Go figure that the best thing here is no longer the original white Castle burger, but now the beyond slider. It was as if they actually put time into preparing it and making sure the sandwich was puffed up and appealing instead of squished and looking sad. Absolutely avoid the chicken and waffles sandwich, completely tasted like a corn dog which is rather spectacular. Get the beyond slider, avoid chicken and waffles, white Castle sliders are still what your expecting them to be. read more

White Castle - Rectum Rockets - Fast Food Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

Don't live near a White Castle but when I go to Chicago I make sure I stop at Michigan City White Castle! Went there on Tuesday and had the most pleasant expierence at the drive thru I have ever had in my life. The lady at the drive thru was exceptionally polite and pleasant. The food was fantastic and fresh! The speedway gas station was one of the most disgusting gas stations I have ever been to but the White Castle itself was clean and presentable! I definitely recommend this place for quick fast friendly service! read more

A review of all of the reviews of this White Castle divides into two groups. Those for whom White Castle is a nostalgic memory, and those who are envountering White Castle for the first time. Group A is effusive and enthusiastic. Group B says sliders suck. Both are right. But my brother and I got 20 sliders and brought them back to the house we were renting, and they were excellent. And all were eaten and enjoyed. I found myself in Louisville recently, where I hit up a White Castle at midnight after a funeral and I was the only white person there, in a jacket and tie, and hit up the WC in michigan City during a wedding weekend. Both excellent. But thank god I don't live near one. read more

I guess we can blame Harold & Kumar on this one, but ever since I saw the movie back in 2004* I've been craving White Castle (WC). Well, here it is almost 14 years later and I finally had the opportunity while road-tripping thru the US on 80. This particular WC is located inside a gas station, which I was trying to avoid; I was hoping for a legit stand-alone spot but we got confused and ended up at this one. Oh, well... No crying about that now. I ordered up a plethora of their sliders, as well as some of these new chicken & waffle sliders they have going. Overall the burgers were garbage. However, I did like the buns quite a bit which were very reminiscent of King's Hawai'ian rolls. The meat was steamed and came out with a grayish hue, and they pretty much tasted like, well, gray. The "fried" onions on top were only fried in the academic sense, a they lay limp and lifeless atop the burgers like festering maggots. These are probably what I'd suggest we serve pederasts in prison for the rest of their lives, but I'm sure some bleeding heart would consider it "cruel and unusual." The C&W sliders too were a bit of a disappointment, as well; the waffles tasted old and the chicken was nothing special. The cheese fries were the only winners of the day, as they are my all-time favorite crinkle-cut fries, which come topped with disgustingly good Velveeta-like "cheese." The service here was surprisingly good and the prices are super cheap even by fast food standards. Do I regret coming here? Maybe. But this is one item I can check on my foodie bucket list. Special thanks to Crissa for indulging me and allowing me to ruin one of our road meals. =) *Yes for the record I know WC burgers are available in the frozen food section, but fuck that shit. If I have to explain to you why there's a difference then you need to turn in your Elite badge and go take a short walk off a long pier. read more

The food sucked ass. Service was meh. The ambiance was Crackhead status this is the place to go for tweakers.

For this being a smaller White Castle connected to a gas station, it really wasn't bad! Inside was relatively clean and had a handful of tables to sit at. The lady at the register was helpful and had a good attitude. Sadly, one of the grills was down so you could not order a few things (impossible, 1921, etc.) but what we did get was very tasty and a perfect temperature. We ordered the traditional cheese sliders, a crispy chicken slider, bacon sliders, and a chicken & waffle slider. All of them were great and we had no complaints with the actual taste of the food. Overall, not a bad White Castle at all! read more

Not a fan of White Castle burgers. There is more bun than burger andcthe meat that is there isn't tasty in the least bit. The onion rings weren't terrible, though, and the staff was fairly friendly. I would consider trying other things other than the burger but if you can't nail a burger as a burger place, I can't imagine anything on the menu being amazing. White castle is definitely a last resort place for food for me. read more

Essential Grease Bombs after a Blowout concert... nothing like going into work the next day and sharing the Ora with the coworkers.

I'm rating 4 stars based on comparison of other White Castles, Every time I come here, the people are awesome. Occasionally there is a wait and they apologize and acknowledge it. My food is always fresh, tasty and fills my "crave." I stick to the original burgers and fries. Squishy Yummy goodness. read more

I waited 20 minutes to order 2 items--an egg sandwich and a slider. The manager declined to sell the egg sandwich, because he was reportedly short staffed. He's been using this pandemic excuse for the past 2 years. I saw several employees working inside. There's no excuse for this utter laziness. If you can't do the job, just quit. read more

This White Castle served via drive-through only. Ordered the sliders without the pickles and found them flavorful and fresh. Though not flashy, the sliders proved irresistible for some reason. A strawberry shake was not-too-sweet. A good snack experience. read more

I think that I left a review before but I'll leave yet another since they have decided that they would still not refund me for the lousy experience that I had a few weeks back. I had to call their "corporate " number again to request a refund that was supposed to have happened almost a month ago. I have decided that I will also no longer give White Castle any future business due to how they have handled this situation. If only they had excellent customer service like they did when I was a kid. Thanks again to White Castle for killing my childhood by delivering horrible customer service. read more

Everyone loves the White Castle burger and it is good, but an even better sandwich they serve is their breakfast sandwiches such as the Egg, Cheese and Bacon. The egg is made to order, unlike the hockey-puck you get at other fast food chains. read more

I have a sweet spot for this joint. Tastes better after a few adult beverages, but this is one of the closest ones to West Michigan. Usually end up stopping here when coming or going to Chicago. Plus was that it is hooked to a gas station. They had some new limited time offers since my last visit including a veggie burger and a chicken and waffle burger. The veggie burger you could get honey mustard or Thai chili sauce (in packets). Burgers were way too soft and fell apart when biting into them. Don't think these will find its way back to the menu. The chicken and waffle burger was actually very good. The "bun" was the waffle and features a sweet gravy type sauce. However at $2.50, I would revert back to their sliders. Not a big chain food eater, but this is one of my favorites and probably because we don't have easy access to it. read more

My partner and I were passing through Michigan City and wanted to get some lunch. We hadn't had White Castle's in a long time and the last time we had it in Illinois it was not good. Dare we try the food at this WC? We did and it was great! My partner went inside to order. The vibe inside was really nice. The employees were nice and very efficient. We ate the food in our car. It was hot and fresh and very good. The burgers were perfect. The fries were really good and not too salty. Not time we are passing through MC, we will definitely stop here again. PS Thanks to the employees for such a welcoming vibe! Great job! read more

business hours are not relevant. drove all the way here at 9pm and place was closed for the night already. jamarquavious was getting picked up when I got there. Even when you pay people double what they deserve you can't get people to do their job. good old Michigan city never fails to disappoint. R.I.P. America read more

i had a plethora of visitors come into town last month, and being from california, they INSISTED that i take them to white castle. so i went. after every single visit to white castle, i swore to myself that i'd never go again. but then i do again. and i am forced to eat gray, mushy, "hamburgers." ughhhhh. read more

Yep, I eat their impossible slider with smoked cheddar cheese and it's the BEST. I overheard a worker verifying and emphasizing my order for accuracy with another employee and it was much appreciated. Thank you all so much for the fast, friendly, and accurate service! I also observed their cleanliness as well. read more

I have always heard about White Castle from Music to Movies. I am not sure what the allure is but the burgers are gross. The fries were.....well fries, hard to mess those up. Onion rings were good. Actually the highlight of this meal was the the Hi C orange punch drink. It reminded me of the old Orange Drink Mc.Donalds used to have in the late 70's up here in Canada. I most definitely will not eat this again... read more

That shit was good asf , never had White Castle and me and my girl got the 20 craving box wit fries and onion rings . Everything was made fresh and it was so good when you take a bite, you can see the steam or smoke or whatever it is . It's very delicious I would definitely go to White Castle again read more

I think his name is Twan? Best employee yall have. He's always so kind and persistent. When he greets us at the box I know my foods gonna be hot every time. I really hope White Castle acknowledges how good of an employee he is and takes care of him as much as he does us. read more

Growing up in Chicago, my mom would buy us White Castle a lot. I remember her ordering a huge platter which had me feeling like Wimpy from Popeye. But after moving around and away from Illinois, these were harder to find. Similarly, my husband grew up eating this in NY and when we both relocated to LA, the only way to get a sandwich was to buy it frozen from our grocery store. Now when I visit my mom and fly into ORD, I drive up to MI so I can swing by to grab White Castle at this location. I don't care what others say, I love it, and I can't wait to eat the mini square burgers again. read more

Ahhh. Who doesn't love these little burgers of awesomeness?!? So good. If only I had one closer to me. Always a place to stop on the way to Chicago as Michigan doesn't have these delicious mini burgers anymore. Only thing I would say is this little gas station White Castle needs a mini facelift! read more

Made an impulsive trip here after a good night at Four Winds Casino. Good ol' White Castle never disappointing and is always busy, even at 2:20 in the morning. Grab a 10 pack and share it with a friend. If you won the most...you pay for the order! read more

So, its two in the morning and i was hungry for a hot meal. White Castle literally was my craving. No one in line ordered my double bacon sliders. 6 hours later i regretted the experience, come to think of it its been two days, I loved it! read more

Pretty tasty food on the cheap. I will leave a decent rating becuz the staff were really nice and provided great service today!

No trip to the Greater Chicago area is complete without a trip to White Castle. Twice, I have driven way off course to this Holiest of Fast Food Grails. I never expect it to taste like my memories, but this time I had the Breakfast Sliders, and all I can say is that I cannot go the rest of my life without eating them again. Runny over easy eggies and bacon.....soft fresh slider buns....how many can you get down your neck??? But I couldn't leave without burgers either. Oh my. If you have no other reason to go to Michigan City Indiana, this is reason enough!! Oh, and the staff were awesomely friendly! read more

Fast service and simple food but I asked for no cheese and sure enough there was cheese. It was my first time trying White Castle and I'll probably still give it another shot but maybe at a different location. read more

It's the home of the original, i think, slider.....what more do you need to know. small steamed oniony burgers that you can order by the the bag full. read more

White Castle - white castle - Fast Food Near Me - Michigan City, Indiana

First White Castle experience being from the west coast we're fond of our Inn N Out so had to try this since it was the first time I saw one on our 10,000 mile road trip. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. read more

What a surprise. Friendly staff and fast. We had the veggie burgers, 2 varieties. Loved them both. We will be back. Hat tip to the cool staff :) read more

These were the worst hamburgers, I asked for everything and it tasted nasty they were soggy and they put to much sauce on them it fell off my hamburger and ruined my jacket! !!!! I will never eat there again they put way to much of that sauce all over it, and the cashier was very short with me! read more

My very first time at a white caste, from Texas, waited at speaker for 10 minutes. Guy at window looked high AF. Sliders were a big meh.

Sometimes, you just need to hit a beach and sometimes, you just need some sliders and mozzarella sticks to join you in the sand. For the people of Indiana, you can get all of that at Michigan City and it's White Castle. The building itself is fairly unassuming, considering its attached to the gas station. It is clean and the staff was friendly. The food...well, it's White Castle. The mozzi sticks were cooked to perfection: unburnt and no cheese leaking out. The cheeseburgers were the usual quality. For those of us who live in places with no White Castles or beaches, the White Castle in Michigan City is the oasis any Hoosier can ask for. read more

Attached to a Speedway and 5.4 miles off 80/90... but nothing hits the spot like a slider. :) I haven't had sliders in years, and this hit the spot! The sweet potato fries were generally disappointing (sauce was weird, too) but the iced tea was delicious. :D read more

I've treked here numerous times within a 2 year span and love it. It's always nice and warm, so soft and cheap. I have gotten the crave case on a late night run with a friend. It's worth the 40 min. drive and going on the toll road. YUM. I'm not a fan of the fries though, they're hard and crispy for crinkle cut fries. I enjoyed the onion rings. Usually I can only handle a sack of 4 or 6. I miss you... I wonder if the frozen micowable ones will do you any justice? I'm going to give it a try. read more

White Castle sells over-priced sliders. They are tasty, but they are radically over-priced. You have to be a lunatic to think that $1.00 is a fair price for the tiny amount of meat they place on their little bun. When it comes to value, they are utterly destroyed by McDonald's. When it comes to taste? Ok, perhaps they are slightly better than McD's, but nowhere near enough better to justify their ridiculous prices. There is a reason you don't see White Castle's almost anywhere. It's because (i) the business is run by morons, and (ii) no smart person would buy into their stupid business model. The chain has been reduced to operating out of gas stations because the people who run the business are idiots. read more

Unfortunately we didn't get our shakes, but they compensated us by giving us what seems to be extra large drinks and a delicious fudge dipped cheesecake desert. Which was the highlight of our meal. The onion rings weren't as I remember but the burgers were and I tried my first fish n cheese sandwich, not bad esp with hot sauce. I appreciated their smiles n service. Wish I could bring White Castle into Hagerstown Md!! Oh! And they have cream soda!! Whoa! read more

White Castle....As good as it gets at 3 am...And cheap...Been going here since my grandpa & grandma took me when I was a toddler in Hammond. I know it isn't the first thing I think of when I'm thinking of a good burger but it's in my top five and depending on how much time I have, it's ranks over Burger King and McDee's. I really like this restaurant because the last couple of times I went, I ordered from the drive thru and while waiting for my order, the attendant asked me if I'd like a drink while I waited. Nice touch!! I try to go here when I can now even though the wife only likes these when she's drinking..lol read more
