I would give it no stars if I could how do you have 3 people working on the grill and no one taking orders! One of the female workers looked at us saw we were waiting to order and smirked and walked over to the grill me and my husband looked at each other and walked right out we dont waste or dollar votes on nonsense or bigotry! How can someone with a manager uniform walk in from the back not be on point to ensure great customer service and attention she didn't bother to ask if we were taken care of, they were not busy either. read more

Terrible service! I ordered ahead online for pickup, and they only started making the order once I checked in at the front. It took almost 10 minutes to prepare a small meal for 2 people that I expected to be ready to pickup when we arrived. read more

ALWAYS go there after work. Recently the Milkshake machine has been shut down by 10 pm even though they're open 24/7. Refuse to go back until they fix this issue. Nobody wants late night White Castle with no ice cream or milkshakes read more

Food is good, no really ambience to speak of. It's a fast food restaurant and his white Castle the service like most white castles is very slow but most people who go here know what they're in for and they're willing to wait. read more

Love the sausage sandwiches here for breakfast. The server provided my order quickly after I ordered it and it was fresh and hot. The restaurant was clean and the food being cooked smelled delicious. Will be back. read more

All the 1 star reviews are accurate this location has the worst service I've ever experienced. Waited almost an hour for my order and with rude customer service. It's like they didn't start cooking anyone's meal until they got rid of the line of people waiting. Not to mention the lobby was just gross like they haven't cleaned in here for the longest. read more

Always too slow. I don't understand why they are always slow even when they dont have customers

What trip to New Jersey is complete without going to The Castle. To my surprise the customer service was excellent and we are in Newark!!! Service was quick. Read the reviews about the taste and what it does to your stomach..... It's a .96 cent fast food slider....what do you expect?! And it does a number on everyone's stomach, it's fast food, that's what happens. Just don't eat it everyday. Only suggestion it to have a covering at the drive thru window. The inside of my car got pretty wet with the heavy rain that day.. read more

This location has got to be the worst White Castle I've ever been to! The location is not great already and doesn't seem like a safe neighborhood-but my friends and I were hungry and decided to grab lunch here. Immediately when I walk in, there is a glass window between customers and the staff behind the counter! The place is a small empy room space and only a few stools to sit along the wall--but NO tables or regular chairs. There are no condiments, napkins, or silverware that are out for us to grab (we had to ask the cashier--also, service was horrendous). For food, we ordered a bunch of chicken rings, original sliders, fries, and fried pickles--the food was mediocre--the chicken rings were decent but the sliders were awful--the meat tasted terrible and the bread was too soggy. To end the experience, the bathroom had no soap, so we couldn't properly wash our hands! I would never come back here. read more

This White Castle never closes. Due this White Castle's admittedly-shady location and lack of seating (they only have counter seating, and little of it), I suggest daytime visits. Unless you're a vegetarian, there's no reason you shouldn't come here. You're here for their sliders, and all their self-contained goodness. For the first time, I tried one of the slider variants - the cheeseburger slider - which unfortunately wasn't very good, as the cheese overpowers the meat. Also for the first time, I had their onion rings, which weren't bad at all. Like a Thai hooker, White Castle is cheap yet alluring depending on what you're on. At Newark on a layover? Take a cab to this White Castle, and use that drive-thru! read more

Nearly midnight and snow everywhere. All shops closed 'cept for wc and jersey fried chicken there. No hankering for fried or pizza. So here I sit in the lot of blanco casa. Maybe it's the cold, maybe the hunger... 10 hot and fresh sliders could wait no longer. No mere human bites were taken. No crumbs or sauce forsaken. Temporarily satisfied at this little fort while I wait for my wife stuck at the airport. read more

If this is what White Castle is all about, I never want it again. My trip to this WC was my first ever. Being from the south where there are no WC's, I was looking forward to my visit here. After waiting in line for 20-30 min, I finally got my food. I only ordered a few classic sliders and onion rings but everything was disgusting. For starters, there was no trace of an onion in the onion rings. It was just onion tasting dough. Secondly, the classic burger sliders they're known for taste like a knock-off greasy version of a McDonald's burger. Their burger was so greasy that the bread was hella soggy. I couldn't finish the food and threw it away. I may try a White Castle at a different location but I definitely don't recommend this one. read more

White Castle - Menu - Fast Food Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

The fish nuggets were burnt and overcooked. When asked for fresh ones, they were worse than the first. They were delivered by a worker with dirty greasy gloves on and the grease was all over the bag and the fish nugget container. Yuck. read more

I happen to be passing by and I had this craving for White Castle burgers. You see I grew up on them. Having a White Castle down the street from my old house. It's been many, many years since I had (aka nickname a rat burger.) I say this with lots of love. My favorite is the original burger no cheese on them, onion rings and an orange soda. For some strange reason I still can't eat a lot of these things. From my 1st bite it brought back so many fond memories.White Castle burgers are very tasty. You see they are steamed with onions, and the buns are on top of the burgers. These burgers are slider size, but pack a big punch especially if you down a lot of them. They are also know for making good fresh coffee. Now I see they sell keurig k-cups. The staff is very friendly. I ate there and found the place to be very clean and neat. If u choose to eat in there is a free parking lot. WC has a drive thru window which is open late. Some WC's are open 24 hours. The menu has changed over the years with many new and interesting items added like a srirache chicken sandwich and Waffle chicken sandwich w/ bacon, and a breakfast menu. It was great sampling the burgers from my childhood. ( I also have a recipe for stuffing made from these burgers.....It's very unique.) I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once. read more

Our sliders were good, but the service was pathetic. We were handed our food, but no drinks. I had to go back and ask for napkins, and straws. A guy beside of me was given a vanilla milkshake, and wasn't given a straw either. Two bums asked us for food/money before we got our order. read more

***I have not been to a White Castle in a long time, but I do not remember them being this bad; the sliders were really greasy and thus kind of disgusting (I personally feel the quality and preparation here is noticeably worse the ones you can prepare yourself from your grocery store's freezer aisle); the crinkle cut fries were not that hot, very limp and translucent from all the grease; this store is located in a rather rundown area of Newark and features two negatives that you might not experience at most other White Castle locations (the restaurant's dining room reeked of cigarette smoke and panhandling occurs inside the restaurant); service was pleasant though I felt like it was hard to communicate with the employees through the thick and potentially needed security glass separating the cashiers/kitchen from guests in the dining area*** Like almost all standalone fast food restaurants, this White Castle has its own free parking lot and it is easy finding an open space. read more

I will never order from this White Castle again they horrible customer service and they give you cold food when ordering with the apps

The food was stale and nasty. There is too many onions. the burgers taste like poop I won't recommend

OK, so what if it's still a novelty when I pass through the NJ-NY area and I want to stop at White Castle because of Harold and Kumar. The fact is their burgers are still tasty little treats that are different than your average fare at the other fast burger joints. This particular location is awesome because it come complete with BR (bullet resistant) glass between the servers and customers. To use the bathrooms, you have to be buzzed in! The whole place is a little dirtier than I'd like it but all in all, it's not nasty. My wingman and I ordered a feast fit for a king in his castle (ok, sorry for the metaphor). We got a 10 pack sliders with cheese, 2 onion rings, 1 clam sack, 1 fish nibblers, 1 shrimp nibblers, and cokes---all for $32. We finished everything except for 1 order of onion rings...yes either because it was so tasty or because we are piglets. Enjoyed our lunch time visit, thanks and will come again! read more

Last night I went to this establishment and the person inside there never told me that it wasn't 24 hours anymore. Not to mention my order was completely wrong and they still charged my card. The food attendant also had a disgusting attitude. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! read more

It's been around as long as I been born and more it's just all around a quick reasonably priced fast food joint. I can't get in Georgia where I am now but every time I go back home to NJ this is one of my favorite places to visit. read more

Lol @ the attitude the employees have when they take your order. I heard that you have to try White Castle if you have a chance in the east coast, because it's like having In n Out in the west coast. So I did try it and was actually pretty impressed. I thought it was cool that they gave small burgers instead of just one big one. I would definitely give it a shot to try the food because I thought it was something, the only con I had with this place was just the employees attitude. read more

My first time trying white castle's veggie burger "Dr. Praeger's veggie burger that contains carrots, onions, string beans, soybeans, zucchini, peas, broccoli, corn, spinach, red pepper, garlic and parsley." I enjoyed it and the vibe was real similar to the traditional. This location has been around forever and i was delighted to see the service was really good. read more

Okay, first of all, If you're not a White Castle type of person, it's not gonna matter what I say. Secondly, if you ARE a White Castle type of person, you should listen closely. This White Castle location serves the best food of any location, PERIOD. I have no idea why this is, but I've just resigned myself to living with this fact. I took off a star because you get served MUCH attitude by the employees if you stand there hemming and hawing over the menu, but I understand their pain. It's White Castle, for cryin' out loud. Side note: their recent decision to start calling the burgers sliders/slyders, is womp womp. For a fatty good time, I'd recommend the double cheese burgers, and chocolate shake. *burp* read more

Let's get the facts correct right off the bat. I love White Castle. Always have, always will. The sliders at this place were, well, slider heaven. It was the inside and the atmosphere that totally turned me off. The soda dispenser in the dining area was broken, the condiment/napkin/lid holder was empty. Nothing. Not even a sad old package of mustard from 1997. Additionally, 3 homeless people came in and bothered myself and other customers. They were in the restaurant for a good 20 mins talking to anyone they could see and management did nothing to shoo them out. Again, the food=smiles. The atmosphere=total third world. read more

Yeuuuum. The frozen stuff in CA does not cut it. Came to NJ for a family wedding. Eveytime I am here, I try to make it a point to eat White Castle. My uncle asked if we, the family, wanted White Castle. Why should he ask anyways? He knows what the answer is always. He asked how many? I said...umm..200. And 200 burgers we got, arrived piping hot at 7AM to the house via my uncle. So spoiled we are. I can only eat 4, but my other family members are pigs. This is a must! Happy eating! =) read more

C'mon now, it's White Castle. It's small cheap sliders, crinkle cut fries, and soda. You can only go wrong if you're expectations are inappropriately set like some douchebag that has no clue what you're getting into. Considering I was hungover from a wedding from the night before, driving down the NJ Turnpike back to DC, this was the cure, and it powered what would be 6 more hours of driving hell. I'd call that a win folks. read more

If I could give this location (Elizabethtown, NJ) negative stars I would. We ordered through the whitecastle app, and we were given a time the order would be ready. Not only was the order not ready, but six other customers who ordered at the window got their orders long before we did. It took them 20 minutes past the pickup time before we were called, then the clerk put a receipt on front of me and told me to sign that we picked up the order without actually giving me the food. When I didn't sign the clerk raised her voice and told me again to sign. I told her I would sign when I got the food. She still did not give me the food and told me to sign again. I reiterated that I would sign after I was satisfied that my order was correct. She then gave me half the order, and I had to ask where the rest of it was before she handed over the remaining bag. While I was there, a customer dumped hot coffee all over his arms when he went to pick it up from the counter. He was visibly surprised and in pain, but the clerks ignored him and one went to mop up the spill. Not one checked to make sure the customer was ok or write up an incident report. I will most assuredly never stop at that store again. read more

This is definitely my least favorite White Castle. It's always very busy and very crowded. Also it's not in the best neighborhood . It's especially crowded during the late nights on the weekends. The employees can be very rude so brace yourself! read more

Not the best White Castle in the area. The food preparation is sub par. Half of the time I have been here the burgers taste like the freezer and I don't like the attitude of the workers. The one on Lyons Ave is better. read more

I'm not sure what people expect when they go to White Castle, so I can't understand the low reviews. I grew up with these burgers and have a serious addiction to them that immediately has to be satiated as soon as I come home to NJ. The service is quick, they rarely mess up an order, and the food is usually hot. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case with my fries :( I digress, White Castle is a regional favorite and not to be consumed with quality in mind. Come here with an open heart and, keep in mind, this is FAST FOOD. read more

For over 85 years, there has been a White Castle at this very corner, but the present building is only about 3 years old. So it's very new and shiny and bright and clean looking, which is nice. I dont really know my way around Newark very well, but yet I know precisely how to get off of Interstate-78 and find this 307 Elizabeth Avenue location. That says something about me, and I'm pretty sure it's not positive in a healthy way given the fact that I typically put down six of these 140 calorie, 7 grams of fat burgers. For those scoring at home, that's an artery clogging, 840 calorie, 42 grams of fat cardiovascular nightmare of a meal. For those still not deterred, it's only about 2 minutes off the interstate. read more

I have been to 5 white castles in my day. 2 or 3, including this one, have been sub-par. after looking around, this one wasn't too far off my route and seemed to be reviewed higher than other locations. this white castle is not in a good part of NJ whatsoever, just a heads up. the dudes that worked there were cool. nothing stood out, but the fries were not overdone, didnt taste like they'd been sitting there, were certainly not oversalted, or too greasy. they were perfect, especially for loading up with ketchup. and i couldn't feel a stomach ache coming with every bite. the burgers, however, from here i cannot say the same. i came at about 4am on my way to Maryland from Boston, which is usually when i arrive at most of the white castles i've gone to. the first and best white castle i had, i thought, was in linden. however last year i went to linden to find this location and ended up at a different one, and searched and could not find another white castle in linden... so apparently i am going to have to do some research. this is the one location that was not only the best but i also didnt get a stomach ache from. i would recommend the linden location over this one, however i still cannot seem to find that one location that i first went to which was far better than all of the others. read more

Admittedly, I only came to try White Castle because of Harold and Kumar, and my idea of White Castle may have been skewed by the movie... but this is probably the most disgusting thing I have ever ingested. I got a bacon cheeseburger slider and a jalepeno slider, couldn't tell which was which, both were blobs of sloppy mess with mushy bread, grey meat, and melted plastic for cheese... maybe it was just this location? I don't know, can't imagine anyone wanting to eat this mess. In-n-Out for the win forever! read more

Inspired to try this place after watching the first "Harold and Kumar goes to White Castle" many years ago I had such HIGH expectation, but was disappointed miserably. Upon arrival, I noticed the building exterior looked like a restaurant that belongs in a ghetto. After going inside seeing the bullet proof order window (like at a bank), I was in the ghetto. We ordered a 20 burger combo which included fries and chicken tenders. Also I added 3 additional jalapeno burgers. I would applaud the employee for his swiftness in applying sauce and packaging each burger individually, but aside from that it was a HUGE UPSET! It was good, but not great. The grilled onion and sauce on that tiny burger was good, but the buns tasted like they were fresh out of the microwave. I think I will give it another try at another location. read more

Amazingggg!! My friend picked this place for breakfast. I first I was bumbed cause I wanted eggs and pancakes. But man this place is sooo food. I got the chicken sliders mmmmmmmmmm. Food came out fast and hot! Looove it. The fries weren't super amazing. But not nasty. read more

I just tried the new impossible slider and it's incredible how delicious it is, taste just like real meat! Got mine without cheese and it's still fantastic! read more

I stopped into White Castle for a quick bite. I saw the impossible burger and had to try it. I was told it will take 5-8 minutes. So much for a quick bite but I was intrigued so I decided it was worth the wait. I noticed they had ghost pepper cheese as an option so I went for it. After my wait I was sure I was going to be disappointed. Nope! This was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. I ordered a bunch more to take home to share with the family. I wish we had White Castle here in the Philly area. If you find yourself near a White Castle you must stop in and try these burgers... read more
