What our guests say about us

Real reviews from Winnipeg diners
We've been coming to D Jay's for close to 50 years now — hands-down the best pizza around. The sauce is what keeps us coming back, even when we try to order something different.
Tripadvisor reviewLong-time regular
The lasagna here is fabulous, and the service was great even during a busy late lunch.
Tripadvisor reviewLunch regular
Even in the middle of a snowstorm, our waitress was prompt and friendly. The steak sandwich was cooked just right, the dry ribs fell off the bone, and the French onion soup was excellent.
Tripadvisor reviewWinter visit
D Jay's has become our go-to spot — the food is always fantastic, and we love relaxing in the lounge or out on the patio.
