This White Castle is consistently good. I have went here for over 15 years. Employees in that time rarelyade any mistakes or forgot food etc. You either love sliders or you don't. White Castle as a chain is consistently at the top of the cleanliness ratings for chain restaurants. Unless your a hater you can't say much bad about the cCastle! read more

If you love greasy burgers, with sauteed onions, then this is the place for you! If your not familiar with White Castle, the burgers are really small... about four make up a regular sized burger. Many of the major food chains like TGIF, AppleBee's and Chilies have added bite sized burgers to their appetizer menu and I've seen this as a copy of White Castle, which has been around for decades. There is no flame cooked burgers here. For it is just one large griddle where the burgers are cooked in a pool of grease along with finely chopped, onions. Hmmm... hmmmm. The fries are okay, nothing special and they do have some chicken option, but I've never had that so can't comment on how good the chick is. But, the burgers... well, they are really good and I personally get the 10 pack! As greasy as they are they go down real quick and leave your tummy pleased. (warning... if your a health food nut, don't come here, for you'll be greatly offended.) read more

It's a White Castle and you get what you expect. Hot sliders at a reasonable price, quickly. Not in the area too often so these are a rare treat. Even my wife enjoyed them and she doesn't normally want them. read more

Very good. Clean and friendly inside. I had the chicken slider and fries and Chris had the turkey apple butter sandwich he loved it and he tried the waffle egg one too that looked good he said it was yummy. And the sweet man gave us free drinks. Very nice read more

A favorite of my family when where in gurnee. Not just white castle but this location. There always friendly and outgoing. The food is always hot and fresh they repeat your order to make sure its done right and if there is a issue they go out of there way to make it right. The restaurant is clean and well stocked the washrooms are kept spotless which is a plus read more

White Castle is the epitome of human civilization. Having a White Castle nearby is one of the few reasons why I would want to move back to Illinois. In fact, every time I visit my family/friends in the Chicago-land area, I always have to insist that we get a crave case for some late night feasting. Nothing spells class like eating burgers out of a briefcase like contraption. Honestly, you can't get a better value than the 30 slyders you get for the reasonable price of about 15 bucks. The burger/sliders are, according to common folklore, steamed, which just adds to the mystique that is White Castle. Make sure you eat the burgers while theyre still hot and fresh, as after they cool down, they definitely dont taste as good. Anyways, to sum it up, if you want a high-class meal, definitely hit up this White Castle. Ive never been disappointed by coming here. oh yea...youll have diarrhea the next day read more

Just like I remembered used to have sliders all the time. It's be nice if they opened one up in Houston!! read more

White Castle - Just like I remember them 25 years ago-yum. Onion rings were real. - Burgers Near Me - Gurnee, Illinois

Well, it actually happened! I was transported back to my teens when I walked into this beloved American institution that is otherwise known as The Porcelain Palace. The one that I frequented in my teens is located at 95th & South Cicero Ave. in Oak Lawn, IL, where I, fueled by adolescent peer pressure and the reckless bravery that four warm tall boy Old Styles or Mad Dog 20/20 rendered, dared to routinely order "sliders", or "gut grenades", or "hurl burgers". Upon my doing so, my buddies and I would cackle at the boxy, middle-aged, hair-netted burger matrons' expressions of disbelief, which now older, I would much more accurately read as their fair and reasonable disbelief that yet "another drunk punk, who thinks that he's the next Don Rickles would find what he just did was funny. ::: Does his mother know what a no good hoodlum putz she's raising? :::" Answer: Thanks be to God my sainted mother never caught me ... or, maybe she never let on that she knew what my buddies and I were up to on our Friday night ventures. Gurnee's 'modern' White Castle is much larger, is constructed with remarkably less stainless steel and tile, and features many more colors beyond the traditional white and blue. The most striking change is customer-friendly waist-high counter tops in place of the old shoulder-high variety. Wonderful! The burger matrons are so much more friendly these days, too! (Then again, I did politely order "White Castle burgers, please", and offered my "Thank you" when I retrieved my order. My buddies would be sooo disappointed.) My sliders tasted as I remembered. Well, to be completely honest, I could only guess that they did, since I was sober this time. However, I can share with absolute certainty that my burgers tasted the same after I ate them ... again, and again, and again, as my middle-aged digestive system repeatedly recycled their flavor for the next several hours. Beyond digestive distress, my visit did yield a rather harsh lesson: Like White Castle has over the past few decades, I too have endured drastic changes. (But unlike White Castle I am not as colorful?) Anyway, I issue four stars, because I definitely am a fan regardless of what my gut may have to say about it, and in spite of what it did to me. read more

They have really friendly service and good hospitality. I really enjoy the music and the man at the register was really nice and our food was served quickly and the food was good and fresh. read more

Childhood memories. We would stop here on the way to the Indy 500 I. Our big Winnebago Indian mobile home! We had a big family, 8 kids and momma and daddy so traveling was fun in a mobile home! read more

these little sliders are tasty! the frozen ones don't compare. definitely buy a crave case if you have a large party or a group of people back home want to try it. read more

I am appalled at the slow motion drive through. I was in line for 10 minutes. I will not stand for this. Somebody better get fired.

Staff was very friendly. Prices were good. Wait-time was appropriate. Food was hot. We ordered the normal sliders, a chicken and waffle sandwich, fries, and drinks. Didn't like the chicken and waffle sandwich. Typical White Castle. read more

It's a White Castle, what more needs to be said. There were a couple of "ladies" there who may or may not have had questionable reputations, Either way, they food was as good as can be expected. The chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick was really good though and for 99 cents you can't beat it! It was just the right amount too. read more

The food is fun and pretty good. The small sandwiches are cool if you can't make up your mind and want two sliders, and two chicken ring sandwiches, or 2 fish, one slider and one chicken patty sandwich. They have Coke Zero which is a plus for me. The drive thru experience was pretty bad. The order taker asked me if I wanted jalapenos with my fruit punch, and then the food order was completely wrong when we got to the window, too. She was very nice, but perhaps not a skilled multi-tasker. Dine-In and you will leave, a happy customer. read more

I've had better. Wanted to taste White Castle so it could be crossed off my list. Decided to come here 2 days before heading back home to the West Coast. Burgers were good. I saw how they were cooked on the Food Network years ago where they have holes in the small burgers and steam them then stick onions on top then its all put on a small little bun with pickles. French fries were gross. I don't like crinkle cut fries. Also tasted onion rings which actually were good and the chicken rings which were good also. I'm from California and there are so many more burger options and maybe I was just comparing these slider like burgers to the ones I'm used too. Don't get me wrong, White Castle burgers are good, but not good enough to go out of my way if I had a burger craving. read more

Went here on Friday night with my girlfriend. The service was exceptional! The guy working the cash register was polite and friendly. The staff was great and food was good. This white castle is an amazing location! read more

I miss White Castle so much. The last time I was there was a trip to NYC a few years ago. There's nothing like being blocked up and clearing it out with a bag of sliders. read more

Sliders. You know what it is. Cheese, soggy inhalable buns, credit card thickness patty grilled in onions, pickle and mustard. This is the most consistent white Castle around. I recommend you stuff your face and reap the consequences later. Quality food at 130am and friendly workers. read more

Went to this White Castle twice and it was just as wonderful, both times! Got a souvenir glass that says 95 years and a souvenir large drink cup. read more

I saw an unsanitary condition at White Castle in Waukegan, and I wrote headquarters. They send me a letter to give to this nasty place for-free food, that had my name, address and that I had complained. They were to keep the letter in exchange for the "free" food. lol I tore up the letter and I have never gone into the Greenbay/Belvedare store EVER AGAIN. The prep counter was NASTY where they were fixing the sliders, and they never cleaned it off after doing many batches.. The onions were all over the counter, and they pit more sadwiches up there for the longest, with those old onions. Watch the area, where they are fixing your sliders!!! You could get deathly sick from those old stale onions. I watched and I left, and wrote the main company! read more

Being from the south I've never had white castle before so we tried it one nite while in town and everyone compares it to Krystal, but I don't really see the comparison. Yeah- they may look similar but White Castle tastes much better. We also had great service at the drive thru. We aren't used to fast food employees providing much of anything down south- so it was refreshing to see someone actually hustle. read more

My first visit to WC in Gurnee, IL from Arizona was wonderful. Matt and Sam were very professional and very friendly and made my dining experience well worth it. I had four sliders with cheese and bacon, very tasty! I will be back as often as possible. read more

i went to chicago the other weekend. our flight came in at around 10pm and we got into gurnee at around midnight or so. we were starving and was going to stop by taco bell for something to eat. suddenly, we pass by a little white building.. it's white castle!!! a special mid west treat because we don't have them here in cali!! i swear i saw a bright light and heard bells!! we got the 10 sliders meal with 5 jalapeno cheeseburger sliders. my mouth is watering just typing this! yes, ladies and gentlemen.. white castle is as good as harold and kumar make it out to be! it was so tasty and amazing!! they have crinkle cut fries too! the jalapeno sliders were my favorite with just the right amount of kick.. i can't wait to go back to get another fix of those delicious, greasy, melt-in-your-mouth fantastic sliders!!! read more

Love the burgers and the friendly service, not the inaccurate order filling. The last two times we went we ordered 5 jalapeño sliders and 5 ghost pepper sliders. We actually received 5 ghost pepper sliders (or perhaps they were jalapeño with ghost pepper stickers on the boxes) and 5 cheese sliders with jalapeño stickers on the boxes. The first time the cheese sliders had no pickle so we just thought they were really mild... but the second time they had the disgusting pickles and that was the last straw. Both times the supposedly jalapeño sliders had yellow cheese. This should have tipped us off right away as the jalapeño cheese is supposed to be white but, we don't go all that often and had forgotten until I looked it up on their website. So they either need to pay more attention to detail or communicate with us that they are out of the cheese we ordered instead of trying to pass off gross American cheese. Unfortunately, both times were drive thru visits. By the time I drive all the way home there is no way I'm driving back... and they probably figure that about most drive thru orders. Not good business practice. And the stuff is not cheap either... so I expect to get what I pay for. Thoroughly check before you drive away! read more

i remembered going here everytime we went to gurnee mills. now that im living in cali, i miss the hell out of a fresh batch of sliders and krinkly fries. read more

I ordered from Uber eats last night. I made the mistake of forgetting to ask for sauce in the app so I had to call to ask. A man I believe named Richard answered the phone and was immediately very nice and customer first customer focused. I know that because he did not rush me on my phone call but later my Uber driver said they were a bit short staffed but he gave me undivided attention, I asked if they had bbq or honey mustard and he delightfully informed me they had both, I asked for 2 of each and he said he would make sure to take care of that for me, before parting ways he asked if there was anything else at all he could help me with tonight, I said no but thank you vincent, Wished him a good night and hung up. I felt taken care of even thought it was such a small matter. I get my food(all of which was cooked perfectly), I find I think it was 3 of each. Vincent thank you for the great service! read more

I am from California and the only way I can get a White Castle burger is from the frozen food aisle at the supermarket. However, since we were in Chicago, my family and I decided to try a variety of White Castle burgers made fresh from the grill. We ordered different sorts of burgers, fries, chicken rings, and shakes. I had the original burger, which it tasted like the frozen ones from the supermarket (that was a disappointment), I also had the grilled chicken breast burger, it was too dry, I sampled the bacon burger from my sis and it tasted okay, I also had the chicken rings and that was my favorite out of all I've had tried. The vanilla shake was good too. My brother's gf tried their sweet potato fries and she did not enjoyed it because it was not sweet at all. Besides the food, the service was good. We got our order fast and easy. I will probably go back there for their chicken rings! read more

You know you're in for a bad time, when you're disgusted in yourself for even considering eating at this steaming, soggy turd otherwise know as White Castle. Well as you can probably tell by this review, I feel disgusted in myself because I took that walk of shame and sadness to the front door of shit castle. As I opened the gates of food hell, I was knocked back by a smell similar to sticking your nose into the anal cavity of a cow with a side order of skunk semen. I of course powered through this cloud because I was feeling extra suicidal today, only to be met with the worst predicament know to man... What to order from this trash heap of a menu. Seriously I think a blind homeless guy who is mentally handicapped could have made a more appetizing looking Slider (otherwise know as a Tiny Burger). After a long depressing process, I decided to order the seasonal sampler, which would be a decision I would soon regret. As i sat waiting for the pile of fecal matter that was just ordered, I began to reflect on all the poor choices that had led me to this very moment in time. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, my "food" arrived, and it looked terrible. So bad in fact, that I went temporarily blind from the mere sight of what can only be described as actual crap, oozing despair all over the bun. Upon further inspection, I noticed that this slimy slop appeared to be moving on its own. Fearing for my life, I began to tremble uncomfortably... One could say I was having a food induced seizure. Luckily my friend was able to pull me out of this state of fear that I had found myself in. With a wave of bravery that had just wash over me, I decided to take the first bite, a bite that would change my life forever. I can't tell you when exactly it happened, weather it was right before or at the exact moment this goop touch my tongue, but I had the most sudden and overwhelming urge to jump off the highest of cliffs. I probably would have acted upon these feelings but my friend was doing some sort of modified worm dance on the ground in front of me, which I soon realized was just the food attacking his nervous system. After watching him skip across the floor for a few minutes he finally stopped, out of breath but still alive (probably with a considerable amount of brain damage). After witnessing this occurrence, I contemplated weather I should stop and take him to the ER, but I decided to be a man and finish what had been started, much to my dismay. Every passing moment, bite after bite, I powered through, until finally I was finished. I blacked out shortly after due to the sheer amount of guano that had just slipped down my poor throat, like a slip and slide without the water, and crash landed in my weary stomach. I woke up several hours later, lying in my bed without a single article of clothing on. Now I don't know for sure, but eye witness accounts say they saw two men (matching our exact description) running away from White Castle completely naked, screaming in horror. Many witnesses say they saw an other-worldly cloud chasing those two men out of the wretched establishment. Many believe it's the tormented souls of those who dare eat there, but there is no scientific evidence supporting this claim only the testimonies of those who were there... Governor, if you are reading this, please for the love of all that is Holy, put and end to this tragic and foul place. End it before it is to late read more

Went there to purchase food. I used a new credit card that has never been used. Fifteen days later had $170 charge in ten dollar purchases from Starbucks. I had only used the card at White Castle. The card is now cancelled. read more
