My family and I were very exited to try Dreamland diner. We finally had the opportunity and they did not disappoint! The diner looks amazing! My kids wouldn't stop taking photos. The new owners did an amazing job renovating the space!As soon as you walk in, you are instantly sent back in time to the 50's. I loved the old classics playing in the background. My kids were even dancing at one point.The food was amazing! Prices are very reasonable. I was really happy to learn that they had a wide range of food and also had a kids menu. From the moment we ordered, to when we got our food, the staff was amazing, Very friendly and happy!We all had milkshakes, and they were the best we've had from any restaurant! And the deep fried mars bar is a definite must! Dreamland diner is for the whole family! We will definitely visit Dreamland Diner regularly!

It was pretty cool walking in and 50s music was playing. The props were cool. The food was great but I thought they would have more dinner options. It was a very uplifting experience. I was expecting the staff to maybe roll play or something cus they didn't seem like they were in it to win it". You have to buy everything separate so it for pricey for just my daughter and I.You also don't get served you wait untill your orders up and then being your food to the table.Throw some rollerblades and a energetic staff

What a great place! As soon as I walked in the fiest door, I was sold! So bright and clean! What a pleasant blast to the past, with a little touch of present. The staff are so friendly and extremely helpful! We loved every bite and every last drop!

Good location. Sufficient parking spots available by the restaurant and on the street. I guess they recently opened coz I went to this place before with different business name. Customer service is good. Stuff was good. Washrooms are In the basement if you are curious. 50 or 60s theme. Price is reasonable but only problem is that you have to have exact cash or use debit or credit card.

50's style Diner, looks amazing and music from the period enhances the experience :)Staff very friendly and accommodating.Menu options thought through and reasonably priced.Had a cheddar smokey and a double cheeseburger, yam fries, dino nuggets and fries for our little son.Vanilla and Nutella milkshakes, red velvet cake with a side bowl of ice cream.Tasty beef patties with cheese, ketchup, mustard, pickles and relish in a perfect sized bun, everything you need from a cheeseburger.Smokey in a bun is served without any condiments which you can grab to your liking from a separate station. There's few to choose from, sauerkraut and crispy onions amongst them.Red velvet cake fresh and juicy, ice cream thick and creamy, good size for a side.And the milkshakes, man, the MILKSHAKES !!!Look, if you are from generation that watched Pulp Fiction and you always wandered how that $5 milkshake, that Mia and Vincent shared, tastes, don't wonder, go, order and be amazed !If you don't know what I'm talking about, just go there and check how a proper, real, milkshake should be.5 out of 5 stars, Winnipeg has another unique restaurant to visit.

I recently went during lunch time. The front counter staff were friendly. Music playing from the 50s in the background, 50s style pink, white and red decor. You give your name when you order at the front counter. Younger patrons were called to counter to get their order, older patrons had their food brought to them. They have WiFi, just ask for the code. There's a separate counter with straws and condiments - ketchup, mustard, relish, sauerkraut, banana peppers, and crispy onions. Ask at the front counter for small container for ketchup. I had a cheese burger $7.99, which was a single patty with cheese, mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, pickles, on a toasted bun. Surprisingly, at that price point, they don't put lettuce, tomato or onion on it. Burger was okay, I liked the burger bun, but the patty was thin and a bit dry. I also had dream fries, which are a combination of straight, curly, yam, and tater tots for $7.25. None of them are homemade, but they're good. Straight fries are exactly like Costco fries. They have the standard fountain drink flavors. I had hoped they'd have something like cream soda but they don't. Size small is $2.29. Large is $2.99 and it's a bit smaller than a McDs medium fountain drink. Also, no refills. Coffee, hot chocolate and lattes are available. There is some parking spots in the back and on the side streets off Portage Ave. I'd go back, but probably to try ice cream or a milkshake.

Points for a cool vibe, but the food was underwhelming.After having heard the owners were from St James Burgers (which is super bomb) we found this fried frozen food to be a big bummer. Corn dogs were the same brand as at the supermarket and dream fries were nothing close to St James quality. Friends had a burger and it was basically meat, cheese and a bunch of sauces. To sum up the food : it’s like eating at a high school football game.The dessert looks good but we were so disappointed we decided to pass. Will review if we come back for dessert.

A fun place to go in the St. James area! Our party was greeted with smiling staff, who were very helpful navigating the menu. The atmosphere was exciting, transporting the guest right back to the 50's. In terms of food, the Dream Dogs were creative. Notably, the pickle dog. Not only did the hot dog have pickles, but it also had deep fried pickles and honey dill smothered on top. I was pleasantly surprised. The prices of the items were a little on the high side but considering inflation, it made sense. Will definitely be returning.

1/5, we will not return!We checked this resto because there was so much hype. Upon entry there's a waft of butane-like odor, we were a bit concered but the staff don't seem to care (or they are used to it). As others have stated food is underwhelming. We ordered corndogs, mozza sticks with marinara, dino nuggets and fries, drinks. The corndogs are soooo small (like 3 inches small) and a bit undercooked, save your money and buy from chung-chun instead. The mozza sticks were obviously the frozen kind, were only 6 pcs for 9 dollars, they are also super small, the marinara sauce is a heinz pre packaged and it was cold. The dino nuggets (9 dollars) and fries are just at par with a mcdonald's happy meal (at least with mcdonald's you get a drink, toy and yogurt together with the nuggets and fries, it is also cheaper). All these items you can buy at costco's and just cook at home, you'll get the same quality.On a positive note, the displays are cool and so is the music (they we're playing elvis and I even heard the la bamba song at one point). Come here to check out the ambiance but don't expect good food.Based on our experience, we're sorry but we won't return.
