The food was amazing, especially the garlic bread. The server was really kind, his name was Nat. Best Whitespot to go to in Port Coquitlam!!! read more

service was excellent! Keshav was a kind angle who helped me tremendously with everything.

White Spot coquitlam has great service by experienced staff in a nice casual sports bar ambiance. I think their happy hour is really good and highly worth it. My favourite is the coconut prawns which are crispy and flavourful! read more

While visiting friends in Canada they suggested we meet for lunch at the White Spot. Very happy atmosphere. From the hosts to the Waitstaff, Big smiles and cheerful welcoming. A local breakfast and lunch/dinner place. Serving American fare with a Canadian twist. A wide variety of choices on the menu. The vanilla milkshake was very good and creamy. I had the Toasted shrimp sandwich on sourdough bread. Came with a light tasting coleslaw and fries. All were good. My son had a the legendary cheeseburger which was cooked perfect not dry, and my wife had the white club (turkey). With a side salad. She was pleased with both. Price was moderate in comparison to the food. Well worth the cost. Great service. If you're in Coquitlam, BC a must for a good lunch of dinner. read more

Standing at the door being ignored while a server has a good time chatting with her friends. She turned around and saw us, but nope that's not part of her job. She muttered to her friends and her friends turned to look at us (at this point looking like a couple of annoyed customers) and they laughed together. Wonderful. If you're on your break you shouldn't be in your uniform, if you're talking trash don't make it obvious. Waited a long time before the server came to greet or take drink orders. Server slammed my plate on the table, and infront of the wrong person. Forgot to bring our order of the second beer. Overall an incredibly poor experience, but two stars because their food was decent and it isn't always so bad. Usually it's mediocre. read more

Although food was tasty, our experience was bad when we stepped in. The female S*ra took us to a table closest to the WASHROOM, of all the tables, a table beside the washroom. When I mentioned that I was not comfortable sitting near the washroom, she brought us all around the restaurant before I had decide where to sit and chose a table. WHY? During this time we want minimal contact with others, why bring us all over the restaurant. I was thinking how these staff are trained? Are they trained at all? What's the manager doing? read more

Why do we ever come back to white spot? It's not this location , it's not the Poco one or the North Van one or the the one in Vancouver on Marine drive. It's ALL of them. It's just a Sh*tty chain with sh*tty food it's that simple. They change their menu all the time pretending add specials but I just think they can't get anything right. And I am beyond embarrassed that people take out of town guest there like it's some special tradition! Whitespot died in the '90s it just refused to go away. Two of us went tonight( not my choice) and basically the burger was raw inside, the fries were absolutely awful and the fish and chips was soooooo greasy from old oil and the wrong temperature it was inedible. The fries and fish were a both not even cooked. Not sure why we took the fish and chips home but I reheated them for 20 minutes at 400 degrees before they were actually cooked if that's any indication of how raw they were. That's about it that's all folks never again. Be warned! read more

-always check the pics- Typical White Spot as expected. As a starter we ordered the calamari and caramelized onion & cheese dip. The calamari was as usual a strong 3.5 stars. On the other hand the cheese dip was a bizarre combination of cold and warm. A warm cheese type dip with stone cold sour cream. Not a really good combination and it did not taste like anything you would expect out of a cheese dip, more like an artichoke scooping type. We all agreed the dip get's a big thumbs down and a messily 1.5 stars. For our main meal we ordered the BC burger, chicken quesadillas and fajita salad. The BC burger, a classic, did not disappoint. 4 stars! The quesadillas were good as well and came with a generic Caesar salad. 3.5 stars. Now I have to warn you about this ginormous salad. It is an acquire taste, you either like it or you slowly will... kindda. A good amount of romaine lettuce serves as a bed for the salsa, sour cream, and steak strip. All of this is served on a huge fried tortilla. A have been eating this dish for a couple of years now and I love it. Just be aware it is allot of romaine. 4 stars. Service was great and our needs were met. 4stars. Ambiance was good although a bit on the cold side. 4stars. Overall we give it 3.5, but since we can't do half stars it get's 3. We took pictures of all the meals for you curious peeps. read more

Uh, White Spot... please stop messing with your menu. Hubby and I come here for the nostalgic deliciousness of BC burgers and we don't expect to eat them with lettuce and tomato on them. They are best eaten plain so you'll have to excuse us when we make our seemingly silly little requests! Secondly, stop making dishes that you have no business making! Leave the risottos and more creative things for restaurants that specialize in the higher end. White Spot is not about getting all fusion and different. You have definitely alienated a section of the public while trying to pander to a new one. Granted I don't get creative when I order here but this is mostly out of principle! I will eat at White Spot so long as I am still able to find the BC burger, fries and accompanying brown gravy on the menu. The service here is always fine. I find some of these other reviews pretty hilarious and I needed to add in my two cents. Either you like this place or you don't, but don't expect White Spot to be something that it is not. If you stick with the classics you will not go wrong. Expecting it to deliver the same calibre service of a Keg is a sure fire way to set yourself up for a disappointment. Overall you can bet on White Spot to serve up a good burger in a comfortable environment with a complete lack of douche factor. My childhood memories of pirate packs, chocolate coins and those delicious dill pickles will always hold a special place in my heart! read more

This restaurant has a bunch of nice and lovely staff and very quiet place. I did a meeting there once, it was beyond my need. Super wow The location is so bright and incredibly home like feeling. Thanks you fro the delicious food, salads and drinks. The price wise is affordable and worth for that service. Good location and parking, car-friendly ;-) Will visit them again and would recommend read more

Nice friendly staff when I was here. They have a patio as well as a good sized indoor area for seating and TVs for watching sports etc. Happy hour was good with some drinks and a few food specials. Tried the mushroom flatbread and a halibut burger and both where food. Worth a try if your around during happy hours. read more

We recently had their big breakfast. Both my son and I after a few bites noticed the sausage tasted a bit funky. I told the older server agreed I could have sliced ham instead. No apology! I told her to tell the cooks that I think the sausages are off but don't know if she did. Therefore later phoned the manager and was put on hold for 5 min before he came on. I explained about my experience and to let the cooks know and all he said was an indignant "thank you", again no apologies! Both my son andI had upset stomachs later. I hate this location. Nat Bailey would be ashamed. read more

Worst service ever Got our appetizers & no cutlery, no big deal G/F asked for hot water & she got stone cold water in small tea pot , no biggy My club house was made wrong & by time it was fixed my G/F had finished eating, our bill for 2 of us was over 60 bucks including extra charges for dips ! I will never go back & general Mgr was useless ( Aaron ) They are hurting as no one goes there cause of covid 19 Might as well shut it down As customer service is not there read more

In our effort to support our local restaurants during this pandemic, we are participating in "Take-out Tuesday". A few Tuesdays ago, we ordered from our local White Spot from one of the take-out services. We ordered the loaded beef dip, bacon cheddar cheeseburger and the red clam chowder. I was a bit disappointed with the beef dip because the bread was incredibly soaked by the time I got it. It fell apart when I picked it up after unrolling it from its wrapping. It was still warm so I don't think it's been sitting around after it's been prepared before it was picked up and delivered. (Plus, I love watching the graphics online to see how long it takes the driver to pick-up and drop off my food!) I could barely taste the cheese, mushrooms and onions that supposedly came with the sandwich. I ordered this before from the same place and it was never this soaked before. I didn't take a photo of it as it was so messy I didn't feel like washing up, clicking and getting back into the mess. Also, the fries that came with my sandwich (and the hamburger) was so minimal. I think I only got at most 12 fries. Normally they're very generous but looks like they just took one order of fries and divided it into 2 boxes for our order. Although the hamburger and soup were not for me, I was told that they were prepared well and tasted good too hence why this rating is 3 stars as opposed to my beef dip fail worthy of 1 star. read more

White spot was out to go dine out favourite.. well, not anymore... since all the changes on the menus quality has gone down and our dinner last night was poor and completely tasteless. 20$ for literally 2 bites of the hunter chicken and another 20$ for the same 2 bites of the pan serared halibut and shrimps? The only decent thing was the mashed potatoes. Definitely a rip off. Sorry but not a "Spotitarian" anymore. read more

You can't expect fine dinning when going to a white spot. Took about three minutes to be greeted at the front door. Was quoted 20 mins and only waited 15 (bonus for us!). Our server was lovely. My food came and the yam fries were soggy. The burger was delicious though! read more

This review is for the drive-in service. I highly recommend the drive-in at this White Spot location. The carhops live up to the history of the chain. They are quick, friendly and very professional. The food is still delivered on the long trays and fits well in almost all cars. The food is superb and does not come in cardboard boxes. Baskets and silverware are the norm here! I highly recommend this option if you're still not comfortable in restaurants after the COVID-19 outbreak. The staff (inside and outside) wear face shields. read more

Worst service I have ever had two times by the kitchen wait staff while either picking up or Uber dropping it off simply atrocious the food is usually good if it's warm or cold or whatever it's supposed to be but my goodness the fact that half my $50 or $92 order is missing is completely unacceptable would give this particular location on lougheed in Coquitlam sunwood square a complete noooo staff then apologized and sent over a card to replace the meal but it is a regular occurrence and it should never happen more than once let alone two or three in a row so for me and mine it's an absolute not gonna ever happen again I will however patronize other locations because I simply really enjoy whitespot and it is a BC Legend read more

Food never prepared properly. Always a disappointment. Waitress is normally decent. I feel bad for them having to take the heat for the kitchen. read more

Slow service for drive in and the food is late and cold. Burgers could use a bit more taste too

White Spot is usually a pretty safe bet when it comes to fast, simple, local food. In the past few years they've been trying to be a bit more experimental with their dishes, but let's be honest - it's boring, no-brainer fare, made by the kids from your local high school and served by the kids from your local college. Not exactly gourmet, but usually good nonetheless. So that's what I was expecting when I went there for dinner tonight. Our servers were awesome - polite and there when you wanted them to be. The food - meh. As usual. I had the blackened chargrilled chicken dinner thingie, and although it was tasty, it was like a pressed Costco chicken breast that had been marinating in a packaged seasoning mix for god knows how long, and some kind of runny mashed potatoes on the side with some gross, overly gelatinous gravy. And some asparagus that were cold. I felt thoroughly underwhelmed, Where's the love, White Spot? Not feeling the love... My mom's Chicken Caesar looked boring as hell, like I could have made it look more appetizing when I was twelve, and my dad had some Sukiyaki Beef Bowl special, which was...okay, but who goes to White Spot when they're in the mood for Asian food? I dunno. But really, what did I expect? I would just like to restate that I can't remember the last time I had bad service at a White Spot, if ever... they must train their wait staff really well. I *will* give them that. read more

Managed to grab some take out minutes before they were closing the kitchen. A legendary and a beef dip! Perfect for a late night! I haven't been in a long time, they have completely re-vamped their menu. Little did I know I was staring at two of my disappointments of the day. 1) I was looking forward to ordering a fajita salad, but lo and behold, they apparently got rid of that years ago 2) I was too early for blueberry pie season :( The location is great and the its one of the nicest White Spot locations I have been to in a long time! (a really long time) 3 TV's in the bar area! (perfect for the guys) Plus, I love for the most part, the newer/renovated White Spot's have given up some of that tacky carpeting! Huzzah! read more

The food was sooo good for breakfast! I've been to tons of locations but this one for some reason I had the absolute best tasting food. There was a few places that we were looking at to go for breakfast in the area, we live in Port Moody. And we stopped at Coquitlam grill but it was totally packed, and I thought about going to the boathouse but apparently the reviews are really bad. And white spot was right beside IHOP as I was driving on the highway to go to IHOP( which also had poor reviews wtf). So we went to White Spot and I'm super glad that we did. If I was to say any bad thing about White spot is that the table area in the non-dining area is a little bit rundown. I'm assuming because of popularity just need new tables or something they were kind of beat up and one of ours is higher than the other. But I wouldn't expect much for my breakfast joint! Seriously so good I can't wait to go back I'm actually thinking about it right now! read more

A staff member at a university in British Columbia told me that he had been to all the White Spots in BC and that he affirmed the one in Kamloops to be the absolute worst. I avoided it, but I had been to the one in Coquitlam a few days before. I had just come in from the airport, famished and looking for an American-style diner but not necessarily a Denny's (down the street on Austin) or an IHOP (somewhere close too). I went in to White Stop because it looked like a place like this, and I was pleasantly surprised. The surroundings are certainly comfortable and pleasant. My booth was spacious and the service utterly professional. I ordered the omelette special --three cheese with Canadian bacon, served with excellent home fries and two pancakes. The pancakes were admittedly thicker than I prefer, but their taste was decent, complemented by the maple syrup. But the omelette was entirely fluffy, well seasoned and not at all rubbery in texture. It tasted quite fresh. For $11 CD, it wasn't a bad deal either. All in all, a very pleasant place. Yes, it's a restaurant chain and while I normally avoid chains and won't usually enter them into Yelp, I figured this was Canada so I could get away with it. read more

I wanted to order a Pirate Pack for breaky. But alas, I went with the Eggs Benny. Argh! It wasn't horrible, I just wish our server had mentioned that there was a sunny deck 15 feet from our table. Thanks for the heads up! read more

The first time eating here I ordered the salmon burger with fries. It was delicious! So, the second time going, I had to have the same thing. I'll have something different next time. :-). The serve both times was great! read more

My wife and I are regular white spot customers and we always love the food and the service that we receive in all branches. This is the only branch that consistently disappoints us in service. We try to avoid this location as much as possible and go to the branch close to Costco on Lougheed. However tonight we had to go here due to the short time we had. When we walked in they said 3 people are ahead of you and you should wait for 10 min to get in. We looked inside and saw 5 high tables available and asked if we could sit there. With attitude they said No others are ahead of you! After 10 minutes they guided us to one of the 5 available tables which were clean and ready since we walked in from the first moment to serve us. Then I went to washroom and saw another 4 booth available on the other side and they had people waiting in the line up to get a table. Unfortunately this has been my experience every single time I walked into this location. The point is that if you are consistently under staffed, get more staff members. So many negative reviews for this location should be a clue read more

4 stars for White Spot?! Easy, when you still offer the good old-fashioned 'drive thru/takeout'! Not to be mistaken for real drive thru, as this is driving up to the back, and a separate window/section where someone actually comes out to serve you, while you eat from the comforts of your car. For me, it's actually more convenient, my virtual office, with stapler, tape, paper clips, the whole nine yards lol. Plus don't have to lug my work laptops around either. So the real cool part is they bring out the wooden plank that rests across your doors, as long as you open the windows, and goes across to the passenger side. There you go, your own desk. Love the mushroom burgers and chocolate milkshakes! read more

Stopped by here for brunch because Cora was too packed. The classic benedict was passable but the shrimp and florentine benedict was flavourful! However, the hash browns were not my favourite but they're endless. The service was wonderful and food came out quick especially how packed it was for a Sunday morning. read more

The spot is always spot on with everything from food to service and I'm always happy when I come here to eat. We cruised bu the Port Coquitlam location and the parking lot was busy so we treked a little bit further to Coquitlam instead. Hit it around lunch and it was a mecca for seniors in the area as the two of us and the wait staff were the only ones under the age of 50. Go with the yam fries as a sunstitute!!!! read more

Now when your friends ask where you want to meet up for food and all you're craving is a milkshake, you know White Spot is the place to go! I honestly love this location the most. Not only because its 5 minutes away from my place(although that is a plus), but because the staff a super friendly and the food doesn't take forever to come out. Pretty much as soon as you walk in the door a host or hostess will probably have already caught your eye. So you get seated right away or told how long the wait is if they're busy. And if you're not looking to dine in, let's say you have a hot date or something. Nothing like ordering either online or in the take out parking lot, then going to a romantic look out. Not saying I've done anything like that before... Anyways, would definitely recommend this White Spot. Good food, good service, what more can you ask for. Maybe a pirate pack, just say its for your child :) read more

White Spot is One of those places that is consist. You get a good meal good portion for an alright price no complaints. The main reason I am reviewing is that this particular White Spot has probably the best service of any White Spot O have been to. For someone that is born and raised in the Vancouver area that is saying a lot. I really liked this location and though it is not in my neck of the woods I would recommend that if your near it, drop in. read more

The classic White Spot I grew up with is gone. Tonight, I stopped at their drive in lot to order two desserts to take home. I waited for 15 minutes for the server to finally come take my order, and paid her in cash so I could take my order and be on my way. After 25 minutes I finally went to the servers door to see what was going on, to find my order had been sitting but not brought out. The manager was nearby and apologized but I wasn't really in the mood. He followed me to my car and I get that he wanted to check the receipt so he could follow up with his staff. He said he wanted to "do something" for me and could I wait 2 seconds. I waited several more minutes then drove off in disgust. When I brought the order home I find FROZEN APPLE PIE and melted ice cream. DONE with White Spot! Not what it used to be. read more

Stopped by for a legendary burger and it was really good! Was disappointed with the coleslaw, which is usually so yummy, it had no sauce on it and tasted like they changed the recipe. Not even edible really. Waited until the end of my meal before the waitress came and refilled my iced tea. Not bad but not great either. read more

Don't order the benny off the lunch menu! Globs of bucket fresh hollandaise and untoasted English muffins. Uninspired half cooked hash browns. read more

White Spot has always been a safe, go-to restaurant. They have really good burgers and fish and chips. Their onion rings are the best I have ever had. They have also added different poutine options to the menu recently. One of them is the new "Baked Potato Poutine" which has become one of my favourite foods. a classic poutine with the addition of bacon and sour cream. The Coquitlam location has great service and they are fast. In short, White Spot is a safe choice for when you want to go out to eat. They make good food, great service, and have stepped up their game when it comes to menu choices. read more

We started to eat at 3:45 and had one poutine and shared it, it took all the way till 4:36 to get the bill, we asked multiple times for it and when she brought the bill she never came back so we left cash and left but the service was terrible. The Boston pizza next to them would have been a lot better and time saving read more

Good food and service at reasonable price and good portion. Decent beer too but can be a bit slow sometimes so don't recommend if you're in a hurry. Not too loud but sometime does have a bit of volume in there. Lots of parking space and is walking distance to buses and skytrain. Good for groups, alone, or kids too. read more

Sooo good! Best burgers and endless fries, don't forget the triple O sauce:) Good service as well

Typical White Spot restaurant. Good food, good service. If you are out of the province, try White Spot. read more
