    Bucket list accomplished
    Shantel K.

    The staff was great . Food was wonderful. This was a bucket list for me. The food was great and beyond expectations and the staff were super friendly / such a nostalgic visit

    Killer Sauce!!

    I am an absolute sucker for the double cheese sliders. I love these silly, tiny square burgers smothered in cheese and onions on a steamed bun. Oh and a pickle slice too. For this location near Gurnee Mills you can have virtually any kind of restaurant you desire but I always pick White Castle. It's a sickness and I know it, but admitting it is part of the recovery right? LOL. For as many times as I have been here I never knew about the wonderful Zesty Zing Sauce! Its the best one in the fast food world and works great on the krinkle cut fries. Now another reason to gouge myself at a White Castle.

    DOUBLE CHEESE SLIDER COMBO
    Jennie M.

    Quick order via the drive thru, didn't have to wait forever like other locations. The double cheese burgers were cooked perfectly. There is just something about these burgers & onions. It works! The onions practically melt in your mouth, no overwhelming onion flavor. Just do it! The fries are nice and crisp!

    Manager performing Deep fryer maintenance during lunch rush with customers waiting. It was 12:30 pm.

    Service here is horrible. I came here for lunch. There was 1 customer waiting for her order to be filled. Being the only customer at the counter, I thought the order taking would be quick. I was wrong. The manager was behind the counter doing maintenance on one of the deep fryers. Seriously? At 12:30 pm arguably peak lunch rush time fryer maintenance should have been done during off peak time. The drive thru was being slammed with cars. Other customers started to accumulate behind me. Several ended up leaving because of the lack of service. The manager just kept filtering the deep fryer, Not attending to the customers as if we weren't there. Instead, he yelled at an employee that was on their break to handle the front line customers. Finally, my order was taken. Total wait time from when I walked in to getting my order served was 30 minutes. One of the other customers that came after had mobile or online order that was large. The manager lectured that customer to expect longer wait time with an order of that size even though this was placed on electronically. How's is that the customer's fault. This manager hasn't a clue to customer service. This is the only White Castle that I experienced such crap service. This location sucks. If crap service is what you desire, this White Castle is for you. Skip this place.

    Original Sliders (with Cheese) combo meal
    Wendy L.

    I really think Harold & Kumar our White Castle on the map. I had never heard of them before nor did I know they were sold in the freezer section -- obviously, I don't do a lot of frozen foods. Well, when I was in Gurnee, I knew I had to check this out and see if I liked it. The size of the sliders were like King's Hawaiian Rolls. At first bite, I thought it was pretty good. The bun was slightly toasted and the cheese enveloped the patty. Overall, pretty good. Not the best but better than what I expected. And I'm sure it's much better than eating one from the frozen section. Thanks, Harold & Kumar, for the rec! So glad I didn't see Freakshow in the are! :)

    See all

Didn't much care for the cheese sauce open and all over items and inside of the bag. All napkins I grabbed was used to clean my hands and the other items wrappers in the bag. But my mom and sisters order was a whole other story. They ordered before me. They ordered two chicago sytle hot dog meals with onion rings and my sister stood there waiting for a good 15 minutes. Until my mom went up there. Like this order was easy enough, what happen. At one point my sister was the last person standing there. No one asked if she needed help or got her order. We all get busy, but ... Ultimately the food was delicious. The ambiance was nice. The facility was clean. Wish I could find the name of the young man who was the cashier for my order who also was cleaning up by the condiments and caring for the trash. He needs to be promoted to a lead!

He arrived swiftly, but the FOOD was already COLD and the shakes MELTED. If a business cannot handle a lunch rush or just manage internal logistics effectively, they need to either restaff or reconsider being in operation. Adding to it, my combo was supposed to be dipped, but AGAIN it was merely sprinkled. I really hope the Portillo's in the city aren't as bad as the one in Gurnee has consistently been.

The service is mostly non existent because they use kiosks to order. The person making shakes seemed quick but not sure how easy it would be to find a person to help if it was needed. The restaurant wasn't clean. Our table seemed to have been wiped down at some point because it had streaks on it. But also crumbs of who knows what. The sticky floor just added to the feeling of things. Food came out relatively quickly - my burger was so small that I almost couldn't find it in the bun... fries were tasty though - I guess that beef tallow works. I would not stop back here unless it was a food emergency... also, the parking lot is a mess. It's basically one way into a hotel parking lot or drive through. Spots are tight and multiple people took up 2 spots so it's ridiculous to park there.

I just came fro Gurnee Mills Mall since I had Martin Luther King day off and just to go window shopping. At first, I was unsure if Steak n Shake was open because the logo was taken down so I called them while I was at the mall since it was very cold on Martin Luther King's Day 2026. Well,since there's no live cashier to take your order like the other fast food chains, you have to order it on a kiosk exclusively. Unfortunately one of the kiosks which was credit only was not working correctly I'm glad it did not take payments so I went to another kiosks to order the same thing that I wanted. I ended up getting the eggnog milkshake which is exclusive for the winter season specially with Christmas holiday over. I ordered it with extra whipped cream and cherries. It was delicious. My milkshake came out first then my other order and I would have thought they would have brought it or called me at the same time with my triple cheese burger and my medium size Tallow fries. The steak triple patty cheeseburger was good it wasn't a "wow" good but it was good. Now I do taste the difference using tallow. It doesn't seem as greasy and it makes the french fries more rich in flavor. The only thing is Steak n Shake makes their fries similar to McDonald's on how they slice them. They're not thick fries or medium cut fries. One of the reasons is because I was curious how tallow tasted like. It actually is pretty good if that's how they used to make or cook french fries back in the 1950s and earlier. The reason why three stars is there's no more cashier. You have to exclusively order on the kiosk and one of the kiosks was not working properly for credit card. It took 5 minutes and I wasn't sure hopefully it did not process on the first kiosk which I thought was working. The second kiosk which says cash and credit is the one I use and it took my order. There's nobody there to help you which is what I don't like to give advice in regards to a cashier. That was the same experience I had at the Shake n Steak in Rosemont, Illinois two years ago. Yes, their food is good but their customer service seems cold or unenthusiastic. It's funny and ironic that under The entry foyer they show the staff smiling and wearing a uniform but in reality they're not even dressed with a tuxedo tie and short sleeve shirt with the CEO manager. Also they were out of napkins tonight. I had to wait and tell their staff but they seem very busy. Likewise, with the kiosk. Again the food is decently good with the new cooking the tallow fries but the customer service it's just really something that needs improvenent again.Ambience was busy in the beginning but quiet down after I walked in. Especially with the FDA implementing that vegetable oil is bad to fry french fries which is somewhat true but they could have used olive oil instead of tallow to fry french fries
