NEVER BEEN LESS THAN 5 STARS... This is pretty much the same review I use all over, but then again. White Castle is usually the same, all over. It really is about "The Crave." I love White Castle, who doesn't (wait, don't answer that.) Over my years I have found that you either LOVE the Castle or can't get far enough away. There is nothing better than a WC slider on your way home from a party where the food was only mediocre, to fill that hunger void. That little strip of beef with the holes, cooked onions and pickles are the best. My other favorites include their French fries, a double cheese burger and the clam strips. There is really nothing on the menu that is just no good. The must have one heck of a market survey team before they add an item... Once it goes up on the board it seems to stay there forever. I do miss the car delivery when they would come out and put the tray on your window and load it up it all the goodies, usually 25 burgers, a couple of sacks of fries and a large coke (Harold and Kumar did it best). This Commack location (new for me) is very clean, bright and convenient.. I always wonder if they ever have fill all the tables and chairs up at the same time. The staff here was really nice. It's a family owned business and they all wear shirts that say just that. I don't believe that there is anything I can say to convenience to try the burgers if you're not already a fan, but give em a try... You'll be glad you did. By the way... they pair perfectly with a good Cab! KUDO's to The Castle. read more

I've always lived White Castle. Service was better than expected, drive through gentleman was very nice

I was working nearby this location and for whatever reason the "crave" for White Castle kicked in, and I decided I'd go here for lunch. Went inside instead of using their ridiculous elevator drive-through. Wow, it's a creepy, eerily quiet, dead zone inside the restaurant. Anyway, I placed my order- 4 double cheeseburgers and a large fries - it came out to $18. Wtf? That's the cost of a big 5 Guys burger and fries. The first burger was all right. The second... I was like wait a minute this is actually kinda gross. Halfway through the third one I'm thinking "ok, this is soggy, disgusting, slimy mush." Didn't touch the fourth one. The fries were actually hot and fresh but were still dry and flavorless. Overall, it was an absolutely disgusting and completely overpriced meal. Felt sick afterwards and realized I would never ever return to a White Castle. Seriously though, how is this place still in business? It must be money laundering? read more

My favorite sliders, mozz sticks, and onion rings from any fast food place hands down.

I mean it's white castle. It is truly an amazing nostalgic taste sensation especially for a huge stoner like myself. They recently redid the drive-through and it is perfect. Check out this location before it's gone. I already am missing the Melville location, but taking a ride to Commack is not so bad and worth it read more

Drive-through service was quick and efficient! The staff was also friendly. I ordered four cheese sliders and the sliders came out hot! They were packaged neatly and I received my order within five minutes. I will return to this location due the convenient layout. The end of the drive-through actually pulls you straight into a parking spot! What more could you ask for? read more

White Castle - Cheese Slider - Burgers Near Me - Commack Long Island, New York

I have never been to this White Castle before. The one closest to me apparently closed, which is not the hugest surprise. So I drive to this one and get on the line. After I order, I realize that the building was going to be in the passenger side of the car. When I get up to the area, I see there is a conveyor belt that goes above the car. I drop my card into a cup and watch the rack disappear. A few minutes later, the food and card come back. It was definitely a cool experience. The food is like all other W Castles I have been to so far. It's fine. It's something different than other fast food. The staff was extremely friendly in our limited interaction. I would go again. read more

White Castle - Drive thru conveyor belt - Burgers Near Me - Commack Long Island, New York

Oh is this place filthy!! There are strange people going in and out using the bathroom I think because of the surrounding area and the hotel. Food was amazing as usual, but I did not feel safe at all. I had asked for onion rings instead of fries, and they came out old, hard and cold! I asked kindly if they could be replace them for fresh fries, and the nice young man said "of course." The woman frying up the fries had an attitude! Every table had food and ketchup and grease on it and it was awful. After I told the young person it was dirty, about 10 minutes later he came out to finally clean the tables. I had to clean my own table with hand sanitizer it was gross. I will not be going there again. read more

Fantastic this place makes me druel. I can eat 15 sliders and go run a marathon. This place is truly a gift from heaven.

Just posting to give new visitors a heads up. Definitely the most unique drive-thru I have ever seen. There are no windows along the building, but rather a conveyor belt that goes above your car and drops the food down a chute. Wish I knew this the first time I visited! read more

Caveats: I've never had White Castle. I'm vegetarian. I ate after a flight 4hrs delayed, from CA to NY, and my meal was at 3am in the morning. The place is open 24hrs, so you can pretty much have this stuff any time of the day. That being said, something I ate made me sick. They have vegetarian sliders that are kind of these, patties of squished vegetables. You can get it with a sauce, like thai sweet chili, or something like that. Don't bother. There's not enough on there for you to taste it. There is also ranch that you can get on the side. The burgers were nothing to write home about. Kind of squishy all the way around and inside out. Mayhaps the regular ones are better. Mozzarella sticks: standard ones that you can get from any fast food place. Comes with marinara. Service was kind of slow, probably because it was 3am. Their drive thru is the strangest thing, though. You might want to check it out just for that. I ended up feeling sick an hour later. read more

I have not had White Castle in fifteen years, but they're on Doordash now. Let's go! I ordered two chicken ring slider sandwiches and my compadre ordered five original hamburger sliders, fries and a fudge dipped brownie on a stick. Back in the day, this would have been the ultimate feast fit for Kings. We were fine, but my companion probably needed what "The Castle" calls "A Crave Case" (a ton of hamburger sliders). I'm good on that. I was surprised, but the chicken ring sliders were amazing. There were two fresh chicken rings per sandwich, a slice of half melted American cheese and a nice square bun. Very tasty. I was informed that the original hamburger sliders were just as delicious as they have always been, deeming them a true classic. I was told that the fries were scrumptious as well. They were deep fried as always, and had a light and fluffy texture, with a crisp finish. The fudge dipped brownie on a stick was a massed produced dessert, in a multicolored package, but I was informed it was very good. I am very happy to provide White Castle with this five star review. The prices were incredibly reasonable, the order was made perfectly to our specifications, was prepared quickly and delivered hot and fresh. I won't wait another fifteen years to enjoy the "jewels" of The Castle"! read more

It's a quarter to midnight on a Tuesday and you're at White Castle. Now wait a second. There's a reason why you're at White Castle at a quarter to midnight on a Tuesday. Maybe you're on your way home from the late shift and you're too damn tired to cook and you need a cheap meal before you stagger through the door and collapse on the bed still in your clothes and grab a few hours of brain-dead unconsciousness before you start the next shift. Maybe your lady finally got sick of your shit and was ready to leave and you said no no I'll leave because you'd rather sleep in your car than have her go to her mother's and you need a place to sit down with a couple of burgers and a Coke while you try to figure things out. Maybe you got a piece waiting for you next door at the Commack Motor Inn and you need a quick energy boost before you claim your 15 minutes of fame. Or maybe you're sitting on the couch with the missus and she says quietly but loud enough for you to hear that she's feeling a bit peckish and you volunteer to grab something because you're a nice guy and because it's the third time this week you want an alternative to Taco Bell and Wendy's. So you drive over there. The exterior is a white castle, all right. But there's no moat. No guards. No boiling oil dumped from above onto teeming invaders or unruly serfs--they need it to cook the fries. And there's no king to whom you would herald good news, but let's be honest: it's almost never "good news" to find yourself at White Castle. But the restaurant is clean, much cleaner than your intentions, and the workers are friendlier than you'd expect for a quarter to midnight on a Tuesday. And you order more than you want, more than you need, because it's White Castle and portion control has never been your strong suit and the burgers are small and so are the prices, you know? And those burgers neatly packed in their little boxes remind you of when your parents, when they were still an active part of your life, spoke of them like manna from above, rare delicacies we take for granted today, like soda and lattes on demand. And you pop that first burger in your mouth like a communion wafer from the Church of Our Lady of Myocardial Infarction, and you pace yourself by nibbling on the second but after that it's a blur because of Belly Bomber Blackout from their familiar sogginess and alchemic umami power and yes the fries clear a very low bar but that's not why we're having this party in the first place. And after you've finished your meal, bloated with regret, you swear to never eat them again until you've forgotten that vow, like so many others, and the craving summons you again a few months or weeks or days later. And you hate yourself with a middle-aged kind of self-hate because you can no longer disappear a half-dozen burgers as you could when you were 7, when you consumed sugar and fat and garbage with impunity. And as you consider the countless youthful interests and tastes you've discarded, you ponder one of the few links--in this case, gastronomic--between your past and your present, and as you contemplate your ever-shrinking future, you pose a question to the unfeeling cosmos: Why didn't I get a shake?

What can I possibly tell you about White Castle? The burgers are amazing, the onion rings are divine and for cheap fast food, this place rules. This Commack, NY location is not in a bad neighborhood (for a change) and the restaurant is very clean and efficient. You rarely wait more than 5 minutes for your order, the tabletops are always wiped clean and the floor is not messy at all. If you have any issues whatsoever, tell the manager, Fritz. He is a very friendly guy (always gives my son a free dessert or something) and he will handle any problem you might have. The drive thru is also quick and efficient, although I do not like receiving my food through some weird overhead chute. But hey, its never gotten stuck...so thats good. read more

One of a kind. I have been a White Castle fan since I was a kid, going to the one on Queens Boulevard. This chain attracts an entirely different clientele than McDonalds. The best burgers around. read more

Valentines Day Meal at White Castle Had to get reservations for this event. Not all WC do the Valentines day gig. Commack and Deer Park were listed. Note if you go online and sign up and put in a time and it reads nothing within the next 2 hours - no matter what time you put in, call the place, ask for corporate number and call them during working hours. Sometimes as with us, they can get your reservation in. The Place is the Place, but it has Valentine's Day décor and the hamburger boxes around the heart displays, it also has a small corner section for that picture-perfect spot. Staff dressed in black and or red, were very friendly and willing to take your picture or pose when I took theirs. For this day, they have Wait service. Our Waiter was Juan, a charm and good waiter. We pick from a printed menu on our table with a variety of package choices for hamburgers and French fries or even chicken rings, the dessert menu with a few items like cheesecake on a stick.They had shakes and smoothies listed. I asked for the flavors. C, V, S. Strawberry Banana for the smoothie. I'd suggest for next year, putting a Special in the menu and out for view upon entering. Strawberry Pink shakes and strawberry banana or orange vanilla Creamsicle specials to order for the day/weekend. I'd also have a matradee' or the waiter to tell the customers about the Bold Move game and directing customers to play. I found out about it and the directions, only when I got a bag to pack the burgers to go. Then, I read the burger boxes with things listed like, serenade your hamburger before you eat it, do the worm-attempts count. When I mentioned it to a family that came in with young children, professing that they have come for the last 11 years, they smiled and said oh that will be fun. It was quiet and I think most people did not realize that there was the Bold Move game to play. With that I'd have a camera, video person on hand to capture and edit the fun for staff and P.R. There are gender equal vampire bathrooms! no mirrors. 20 burgers 10 with cheese and 10 without, 4 French Fry bags, 2 drinks and 1 dessert later, the tally was 40 bucks. They do taste good going down. Be aware, they have been nicknamed "belly bombers" for a reason. **o. read more

Being from California, White Castle is. HUGE novelty. I was very excited that my hotel was a few miles away. I had tried White Castle in Vegas but was told that the east coast ones are exceptionally better. As a result, I gave White Castle another chance. I got a few dif sliders - original, bacon cheeseburger, chicken, fish, and jalapeno cheese. The original ones tasted somewhat better than the Vegas ones but they still did not wow me by any means. The ret of the sliders were worse than the original ones. The chicken and fish were over fried and were too hard for me to even finish. I also got the onion rings which were soggy. I get that is fast food but man the food here tasted exceptionally artificial. This Californian will no longer fantasize about White Castle - sticking to my In-n-Out! Btw service here is very very very slow. read more

White Castle - Burgers Near Me - Commack Long Island, New York

oh baby - been through this drive in a zillion times - mostly after an alcohol fueled night. They have this cool over head drive through bucket thing - you put your money in the cup, hit the button and the whole thing goes up and over your head to the window where the murder burgers are placed back in the tray and the return trip begins. It is always a source of amazement when hammered... I believe there is a credit card swipe there too in case you are really jonesing for a burger... read more

I was craving White Castle . The one That was closer to my house close. I went all the way to commack to get it . The drive thru is ridiculous . I've never seen any drive thru like this . You can't even see the person giving you the food . I was scared picking up my food . I couldn't tell where it was coming from . I used to be a big fan of the fish bubblers but not anymore . They tasted bitter something was wrong with them . The chicken waffle was ok . That would be the last time i eat White Castle . I was very disappointed . Never again . read more

This White Castle has been here since the early 80s and I have a feeling it serves as breakfast, lunch and dinner to the sleazoids next door that frequent the notorious Commack Motor Inn (LOL). I have no real issues but-- if you're like me or even CLOSE to my old age - you remember W.C. being inexpensive and "buy 'em by the sack" cheap back in the day. This is no more. Prices have creeped up to modern economic crunch levels. What I'm saying is that my f**king meal cost me $13.00 plus change! Crazy, right ? 2 double cheese, one fries, one soda, 2 fish sliders= $13.00 and change. And I was not "stuffed" when I left either. Nonetheless-- everything tasted fine and the staff was friendly. But sheesh....inflation is a bitch. read more

Currently 30+ minutes into the drive-thru line with only two cars ahead of me. I would have left if I hadn't already paid for my order on the app. read more

i really don't like leaving bad reviews but first they Never get my order right!!I I thought in the months before that it was just the renovations.. but no they have Been getting it wrong for over a year.. my son loves White Castle but I can no longer spend good money and not get what I order I'm sorry.. since the new drive through is open it's even worse..so now after a long day at work .. spending money that I worked hard for.. at an establishment that clearly does not care even one bit.. I can never go back.. and I assure you I'm not the only one... read more

I can say eww because I got drink here and there was some dingy disgusting cup that was stained brown and looked like poop stains on the cup. This cup is where put the money into to pay they use some disgusting conveyor belt to deliver your food I fell dirty when I pull up into the drive thru. Maybe I recommend go to drive through at own risk read more

Amazing Food. I do not personally like the onion rings, but I love everything else. There's nothing wrong with the way the restaurant makes the onion rings, I just don't personally like them. I love the sliders and fries. Absolutely love this establishment and this one is my favorite location. My grandparents had their first date at White Castle in Brooklyn in the 1940's. read more

I must agree with the previous reviews. I too grew up on long island and there's nothing like White Castle. People watching is half the fun, especially if you are one if the few people at three am who hasn't been drinking. I happen to like the drive thru just because it's different, my wife thinks its creepy. I'll be back on the Island the end of the month and a sack from here is definitely on my wish list. I would never ever even think about buying frozen sliders because they just can't duplicate the real thing. read more

Well , what can I say. I bought 10 small square burgers when I was in Long Island two weeks ago. Four regular ( 69 cents each) four with cheese (84 cents each) , and two double regulars ($1.22 each). I know what your thinking, I should have had twenty. I went to the one on Rt. 110, 540 Walt Whitman Rd. , Huntington Station, but I just didn't want to set up a new address, etc on yelp. This location on Huntington St. has been here for at least 25 years( we also visited Walt Whitman's home built in 1810 which is about 1/2 mile from here). These exquisite jewels are steam grilled on a bed of onions and can become an obsession if you know that you are within 10 miles of one. I've been to many on Long Island, and others elsewhere like in Indianapolis. Watching them being grilled, then put into those small cardboard boxes just for me is................................................ Gratifying. read more

Their service is bad. It took them 20 minutes to make a simple order of fries and pack of sliders. They even forgot the ketchup.

We hit this place up from time to time. I'll get a couple of whilte castles and my son will get his chicken rings. The folks behind the counter have been changing over quite a bit recently. There was a period of time where you could barely put in an order because they couldn't speak English, then there were these kinda freaky children of the corn looking people with blank stares that made you want to run out of the store...now it looks like they got normal people there again. lol Regardless, the food is pretty consistent read more

Been here literally 25 times or more! Thank goodness I have one relatively close to home, I wouldn't want to go through what Harold and Kumar went through! My favs are the double cheese burgers, chocolate milkshake, sac of fries and onion rings...sometimes I'll get the fried clams when I'm in the mood. My son loves the jalapeño burgers and my daughter will have the traditional slides. I have always bought them through the drive through, it's fast and they take credit cards.....they have this old bank style set up where you drop your money in a cup on the drivers side, and an elevator takes the cup up and across to the right where the cashier is...shortly, your food is bagged and sent back with change in the same cup!!! Genius!! I remember when slides were .29 cents.....I don't care if they were $2.99 ! Gimme! Shoot.....I'm going to get some now! It's what I crave! LOL! read more

I LOVE White Castles. Born and raised in Missouri, I ate them all the time...in the early morning to midnight! In NY, they actually put ketchup on them for you so that is one less step for me! This particular location always deliver fresh products, but the drive-thru can be slow at times. If you do decide to order through the drive-thru, be prepared for your food to travel through a "tube" instead of the normal window. Hey, it's not the worst...and the food is hot and fresh. They do tie the bag up so your food is not just open while traveling to get to you. Everytime I come to LI, I WILL visit this location! read more

The lady in drive thru was so sweet and patient. Explained the menu to me without a rush . I also had to Wait for my meal but it was totally worth it the cook came out and delivered them with a smile and very kind words . I will be a loyal customer to this WC forever . Thank you guys #No100dollarBills read more

I miss these so bad! Why can't we have them in Seattle? Seriously, the frozen stuff doesn't cut it. Back, when I lived close by or when my folks were still living on the Island and I would visit, this place hit the spot! Cheap burgers, fish and fries, and oh so tasty! Something about the grilling, the shape, those onions... read more

UGH! Now that I live in Los Angeles, there is nowhere to satisfy my belly bomber crave! Those store bought ones are not nearly the same. Definitely a good late night kind of place when the bars are closing. I don't know why but that's when greasy fast food tastes the best. When I come to visit my old home, I usually have the person driving me from JFK to stop there on the way to my parents house. Pauly says -- good stuff although not for everybody. :-) read more

TRULY LIVES UP TO THE WHITE CASTLE PLEDGE: 'Serving the finest products, for the least cost, in the cleanest surroundings, with the most courteous personnel.' Commack White Castle has come a long way since the "silver age (1985-95) " when they had two counters to serve all the late-night huntington drunks. This place is a bit more "decorated" and has an elegant interior. As franco C. points out, the Drive-thru window is a highlight; but the real experience to be had here is more available in the dining area, even in the daytime, where the burgers still come on a paper plate, pump ketchups reign, and free refills on the cokes and coffee. Fried Clam Strips. The people-watching factor here is a bonus, as all Commackers reach their high-points of eccentricity when dining here. .. . from 2 curvy girls with their mother (sharing forty burgers and 4 orders of fries) to the pissed-off dude who wanted no onions bad enough to scream about it. Man Alive!, by the way, the bathrooms have never been cleaner. ***** I brag I can eat about 1-10 white castle burgers in a visit, depending on my cocky mood and appetitie. There is usually a new limited-time-only item on the menu every few weeks, a variation on a tried-and-true staple, which keeps things interesting. Outdoor seating. Open 24 hours. read more

I'm a fan. Cheap, greasy lil burgers. Highly Addictive. This location has been here as long as I can remember. Its just like the other locations. It's not clean nor does it really matter.
