I met up with a girlfriend today for lunch today. I've been to this whitespot a few times. For the most part, my experiences have been pleasant. Our waiter today was very rude to me and my friend. I've seen him here a few times before, so he's is not new. Simple things like asking for water, he's forgotten. By the third attempt, I asked another wait staff. He brought our water and slammed it on the table then walked away. During our meal, we flagged him down for more fries. The fries never came. A few moments later he put the bill on the table and walks away. Still no fries. Another 10 minutes goes by and he brings the credit card machine and tells us it's time to pay, as if we were just sitting around loitering?? Everything else was fine. Food was good. Restaurant was clean and tidy. I probably will not return to this Whitespot any time soon. read more

I actually went to the White Spot on Dunsmuir but couldn't find it on yelp Anyways I got the Braised beef burger which was quite good! The braised beef was really saucy and it made it quite messy to eat but that was fine. Although the braised beef was juicy, I found that in my last few bites the patty felt quite dry. I was able to ask for more pickles and my boyfriend gave me his pickle as well and I think the acidity balanced out the burger quite well. The fries were good and crispy which i liked and they give you ketchup on the side. I felt that the coleslaw on the side was really lacking and could have really benefited from more dressing. To end on a good note, I got the caramel brownie milkshake as well. It was delicious and I would for sure get it again. I also loved how they gave us the extra (I didn't know they did this!) Ps our server was incredibly nice haha but I feel like he checked up on us too many times oops. Ps ps they had multiple screens playing different sports so it was nice to watch the Canucks game while having a bite! read more

Stopped by for a quick happy hour! Coconut shrimp - super tasty with nice crispy breading. Loved the mango chutney that it came with! Lettuce wraps - chicken was nicely fried with just the right amount of heat. I do think they were a little too small of a piece though because it made it difficult to wrap the lettuce around Chicken quesadilla - really filling and packed full of chicken and cheesy goodness on the inside! read more

The French fries are not the ones as advertised when they come with your online order they are overcooked burnt, extremely soggy in the middle and greasy and have a horrible taste! I experienced this over a year ago at the same white spot, but I was dining in ! The online order app did nothing to address this issue and some of our order was missing? For both entrées. They are a franchise. They are not allowed to change the french fries it's not the policy so why would they give customers an unacceptable and inedible food ? read more

White Spot - Counter top - Canadian (New) Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

We came here for early lunch around 11 am on a weekday and it was not very busy. More people came in closer to 12 pm but it was not full house unlike other locations. This is perfect when you don't want to deal with crowds. It has a decent sized parking lot where you can park on both sides of the restaurant. There are also 2 dining sections which make this place quite big. Our server was fabulous. She actually brought over a new glass of iced tea for my friend when she noticed it was almost empty. She checked on us frequently. Really excellent service! The food was typical white spot standard. The burger was yummy. I'll definitely come to this location in future as the one I usually go to typically has to wait for a table. read more

I came here on August 16, 2023 for the Pirate Pak Day with 2 other people. I got the bacon chedder burger for $20.99 and I added mushrooms to it for another $1.99. The Pirate Pak came with a refillable soft drink, ice cream, gold coins, coleslaw and bottomless fries. $2 goes to charity. We were surprised that the place was not as busy during lunch time compared to the other locations. The burger was super tasty. They were generous on the sauce. Service was great. We showed up at 11 am and we were not rushed or anything and we left at around 12:20 pm. The decor is quite nice and cozy inside. Inside was very clean and spacious. It is a very big restaurant. On top, there are plenty of parking space in the parking lot. read more

we had reservations at white spot in burnaby on kingsway to celebrate a milestone birthday. dinner was at 5:30 pm on a thursday, and when we arrived, there was no one at the front to greet us. the place wasn't packed, so perhaps they were understaffed. we were a party of eight and sat in a somewhat separated section in the back, and it took a while for our server to take our drink orders. the family dining atmosphere at this particular location was not busy and the service seemed slower than usual. when the drinks finally arrived, they were exactly what we needed to start off the evening. our server, though delayed, was friendly and apologetic for the wait. the menu at white spot offers a variety of options, including plant based. as a child, we used to visit white spot frequently, and i always get the monty mushroom burger. this time though, i skipped the fries and coleslaw, 'cause the fries aren't great and i wasn't particularly hungry. the burger featured a beef patty with sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and their triple o sauce, all sandwiched between a soft bun with a slice of dill pickle on top. the combination of flavours was satisfying (and messy), but not as good as i remembered it to be. the food was just okay, nothing special, we reminisced about the good ol' days when white spot was the go-to place for a quick yet delicious meal. the nostalgic charm of their pirate packs for kids with the gold chocolate coin and the legendary burgers for adults and famous milkshakes (the main reason white spot was chosen for this celebration). two people from our party ordered chocolate milkshakes, but when the chocolate milkshakes arrived, it was missing the metal cup on the side. our orders seemed to take an unusually long time to come out as well. we enjoyed our time together, celebrating a birthday, but sad to say, white spot has lost its charm. read more

I went here with my family on May 20th Saturday. We ordered dishes like Bolognese Pasta ($21.99), Salmon Burger ($20.99), Haddock and Fries ($22.99) and Chicken Spot Salad ($18.99). Food was wonderful. Bolognese Pasta and fish and chips were pretty good. Fish and chips were so crispy and tender YUM. Salmon Burger was small, but fries made me full. My family also were impressed by Bolognese Pasta it was amazing. Although fries were bottomless, none of us wanted more after sharing dishes together. Fries could've been better, but I gotta admit bottomless service is fantastic. I never paid much attention to the server's name he was professional and attentive. read more

Great service and very spacious layout. Good choice for early breakfast as it's open at 7am. Menu says kid's pirate breakfast are available until 3pm. Their famous White Spot Pirate Pak until 10am and the Pirate Pak looks cute. We ordered the turkey avocado wrap and waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. Delicious and well presented. I used to enjoy White Spot for its many locations across town and for the various drinks creations on their beverage menu. Now I shall add this Kingsway location to my list of Burnaby's early breakfast option. I love restaurants with fireplace and natural lighting. Lots of seating available for larger parties too or you can sit at the bar to catch up on sports channels. Pair it with a sparkling cocktail and it's happy hour fun! Cheers! read more

Their standard burger is good but quite small in size. Their benches are not comfortable to sit on.

White spot is the best. If you're looking for easy, family friendly or meet up with friends for drinks this is the place. This location has ample parking, a great dine in area and patio. We requested the patio and got a table within minutes. It was the perfect patio table with movable umbrellas for shade. Our party of 5 tried the chicken Cobb salad, breakfast wrap, seafood fettuccine and salmon burger. Wasn't expecting lettuce to be the iceberg type in a Cobb salad but otherwise it was fine. Buttermilk fried chicken juicy and tender. Seafood fettuccine good portion and tasty. Breakfast wrap was huge. Pirate pack as always is a hit for little ones. Service was fast and friendly. See you next time! read more

I've tried the White Spot three times since I arrived in Burnaby. Each time it's progressively worse. I noted on my last, and likely final, visit the serving staff was short. I was in an area with several other tables and one server was hurriedly serving all of us. Waited 20 minutes for a table when many were empty. 10 minutes for my drink order. 15 minutes for my burger. The prices are high for quantity and size. The burger comes with never/ending fries, which is good as the burger is small. The little scoop of coleslaw made me laugh, seriously. That's all? I could never recommend this location. While the people I encountered were nice, it does fix the problems and overpricing for what you get. read more

I decided to go to White Spot Metrotown for a late breakfast today. I ordered eggs Benny and specified the eggs were to be poached hard. When breakfast arrived , the eggs were poached soft and the waiter agreed to take them back and do the order over. When it arrived the second time, the eggs were STILL not hard, with runny yolk in the middle, and the hash brown potatoes were nowhere near warm. All in all, a very disappointing experience. read more

Price: ~$20/ person average price Service: 9/10 friendly and helpful staffs Food: 8/10 good quality from a chain family restaurant. Chicken & Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo: $19.49 The portion is actually pretty much with Lemon-chargrilled fresh BC chicken breast, Parmesan cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms, green onion & spinach. Garlic bread. The chicken is not dry at all, tender but tasteless. The Parmesan cream sauce with sautéed mushrooms is on point. So creamy, rich and cheesy goes well with the pasta and garlic bread. It's good for casual dining with your family and friends. read more

Really great food as always. With white spot you always know what you are going to get because their quality is consistent. My fish and chips was great, however there could have been more tarter sauce given out as I could have used more for sure. Service was really good this time as our server/bartender was really friendly. read more

Food was good, server was lovely. The only thing that was a bit off putting was when we were seated, there were crumbs and bits all over the seats. I had two kids with me, so I get it, messes happen! It would just be nice if the long bench seating were wiped at the same time as the tables. I had a breakfast that was very nice and the kids had pirate packs, which are always a hit. read more

I'm not a particularly fond of chain restaurants, but there are some that know how to cater to a family. White Spot has a large menu that can cater to your pickiest little eaters. Service was excellent and friendly even at 9:00AM in the morning. It's not fine dining, but for what it is, they know how to do it right. read more

A great day starts with great breakfast!

They sat me my guest and the 2 kids at a table crawling with ants. On the window ledge attached to our table was a pair of ant poison traps. The ants kept coming on the table and after our food. It was a disgusting experience which I would think should be embarrassing for the staff and the brand. Normally I would only give this location 3 stars as I always have to ask them to wipe the tables they are never clean despite being cleared. Seriously seating kids at a table with ant poison seems like it should be a severe no no. It was incident free other than the ants. I realize ant poison is not lethal if a kid got it unnoticed but still. read more

Just came back froum white spot in Burnaby on Byrne road and what a dissapointment. They had fes tables empty, but they still let us wait over 5 minutes. We do not go out very often, so it's a real treat for us and I was looking forward having fish and chips. Fish was horribly dry cause it was overcooked, coleslaw was little bitter. We will not go back to that locations. read more

This is one of our family's favorite local restaurants in Burnaby. Great food great service and great ambience. Family style environment and family style cooking. We always get a cozy booth and great service. Today was especially a good visit because we got everything at a summer special. There was a delicious salmon meal and goat cheese and Hothouse tomatoes on flatbread with a sweetened balsamic dressing and an amazing blueberry pie to finish it off. Very nice evening and meal today. read more

One thing that seems to be consistent is lack of quick customer service. Usually i find i have to wait a few minutes at the front to be seated before anyone noticing you. But it's got one of the better WS bar's/lounge seating area on the right, enough TVs to watch a game. Good size parking lot, with another opening from the back alley. read more

my whole family knows whitespot is my all time go to restaurant. Although this location is terrible, I ordered to go and the food was over an hour long, I ended up waiting in the restaurant for over an hour. (might as well have eaten there) I've asked several times to check on it and all the servers and kitchen help EVEN the manager was just talking to each other and laughing. As a result, they forgot my 8$ cake and I had to drive all the way back. BIg waste of gas. Love whitsepot and I've had whitespot three times this week but never going back to this location. read more

I don't come here too often but after the neighbourhood pub was full for super bowl we popped into White Spot even though it's not the most exciting locale. Ended up having a very nice experience. Server Christian was awesome. Very courteous and attentive - five star service! Had the fish and chips as I had a challenging work out earlier and it felt earned lol. Crispy and the cod was quite good. Next time I need some post workout grub I know where I'm going. read more

Our family ordered a meal delivery from you. I had the madras chicken curry. It came without the tomato mint salad on the menu, and it was barely lukewarm. It is possibly the worst curry I have ever had, and definitely the worst White Spot meal. There was barely any flavour to it, a minimum amount of curry sauce, and mostly rice. The chicken was ok and cooked nicely, but the overall dish was a congealed tatsteless lump and nothing like a Madras curry. You let yourselves down, White Spot. read more

White Spot is trapped in the land of who cares/no real effort here! It is obvious on the face of their servers and in the presentation of their food. We received several gift cards, key word several for XMAS gifts this year, don't know if they had a two for 1 special or not, kidding!! But, I guess a lousy meal at White Spot versus not cooking for the night when you get home at 9.30 pm since 10 in the morning doesn't look that bad after all. Went to this location after work last week for take out and figured on keeping it simple 2 legendary platters to go. Food was really blah, no taste, sloppy look to it. Gone are the days when the Legendary Burger with special sauce was something to look forward to. White Spot is sliding down a slippery hill with no way of treading ground or ever climbing back up as far as I am concerned. Did I get food to take home, yes. Was it good, no. Did it have flavour or any effort to at least look good, no. 1 gift card down, several more to go. Yikes! Re-gift. read more

We come here because it's convenient and the food is mostly OK. They have the most unprofessional atmosphere I have ever seen. The staff and manager are always congregated in the back by the kitchen and are chatting and laughing away loudly. They're not paying attention to the customers. We come to this white spot quite often and 70% of the time, there is no host or hostess. We stand and wait. The bathrooms are clean but they are NEVER heated. The tap water is always cold too. On zero degree days, IT IS COLD!! read more

Now why would I review White Spot of all places? They are all pretty much the same and they serve your typical western meals and sometimes minor forays into foreign cuisine. Well, the reason why I am reviewing White Spot and this restaurant location in particular, is because it holds some sentimental value. I can't even count how many times me and my family have visited this particular location for a variety of reasons. Usually to celebrate a birthday or holiday, or if our family hasn't seen each other in a while and no one has any particular restaurant they want to try, this is our go to place! It's fairly inexpensive, has a good ambiance and that old school diner feel to it. It must be all the baby boomers that frequent this place that gives it its character, and I like it! The servers are friendly and efficient and attentive, all qualities which make an eating out experience phenomenal. Going to this particular restaurant has become somewhat of a tradition that is being passed down to newer generations in our family. Ask my niece what her favorite restaurant is, hands down she will say White Spot, and I'm pretty sure she is referring to this particular location! St3Fin read more

White Spot - This is what I paid $12 for- a very tiny frittata - Canadian (New) Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Visited this location for lunch last week. A co-worker and I were on our way to a workshop close to this location so we stopped in for a quick bite to eat. We both had the fish and chips and they were okay. There was a TON of breading compared to the amount of fish on the inside. I would not return for this dish ever again, I guess I should have stuck to a burger? Our server was so awkward that it was painful. He literally stood 4 feet away from our table when we were ordering, I wasn't even sure if he was talking to us he was so far away. When it came time to pay he wanted to know if we wanted anything wrapped up (we were on our way to a workshop and had no access to a refrigerator so obviously we didn't want our food to go) and when we said no he took this as that our food had been awful. He was so weird about it, especially since we explained why we didn't want it wrapped up.... read more

Went here yesterday for Thanksgiving dinner (a bargain at 15 dollars). Service was really nice and the portions are always generous here. One of us was running a little late but our server was really understanding and didn't seem put out at all. What precludes this from being a four-star rating is that there were several occasions where our server would disappear and we were left wondering if she'd clocked off and not told us. I feel mean writing this as she was super lovely but there were like 15 people in the restaurant, tops. The decor has remained the same since I lived in Vancouver 6 years ago so it might benefit from a little facelift. Other than that, really happy with the food, the service, the cleanliness of the place. We were so stoked with our dessert - a lovely sticky pumpkin tart for 3 dollars! You can't grumble over that, right? read more

Not a fan if this location, I find it outdated and dingy. When I was there last, my bun and meat on my hamburger was burnt...I don't know how they would send it out like that, where are their standards? I sent it back and got a non burnt one. The waitress was quite rude...I was shocked how a waitress would have so much attitude ....for being just a waitress. Never have been back since...and never will. read more

Seriously. It's 7 pm on a Sunday night. The place is not busy at all. They advise they ran out of mashed potatoes. If you want them, you have to wait an hour. Seriously? And they don't comp you or discount your order in any way as a result? Seriously? Seriously, the White Spot franchise should simply shut down. It's getting worse and worse, not better with White Spot. This is baffling beyond belief how they can still survive when service et al is simply atrocious. This will be our last visit at this location. Once our given gift card runs out, we will never ever go to White Spot again. Clearly, corporate White Spot does not care about the performance of their stores, much like Subway doesn't care either. read more
