Reviews for Jan's on the Beach Restaurant in White Rock, BC
I really wanted this to be a great review. We’d been waiting for months to finally have an opportunity to make it out to white... rock to go to this gluten friendly restaurant. We went on a weekend for an early dinner and it wasn’t busy. We thought we justhad great timing. The first table we were seated at was terrible, there was barely 2 inches of knee room because it was a firetable with propane underneath (which we were not using). We continuously hit our knees and when we sat back we were so far apartwe could barely have a conversation. The only other available table on the patio had this same table so we waited for the onenext to us to clear and expressed our desire to move. It took the waitress at least 20 mins to clear the table for us (therewere only 3 tables of people at the restaurant. It was not busy by any means). The tortilla was dry, crumbly, and stale, thetaco itself was filled with dry, stale, bagged cabbage with no sauce on it. There were also tasteless slimy “pickled” redonions on top of the taco. The fish itself was incredible dry. We stopped eating and when the waitress came to check on ourfirst few bites we told her they were very dry and didn’t taste very good. She offered to bring some chipotle mayo. We agreedand tried that on it. It was disgusting. Between us we started with 6 tacos and were barely able to eat two of them. When thewaitress returned, we asked for the bill, she never offered to bring us a take-out container for the remaining 4 tacos (not thatwe would want it). She did, however, proceed to bring us the full bill including the two taco orders. She didn’t offer todiscount it or credit the bill even though we hardly ate any of the meal. We are out over $60 for the most disgusting mealI’ve ever had. I also cannot believe, after expressing our concern, trying again, and still being unsatisfied, that shecharged us the full bill. I’m incredibly disappointed and would definitely not recommend. Read more
Cute little spot on the promenade, has a nice patio with a decent view of the water. The food was delicious, lots of gluten... free options. My girlfriend is celiac so this was a huge selling point for us! She had the fish and chips and I had the greencurry. The staff were also very friendly. I'd definitely recommend, especially for people with dietary restrictions. Read more
Excellent BC Celiac Association Chapter dinner served at Jans! Total of 30 people enjoyed fresh fish and chips, calamari and... other gluten free, safe meals! Beautiful night for dinner on the patio and we were serenaded by a members son - Austin! Read more
This is my favourite restaurant in the white rock area. The fish and chips is so good and of course gluten free. Drinks are... great as well and the staff is always friendly. Read more
First time going to Jan's on the beach.. and it was amazing. When you first look from the outside.. it was a place you might... quickly check but move on. However, we decided to stop and try it out and it is SO TRUE.. looks can be deceiving. The staff wasvery friendly and when I ordered th seafood fettucine.. the presentation was beautifully done and it tasted AMAZING. You thinksince it was in a bowl it was a good portion but I found it very filling and had to take home. They filled it with lots ofdelicious seafood.. and I was not disappointed. So happy that we did not pass it. Read more
Truly lucked out getting a table outside without a reservation. The staff managed the situation extremely well as Jan was alone... doing all the kitchen duties! Kudos to a great crew consistently putting out amazing flavourful meals! Read more

Jan's on the Beach! First time and WOW! Sooooo good! They had mimosa on 2 for $10!!! Was on a Sunday. Calamari was perfect, huge... pile of onion rings cause we are adults and don't count calories on Sundays lol! Huge chunks of fish for the fish tacos, pulledpork sandwich with yam fries, blackened chicken and brie sandwich. And a complimentary Salted Caramel creme brulee. Nom nomnom. They ran out of chowder ???? and they don't have Ceasar salad due to the cost of Romain at the moment. We over ordered andeveryone was so full. Our waitress was fantastic and so much fun. Will definitely go back. Read more
