We placed a huge order here for a birthday party and *they got everything right.* This is nothing short of a miracle, considering no White Castle can seem to get a small order correct. They were amazing here! read more

One star review because the wait time in the drive through lane is ridiculously long. You CAN do better

Cold service cold food it's not all MADE TO ORDER and these are the same People who provide shitty customer service and want $15 an hour!? FOR WHAT YALL CANT EVEN SERVE DECENT FOOD OR SERVICE!! I don't recommend this place unless you have a habit of making poor decisions. No worth the it! Negative one star read more

Food we got was good, but 6 of the sliders we ordered didn't make it into our bag ... even ordered through the app to ensure order accuracy. Didn't find out until we were already home. Guess two of us will be eating sandwiches tonight. read more

Harold and Kumar had the right idea! Those little tiny burgers were worth all the stuff they went through! For my short visit in Chicago I had to try this place, they pop up like McDonald's in LA. Let's see what the hype is all about. 20 please, 10 cheeseburger, 5 regular and 5 Jalapeno cheeseburger (which tasted like pepper jack cheese) I wasn't able to eat these little critters fresh but once I got them back to LA, I popped them in the oven and viola, BOMB! These tiny burgers are good and I can see why you would have to order a crap load of these. You can't get enough. Onions cooked into the meat, with one pickle and cheese. Super yummy! I want MORE!!! Pricing is different for the different burgers they offer, Regular, cheeseburger, jalapeno cheeseburger and bacon cheeseburger. Happy eating folks! read more

Tonight was my first time having White Castle. I'm not from the US and I've seen people eating White Castle in so many movies!! I was intrigued! I tried the original sliders, the original sliders with regular cheese, sliders with jalapeño cheese and sliders with smoked cheddar cheese. The ones with jalapeño cheese were the BEST of the night. I didn't read any of the reviews before going there since my husband suggested eating there when we were basically out the street. They come in little individual boxes which is a waste of material but they do keep the little sandwiches alive without being smushed. The bread is SO soft. It's very different than other fast foods but worth the try. The location was clean and the employee was friendly! read more

Aw, yeah. Once every 5 years or so, I get The Crave®. Today, out looking for a new bathtub fauct, and feeling very Home Improvement, I had to stop for a couple sliders. And a Coke, which also I rarely drink. My only regret? Not noticing they serve BACON CHEESEBURGERS now at the Castle Cafe. Ah well, they'll still be there in five years when I head to Castello Bianco again. read more

Um, no. No no no no no no no no no no no no no. 1. I had never been to a White Castle, and never had any desire. 2. My friend (looooong story) went on a company-sponsored trip last year, in which he and three colleagues rented an RV and travelled to each state with a White Castle. They ate White Castle almost every meal for four days. He loves the joint but doesn't eat beef and was interested in trying the pulled pork sandwich. So when I couldn't think of any non-Mexican late-night places within striking distance of where we were (Avondale-ish), this became our destination. God forgive me for acquiescing. Anyway, the "food" is terrible. Honestly, I can't believe that ANYbody likes this stuff. Some places are crappy quality and bad for you but still taste good and people love them. No harm done. But how anybody can enjoy this dreck is beyond me. Shame on you if you are one of them. The "slider": BLECH. D-. This thing is slimy enough but then they roll it in a wrapper so that the steam can turn the bun into mush. Disgusting. The onion rings: Hands down the worst that I have ever had. F. The fries: Limp but okay. C-. The barbecue pulled pork: Also okay. C-. The fish sandwich: Utterly wretched. D-. Chicken ring: The idea is astonishing but in any case it didn't taste half bad. C. We wanted to end the meal with a chocolate shake but the machine was already being cleaned for the night, to the surprise of the cashier AND the manager. So not only does their food taste awful but they are incompetent. Heaven knows whether the shake would have brought my impression up or down. Two stars instead of one because they aren't trying to be anything other than what they are. Which is, the shittiest fast food in America, a real trick when you think about it. I told my friend that this was the low point of my whole life; if I ever found myself doing a month stint in County, tossing salads in between beatings, this would still rank below that. "Shame, and eternal shame. Nothing but shame." (That's a quote from Shakespeare's Henry V. I'm trying to add a tiny touch of class to this debacle.) read more

You gotta go with Harold and Kumar on this one. These grilled sliders are pretty darn good; they're definitely better than sliders offered in most fast food restaurants. I suggest the Cheeseburger sliders (you gotta get the cheese!), they taste much better than the original sliders. Trust me, the cheese's worth it (and this is coming from a lactose intolerant guy lol). The sliders come with beef patty, onions and pickles and they are really small. But yeah, White Castle's definitely worth trying for if you're into burgers. read more

White Castle - The original slider - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not a fan! This was my first visit to White Castle and I wasn't impressed. My friends and I stopped by to try it out while on vacation in Chicago. Honestly the burgers taste like something frozen that I threw in the microwave. The buns are soggy and the burgers are far from fresh. They actually have a bunch just sitting there ready to serve. I guess you can't expect too much for a cheap burger. However, coming from LA I'd prefer paying extra money to get an IN-N-Out burger. At least I can say I tried these famous burgers. read more

Ghost Pepper Cheese Sliders are to die for! When White Castle gets rid of this gem I'll probably only come by a couple of times a year instead of the couple of times a week. Am I the only one that thinks White Castle's black coffee is really good? read more

Oh nostalgia, how you make everything seem so much better than it actually is... The last time I had White Castle was during a school field trip 10 years ago and I remember it being delicious, probably because our orchestra teacher treated everyone. Imagine two full school busses of orchestra students pulling up to the driveway. That must have been one hell of a rush for the employees! This time, a group of friends and I dropped by for some much needed post-music festival nourishment and I was overcome with child-like joy. Just as I had remembered, the buns were warm and the flavors were simple but comforting. I had two of the regular sliders, two jalapeno sliders, and an order of the french toast sticks. It was the perfect amount of food and left me satisfied. The french toast sticks were warm and crunchy. Apparently they have Belgian waffles now, which had me intrigued. I wish they recycled the little boxes or maybe stopped putting each slider in its own little box...It seems a little wasteful to me. The best part was that the employees were very friendly and accommodating even late at night. This White Castle had the best customer service and cleanest bathrooms/seating I have seen in years. read more

White Castle - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is my favorite white castle. I drive all the way over here from the southside of Chicago to treat myself. Why? Because I have never been to this Whitecastle and placed an order and their burgers came out cold. All the other white castles seem as if they cook the white castles and let them sit there waiting for people to order them and they come to you cool to the touch. At this restaurant however when you get your white castles whether it is early in the afternoon or late in the evening they are always steaming hot just like I like them. And their fries are always hot too. This is the only white castle in the Chicagoland area that I have been to that their food is consistently good. Oh and another bonus with this Whitecastle is that it always looks clean. There is not a white castle in the city on the southside the looks sanitary. Oh and another bonus is that they're nice and fast. Some of the other places will give you cold burgers and it takes 10 minutes for you to get your food. If it takes 10 minutes then why the heck is it cold?!?! it should be steaming hot!!! With that being said I visited today and had a slight disappointment but I'm not going to deduct any stars since they're normally really good. I ordered their mozzarella sticks and like their burgers they came out nice and hot. The problem is that the mozzarella sticks tasted like fish. I have no idea how that happened unless someone stuck them in the same oil they use to cook the little fish bite offerings in. I don't know maybe these are microwave cheese sticks and in that case I can't really explain why they taste like fish but they do but that's OK because I don't come to Whitecastle for mozzarella sticks I come for their piping hot sliders and those as usual did not disappoint. read more

White Castle - Hot, fresh, delicious fix - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I love sliders--but to be honest, I basically came to White Castle, just to say that I went there. And I'm glad I did! The sliders are yummy and CHEAP. I ordered 6 and it was less than $6. I tried the original, bacon and jalapeno. Out of the three, my favorite is the jalapeno, which is basically the original with jalapeno cheese. The bacon is good, too. The crispiness of the bacon goes well with the sogginess (in a good way) of the buns. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if I came at a weird time...but it seems so lonely! There were absolutely no cars in the parking lot and no customers inside (I actually thought it was closed). Overall, this good, cheap and quick fast food. Perfect for late night (or any time of the day) munchies. read more

So Harold and Kumar made these little burgers famous. My only experience with these yummy delights was at the grocery store in the frozen section. It was good but I had to try the real ones for myself. White Castle is up there with In N Out as far as hype. In N Out lived up to the hype, white castle was eh... But I must say they make for some awesome drunk food. I had the cabbie roll through the drive through. It hit the freaking spot. You gotta get the cheesy fries, tasted like a baked potato on fries. Hold the pickles and add cheese, if you're down south check out Krystal burger, basically the same thing. read more

Great slider pick up joint. I have been here with everyone important in my life over the past twenty years. I came here with my ex wife when we were dating. I brought friends from Europe here to "see the slider place" and I have been on dates here with everyone I ever dated - even the vegetarians come eat the fries and watch the drunks late at night. Oh, I could go here one night, then go to the most expensive place in Chicago. It is freaking White Castle. It might not be a Chicago original, but it is awesome. Some dummies complain about sliders.. you dummies - these are sliders! read more

White Castle - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Being from California, I've waited for the day when I can finally try White Castle. Driving around our first day in Chicago, I just happened to see a White Castle. I knew it was an East Coast thing, but it didn't occur to me that I would find one in Chicago. I was ecstatic. Since we already had dinner, my husband and I decided to get a few sliders as a late night snack with our daughter, just to try them. We got a 4-pc meal with 2 regular sliders, 2 cheeseburgers and fries. We added an order of chicken rings (what the heck, right). The chicken rings were pretty good, but not as good as McDonald's. The sliders were juicy and tasty. Although I did like regular sliders better than the cheeseburgers. If I had a choice between White Castle or McDonalds, I would go to White Castle for sure for the sliders...(and to McDonald's for the chicken nuggets). I wish White Castle would open up in San Francisco. read more

White Castle - 2 regular sliders, 2 cheeseburgers, fries & chicken rings 07.26.2011 - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Wow! Great drive-thru staff and very courteous hoppers. Thou, 24 is easy to count, some worker today only had 23 in the bag. So, I called from the VIP parking spot and waited for #24. The guy who answered asked where I was parked. Basically, said in the VIP- lol... Yes, 24 Ultimate Chicken Sirrachi squares to calm my dads crave. So, we have left overs because we all only ate three each. When, I was younger we had contests to see who could eat the most square burgers. These days I get full after 3! Back to the chicken sandwich. It's tasty. Not hot enough for me. Just put more Sirrachi on from my refridgerator. Jalapeño peppers were good, but could be juicer. Buns 'A' plus. Chicken is great. Hope it was real chicken. Not really sure. Highly recommend trying the Ultimate Sirrachi chicken square sandwich. Go early or late, but not drunk. read more

White Castle - Waiting in VIP Parking for 24 White Castle Super Chicken Sirrachi Square Sandwiches - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's almost a rule that I come to White Castle, specifically, this White Castle to eat greasy food after a night of drinking. A friend of mine was DDing for me once and as she often likes to repeat. "He was passed out in the seat, woke up, demanded to be taken to White Castle and then told me how to get there before passing out again." I'm a sucker for greasy food and White Castle definitely fits the bill. The jalapeno cheeseburgers are a stroke of genius in my book, and those little bacon cheeseburgers are just as good. "Just thinking about those tender little White Castle burgers with those little, itty-bitty grilled onions that just explode in your mouth like flavor crystals every time you bite into one... just makes me want to burn this motherfucker down. Come on, Pookie, let's burn this motherfucker down!" Sorry, got a little carried away with the quotes, but White Castle really does stir up an emotional response. What other fast-food chain has a 'Hall of Fame'? Let's face it, if you're eating there you're not worrying about your health at the time, since most people are there after killing their livers with alcohol. You go to White Castle for cheap, greasy flavor. Tasty, cheap, greasy flavor. Before I get carried away again I'll close with two words: Chicken rings-now they even come in Ranch flavor! They never cease to amaze me. read more

http://laughingsquid.com/white-castle-vs-krystal-tiny-hamburgers-north-south/ Growing up I ate Krystal burgers, so I had never had the opportunity to eat White Castle until this past weekend! What a fun little comparison. Basically the same square bun and steam grilled meat with pickle and onions - the only difference is the missing dollop of mustard we southerners find on our Krystal burgers. We ordered a sack of 10 - The cheeseburgers are by far better than the hamburgers and the crinkle cut fries were fresh and crisp. Hands down better than Krystal. I can see why they are a fan favorite of drunken folks and late night munchy runs. Easy to eat and very filling! The only complaint is that if you leave them in the sack too long they get uber soggy...ick. I guess in the future I have to consume them faster! read more

As a part-time vegan, I was excited when I heard White Castle now carried the Impossible Burger. I decided to swing by for lunch today. I ordered 5 Impossible Sliders, and medium fries. You know, just a cute lil snack. The fries were trash, a waste of calories, a real disappointment. Have you ever wondered what it felt like to be an orphan? Or a child that attends a poverty public school? Well you can order some fries here for that experience. They lacked flavor, and character. The burgers were kinda cute, but god dayum they were salty. Like a lil orphan cried on them after getting those poverty fries for dinner. Overall, I still got that "White Castle experience" we all know and love. I'll give it another shot, but probably at a different location. read more

waited just shy of 30 minutes for food for two people in a dead restaurant, they forgot i had ordered. the sandwiches were soggy and the condiment table remained bare even after being informed. ill never bag on someone for having a good time with their coworkers on the clock when it's slow, but to entirely forget there's a job to do is mildly appalling read more

I don't do White Castles often but I love them but sometimes they don't love me lol. This location is probably the best one I've been too. They have an app where you can customize your own crave case so I did 10 original sliders, 5 chicken sandwiches, 10 Jalapeño cheeseburgers and 5 fish sandwiches. Ordered my mom the cheese fries and me a sack of fries. White Castle has the best fast food fries. So when I got home my original sliders had cheese. I don't do cheese on burgers that's why I got the original sliders. My mom threw out the fish sandwiches. Didn't like the taste. You don't want to take chances with bad tasting fish. The chicken sandwiches were ok. I did call the restaurant and they did replace the original sliders for me. Otherwise this would of been a 2 star review. I still do think this is the best White Castle I've been too. Others I've gotten super grease soaked burgers. read more

Thanks for makin my first experience a pleasant one! read more

Drunk and Happy, I have trundled into this White Castle many times (or swerved up to the drive through barely missing the pole). Somehow, late at night, this place calls to me like a Siren. And I come staggering. There is not a bag big enough to fit all of the burgers that I want from here. It is a wizard's balm, a secret spell of fortitude, a magical patty of love and happiness. Which is odd, because it is really a slimy little burger, and there is nothing great about it. So I guess this is a love/hate relationship. The love part: White Castle is always open as late as I need it to be. And the double cheeseburger with katsup is so grossly delicious that I can eat 6. Fries, yuck, soda, only to wash the solids down. I come here only for the burgers. And they hit the spot every time. The hate part: when I wake up in the morning (or the afternoon), I feel sick... and I don't know if it is the booze or the burgers that do it. I am a masochistic fan. read more

I have a vice. It comes in a small cardboard box. It is steamed. It has onions and a pickle. It comes to me in quatities of at least six. So imagine my total delight when, on a visit from out of town and after all the joy that is a Cubs home game, I happen to stumble on this white oasis! This home to fast food royalty! Yes, fill me up a tray full of boxes and boxes of vice! read more

White Castle - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Being from the west coast coming out to chicago I had to get myself some white castle to see what he hype was all about, and the verdict is... underwhelming. I dont know why people like it so much. its not that flavorful, the meat dosn't even look like real meat. Maybe I'm spoiled by real burger joints like In-N-out, but at 11pm, i saw some a few parties come in and be mad grubbing like it was their last meal on earth with white castle, so I'm sure some people dig it, but definitely not for me. read more

White Castle - Burgers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The last White Castle I went to was a literal dump in New Jersey. A relic (with old school menus and broken flickering lights) from the 90s, I thought all WCs were just like that. Not this location! Bright and clean, with employees tending to your every need. Seriously. You ask for something, they give it to you right away with a smile and a "babe." Everything made fresh to order, and even their eggs are fried straight from shell to the skillet... makes me want to add an egg to everything! read more

I have longed to try a White Castle burger. I lived in Florida and Krystal's was a mainstay. But like homospaiens and neanderthals these burger share some obvious links but have evolved to be decidedly different. Both are about the same size, both come in box apparel, but Krystal burgers are slathered in yellow mustard, and White Castle seem only moistened by a thin beefy gravy. I am afraid after 20 years of being a Krystal fan, I have changed my mini burger allegiance to White Castle. read more

This, by far, is the nastiest food that I have ever eaten at a restaurant. My boyfriend and I shared the original sliders and the crispy chicken sliders. There is no way that the sliders are real beef. The meat doesn't look or taste fresh; neither does the chicken. I enjoyed the fries but I could t finish the sliders. I usually take leftovers to hand to homeless people on the street, since I hate to waste food but there was no way I would even give this food to a homeless person. I'm so sorry, but the food here is really, really gross. read more

No bs this place sucks. Management must suck because there's no employees, so therefore it takes forever for them to even get your order. Then wait for your order as well. Try a different White Castle read more

I'm not sure who the woman is leading this place- but I hear her directing and leading people and even a guy touched his face and she asked him to wash his hands. Kiddos to this woman.

This was my first time going to a White Castle restaurant. In California we don't have the restaurants but White Castle is available at any grocery store in the freezer section. I ordered the 4 pack combo and in a few minutes I got my order. Wow, these little burgers taste a whole lot better freshly made than the one we buy from the grocery store. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity again to visit Chicago and White Castle. I would like to try their other items on the menu. read more

Worst place ever, prepare to be waiting for 15 to 20 minutes for a simple order like sliders.

I need to make it 5 stars because it does deserve it and I need to negate all the hate for this place. You people dont seem to understand. 1. Its the only place around that is open 24 hours a day. 2. The food is always correct and cooked properly 3. The staff is always polite if they arent you must be a drunk idiot 4. Its pretty fckin clean for a 24hr Chicago fast food restaurant I have been going to this same White Castle since the late 90s Usually after a late night on the town when I was in my 20s Most of their staff has been there for years and the manager knows me as "the white boy from the burbs". She is a wonderful person and she runs a tight ship. With the amount of drunks,lowlifes,pimps and prostitutes,suburban pricks and drug dealers that come thru at all hours you need to realize what these workers deal with. No matter what day or what time..... If you order burgers they are always good. read more

Despite personally owning the google search term for 'deep fried slider' (check it out, it's a moving picture) I hadn't stepped into a White Castle for a proper meal since 1995. The 2009 visit was everything I expected it to be: it wasn't amazing, it wasn't awful and I felt no ill effects hours later. Win-win, right? My White Castle lunch at Addison and Elston featured a short line, a very friendly staff, and an accurate order. The hamburger sandwiches were tasty enough to make me forget that I'm supposed to loathe the boiled beef. Throw in an order of fries and bonus chicken-rings means I walked away feeling like I had a satisfactory meal. The restaurant was mostly clean (my table could have used a wipedown) and the white tables walls give it a bright, sterile feel. The place didn't make me feel as if I was in some sort of shady place like Hardees (oh snap). I would definitely go back, but I'm in no hurry. read more

Just left this place after I asked for no onions there was onion on my burgers. I went inside and told hem their were onions still there. The manager proceeded to tell me she scrapped them off so their might be some onions on the burgers but they are no onion burgers. Threw burgers in trash and will never return. This is my 3rd incident with this place otherwise I wouldn't even bother with a post usually. This is how bad the service is here. read more
