After not eating all day and working up an appetite shopping from one end of Queens Blvd. to the other, I decided to enter this White Castle. I haven't been to this White Castle in decades! The last time was when I was a child and my mother used to bribe me with White Castle in order for me to go to the doctor's at the now non-existent HIP center a few blocks away. The inside has obviously changed since the last time I visited. Seems to be a bit smaller but there is a good amount of seating with two entrances/exits. They are very busy but seem to be able to keep up with the fast pace. I encountered quick and friendly service. They give you your receipt and you wait for your number to be called. The problem is is that the number is not in bold print on the receipt so you wind up frantically looking for it, wondering if the number they are shouting out at the moment is your order. What I love about White Castle is that they are one of the few fast food chains that are vegetarian/vegan friendly. I really loved their vegan veggie sliders. So good and full of vegetables. The only thing problem is is that they don't put any condiments on it, unlike their other burgers. Some dressing or a random pickle/chopped onions wouldn't hurt! The onion chips are great. So are the clam strips. Yes, they are breaded and fried, but they aren't greasy and don't give you that sick feeling most fried foods do. They asked me if I wanted any condiments and so I asked for tartar sauce for my clam strips. I go home to see that they gave me hot sauce. Annoying. Really can't go wrong with White Castle. It's cheap and filling. Pretty sure I'll be hitting this spot up again after another shopping adventure on Black Friday! read more

I'm a fan of White Castle sliders, even if they are fast food, so I ordered some for delivery through Yelp. Took 45 minutes, which is normal. The fish sliders had patties that were about twice as thick as regular sliders, and they were nice. The chicken rings were juicy enough given that they are thin onion-ring-sized pieces of chicken. The fries were kind of limp and boring. Loved the regular sliders as always. Each slider came in its own cardboard sleeve. They gave me a lot of ketchup and honey mustard packets. Probably weighed more than 3 sliders. As for value, at 85 cents per 2 oz original slider, White Castle's not bad. Most major fast food chains will have some cheaper and some more expensive options. read more

This is a much better White Castle than the one in South Plainfield, NJ. They made my hamburgers just the way I like it with no onions! They didn't forget to take out the onions. They have lots of ketchup and didn't run out and give me a lame excuse. The staff here are definitely more friendly and pays more attention to the customers providing excellent customer service. Overall I am very satisfied with this White Castle location and it is closer to my home. read more

Ahhh. White Castle. I don't come here often and when I do, it's more of a nostalgic thing but you can't go wrong with White Castle for a quick burger and fries fix. This one is open 24 hours and they have a drive thru. Decent seating space. Smallish parking lot. The downside here is if you are driving and go during peak hours, you have the mall crowds and traffic to deal with. read more

Haven't been here for more than 20 years. I thought it would be old, dirty & kinda beat up. To my surprise, it is more or less the same as it was, clean & comfortable. Cheap little burgers or in today's parlance, sliders. Depending on you appetite, you'll have 2 to 10 of them. They now have chicken & fish on top of the beef they had before. I would give the beef & chicken a 4, the fish a 3 & the union rings a 2 out of 5. Meals are $6-8 - cheap! read more

What can you say its WHITE CASTLE Belly Bombers, Murder Burgers the best of the killer burgers. There linger for hours and may even revisit at night but it's what you expect from the iconic burger joint. Never looks clean even if it is, again the charm of White Castle. It has to be a go to place for anyone visiting outside of NY even if you like them. Only hamburger place that had such a distinctive smell. McDonald's and Burger King have a distinctive flavor/flavor but NO ONE CAN CLAIM A DISTINCTIVE SMELL like White Castle...you know that's true if you been there. read more

What did I put in my mouth? I tried their impossible buger today. You know that meatless slider that's supposed to taste like meat? Which I wonder why if being a vegetarian is so great why are they always inventing food that is meat-like? Anyway I digress. That thing is... weird. I got the jalapeno impossible burger, at least I think I did. I had a hard time understanding the lady behind the counter. It had nice heat and if I hadn't known it wasn't meat it really could have passed for meat, albeit strangely textured meat. It was ... I don't even know how to describe it except... runny meat. ( I know some of you are asking how that is different from their regular burgers but believe me it's different.) Then there's that strange aftertaste. Will I try it again? Probably. I still haven't tried the other "flavors". Do I like it? I don't know. Maybe it'll grow on me, hopefully metaphorically and not literally. But I guess I should review the restaurant. It's a fast food place. Very typical. Mostly clean. The people are very friendly and it had a cheerful vibe which is better than some places where the people look miserable. Also they have my absolute favorite... fried clam strips. It's really good if it's fresh and today it was fresh. I had to make sure I had something to kill the taste of the impossible burger. read more

So bad but so good. First time eating WC but I can see this will be by go to fix at least every other month.

Decent food with fast service; plenty of parking stalls. This particular White Castle is located on a busy intersection of Queens Blvd; it's been here for decades. read more

GMO very bad not clean and %100 not healthy food. Start to eat healthy food please don't go to fast foods

Ok, this has to be a no-brainer. I live on the same block as White Castle's and a lot of my friends, taxi drivers, ravers alike are jealous of me at the mere mention of the house of the belly bombers. Open 24 hrs except for Xmas and New Year's, the restaurant boasts a full menu. You ask what's special about the sliders? A meat patty with holes to allow steam to grill along the onions and buns. Add cheese and jalapeno becomes a awesome treat. Don't like that? Well you can have fish with tartar sauce. What? You don't care for fish? What about a order of fried clams? Huh? Don't like that either? Then get out of my castle then. It's also a great place to meet up, tweet up, do a craigslist transaction, start a book club, whatever your fancy may be. Parking is available on premises along with a speedy drive-thru. They've got a free-standing beverage center for refills and have wheelchair accessible seating. read more

Made even more famous after Harold and Kumar, White Castle is a great spot to visit after a late night out in New York City. The steamed buns just pairs so well with sweet onions and beef patty. The mini slider burgers are tasty. I ate ten in one sitting. The miniature boxes just adds to the charm of the restaurant. read more

Jeanette Goes to White Castle!!! Yes, simple California girl who knows the product only by association from the infamous Harold and Kumar movie and through friends, travels across the country to sample maybe east coast's version of In-N-Out. Thoughts: It was satisfying, maybe because I was hungry. Simple- two mini buns sandwiching grilled chopped onion, pickles, and a square patty. Sauce from meat patty soaked into the bun was pretty good, though. Cheap at 59 cents and little more for a cheeseburger. Comparison to In-N-Out? I'm sorry, but Harold and Kumar need to stop by California. What, east coast people don't eat veggies??? I would have appreciated some lettuce and tomatoes with animal style sauce. But to say, that I got to experience the euphoric rush of finding White Castle was cool. read more

Since 1921, White Castle has been famous for their slyder (no, that's not a typo) . . . a greasy, square, nearly bite-sized beef patty smothered with onions, topped with a pickle slice and processed cheese, and served on a doughy bun. Unlike their competition, which has added salads and other healthy options to their menus in an effort to keep up with the times, they unapologetically have clung to what has worked for the past eighty-five years - overly salted, cholestereol-laden, high-fat, heavily caloric fries, cheese sticks, and onion rings remain the standard sides, with thick shakes the best way to wash them down. As a result, there are a lot fewer outlets than I remember from my childhood, but a sack of these little treats continues to be the finest fast food fix around. read more

White Castle - 20 Pretzel Chicken Rings $5. - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

What can I say a burger comes in many sizes, large and small. I don't know how they manage to cram so much wonderful flavors into one tiny burger, but boy am I grateful. I could pop six of these little suckers in my mouth, call it a full meal, and have spent less than five dollars. As far as burgers with a great taste to price ratio, there aren't many restaurants or franchises out there that can beat this place. Also noteworthy are their (better than mcnuggets) chicken rings, their (better than Burger King's) onion rings, and their wonderful fish nibblers. I honestly shed a tear of joy when I heard about the marriage with Church's Chicken. I can't think of a time in my life when I did not crave White Castle / Church's Chicken. Review of White Castle Fries They have nice fries. However, I've tasted better fries from the frozen aisle :( Pulled Pork Sandwich Oh my, this thing is tiny. How can they justify charging .99 for this little, one-bite, sandwich? This thing is toooo small to even qualify for the slider category. However, as everybody knows, good things come in small packages. Boy is this sandwich small, and boy is this thing GOOOOOD :) I've tried pulled pork sandwiches from champion pitmasters (NYC BBQ Block Party), and this thing blows those pitmasters' pulled pork sandwiches out of the pit. The pulled pork tastes great. It's meaty and flavorful, all whilst staying juicy. The sauce is very good, classic definition of bbq flavor without being overwhelming, or kicking back too hard. How can one fast food franchise house one of the best burgers, and one of the best pulled pork sandwiches on earth? ps: White Castle is fancy. Proof: besides ketchup, they now have marinara sauce packets = Hotness & Classy. read more

I need most of my cheeseburgers fresh and this is where I can get them. The frozen kind in the supermarket are great but the real deal is the best.

If we could choose only one disgustingly unhealthy food to keep around, it would have to be White Castle. Nothing else hits the spot like these little cheeseburgers do, and no other food will forever remind me of good times and late nights. To those who are afraid to eat here, or who actually have the self control to eat just one or two at a time: you're missing out. You can't live life unless you indulge in a little guilty pleasure; sometimes that pleasure is chocolate, sometimes it's an over-priced handbag, and, just sometimes, it's a tiny, greasy burger in a blue and white box (or 4 or 5). Notes on my location: The service here has gotten progressively better. We used to have to sit in front of the drive-thru window for at least 10 minutes before seeing any hint of life behind the glass. Now, it's 4 minutes tops, no matter how late it is. And they accept credit cards! read more

I've been to this place for the past 15 years and I just love it, I grew up with this place back before it was all redecorated. Well, what can I say? It's WHITE CASTLES!!! haha. The burgers are always awesome and I can chow down like 14 of them. haha, my friends and I occasionally pool in money to buy the crave case and then we have competitions. OMGOODNESS, you can feel the blood rushing through your head after the 10th one. These burgers are warm, delicious, and the little onions on the lovely little beef patties just completes it. This place has great location since it's situated between two malls and two subway stations. Plus, it' s drive thru! haha awesome. I recommend this place to anyone, awesome, just awesome. read more

This old building was torn down and the new one was put up (forgot how long ago). The cheeseburgers are great after a few beers. I usually try to stop by when I'm hungry and in the neighborhood (usually after shopping or drinking). The restaurant is fairly clean and is conveniently located near the Queens Center Mall. I first went to this White Castle when their cheeseburgers were 39 cents. The cheese fries and onion rings are my favorite sides. Occasionally, you may see a homeless person walk in and loiters. Grrrr! The reviews by Gourmet G. (about the cheeseburgers) and Irene F (what White Castle used to be) are spot on. They also offer Church's Chicken these days. Edit: Re-visited on September 4, 2007, realized that this location does accept credit cards. read more

Sliders. I love em. By the sackful, handful, or whatever "ful", these tasty bits of burger are absolutely delicious. Service is abominable and you are lucky if they get your order right, but White Castle is not about service......it is about tradition. And this greasy spoon has been pretty much serving the same exact food for these many (but not too many :) ) years that I have been coming to this place, since I was a kid. Fries, milkshakes, and onion rings are all delicious to boot. Until they decide to change their mind about opening up in Florida, I will continue to look forward to coming to these little oasis's of delicious greasiness when I head back North. read more

I haven't had them for awhile. They still taste great. The staff at this location, is doing great.

I like fast food, and I like White Castle. It's in my top 5 preferred fast food joints. Nothing wrong with this White Castle location. Seats are plentiful and it's open 24 hours with a drive-thru. The only concern I have is that leaving the parking lot in your car on a busy day can be difficult with all the pedestrians crossing in front of the exit ramp. read more

It's White Castle soooo... yea, how much can really be said? It's one of those things that seems brilliant the moment someone suggests it and yet ruefully disdained the moment you wake up in the morning. The tiny burgers were mushy yet delicious. The chicken rings were crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. And best of all, (forgive me, all you religious carnivores) they had veggie burgers (for my wife, I swear it)!! Unfortunately, our gourmet experience was disrupted by some folks who had clearly imbibed a few too many alcoholic concoctions. But alas, it is late night White Castle (or early morning depending on how you see it) so there's really no surprise here. Under the right conditions, I'm good for two or three annual White Castle trips. More than that, I really couldn't live with myself. Good thing my count resets in just a couple days! read more

Food is fine, never had any problems with what I ordered. Love their solid, crispy onion rings. Sometimes Burger King can be kind of soft and wet, like they didn't fry it long enough and the breading was coming off. The Crinkle Fries here are never burnt or overly brown, so I'm assuming they use fresh oil. I am never disappointed with their fries here. I love the cheese sauce. I usually order a whole bunch. Once I got the ranch fries -- fries, bacon, ranch, and maybe cheese? Delicious! The real gripe here is that they suck at taking coupons. Don't get me wrong -- they always honor them, but it's as if they have never seen a coupon before, the way they are staring at it as if it were a extremely difficult math problem. And each and every time, they go to another cashier, who doesn't know how to input the coupon. It becomes this merry go round of employees who have never seen a coupon before. Seriously, I highly doubt we are the only ones using it, in all of Elmhurst. And it becomes this long drawn out process. I know the managers have a better understanding of what to do -- I once saw a young guy in a dress shirt help with the coupon situation -- but seeing a manager there is rare. I never see anyone up front and I feel kind of bad that their employees, most of them older and not entirely fluent with English, floundering on their own. A couple things I didn't care for on the menu: Waffle sandwiches -- the waffles were too sweet and it was weird eating it with sausage/eggs/bacon, but that's just a personal taste preference. Veggie burger -- OK, this was totally disgusting. Not edible. I took a bite and couldn't do it. Gross. This is a fast food joint, I really don't think people coming here are watching their weight or searching for a vegetarian option. Or if a vegetarian is coming in here to eat....well, then that's just plain ridiculous. read more

Growing up in California, and listening to early rap, I learned about White Castle from the Beastie Boys. (If I could give 0 stars for the murder burgers, I would. But a 1 star rating is the lowest that I can give.) *okay, this is my opinion here. read the below at your own risk* Well, the itty bitty burgers may be inexpensive but have you taken a look at the patties? They appear to be a beef version of Spam. This location doubles as a fried chicken joint. If you want a better quality food (not necessarily healthy though), stay away from the burgers and get the fried chicken instead. My after-thoughts of this place? I gave them the benefit of the doubt and have tried the burgers at least 3 times. Yet, each time, it disagreed with my stomach as well as with some of my friends' too. Tip: keep plenty of toilet paper on hand. I call this place "Day After Burger" for a reason... Best thing about this place: they have a drive through. read more

The food is good the place is not. The staff is nice and does well with putting the food together but the problem here is that this place is a homeless central. This place is filled with homeless in all my visits and all the time all I get is people ask me for change which is really annoying. If they update security and clean the bathrooms this will be a perfect place. read more

Back in September I took a trip to NY and felt like I had to have White Castle. For those of you from LA do NOT compare this to IN-N-OUT. It's on a different level of cooking. I ordered the SNACK MEAL 2 . It inlcuded 4 cheeseburgers, fries, and a drink. It was great, however if your going to go there for lunch or casual eating its not the same. Go when you've drink too much. It makes all the difference. :] ENJOY! read more

I like it much...it's different. Patty is super thin and full of fat. The bun is super soft and moist. The whole thing really works well together. Doesn't need ketchup or mustard. Fries are krinkle cut and are fried pretty well..could be crispier. Order the cheeseburger. read more

White Castle - Veg n chicken sliders - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

This is the only fast food restaurant around my neighborhood that is open 24/7. I always come here around 1-2am. This is one of my favorite fast food restaurant in this neighborhood. The staff team is wonderful. They're kind, fast, and welcoming. Most of the older women who works here love to socialize with their customers. They never mess up my burgers which is important because when it comes to my sliders, I'm very picky. They once messed up my order (charged me for a small chicken ring when I wanted a small onion ring). Small chicken ring was $2.00 more than small onion rings. I told them to keep the money and just give me the onion rings (I was really craving for onion rings). The manager told the employee to give me a large onion rings including the chicken rings they made by mistake. They also apologized on their behalf. Their customer service is wonderful. They know how to handle issues correctly. The store is kept clean. Bathrooms are offered to customers. read more

So many childhood memories to be had at this particular White Castle, as i used to live right in back of Queens Center Mall in my teens. I frequently spent most of my young life, eating here with friends after school and causing all types of silly shenanigans....Ahhh! to be a kid again. Fast forward 20 years and little has changed. Unfortunately i picked BLACK FRIDAY to go grab some sliders, perhaps the worst possible day to go for sliders. upon stepping out of my car, I was surrounded by Deal seeking, shopping bag yielding lunatics. We were shoulder to shoulder, belly to belly...and my only intention was avoiding there frantic charge into JC Penny for a couple of bucks off some linens. Approaching the door there was a big poster advertising a turkey slider with sweet potato fries which did momentarily gain consideration. But once inside the aroma of the steamed burgers blocked any possible change of my initial pilgrimage. Every table was taken, drive thru was a mad house, quickly approached the counter and ordered 20 castles with cheese. In under 5 mins my burgers where served up. With little ability to ignore the growing aroma from the bag on the passenger seat....I dig in, fingers first, slid a few out. I have to say, the softness of the bun, the slim patty with the onions and cheese was so flavorful, i cant imagine myself enjoying it much more now, than i did when i was a kid. read more
