Back To Bubba Gumps – Lahaina

On Saturday we returned to Bubba Gumps and I will tell you why. After parking the car and walking over to the restaurant, there was a few people in line before us. It only took about 10 minutes and we were seated right at the window side overlooking the water.

Our two servers  (one in training) were Joe, Sr. Server and Melody,( in training). These two were on top of everything….the mode of operation in the restaurant, drinks and food options. We ordered our drinks (you already know that one) and Don ordered the New Orleans shrimp dish with Jasmine rice and I ordered the crab stuffed large shrimp with Jasmine rice. Oh yeah, we started out with popcorn shrimp as the appetizer. Gotta love their popcorn shrimp.

Without saying, the food is ALWAYS great and then we ordered, to share, the infamous key lime pie. Thank goodness we shared as the portion is huge.

Two things we keep noticing are:

#1 – everyone works as a team. Each one seems to help the other out when needed and

#2 – the young manager has total and consistent control over the operation of the restaurant. He doesn’t look very old but he really knows his position.

Will we return? ABSOLUTELY!

White Spot, Penticton, B.C.

Yesterday was our big day what with a chiropractic visit, hair appointments, grocery shopping and then lunch,so  we stopped in at the White Spot.

Our server, Shandi, has such a way to meet you, one would think she actually knew you. While Don was parking the car, I ordered our beverages and Shandi pops  up and says, with the biggest smile,” wow, it has been forever since I last saw you.”

“…now, because I review restaurants, I thought, maybe she remembered me.This is a laugh on me and I checked back (Feb 2013) and she wasn’t our server. Kudos to Shandi, what a greeting!

I ordered my absolute normal must have…a Monty Mushroom Cheeseburger with and, as Shandi and I totally agreed, it was Friday, therefore, fries should also be there. HAHA

Don ordered the Steakhouse Burger and he devoured it as well. It was delicious. Yes, he had the “because it’s Friday, fries.

Shandi would breeze by and ask how it was, and then have a funny comment and a big smile…and then she was off. This lady is a true asset to the Nat Bailey organization. The food….always.

I have mentioned before, and even praised some mushroom burgers to the moon, BUT, and this is so true, they still have THE best one            E-V-E=R.

When in Penticton, and you want a great burger, stop in. You won’t be disappointed.
