White Spot

It's hit or miss. Sometimes I get sick and sometimes I don't. I just love the legendary burger too much to not keep going. It's the only thing I ever order so not sure about the rest of their GlutenWise menu. I used to bring my own gf bun before they started to carry their own. I really wish they would bring back the turkey gravy which was GF because you could get that as a side or as a poutine and be GF still. They took it off last year and it's still disappointing.

The GF menu is kind of dumb as they suggest the smash browns for all breakfast items yet they are deep fried, cross contamination?!? When I went to the Maple Ridge location I asked for the shredded hash browns instead and the waitress in a not so friendly way said "those are coated in flour you know", I asked her why then they are an option on a GF menu? And that I have had them before without an issue. She said "well I guess it doesn't affect you then" long story short I got the smash browns, felt like crap for two days and the shredded hash browns do not contain any flour. Been to a few white spots since but only for breakfast and no issues.

Terrible . Never go there please.

Every time I've eaten at White Spot I've gotten sick.

Good food, dedicated gluten free menu.

They don’t claim to be a gluten free place and warn about cross contamination but do offer gluten free options.

I ordered one of the gluten free pasta dishes, was concerned when they brought a different option. They did confirm that the substitute was gluten free. It tasted amazing! I am definitely regretting eating it now.

White Spot clearly marks every order that has allergies, but unfortunately are not always successful with keeping them clean of cross contact. I get glutened here on average 1/4 times per meal. White Spot also changed the gravy to contain flour, which is a big let down as it's hard to find safe poutine away from Vancouver. I like the restaurant for being a classic and something my grandma loves to visit, but I'm always taking a gamble eating here.

One of the servers has gluten and lactose intolerance so she knows exactly how to adjust menu items to make them safe. It seems that the kitchen is aware of gluten and possible cross contamination because of her.
