Prince Gastronome. Of course, a place called White Spot would be covered floor to ceiling in shades of brown. I guess they couldnt call it Brown Spot, now could they? About the only thing white I could find was the actual logo. The rest is clearly designed by committee and surgically removed of anything resembling actual personality. If I took any random individual (that wouldnt press charges for doing so), blindfolded them, and released them in White Spot and had them guess the location without glancing at a menu, they’d probably be stumped. Remove the signs outside and youd confuse it for the bank across the street. I mean it, every single building for two blocks shares the same cyan roof and sandy-beige wallssomeone mustve gotten a bulk discount at Glidden. And to think White Spot recently was renovated to look this way.I remember White Spot being a family restaurant. They still advertise that on their website. Apparently now they want to be a pub. There are TVs everywhere with a bar dead center basking like a beached whale. As pubs go, Ive seen more liquor options in the pantry of a Portuguese family. And Im not kidding about the brown motif; at least other restaurants throw in a dash of primarythis has nothing. Hardwood floors with matching chairs that could meld into the background like an Escher print. The upholstery, the mats, the pillars, the tables, all brown. Solid Snake could vanish in a place like this. Dissecting my photos for color is like hunting for WaldoI finally spotted a splash of red upon finding the arsenal of Heinz ketchup dispensers. I admit its not cheap looking; this was a very expensive renovation. I just want to stare at the interior designer like a golden retriever that just caught his owner dancing to One Direction in the kitchenthat tilt-headed, vapid stare with mouth agape look. It reminds me of movies by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, Red Dragon, X-Men 3), able to ape the skill of better directors, but has little vision himself. None of this concerns the clientele. All that matters is if White Spot still maintains its reputation of serving large amounts of inexpensive semi-decent food. My girlfriend and I each ordered burgerscorrection, their award-winning burgers. I upgraded my fries to a poutine, a bad idea, as what I received tasted and looked like something that dropped out of Smaugs nose. But as I ate, I became focused on a single enigmawhat award are they referring to? The menu and website make numerous claims about award-winning burgers, but nowhere does it state what the award was, when it was awarded, and where? Theres no asterisk next to the statement; I cant find proof of it anywhere. I searched for the entirety of five minutes on Google and found no mention the award outside of White Spots claim. It could be a total fabrication, or some trifling accolade from a small competition in Dawson Creek (the town, not the showthat would be weird). For all I know, it could be a Participation Badgewhat fat kids like myself got after a day of Scouting. It looks to me that White Spot is abandoning its roots as a family destination and trying to compete in the somewhat dense pub/restaurant fusion category to match the likes of Boston Pizza and Moxies. No, I dont want to go to a pub for a drink; Id rather go to White Spot Who says that?! Was White Spot squeezed by Dennys and IHOP? Did they look at Red Robin and think, Well, we cant compete with that level of flair; lets strip away anything resembling a soul. That should work.All these thoughts ran through my head as I waited for my girlfriend to finish her meal. I know Im a fast eater, but my girlfriend is slower than the pitch drop experiment (wow, obscure much?). Not joking, if I ate as slow as her, Id be pooping the start of my meal by the end of it. As she finished, I glanced out the window to White Spots towering sign. Under hung a changeable letter sign with the words, See our new loo…thats it. What confused me further was the fact the L was one line lower, and the OO the line below it. I figured the employee either couldnt reach or lost his balance and kept diligent on his mission to finish the sign as he tumbled to earththe final K resting in the snow next to his frigid corpse.About the only aspect worthy of praise at White Spot was the service. The food wasnt bad; I just dont understand where the earned reputation comes from. The last time I was here, White Spot had a chicken on the logo. I could have gotten behind that. Despite my generally negative views on family restaurants, White Spot was near the top of that ladder. As it stands, it slots into a list it has no place being on. Food: 3/5Service: 5/5Presentation: 2.5/5Value: 4/5Recommendation: 3/5
Reserve a table for 8 and get seated at a table for 4. 30 min wait for a bigger table despite reservations. Next the waitress completely overlooked the head of the table the entire night. First she didn’t even take his order then when his order did get taken there were no questions as to the customizing of the meal, ie BBQ sauce/spices. Not that it mattered much as there was barely a teaspoon of BBQ sauce on the ribs and the chicken was smothered in Rosemary leaving nothing an offensive amount of seasoning on what should be a pretty simple piece of meat. In keeping with the ignoring of the table head the waitress couldn’t even offer a refill to him but everyone else was offered a top up. So with the horrible service and equally horrible food I can’t see how this establishment remains in business. I don’t recommend this bland freezer food to anyone.
Good food and waitress was friendly but the last two times I was there They were out of ingredients for the meals I ordered. The first was rice and the second was noodles. I think it is due to poor management I don’t see how a restaurant runs out of food
One of Prince George’s Dirt…. One of Prince George’sDirtiest restaurants!The carpets are so filthy Needs some TLC!Use to love this restaurantOwners need to spend some money Also, never see a manager around ever
Made a large order for pick-up today from work. Co-workers caesar salads came with no sauce. I ordered a lifestyle chicken rice bowl with masala curry. The chicken was RAW. My co-worker ordered a different rice bowl with chicken too and hers was way too overdone. Not really sure how the cook in the kitchen got that job with all the inconsistencies in the cooking. Not pleased at all and definitely will not be going back there.
Good family dining – The kids love the boats that come with their meals. Blueberry pie is yummy!
5 or 6 years ago this was a great restaurant that my family frequented, but recently I’ve been in and there is a handful of menu items, not much choice for drinks (besides milkshakes if they still make them) and not wonderful service either. I had some pasta dish and it was meh. Sometimes you’d be better off going a few meters over to timmies.
