White Spot - Vancouver Island

It is a White Spot. I like White Spot because of the nostalgia. I like this location in particular because it's close to home. The food is okay, it's on/off. But somehow I always seem to go when the fam is in town. And I don't intend to stop.

PERFECT! (NOT). I have been a White Spot fan far longer than I can truly remember. Way back before the General Foods sell-out... Way back before the 'Garlic-Botullinum Scandal '... Way back before the end of the last Car-Hop service closed down. I remember my family pulling up in the 64 rambler for Car-hop service in lower New Westminster every second Tuesday. <br/ <br/ And I remain a fan to this day, bringing my family to many of the restaurants knowing that we will always be able to find something that is palatable. The food is humbly good, with an adequate portion size and reasonable quality and flavour. All this is well presented in a timely and visually appealing manner, by pleasant staff.<br/ <br/ So is there something wrong? For me, YES! I realize that this may sound petty and all simply semantics, but at this particular location (Douglas and Caledonia), there seems to be a trend which puts me off. 'PERFECT '. Each of the wait staff seem to think this is the only adjective to use. Whatever I (we) order, their answer is 'PERFECT! ' As if to let me know that I was lucky enough to guess the 'secret menu of the day '. 'How is everything tasting '? they ask. 'OK, thank you ', says I. 'Perfect! ' Well, now that you mention it... 'perfect ' would be if you delivered it to my home and propped it up on my belly as I sat on my couch watching the tube, then paid the bill instead of expecting me to. 'PERFECT ' is no way to describe anything that can not be. Food, service, ambaince and value are subjective. Don 't call it 'Perfect '.

Double Ceasar is da bomb.... Good morning conversation and Eggs Benny to keep you coming back.

Good BC food!. Best non fast food burgers in town. Food is always good. Service is proper, not in your face.

If forced at gunpoint to pick one family restaurant chain in Victoria...
