Tastee’s opens for the season on First Street

Residents looking for their first ice cream treat of the season have reason to celebrate, as Tastee’s Ice Cream & Grill opened its doors today for the 2026 season.

Located on First Street, the popular eatery has become a spring tradition for many Brandon families who mark the change in seasons with a visit for soft serve, burgers, fries and other classic diner fare. The restaurant operates seasonally each year, typically welcoming customers from early spring through the fall before closing for the winter months.

Tastee’s has built a reputation as a nostalgic stop for both food and frozen treats. In addition to a wide variety of ice cream options, the menu features hot food favourites such as cheeseburgers, hot dogs, poutine and appetizers.

For many Brandon residents, the opening of Tastee’s is more than just the start of another business season — it’s a sign that warmer weather is on the way. The small diner often draws steady lines of customers eager for their first cone, milkshake or sundae of the year.

With spring slowly arriving in Westman, locals now have another reason to get out and enjoy the season — a stop at one of Brandon’s classic ice cream spots.

Whether it’s a quick lunch, an after-school treat, or a family outing, Tastee’s return means the taste of summer is officially back on First Street.
