. All in all, an amazing restaurant that's a win-win. Will definitely come back.“

“Went here for the first time today. Owner was very friendly, helpful and did really well with a complicated order/bill split from memory. Loved the big double cheeseburger and home-cut fries! Few would be left wanting after that combination. My kind of place! Will definitely go back.“

“Great local vibe with good food & service“

“Food is great and reasonably priced. Shout out to Anna of Salisbury House Pembina for providing a very good service. She even insisted on taking our pictures and suggested a spot where we can pose for our family picture.“

“This place is legendary. The burgers, the fries with chili or gravy. I always remember my mom buying the banana split. The food is home made and family made. Every time I come home to the peg I stop by white spot and pick up a burger and fries with chili. This place should get some kind of award for longevity. Come on Winnipeg! Let's pay some respect!!

Parking: There is a drive thru as well. Best Burgers and fries with chili!“

“food here at D&M Restaurant is a blast.. I enjoyed even down to the bone of the curry goat. don't even want to mention the fry chicken and the sweet potato pudding... keep up the good work guys.. I recommend each and everyone in the Winnipeg area to come and try out their menu....“

“Ordered 6 dishes between the two of us. Octopus and carpaccio were the highlights. Lovely interior decor as well!“

“Five Guys is the place for fresh made to order burgers and fries! Toppings galore. Milkshakes are the best!

The restaurant is clean. Washrooms are extremely clean, especially with the high volume of customers.

Staff always greets you with a smile! Efficient at point of sale!

Shout out to MARK! I really appreciate his friendly, outgoing demeanor! Always smiling. Makes you feel valued and welcomed! He is a real asset to Five Guys!

I have eaten at Five Guys establishments in Washington, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania and North Dakota, by far the Winnipeg Leila location shines above the rest!

My go to burger place!“

“Awesome food portions and friendly service. I highly recommend this place and will be back“

“I tried giving this location a fair chance but after our most recent visit I will never step foot inside the Henderson Leo's. A few months ago we waited over an hour for our food. We never complained. The manager did apologize to us and did give us free drink vouchers and free deep fried pickles for our next visit. Plus I do believe he discounted our bill. I was still displeased as I wasn't looking for any freebies, just good service. Fast forward a couple of weeks ago, and our table joked about us getting free drink vouchers again. I said no don't say that. Well....almost an hour later the server came to our table and apologized for the delay in our food. She said the reason was that they suddenly got a lot of skip order and it delayed our order coming out. That did not sit well with me but I said nothing. We continued to wait and eventually got our food. My fries were cold and my burger was luke warm. My son received his food 5 mins later. My girlfriend's order was completely wrong and dissapointed because she was looking forward to the dill pickle chicken burger. She even pointed to the picture when she ordered it. She didn't say anything because she knew I was already angry and didn't want me to make a scene. I left all my fries on the plate. No questions from the server if there was anything wrong. I was so dissapointed as I really enjoy the food at Leo's. I'm leaving this review in hopes that changes are made at this location so others can enjoy their visits

UPDATE- Since my review, Tim kept communicating with me via emails. He made a genuine effort to make things right. I felt he was sincere and accepted his apology for how our evening went. I do believe in the future we will be back and its all because Tim took the time to listen and make things right. In case anyone was wondering this was originally a 1 star review.“

“Great food and great service. Our waitress was excellent“

“Great fast service - i’ll be back“

“We met a friend there for drinks and food. The staff was friendly and was on top of everything. The place is clean and atmosphere fun. They had karaoke night and it was fun to listen to everyone get up and sing.
They have 2 vlts and we actually broke even on them.
The food was really good. Only issue is parking but otherwise we definitely recommend checking them out.“

“My son and I went to this location for their Kids Halloween FREE meal. My husband and I also got our dinner. It was CRAZY busy with line ups. The staff were absolutely Amazing! They handled the line up so well, on top of the Drive-thru orders. My Teen Burger was the BEST I have had in so long. Onion Rings were hot and my son loved his chicken meal. It could have been complete chaos but the front staff were smiling and on top of orders. This is the norm for this location and why we keep going back.“

“Is this the best bar in Canada? It's close. This is the bar your friends have told you about, it's the bar that most touring bands default to when paying the burt, it's the place you go when you want some good food and a fantastic drink or too. Don't sleep on this little place, or I will call you a fool.“

“They have the best burgers 🍔“

“If you like frosted mugs of root-beer and quick service, come here and get the sit in option. Highly recommend as a Winnipeg treat.

Parking: Great parking with access on both sides.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to kids“
