Reviews & Ratings for White Castle

Fast-food burger chain inspires cult-like devotion for its steam-grilled, all-beef Slyders.

In Short
A late-night crowd orders miniature burgers by the sackful at this castle-shaped Midwestern chain restaurant. The menu is short and sweet: hamburgers, cheeseburgers and double cheeseburgers, with all-beef patties steam-grilled on a pile of onions and served on square white buns with pickles. Extras like bacon and jalapeno cheese are also available, as well as non-burger options like fried chicken or fish sandwiches and sides of fries, onion rings and cheese sticks.

why not McDonalds ?

How crazy must a person be to add a CHAIN to a list of "Bests"?

Of course the food is CHEAP, and tacky, and soooooo predictable.

In fact if u look at the size of them 'White Castles' the Mickey D's "Big N Tasty" seems a far better deal.

• Pros: unique, nostalgic
• Cons: bad service, poor value

Steamy mush

by MrEdAA at Citysearch

C'mon, you get what you pay for. White Castle burgers are full of holes so they can use less meat and steamed - the worst way to treat any beef. On top of bad food, it's slower than any "fast" food I've been in.

• Pros: cheap, cheap, cheap
• Cons: taste, service, value

Slides in -- slides out

by ramblervball at Citysearch

Never has then a product that is so bland in flavor been rated so highly. These burgers are too small to satisfy the palate and the service is too slow. The place is more of an irration then a dining experience.

• Pros: unique taste
• Cons: slow service
