White Spot (Kitsilano)

2518 West Broadway, Vancouver                         www.whitespot.ca
FOOD
Well, what can we say? Who doesn't have a soft spot for White Spot and its Triple O Sauce? We had originally intended to go to Moderne Burger but it's closed on Mondays, so we crossed the street to the reliable Spot in Kitsilano. Little has changed with the Spot's signature burgers since our childhood Pirate Pak days — and that's a good thing. It's a reliably tasty burger even if the "Bigger" burger is a tad on the smallish side. There were mixed opinions about the addition of lettuce and tomato but it was minor quibbling. We loved the crisp bacon and the bottomless fries (and gravy!).

AMBIENCE
Cozy and comfortable. Our booth seating was a tad tight.

SERVICE
Very friendly and attentive.

VALUE
At $12-$13, the burger combos — again with endless fries — represent pretty good value, we'd say.

Summing it up, eating at White Spot is like driving a 2014 Toyota Corolla down E. 12th Ave. between Fraser St and Clark Drive with Ryan Seacrest in the passenger seat and Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here playing on the radio. (Visited on March 10, 2014).
