White Spot Gilmore in Burnaby

I havent been here since pre-2020. The waitress is amazing. The food is incredible. Food

Very expensive these days and seemingly small portions. The service was great.

We mainly do take out here. Outstanding as always

My favorite whitespot for breakfast

Great variety of food, competitively priced beer, and delicious desserts.

Sorry forgot to take a picture but I had the Legendary burger with fries. This was always good

Ordered eggs Benny with side of fruit and a strawberry milkshake! Milkshake was good but the eggs Benny just terrible. It cost me over 50$ for a disappointment and waste of money. Never again

Always great food and service.

Just wanna share an awesome experience at this location tonight.. We had family dinner there and my wife ordered spaghetti with cream sauce and steelhead. Food was great just she overlooked the sauce so end up she didn t eat much of spaghetti. When we asked for the bill from our server Afsha, didn t see this item on the bill so we thought she missed it. We asked to add this back on, she said that she took it off because she felt bad that we didn t eat much off this dish so it was waived off.. It s the thought of feeling bad about customer didn t like the food (especially it s us who overlooked!) that surprises us. 5 star dining experience and service at this location from Afsha, thank you for making it such enjoyable dinner

Ordered food for my kid in the hospital because the cafeteria was closed. Ordered the beef dip and the cook added onions and cheese we didn t ask for making the sandwich inedible for them.

Ordered on Uber, didnt get what I ordered, no napkins, no ketchup, nothing written on the bag it came in so the driver would know it was mine... Everytime I go to or order from the Gilmore location something goes wrong, I should know better and always deal with the Kensington location, theyre waaaay better

Chicken burger is great and fish m chips

Waited a very long time for our meal to arrive. Restaurant was empty when we ordered our food. People who sat and ordered after us got served before us. My order was not correct. Had to wait even longer to get my corrected order.

I came here with the promise of a reward for the childrens hard work. Our waiter, Daniel, is very friendly, his service is great, and he has a great smile! ! If you have a waiter like this at a restaurant, your children will be able to enjoy their meals with peace of mind. I thought the hamburger was a little big for a child, but it was delicious and he ate it all, so it must have been really good. He said, I want to come again!, so I would like to bring him again as a reward. I was a little disappointed that it took so long for the food to be served, so I hope this will improve.

Great location, server was nice, but the restaurant is extremely cold, everyone was sitting with their coats. I do not think the heaters were working at all.

The service was really bad which is surprising because I am a long time customer. The servers were all so slow and I waited over 40 minute for my order that I could tell was sitting because the fries were stale and the slaw was warm. I ordered a cup of coffee which never got offered to refill until the time came that I had to pay the bill. I will probably not return to this location.

Great staff, tasty food!

The waiter was very nice and a very clean environment and the food was super good Kid-friendliness: They had papers to draw on my daughter was very pleased

Simple food when time is short and you need to eat

child screaming was not hushed by parents or staff... hard to hear across our table...

Great place to meet up with old girl friends

A Vancouver standard and tradition

Slowest white spot I ve ever been to. 45 mins for food really?!

I had the steelhead Farrow seed salad and it made me sick. Fish undercooked so I cannot recommend anyone go here, if you appreciate good food.

My Farro salad was drown in buckets of dressing, and served with no Farro! Our grandsons fries looked and tasted like they had been refried half a dozen times, ditto the chick strip.. To be fair the grapes with the pirate packs were fresh and the pasta boglanese were good. Also, bathrooms and booth were Clean.

Great lighthearted not-so-greasy-spoon diner. Had a fantastic Saturday morning spread, served in under 15 minutes. Sandra was a fantastically friendly waitress! As a person with allergies I was accommodated perfectly! Thank you! Dietary restrictions: Accommodates allergies perfectly well

A disappointing experience with food and service yesterday at Gilmore White Spot. Restaurant was not very busy when we arrived at 11:30 for lunch, so got seated quickly. Our table of 5 ordered 2 appetizers, 4 entrees with 2 being the BC Blueberry pie bundle (Caesar salad with burger and a blueberry pie). We repeated the combo twice when ordering. Appetizers came first - prawns were over fries, so dark brown in color while the yam fries were over seasoned, so very spicy and salty, to the extent that we only ate a couple and left majority untouched. Shortly after 2 of the 4 main entree came, followed with 2 blueberry pies. We waited and waited for the combo burger / Caesar salad to come; in the meantime no servers came to check if we got all the food or not. We finally flagged a server to check our order, then to realize that only the blueberry pies were ordered, but not the full combo. All in all, food quality had gone downhill, service can be improved upon. I wouldnt go back to this White Spot.

Oh boy where do I begin? In the late 60s I worked at the white spot on burrard as a car hop and later in the kitchen in downtown Vancouver. The man who started white spot was Mr Nat Bailey, he said people have an hour for lunch so that hamburger orders etc have to be ready to be delivered to the customer in 5 minutes, 5 minutes. Now you are lucky to be asked to be seated in 5 minutes at the white spot!! The last time we went to the white spot was in New westminster about 6 months ago. We had about 2 hrs before an appt ,it took us 30 minutes to get a seat, there was a bit of a line up. When we were finally seated I noticed the restaurant was 1/2 full? Why the long wait ? Maybe not enough servers? As we were waiting for about 15 minutes for someone to take our order, I noticed it was very cold where we were sitting then I looked up to the ceiling and saw this giant air conditioner, we couldnt sit there so we moved to the table beside and it was better. We ordered2 classic eggs benny with shredded potatoes not not smashed deep fried potatoes. Specially ordered shredded potatoes. Now the big wait after 25 minutes I tried to flag a server but to no avail so I went to the kitchen entrance and was told our order is coming! 15 minutes later I again approached the kitchen with the same answer! Finally after about another 10 minutes our eggs benny camel! However our orders came with smashed deep fried potatoes not shredded potatoes as we ordered? Before we could tell our server the mistake on our order he took off! Now I had to try and flag a server to no avail, so I approached the kitchen for the 3rd time and was told that a server will be sent to our table? After about 5 minutes sever arrived and said he will bring us some shredded potatoes. Well my eggs were almost cold by now and just as we were about to get up and leave about 15 minutes later when our server arrived with a small plate of shredded potatoes, so we asked gor a container and took the shredded potatoes home. What a terrible terrible experience. Why would anyone ever go back to this restaurant! Nat Bailey would turn over in his grave!! So 6 months later I wanted to try the fish and chips at the lougheed and Gilmore white spot. The restaurant was about 20 % full at about 6.30 pm approx. We were seated almost immediately upon entering the white spot. We had a nice bench table in the middle of the restaurant. Our server arrived about 5 minutes later with menus. I ordered fish and chips cause I like the crunchy batter on the beer battered fish that the white spot has but I dont really like their French fries. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with no tomatoes, cause my wife is very allergic to tomatoes and she specifically told the young lady that! However after about 20 minutes we received our order. My fish and chips was 2 pieces of fish with a pike of French fries no other garnish and I kept looking at the order thinking something is missing? My wife noticed a large tomato slice in her burger and about 5 minutes or more we were able to tell the server that the burger was to have no tomato? Oh the server said theres tomato in there I thought you were concerned about cheese??? Really? So our server took the burger away to make another one. After about 15 minutes our server dame by to tell us the burger will be about another 4 minutes? Not 5 or 6 or 7 minutes but 4 minutes? Finally after about 10 minutes the burger arrived with no tomato whoopee!!! What a horrible experience another fine serving from our local white spot. Oh and that order of fish and chips for me that was missing something ??? They forgot to give me a little bit of coleslaw!!! Oh boy please if your reading this go to fat burger or x- site on hastings east of willigdon they have a deluxe burger with mushrooms ,bacon and cheese with a Ceasars salad no fries for $10.00 Also go to North Vancouver the Tomohawk restaurant thats been serving great burgers and salibury steaks for 98 years. What happened white spot what happened shame on you!! We wont be heading to the white spot ever again thank you!!! Parking: 40

Very friendly service

Solid food, Nats Breakfast always a favorite!

The food is good, the services are nice, the place feels warm and comfortable! Kid-friendliness: My kids like the food boats Food : 4/5 |

A favourite for life (nearly 50 years now)

Great service. Food was as described and tasty. Clean and safe place. Wheelchair accessible. Transit very closely reached. Expensive for me. Recommended otherwise.

Good meal and service. Very rewarding. Food

It was pirate pak day and they were swamped but service was efficient and full of smiles. Nostalgic and legendary as tasty as ever.

In the past, the experience on pirate Pak Day was a nightmare. Even after ordering for 6 pm pickup, I sat outside for almost an hour still waiting. This time around, what a shock to me! I ordered online at 530 for 630 pick up. I arrived at 625 and sat in my car; the lot was full and there were a good number of people waiting at the takeout area. At 630 I walked up expecting, a its not ready comment. To my surprise, I was handed the hot bag, cold bag and one drink. It was amazing! I will be doing this pirate pak day again!

We ate in our car and our waiter was extremely rude to us. Wont be going back to this white spot again

Good breakfast

not what they used to be... they charge extra for everything. food took so long the waitress gave us fries to start. there was 6 of us for 1 plate of fries though... we wont be back to this location. about an hour wait for our food. the place was not busy.

Love this place great staff

I ordered a beef dip sandwich. The au jus was barely warm and it was somewhat bland.

This white spot seems to serve slightly diff food than the rest. The fries were soggy and gravy were different. My club sandwiches breads too dry and crusty. Food : 2/5 |

I wanted to thank the great Servers and Management for continuing to provide great service. I forgot my Apple Watch and I called them, they found it and put it aside and keep it for 4 weeks until I was able to get there. Going the extra mile is appreciated and commended and the food is good but the Staff there are why I continue to go year after year, Thank You!

We stopped in here for breakfast on the Victoria Day Holiday. Our server was very good and the food was great!

The food and the service are great there. I will go back.

Everything was great except foe the shrimp sandwich The shrimp tasted like it was freshly defrosted from frozen and the lettuce was dirty. Our server was great though :) and our family enjoyed the fish and chips as always!

DONT GO FOR THE MAC & CHEESE ITS OVERPRICED be tasting like kraft dinner

By far, the best White Spot in Greater Vancouver!

Very bad service. The management is 0 star. They act like robots!

Very good....service great....food great....would come again.....

Sandra is a great server

I Enjoy coming to this white spot to eat in or take out. I always get to catch up with my favourites who work here. The service is spot on, as well as the food & of course happyhour specials. I recommend the NatsSpiked soda with wildberry slush!

Went here for breakfast food super good.

Most expensive burger and shake Ive had in awhile.

Super good service but for myself little bit expensive for a breakfast if you compare with Cora

Kid-friendliness: Great place for kids. Our grandson had his first pirate pack!! Food

Typical white spot. Had some fairly decent service though. Despite a number of issues with our order.

Its a hit and miss at this location. There isnt a dedicated front of the house or host at the front. There are many times we would be waiting for anyone to help us. Other servers would serve their tables, but they wont acknowledge you, and they continue with their patrons. For me, it isnt a team atmosphere where everyone pitches in...its more of an I atmosphere. The food is decent enough. Nothing to write home about. Same menu from 5 years ago. Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian options. Not many. Some. For example, there is a chicken quesadilla. I wish there was just a cheese quesadilla option. Parking: Dedicated parking spot Kid-friendliness: Pirate pak

45 mins to get dinner. It was a large group but on a very slow night. Prob tripled servers tips for the night. . No apology. Nothing comped. No free appy. Poor customer service.

Good experience, great service .

Its an older White Spot. What makes it unique is the roadhouse option, fun old school experience.

Always great food and service, place is always packed but the staff are great they have enough staff on to accommodate the large amount of people who come in, daily, keep up the great work Parking: they have lots of parking and also spots where you can order outside and eat in your vehicle. also have handicapped spots close to the front door entrance. Parking you have to get off Gilmore not the first entrance as this is only an exit but the next entrance way is for entering the facility.

Good food and great service. The staff are always so nice.

Always reliable for a great comfort food meal!

We love coming to Whitespot. The food was amazing. The waitress Maria gave excellent service today. Thanks for a great night!

Fish and Chips WAS the best now it quietly changed from Cod to Haddock - ugh. Terrible, havent been back since. It was a regular place I use to go to.

Was Very Disappointed with my Club house Sandwich i ask for white bread and found that they had change the bread to a smaller white bread that was so hard when toasted that it cut the roof of my mouth how do you expect older People to eat this with Dentures this was not only smaller sandwich but more money now Bring Back the Original White this bread is awful bread smaller looks like a small sourdough to me your restaurant is doing this for to save money and is wrong Customers deserve Better dont be so cheap with us and bring back are original Bread

I love the service and food is taste. The atmosphere is clean. Vegetarian options: Many Im not vegetarian Wheelchair accessibility: Yes if you need. They have

I went to White Spot Gilmore today, and it was not okay. The waitress was nice, but my order got a bit mixed up I wanted a burger with a Caesar salad, but got fries and coleslaw. I decided to proceed without waiting for a correction. The burger itself was disappointing, unlike my usual experiences. We also got two kids meals, but the server forgot the ice cream, and we asked for an extra spoon that never came. It felt like the service missed a beat. Overall, it wasnt the best experience at my usual White Spot order got a bit mixed up, and some requests were missed.

This is a timeless white spot. The staff are always friendly and give the best service experience. Its a Burnaby institution.

This place is usually fantastic... but had a terrible Christmas Eve here, as when I called about 3 days in advance, the staff informed of being open until 6pm on Christmas Evening. I arrived with my girlfriend in my truck to do the drive in and dine, prepared with with my tablet and a download movie we both wanted to watch - only to have an closing employee come out and inform they closed at 4pm that day, and have done so for the last 2 years! Quite upset at this issue, as I was forced to go home and order out - as since we didnt want to sit in a restaurant full of people, we had to wait quite a long time as it was prime-time for ordering, so we paid a very high premium for our Christmas dinner.

As always a White spot is a good experience for a burger lover.

I have multiple food allergies. Both the server and the kitchen were careful and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

The staff are very friendly and always do a great job. The Managers are very on the ball and always jump in when needed and the food is always good. They have a lot of items on the menu you don t see at regular WS s. One of my favourite things besides the staff is how clean everything is.

I ordered take out from car service at the Gilmore location today. A Monty mushroom burger fries and a chocolate milkshake. I waited over 30 mins to get my order. The burger was luke warm and tasted like it had been sitting out too long and the bun was soggy. The mushrooms were kind of dry and overcooked, as was the meat which was dry. The milkshake was runny not thick at all. The fries were ok. For over 30.00 (not including the 15% tip) I was expecting a much better meal from White Spot. I was incredibly disappointed and felt ripped off. Hedy Rankin

The Fish and Fries dish seemed to have undergone multiple reheats, leaving me uncertain about its freshness. The coleslaw salad portion was meager, merely half a small cup. The sauce, stored in a small container, appeared warm and bubbly, raising concerns about safety. Additionally, the pricing was perplexing, with variations between their Uber account and the menu on their website.

Ordered take-out and they said 15 minutes. I showed up to pick it up at 15 minutes and it wasnt quite ready, which was reasonable. I sat in my car outside in the nearest parking spot marked Takeout Service Only for another 10 minutes before going back inside for my food. Turns out it was ready but no one thought to bring it out to me. Pretty surprising for a restaurant that also has drive-in service.

Great food Great service Ample parking Would revisit again Food : 5/5 |

Ive eaten at alot of different places all over the world and Ive never had a bad meal at white spot. Whether its steak, fries or chicken fingers everything is top notch. The birthday cake milkshake is insanely delicious!!!

Food was on point as usual.

Mediocre food and poor service. Good thing its shutting down. White spot in general has gone downhill.

Angela was our server and she did such a great and awesome job!

So good, flavourful, and vegan! Subbed chicken with extra broccoli and extra mushrooms at no extra charge. Took some time as it was a large group, but well worth the wait!

The food here is the same as it is at all white spots, the quality is reasonable for a Family Diner, the services always good and the price is reasonable for what youre getting.

I always enjoy a Whitespot breakfast, today I had the proviso eve of being served by Sandy and I wish every restaurant had service like she provides. My wife and I were both amazed at how she is running around and always had a lovely smile to greet and assist. Really appreciate everything and looking forward to returning soon.

Their classic burger with mushrooms, sandwiches, and the clam chowder are the best

Great service and staff. Food is always consistent

Friendly staff were quite accommodating.

Waitress was amazing! However, the food was terrible. I ve been to white spot many times before But for some reason today, the food just didn t sit right with me. I believe that they are cutting corners and shipping out on shit These guys are terrible. The manager came to the table to fix my order, but did not even apologize for their inaccuracies and poor food. But the waitress was amazing!

No hostess for 15 minutes. only one waitress for the entire place. the burgers were mediocre and expensive. we waited 30 minutes to serve us the food (group of 4) and we were the only table in the restaurant.

Love the potatoes and the potato refill

Amazing service, unlimited hashbrowns (promotion) and yummy food

A great family restaurant. Good food and classic White Spot fare. Love the milk shakes. Very family friendly.

Good environment and good service!

Awesome

Im not sure what I had. It was too English muffins with poached eggs under it was sauteed green onions, spinach and mushrooms and eggs on top. Then they put Hollandaise sauce on top of it. Not too much. Just enough to give it a good flavor. It was delicious! Our server was lovely. She kept my friends coffee, filled my water filled and was prompt with everything we requested.

Not much different from any other White Spot if you re dining inside. Outside, this appears to be one of the few remaining drive-in locations.

I come here all the time. I love the White Spot burgers and breakfast! Today I had something new--the queso bowl and it was pretty good too, but I would of liked more queso. I also like looking at all the old pictures of Nat Bailey and the early restaurants. Parking: Lots of spots Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level and power operated entry doors

Service Amazing

It s white spot kids like it!!!

We came as a party of 10. Andrew was our server and he provided amazing service. He went above and beyond - we had a great time! Thank you!

This is a shout out to a very organized, well presented waitress who handle customer needs so well. Sandra 1505... Thank you for serving us during the beginning of lunch rush!! We came in at 11:45 am and it was quiet . Suddenly, every table was being moved around to cover large parties and the noise volume built . Sandra catered so nicely to our brunch requests. Totally took care of us. Please give a shout out to the hostess that seated us too. She handle crowds and old people beautifully too Also it is nice to still drive-ins and new booths Vegetarian options: Just nice to see affordable salad options

Kid-friendliness: good service for my autistic grandsons. Wheelchair accessibility: right by the front door Recommended dishes The Spots Fish & Chips

Arrived at 8:30pm, was told that there was no soup, was told the summer salad wouldn t have tomatoes, was told no blueberry pie maybe no fries after last call to the kitchen. Waited longer than a usual length of time, to find the salad looking and tasting dull and over dressed (soggy). Over all, a mediocre experience and a $75 bill with tip.

Was sat at a table in the corner. Sat there for 15min. Never saw a server or any other staff come to my table. Just walked out. Terrible service.

Tasty food and clean washrooms!

Lunch service was fast and food was fresh

It was so cold in there

Great seating! Exceptional service and staff! So accommodating for our large group and food came out in a timely manner and always tastes great! Have been here on multiple occasions with smaller party and staff is always friendly and helpful! An excellent White Spot!

Pretty standard for every white spot except the server we had was really abrupt and constantly angry. Idk if he just was having a bad day but he was rude. Food is excellent. Highly recommend the zoo sticks! Really don t like the atmosphere during dinner though. Idk if it s because the seating is so close or that we were seated right in front of a kitchen, but that was literally the loudest restaurant I ve ever been to. We could barely hear each other talk.

Got the fish and chips. Fish was not crispy at all

Used car hop service and service, etc was really good

Consistent WS quality!

We went here for Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Very generous portion. Vegetables could have had more flavour. Blueberry shake, chocolate and mocha milkshake, all very good. Service was very good. Atmosphere could be improved.

Staff is friendly everything else is exactly what you expect from White Spot

Good is usually good they are also usually quite busy

Fast and efficient service with a smile. Great food as always.

No issue. All good with friends

We met as a family in a nice sized booth. New items on White spot menu and they did not disappointment. Staff is really great there

The overall experience was okay, although beef dip buns were soaked in dip underneath (not from the side the meat was placed on), so it was impossible to hold it, it was breaking apart. The dip was delivered in a small bowl with part of the dip on the plate, spilled over. So serving kinda spoiled the impression, although the taste was good. After the main course decided to order a dessert. Was warned that carrot pie was not available - ok. Ordered rhubarb pie only to hear in a minute that they cant serve it. Asked for brownie, was delivered THIS (see the pic attached). Not only its like a regular piece of brownie from the store sliced in halves (god, the scoop of ice cream was bigger!), they charge for it almost $9! No cutlery was delivered along, the waitress asked if Id like a spoon (how do you expect people eat brownie with a spoon? its too dense; just FYI, for any dessert a la mode both items are used - yes, both, fork AND spoon) or a fork. When asked for a fork, Ive expected a cake fork, but - ta-dam! - was given a full-sized one. So yeah, mystery solved - if only youd advise me the fork would be a regular-sized one...

So over all the experience was fine, but they really do need to learn how to make rice if I wanted to order a blob of mush I would have ordered mashed potatoes

I really liked their food. I give this restaurant a 4 star is because of their ketchup. it was so hard to squeeze out. I squeezed it so hard that ketchup went into my eyes but my eyes are fine. :)

White spot Breakfast is always a full meal deal!

This sucks, the meal took over an hour. The service is horrible and the food isn t even that good. It s just poor quality and management.

Always will live by the standards.

Car delivery had awesome service!

We were told it was busy. Had to wait to be seated. While we were eating. Other guests were seated asap! Our food was under the heat lamp awhile. This wont be a place Id frequent. They value regular guests. Over new ones. Give priority.

As expected

Parking: Parking is limited. The restaurant is very small. Food

Went on a gloomy Sunday morning and was treated to my favourite comfort food! Service was timely and friendly and the food was delicious. The only thing I was disappointed in was the Eggs Benny portion but other than that it was delicious! The prices are higher than ever but it s not their fault.

I always have a great meal at White spot.

It would be good for casual meals with friends

Service was excellent and food was great as usual at White Spot!

We live in Abbotsford BC but always come here when in town or having our vehicle serviced . Sandra is just an awesome attentive server who enjoys her job and the people she serves. The food is always top notch I have the roast beef hash or eggs Benny. My wife has the BC Sunny start never disappointed except the fruit bowl could be better Parking: Free big lot easy access

Had a Group meeting and with a large table of patrons. The service was superb, everything was as expected and the food was delicious. I had a BC Burger & fries and loved it as always. Thanks for the great food experience.

My granddaughters favourite restaurant, pirate ship and chocolate dessert!

Our favorite lunch spot travel from almost new West just because we find this location is always fresh and fast! Nice waitress/waiters as well
