    Fish & chips
    Melissa M.

    A large, newly renovated White Spot in the center of town. We stopped in here for lunch and were happy that they didn't mind that we were wet from tubing down the canal. Of course, we were wearing clothes over our swimsuits, but we were still wet. No problem, they said. Our waitress was fantastic. She was so busy yet constantly filling drinks, etc... She even had to do bar work since there was no bartender and she dealt with a high maintenance table that was next to us. The food was ok. My sister really enjoyed her friend zucchini. The pieces were really large and she preferred that to the skinny ones we get back home. My dad and sister loved their burgers with the Triple O sauce. My husband liked his fish and chips. My sandwich appeared to be the only one that was disappointing. The chicken ciabatta sandwich was no better than burger king. The chicken was a compressed piece of white meat. I would definitely not recommend it. My nephew loved that his food came in a paper boat kid's meal. The service is great but the food is hit or miss. I think I'll skip the chicken sandwich and try something different.

    This is a great place for breakfast. The staff are great, the food was hot and absolutely amazing. We are from Alberta and the Whitespots are nowhere near being this good. I highly recommend coming in here for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. The drink menus are new and look super refreshing. I am in penticton for 3 days and I will definitely be back.

    It's been over 30 years since I've been to Penticton. I've never been to the White Spot. Pleasantly surprised. Great food - I had the beef dip. Awesome! She had the brie burger. Fun kids menu - they have a choice of 4 mains, 4 sides and 4 desserts; the kids build their own meal. They also get crayons and paper full of activities to keep them busy while you wait for your food. The service was very attentive - much appreciated. We would definitely come back. Thanks!

    As a life-long resident of British Columbia and, for many years, a Greater Vancouver resident, I have a close and enduring relationship with the White Spot restaurant chain. In fact, when I was in high school, I was a car hop at the Whalley location back in the 70s. They've been faithfully working the burger/diner hybrid for decades (established in 1928) and I'm sure they're not going anywhere. Our local White Spot had a kitchen fire a year or so ago and so it was with great anticipation that I looked forward to the new facility that rose from the ashes on the same location. For what it's worth, the building and the interior design is step up from the usual modified coffee shop and rows of booths you see in other places. It definitely has some West Coast appeal with plenty of finished wood and towering windows. Looking out those windows at the Main street strip retail blight is no cause for joy but the light coming is a great addition to the ambiance. The occasion was the monthly meeting of the Okanagan Burger Tour (you can find us on Facebook). Our group goes to different places and eats a burger and exchanges notes. Mostly, it's just an opportunity to eat and chat in real life. Simple, but it works. My burger, the Monty Mushroom burger, met my expectations in the flavour, composition and temperature categories. But let's cut to the chase - you can go to one of their drive thru Triple O's or another location to get a taste fix. But avoid this location for at least, oh, let's say, three more months. Here's why: - they opened over a month ago from the date of this review. They invited our group, we reminded them we were excited to be coming and they still lost the reservation. - the service is so uneven it makes you wonder if anyone knows what they're supposed to be doing. At one point we were smothered with attention, 10 minutes later we couldn't find a server. The servers are learning to apologize in many different ways for mistakes of their own making and some that are beyond their control. I especially enjoyed one server who insisted one of our group was 'wrong' and, in fact, 'this' is what you ordered. Classy. -food presentation is erratic at best. I may be a little picky on this but it you're going to plate your famous coleslaw (?) why bury it under the French fries? - You're a month into full opening and you don't have a liquor license? Words fail this kind of clusterfudge. Big highlight was the pumpkin pie. Topped with whip cream and a side smear of caramel, it almost seemed like fresh made homestyle pie. I'm pretty sure the whip is being cracked as I write this and changes for the better are in store for this location. I won't be back until I hear some good reports from trusted sources.

    BBQ Chicken Salad!

    The servers here were so hospitable and sweet, and the food was awesome! I had the BBQ chicken salad which came with grilled barbecue chicken, bacon, apples, grapes, candied pecans, radishes and two slices of buttered garlic bread on the side. The salad was just the right size for a meal-- not to big, not too small. I loved my meal and so did the rest of the group. I would definitely come back here to try one of their burgers or sandwiches.

    The meal was excellent at White Spot. I have not been to Canada in over 20 years and always came to White Spot to eat. My meal and service were both excellent. Will probably eat at White Spot when traveling for the next 2 weeks.

    This is what the blueberries looked like Aug 10 at the White Spot-Penticton.

Ambience was okay, I wanted something like a diner, but it was neither a diner nor a restaurant. The food felt like out of a can, tasted really bad. Nothing seemed fresh; from Alfredo sauce to humus to tofu, mushroom soup, chicken sandwich. Chicken and tofu felt rubbery, mushrooms soup was straight out of a can. Everything we ate felt like it was processed food. We really liked the mango and guava juice. I paid $106 including tips for 2 adults and 2 children under 8. I would not go back.

We went to Terry's one late Wednesday afternoon for wings for only $4.99/pound. They offered a good selection of breaded (only) wet & dry flavors. We chose Caesar Parmesan, Honey Garlic, Hotty-Yaki and Salt & Pepper. The S&P was light on spices and needed more,, the CP was very saucy and the other two were delicious. The atmosphere was laid back and quiet for that time as the restaurant was not very busy. The service, I.e. Henry, was very attentive. The four servings of wings came out to ~$20, what a deal!!! I strongly recommend this restaurant for afternoon and evening dining. It's a real bargain with delicious options on the menu.

Maybe you're…read morepassing through this by-station of a place because you're on your way through the Rockies to AB or coming back. Whatever the reason, we all stop for urgent body functions - whether it be for intake or outtake (so to speak). Breakfast is the cornerstone of getting you started off on the right path of regularity. I still don't understand why Chicken and Pigs are the breakfast foods and not Cows but who's to argue about good bacon? Surely not me. I'm a bit of a bougie breakfast guy - you know, eggs delicately poached and placed ever so carefully on some form of flat starch, served with a sauce that better not be broken or I might go nuke on you. AND sometimes I'm that guy that wants a good chicken and waffle. And then if I'm having one of those days, I just want a good ol' American brekkie... You know the ones. If you're a GenX and older, it's that breakfast we saw on TV that everyone ate. The artery blocking, waist expanding, but who gives a crap 'cause I'm on cholesterol meds Breakfast of Champions. Well, if you're in that mood, you found the right place. Tootsies - I'm leaving the politically correct name crusades to all those "others" as I just came to quell the need for grease - by all extent is the place to get your brekkie on. It's a no-nonsense diner with decor that befits the era where food was served and no one knew what a nutritional guide was. AND it's located in what else, the areas industrial spot, where people can eat a buzzillion calories and burn it off before lunch. Walk in and you get a polite "sit anywhere you want" and we do. Table and booths are available, equally having the slight stickiness that says you are at an old fashioned diner. Ahhhh... My childhood floods back! Food here is simple. Eggs, meat, starchy stuff and coffee. They come in different sizes and if you had your ozempic shot, order away! Eggs were spot on, bacon was salty perfect, and coffee had that unforgetable taste of a carafe with brown slick of coffees past - ahhhhh... Good old days! It's not destination dining but if you happen to be out and about and don't know where to break your fast? Think Tootsies - no matter what you might think of the name. Cheers.

As mentioned, we stopped specifically to get the restaurant's famous custardy ice cream, which can be ordered in either a cup or cone. While the list of options is limited (9 flavors), we were very happy with our choices of Silk Salted Caramel (husband) and Blonde Mint Chip. Some of the flavors would appeal to kids -- such as Bubble Gum or Cotton Candy. Single scoops were $5.95/double $7.95 (June, 2022). Milk shakes were also available for $8.95. The restaurant also offers burgers, chicken strips, hot dogs, a kids menu, coffee, beer, and cocktails. Ambiance. I believe that all seating is outdoors. The "patio" is a large wooden deck, with only Lakeshore Drive separating you from the lake. The tables are shaded by large umbrellas, and music is piped in from speakers around the deck. Orders are taken at a window, and pick up is at an adjacent window. The environment is beautiful, with the lake view and warm breezes (in June!). The only distraction was the music, in that it was being played a bit too loudly. The restaurant is adjacent to Lackawanna Park, with greenery and pretty plants and has clean rest rooms. Value. Prices were expensive, especially if you're feeding a family. But, that said, the restaurant is in a "prime real estate" area, and is open only seasonally. Lakeshore & Powell st.
