The food is typical for White Castle but the service has to be the worst in the country. Upon greeting, 100% of the time they will ask you for more time this would be understandable but their wait time is insane. You could end up waiting 30 minutes for an order. I've lived near here and gone here so many times, and there hasn't been one time where I've left without an issue. On my last visit, not only were they trying to get rid of me without giving me my drinks, but once I drove away, I realized they messed up by not giving me three entire XL items. I went back on the line and they gave me my items only to look through the items they had originally given me to find that they all had errors. Several people I was ordering for did not want pickles, or onions, and every single burger had them. I was very clear when I said plain. Meat only. The staff is incompetent and they have been for the last two decades. To make matters worse. When I came back to fix my order, there was a customer refusing to move, because he insisted that they complete his order, which was late by two hours, since he ordered advance. read more

5 stars. Yes, I'm giving a fast food establishment 5 stars. If any fast food restaurant deserved 5 stars, it would be this White Castle on Northern and Bell. It could be the melt-in-your-mouth Jalepeno Cheeseburgers, but I think it's more of my memories of this place and to be honest, I've actually never stumbled into this White Castle after a night of boozing - all my memories come completely sober. Reasons why you should go : The most servile and friendly staff I could ever imagine. They will go above and beyond what you need and accommodate you from brewing Sweet Tea to chatting about video games. Another time, they didn't have Pulled Pork Sliders ready and I wasn't willing to wait the full 15 minute for the new batch so I ordered a Jalepeno Cheeseburger (default). The lady decided that wasn't good enough for me, so she made me a double stacked Jalepeno Cheeseburger...with bacon. She served it to me at my table and then COMPLIMENTED ON MY GOLF SHOES. It doesn't get anymore full-service than this. They are always open, literally. I've been to this White Castle for Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Probably been here for Yom Kippur and Good Friday too, but who cares? Nothing is more reassuring to me than the Whisper Lady wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving after a late night of poker with the boys. It reaffirms my degeneration and the familial bond I have with my boys. You are always safe. White Castle has eyes in the sky with the voice of god. Live audio/video feed to a central security system? Holy Skynet, John Connor! My friends and I got kicked out once because we were playing cards with no money involve. If recreational card playing is frowned upon at this establishment, imagine what happens to public intoxication!! Your friends are here. If you grew up in say - the Bayside, Little Neck, Douglaston area, you can always count on seeing one group of your friends here. I've re-connected with at least two groups of friends because we would converge to this spot at 4 AM just to satisfy our craving. Of course, it also sucks when you try to sneak a little slider as a cheat during your diet and your friend catches you after he comes back from a night of drinking. Not real smooth on any accord. I probably come here too often and have too many good times, so here are the actual details people wanted to know: Food: Food is fresh, what can I say? Everything seems to be done on premises. If you need to wash down your slider with anything, I would suggest their Contea Sweet Tea. Contea is better than McDonald's plus they don't shove your cup 80% full of ice. If you're dining in, don't be afraid to ask for a refill and just turn the caldron around and help yourself. For appetizers, get the Fish Nibblers and thank me when the fish juice oozes out at the first bite or get the Cheese Sticks and see how far you can stretch the cheese - a true testament to its freshness. As for their staple, I would suggest Jalepeno Cheeseburgers and regular White Castles. As for regular White Castles, my friend, Keith, likes them with no pickles, but yes pickle juice - I don't know what difference it makes but it always gives me a kick when he gets angry at pickles. Another friend, Garrick, likes the Hash Browns - probably a little oily for my taste (the oil seeped through the carton), but definitely good for skinny guys like GSW. Also, I would suggest you taking your significant other to this restaurant during Valentine's Day. They deck out the place in Valentine's Day decorations and cater full service but menu's the same. My friend, Eric, took his girlfriend and actually recommends it as a good experience. Value: Amazing...plus they have two breakfast sandwiches for $2. Did you know White Castle uses REAL EGGS in their breakfast sandwiches?? Yes, they crack open an egg and fry it on their grill. Recommendation: Jalapeño Cheeseburgers, Pull Pork Sliders, regular White Castles with no pickle but yes pickle juice, Fish Nibs, Cheese Sticks, Hash Browns, all breakfast items with eggs and of course the CONTEA SWEET TEA. read more

Worst place in the world! Waited THIRTY minutes for my food, and it was cold by the time the lady handed it to me. When I asked for the corporate number to complain, she gave me the number to their own store and picked up when I called! Very unprofessional! Terrible food, and even worse service. read more

My first White Castle burger experience 30 minutes after I arrived in La Guardia. The store itself looked a little messy however the burgers were DEEERRRRICIOUS! Much better than the pre-made frozen junk you can get at Costco. But I did have crazy ass poop soup diarrhea shortly afterwards. Now, I'm not sure if it was White Castle Burgers or the 2 coffees I had 20 minutes earlier since I'm kinda sorta lactose, sometimes. *shrugs* Regardless, the burgers are nomnomnommy. I'm actually craving one right now to tell you the truth! Too bad there isn't any White Castle's in the west coast. =( ~Le Sigh read more

I love white castle burgers and the size that they come in. It makes it so easy to eat and put in your mouth when you're in a rush. Their fries and sides are also amazing such as their fish nibblers and I would totally recommend for a delicious meal just on the go! read more

Yes, I gave it a 3 star rating, but you add 1 star if you're drunk off your ass and then add 1 more star if it's after midnight. So under the right circumstances, it has the potential to be a 5 star spot. Keep in mind, these burgers are pretty damn filling. Don't be fooled. I know they're small, but it's deceiving. These burgers are pretty heavy and I don't care how many times you've watched Harold and Kumar. It is just impossible for any 2 human beings to eat as much White Castle as they did at the end of that movie. I don't care if your name is Takeru Kobeyashi, you're not going to down a 30 sack with your drunk friend, who's convinced that in his state of hunger that he can easily inhale 15 belly bombers. I'm sorry, it's not going to happen. With that being said, White Castle is exactly what it is. A 24 hour fast food spot that specializes in mini sliders and is usually busiest around the 2am hour on a Friday Night / Saturday Morning. And just like a drunken one night stand, it will always seem like a great idea at that particular time, but you'll always end up regretting it in the morning. read more

Ahhhhhhhhh what can I say.... one of my favorite all time eateries. I know I know, not too nice on the waistline but man those sliders are awesome!!! I love the cheeseburgers with no ketchup and cheese fries. Of course the large diet coke :). Their drive thru is opened very late , if not 24 hours a day. Try the cheesesticks and even the milkshakes are wonderful. All for a great price. If you are with friends get the sack or even the crave case. Why not?? Yes I do crave!!! lol Great for after clubs and bar hopping!! Or just great anytime! read more

The food is good from this White Castle but the wait ? Omg it's bad. They have you waiting 10 mins. Before you get to place an order

Had a very pleasant experience going through this White Castle's drive thru. We ordered a bag of chicken ring sliders (have you had these? If not, you need to get yourself to the nearest White Castle and put one in your face, stat) and cruised through to the service window where a very sweet cashier handed us our food and hooked us up with a bunch of coupons. A++, would drive through again. read more

Same old fashion hamburgers, recipe never changed since I was a kid, just the price! I wanted my son to try White Castle since their burgers are small and soft. He wasn't too crazy about beef when he was a infant but it's slowly starting to grow on him so I'm giving it to him in small bite sizes. After his first slider, he said it was good and asked for more. He ended up eating 4 sliders, some fries and chicken rings. It was a good lunch for us, I'm just a little stunned how pricey these baby size hamburgers gotten over the years. read more

White Castle - Fast Food Near Me - Bayside, New York

WOW! What an experience! I stopped in with a few buddies and got the Crave Case, and let me just say - CRAVE is RIGHT! This Northern Blvd. location has been around forever. I remember eating White Castle burgers here as a kid on my way home from PS 31 (the school down the block). An interesting fact that most people don't know is that this White Castle location actually used to have girls serving food on roller skates. They serve burgers, doubles, fish sandwiches and they're all on the small square bun. This is the most delicious heart attack you could ever have! Doesn't hurt to grab a milk shake to go along with it. There's a reason why they made a movie about this place. That's because the burgers taste golden! read more

One of the better White Castles around. Of course the food is delicious, and they never have a problem with me ordering the stuff which is never ready to order, like fish nibblers. The building is still the very cool old style porcelain castle. If you see a line in the drive-thru, I suggest just parking and going in instead, it will be quicker. Be sure to get 2 cups of cheese if you get a sack of fries, a regular rookie mistake! The only downside is there is little seating since they remodeled it several years ago, and any seating tends to strewn with trash. You very rarely have to deal with the weirdo crowd that White Castle usually attracts, like the homeless and old guys who always order coffee at 3am, but that's mostly due to Bayside's demographics. Of course instead you have to deal with the regular demographic found in Bayside, awful drunks due to the proximity to guido bars. You're already on the workers good side if you don't give them a hard time they're used to getting. With that in mind, this is of course the most heavenly stop to make after a night of drinking though, and I have regularly come here completely wasted at 5am, 3am, 1am, every night of the week, and even dressed in full baseball gear during the season. So expect to see similar clientele like me. Like the other reviewers mentioned, you will be satisfied beyond belief after a meal here, but your body will pay the next day.... read more

White Castle ANYWHERE Rocks Day Time, Yumm Night Time, Da BOMB! Staff is friendly. They come out and point at you and yell, "you- your order's ready!" Not sure how I feel about the Surf and Turf burger, i think i prefer them separate. But besides that, bring on the baby burgers!!! read more

great for getting a crave case and watching the game with the guys but pretty expensive read more

Kinda dingy, kinda makes you want to walk back out the door you just walked through. That aside, white castle burgers are so addictive! Steamed, soft buns with perfectly melted cheese and a thin juicy layer of meat (I would not consider it a patty). Their fish nibblers are great as well but a tad fishy without the tartar sauce. I only gave this two stars because of the fact that it is a food establishment but I would not want to physically eat there. The burgers are good to eat maybe once or twice a year-super unhealthy considering that mystery "meat". read more

There's a REASON why Harold and Kumar searched valiantly for this joint....it's freakin DELICIOUS! Ok, not haute cuisine but it certainly tastes good when you're (choose your condition): Hungry Drunk Tired Just want a tasty snack It's open all the time, the sliders are to die for (or from depending on your intake) and it's a great overall experience. If you're ever in NYC then this is definitely one of the attractions you MUST experience. The thin, beefy-paste, combined with the grilled onions and fresh soft bun that can fit entirely in your mouth for one gluttonous bite is one of the best late-nights meals I've had. My recommendation - the 20 SACK!!! read more

Typical White Castle. Great for a late night bite after drinking on Bell. I would suggest ordering on the App though. Be sure to sign up for an account before hand though. I placed a whole order and had to sign up. Boy was that a mistake. Had to redo the whole order. Service is always so slow. I think its making a million little burgers that makes this FAST FOOD not so fast. Parking kind of stinks the lot is so small. I suggest onion rings, fish nibbler and sweet potato fries (not always available) as sides. read more

After a late night workout at the gym, what do I do next? I become a Yelp "regular" at White Castle when I check in as I purchase a late night snack. Of course, to me this is a totally logical sequence of events. I can't help it; I crave White Castle cheeseburgers. You either love or hate their burgers, and no review is going to determine which category you fall into. You just have to test your intestinal fortitude for yourself. If you so happen to like them, you might also like their fish sandwiches and fish bites. I'd steer clear of the clams though - basically 90% breading. And for those of you really wanting to stretch your dollar, you might want to go to McDonald's instead: a White Castle cheeseburger now costs over $1 with tax figured in, and is much smaller than other fast food joints' similar offerings. read more

Used to come to this White Castle for years before moving out to Long Island, it hasn't moved and is still a pain in the ass to get into from road. There are maybe a total 6 parking spots and if there is a line at the drive through window you might not even be able to pull out of those spots. It's white castle...same as anywhere else. Except really inconvenient to get into. read more

Sliders to go. Use the White Castle App. Made my order easy and didn't have to wait. I made the order in Jamaica and when I got to the White Castle in Bell Boulevard. The food was hot and ready to go. No lines. No wait. and you can choose what not to put on your burgers and can pay online (credit/paypal) or at store. read more

Bad for your body, but good for your soul. It's 3am, and you have the munchies. What do you do? Drunk or not, this place tastes best when nowhere else is open. There's nothing like the aroma of that greasy, oniony slider. When I was a kid, this place was magical even in the daytime. Back then I could put away ten of them easily. Much later on, it took fewer and fewer of the sliders to do their job. Beef and I don't get along anymore, but I rationalize that this isn't really like eating meat and I might sneak one or two into me. I do, however, still enjoy the clam strips, the chicken sandwich (with a solid piece of white meat, it's not a bad choice at all), and even the surprisingly low fat pulled pork sliders. Oh, right, let's not forget the tasty clam strips and the indulgent fries and onion rings. Breakfast is surprisingly good, too. The drive-thru has gotten far more efficient in recent years, as has the overall level of service as this location. It used to be like the DMV, but now you get through pretty quickly. It is theorized that the more alcohol in your system, the better this place tastes. That's true, but having a taste for the greasy stuff (acquired in college) makes this place all too palatable. I weep for the uninitiated and faint of heart. Even if you never do it again, you must try this place once. Yes, even the vegetarians. read more

They have great prices and fast service. I believe it is the only one in Queens, which is great because that makes them unique. They are open 24/7, which helps with your cravinga for them. read more

This would be a solid 3 stars just for pure convenience. It's right by the Bayside LIRR, on Northern Blvd, open at all hours of the day and night. I've spent many a drunken nights here, unwinding, grabbing a bite before heading home. It's a prime location to meet, greet, and move on. The servers are pretty funny, (I'm sure they see some ridiculous sights) and the "food" is consistent. read more

Your Average White Castle. Cleanliness was okay but not spotless. The food was hot and good like any other White Castle burger. I ordered my sliders with no pickles but they left it on. Small parking lot with 4-5 spots. read more

As a West Coaster who's grown up with In-N-Out as my go-to burger joint, I was highly disappointed with White Castle. The burgers taste like cardboard & if you're a burger joint, that's all that really matters. I've yet to meet any other person who's had White Castle and is from the West Coast that's actually liked it. I think all of the praise centers around convenience and alcohol/drug consumption. read more

I had gone to this restaurant from as early as the 1960's, with my cousin, as we could afford a hamburger for a nickel. They have not changed the recipe, it tastes just as I can remember. The onion rings and fries are really good. My old stomach can no longer tolerate these. This location is at the corner of Bell Blvd and Northern Blvd, with a convenient drive up window. read more

Been coming here since the 60's, lots of pleasant memories of bygone days. Probably the premiere Castle here in Queens, attracts a very eclectic and sometimes boisterous crowd , especially late nite on weekends. My last visit was somewhat confusing, they'd changed the #s of the combos, but we got it straight and the food was awesome as always. read more

THE best white castle EVER EVER EVER. For whatever reason, the burgers and fries taste better here than at any other White Castle. read more

A sack of 10 please... We love their jalapeno cheeseburger! They're absolutely delicious! Great late night place! This particular White Castle is pretty clean. You don't see that many bum hanging around inside. Their parking lot is pretty small but late night, it's always easy to find parking on the street. read more

The White Castle on Bell Blvd will forever remain the true last call of the area. Out of the seven or more bars on Bell, everyone eventually makes their way to the recovery mecca. Here, your diet is completely disregarded in the name of grease, chopped onion, meat, fries, and the security of sobriety. Since we had a big group, we decided to go with the Number 8: 20 piece sack of chicken rings, 10 sliders, and fries. Rather than salivate to the memory, I will advise you to peel the top bun and stack some fries and a chicken ring inside. What I crave! Trust me, it will also be what you crave. read more

Really a 3.5. Your standard Bellybombers, prepped as expected. Minus a star since the Freestyle Coca Cola Machine was out of all things...Coke. They gain the star back for excellent and friendly counter service, but lose half a star since the tables were not clean. Would return, when I have the crave. read more

If you go to the west coast, you have to stop by In-N-Out. If you go to the east coast, I feel, you have to stop by White Castle and that's exactly what I did! Luckily, this location is very close to where we stay so it's an easy trip in. I usually have only gotten drive thru (once to carry a box of 20 sliders on to my flight home) but decided to eat inside with thoughts of that last scene from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle that looked so satisfying. As usual, it didn't disappoint. The sliders are always great and you can forget how easy they are to put down because they're so pillowy soft when fresh. The fries aren't spectacular but they're good enough to accompany a quick demolition of tiny burgers. The restaurant itself doesn't feel particularly nice or clean, but whatever....you ain't there for the decor. read more

Well it's a white castle, and it is two in the morning so that immediately get you three stars. The extra star is for the convenient location and the ease of the drive-through. Standard order of sack of 10 sliders and chicken rings. Always good going down. The next day is when the trouble begins. I have only been to the inside of this restaurant once, and it is fairly clean and the employees are courteous and the bathroom always has toilet paper so that's a plus read more

Legit worst customer service ever!! Everyone in that store has attitude including their so called "manager" JERRY. My husband and I ordered a crave case for pickup on a day they apparently they closed early (11pm). We arrived around 11:10pm and they said they had closed and tried to call us but, we had no missed calls or a VM. So I asked for the manager when Jerry picked up just kept repeating we are closed and we called you. No apologies or anything at all. When I explained to him we had no missed calls, he kept saying we are closed and I saw my staff make a call. So I asked him whats with the attitude and he goes I AM NOT GIVING YOU ATTITUDE YOU THINK THIS IS ATTITUDE. If that isn't attitude then what is it? Anyways 2-3 weeks later I call to see what time they are opened until and a staff picks up with attitude saying they are open til 12am and hangs up. Just a terrible store... Won't go back!! read more

If it's snowing/raining, you can just go to the drive-thru. The food smells so good. Cheeseburgers hit the spot and I like their onion rings (the fries weren't bad either--I'm just not into fries). A fast-food lover's dream on Bell Blvd. OR when you don't have the willpower/$$$ to go for Mickey's Japanese. Oh, and five stars when you get the sweet potato fries!!! read more

Since it is a franchise, I'll stick to the specific details of "this one" In a high traffic area (corner of Bell Blvd + Northern Blvd), this place has a nice-sized parking lot. Definitely a plus. Serving staff is usually kids (probably high school-ers) and they do a pretty good job of getting an order right. They do it alright, serve me timely, and taste pretty good. I give'em four stars and a "thank you." read more

If you've been to any White Castle, you've been to all of them. Good unhealthy drunk food. Just make sure you're not far from the restroom the next morning. Some times this stuff is better than ex-lax. Chicken rings, loaded fries and the iconic cheeseburger are all pretty good. read more

Garbage. Let me clarify. We sat at the drive-thru window for TEN minutes before anyone said anything, which was "one moment please." wow. We then drove around and proceeded to sit at the window for another 7-10 minutes. The only reason this place didn't get one star was because the loaded fries made my day... after I finally got them. read more
