I stopped into this location recently while conducting business in Pontiac. The drive thru line had only two cars in front of me. Took me about 20+ minutes to pick up my small lunch order. It was 11:45am. The hamburgers were not like I'm used to getting from other locations. The buns were not steamed and the hamburger meat was dry on a couple of them. read more

White Castle - Just two cars in front of me and my order took over 20 minutes at 11:45 am. - Fast Food Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

Pretty poor customer service. Not much more to say. Reading the other reviews for this spot, doesn't look like I'm alone in this opinion either. read more

White Castle - Fast Food Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

This place is awful. The slowest most incompetent humans on earth. You almost have to work at it to be this awful. Every single time I convince myself to give them a shot on DoorDash the food takes 80 minutes to make. 2-3 door dashers go there then leave because they just can't wait. The food arrives cold and tastes horrible. Usually takes 2 hours start to finish. It's every time. The place is managed by simpletons with no regard for customers. My current estimated arrival is 105 minutes after order read more

Every customer that was spoken to within the 45 minutes it took to get our food this evening received positively horrendous service. All staff members were unbearably rude and moved as slowly as possible. We were told that one of the items we pre-paid for on our mobile order was out of stock and the manger refused to do a price adjustment. Over half of the options on the self-service pop machine were out of stock. Once we eventually received our food, they gave us the wrong order and told us that they gave us what we ordered. Once pressed, they picked through our bags and confirmed that they gave us the wrong food. I would not recommend that anyone frequent this establishment. This location needs an overhaul and massive corporate intervention. read more

Got the wrong order by a lot... ordered a craze case and received three soggy sliders and an order of half cooked fries that reeked of onion rings and dirty fry oil delivered. They don't care at all about what they're doing there. Definitely a no go! Never again! Worst place I've ever dealt with! read more

Well I gave these guys a couple years between reviews and they've gotten no better at all. There must be no standards at all at hiring employees at this White Castle. It's just ridiculous they can't get just the basic items right on a hamburger. I ordered a 20 pack with everything on them with extra onion. Got none with mustard some of the hamburgers had pickles, most didn't, most barely had any onion at all on any of them. If I have to drive 20 miles out of my way to go to a different White Castle from now on I will because these guys are the worst. How is this store still open? read more

White Castle - 20 pack with everything and extra onion?? Morons - Fast Food Near Me - Pontiac, Michigan

The drive thru wasn't the fastest, but the food made up for it. My 3 cheeseburgers and onion petals were hot and fresh. It was just the fix i needed coming back up north to visit from moving down south years ago. read more

You probably ask how does a White Castle get a four star rating? It's not fine dining. True it is not fine dining at all. It is the fast food I crave a couple times a year and yesterday was one of those days. I gave into my temptation and enjoyed four original White Castles and fries. The food was just the way it should be and I throughly enjoyed it. The service was very slow, but it was not the fault of the two very efficient men working. White Castle should have had a least three people working to keep up the the high volumes. These two men were taking orders, cooking and processing the orders. Not much to say about the ambiance as it is what you would expect at White Castle. If you are like me and have the White Castle Crave from time to time, this location will not disappoint you. read more

Visiting home from Nevada, I bought a large order totalling $43.00. The food that had been prepared in the fryer had a horrible after taste as the grease wasn't properly cleaned or was very old. I had planned on spending another large amount of money at that location so I could ship some back to Nevada. I'm glad I changed my mind . Shameful to show such disregard for paying customers. read more

30 minutes in the drive through?!?!?!? Never again. Avoid like the plague. Don't wast your time.

Placed an order online for pickup inside. I walked inside to get my order and was told they are drive-thru only. Pulled in the drive-thru and waited 20 minutes to get to the speaker. Gave them my name for the mobile order and pulled up to the windows (another 15-20 minutes later). I was told they did not have the new Barg's Red Creme Soda Zero, so we got something else. I ordered the drinks with no ice -- they had ice. I ordered 10 cheese sliders - 5 of them with no onion - they all had onion. They forgot the fries for my order, so I had to go inside anyway -- I wasn't waiting in that line again. The manager was very short with me and said they do not see the special instructions that are put in the app -- then why does the app ask for them? The manager refused to remake the 5 sliders with no onions. At least I did get the fries they shorted me. Also, they did have the Barg's Red Creme Soda available - it worked fine in the Freestyle machine in the dining area. The food was old and cold and the service was atrocious. read more

38 minutes for a drive through is absolutely abysmal. Need to improve exponentially and have employees that care about the customer experience. read more

Long and slow lines be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes. And don't think you can just go in to grab your food. The lobby doors will be locked due to inside parties. Orders not made properly, and after going back, my order still wasn't right. Staff is rude read more

No wonder they don't have a single 5 star rating, you have to sit in the drive thru for 20+ minutes. It's never faster than that. One time my dad and I set a timer on our phone because we knew you have to sit forever and wait for your food. It got up to 45 minutes. It was awful. The food is great, but the wait time is not worth it. read more

Not sure why the fellow Yelp nation one stars this White Castle. Sure, the somewhat small line did take forever (might want to order for lunch to eat for dinner). The end result, though, was pure White Castle amazing. Burgers were fresh, warm, and yummy! Will be back!! read more

Sad because I really enjoy their sliders. Having to wait 40+ minutes in a drive thru line. There were only two cars in front of me. I don't blame the workers, because it appears to be a process issue. Ownership, please invest in warmers or something. Process needs some improvement. read more

Arrived here 40 minutes ago. Still waiting on the food we ordered. I used to work in fast food so I have a lot of sympathy for people who work in fast food and respect, but this is just awful. A drive through should not take over half an hour read more

They are slow here, but the food is delish! For their slowness they gave me a free drink. Can't go wrong with that! I got the 30 pack crave case. It was well worth the wait. Folks in my office thought I was a hero for the day! The cheese burgers melted (slide) in our mouths! Yum! I grabbed some fries too. These cost more than one burger here. The fries are like the old Wendy's fries. Yummy-ness. The grand total was $32. Which isn't so bad. The fries cost the most. Please do try this joint as they have been improving their customer service. read more

I had an order of cheese fries and it was legit the worst I've ever had... I'm not blaming location, just think the White Castle in general sucks in their quality of food... don't waste your money here if you need to... only went here because they were open at 1:00am and I had cravings.... Otherwise... never again!! read more

The drive through takes forever but it's definitely still open! Very popular as it's the only place in the area open late.

I was willing to give it pass one time but I had time today. The restaurant picks and chooses when it wants to fulfill orders at night even though it's a 24 hour establishment. I arrive 4am before work 3 nights of the week and it's a crap shoot if I'll be served or they will pass the buck and say we are only doing door dash / uber eats orders through the intercom. Which is a lie because the day before or after at the same time I've been served. Food is fine when I get it but the laziness must be stopped. I wish it wasn't this way but it's so disheartening. Do better please. ​ read more

Plz help this location, omg. The wait is horrible. How to cook cheese sticks and one slider omg why let me understand

Waited an estimated 20 minutes for my "fast food." The speed of service for the drive thru at this location is just completely abysmal. It's not as if White Castle has a particularly expansive menu, so I find it a little inexcusable. I entered the line with only two cars ahead of me, so this was frustrating from start to finish. Outside of the service, the food was mediocre. I've had much better White Castle than this, but it was nothing terrible. It's a shame there aren't more locations peppered throughout the metro area. I had a serious White Castle craving and this is really the only nearby option for those living to the north. I'd maybe bite the bullet and drive further for a better location next time. read more

This place is out of business. Tried to go there on 11-8-2021 around 4:00 p.m. and the restaurant was closed and the drive-thru was blocked off. The lines were always long and it took sometimes 30-40 minutes to get waited on and receive your food, so I'm sure there will be lots of disappointed customers and not so disappointed customers. I enjoyed the sliders and depending on the day didn't mind waiting. I really like White Castle sliders (double cheese sliders) but bought some onion chips there and they had a chemical taste. I don't know what that was all about. I didn't notice the taste until after I had eaten a few of them. I threw them away and never purchased them again. I guess if I want White Castle sliders now I'll have to go to the nearest restaurant or buy them frozen at a nearby grocery store. read more

I'm rating the location, not necessarily the food. The ladies behind the counter are friendly. They stay busy working, but the nature of white castle always seems to be slow service. With that said, the food always comes out fresh and hot as it should be. They offered me a free soda pop for the long wait. Don't expect fast service, just good White Castle! read more

I am the saddest I have ever been in my life. All I wanted was mozzarella sticks and chicken rings. My friends and I all pulled our money together and placed a big doordash order. After waiting nearly an hour and placing a nearly $70 order everyone's food was there except mine. This feels like a personal attack. I couldn't be more disheartened by this news. Please sense prayers and good thoughts during this difficult time. Thank you. read more

Food is always cold, wrong or missing completely. Worst place to go through the drive through. It takes forever. Ordered from door dash figuring it might be better and it was the same exact issues. Never again will I get food from here. To bad they don't have any other restaurants near by. Do not recommend to anyone read more

OMG this place is terrible.y wife and I go up there at like nine pm. No one in the line, they take a few mins taking our order cuz the girl can't get it right over the speaker. Btw it's four sliders and four chicken sandwiches. That's it. So anyway we get out food home and half the shits missing. I knew I should have checked before I left so that's my bad. They can never ever get it right. read more

I was one of two cars in the drive thru, it still took 25 minutes. On top of that, they didn't put the cheese on my sliders and didn't include the fries that I ordered. I tried to go inside but both doors were locked. I wasn't about to wait in the drive thru for another twenty minutes so I left and I will NOT be returning. read more

They are currently open saying "their system is down" when I just saw a car get some food. they are saying 30-45 minutes of being down to reboot and we said we'd wait. they said "did you hear what I said bro" and we said yes. We'll wait. They said this to several cars. After waiting 20 minutes they had the same wait time till reboot. read more

Finally hunted down an elusive White Castle. Was so excited that these burgers would be good. Great things come in small packages and these came in sets!!! How could you go wrong? omfg, worse burgers ever. These burgers are steamed, wtf?! Should have tried the chicken. If u must, order 1 burger and try before you commit. read more

This place is terrible. Very slow. I'm in line as I write this and I've been here in line for at least 20-25 mins. Terrible!

Please update your hours. I drove 15 minutes to go in the drive-through that says open on here and they were closed

Place is a shit hole I would never go waited over 15 minutes in the drive-through line to get absolutely nothing would not expect anything less from Pontiac read more

I moved away from Michigan to DC a few years ago and like most people, I crave these damn greasy little burgers all the time. Whenever I come back to MI, myself and my friends and family from DC always hit White Castle at least once. Since all of the Waterford locations have closed, the MLK location in Pontiac is where we go now. A much more sketchy neighborhood than my previous White Castles, but we have never had any problems over here. My favorite order is a sack of cheeseburgers and an order of clam strips. The clam strips are actually pretty darn good for a fast food place. Yes, chances are your digestive system may disagree with your choice of food the next day, but since I only stop here a couple of times a year, I'm always willing to take my chances. White Castles are open 24 hours, which I love since I'm a late night person. read more

This place sucks. I thought White Castle would be better than the microwave ones, but I was wrong. After eating here I felt sick. The workers here also does not wipe down the tables, so it was sticky and nasty. All bad... read more

It's 11:00. Order food through the drive thru 35 minutes ago and I haven't even gotten to the window yet. Terrible establishment would not recommend to someone who is in a hurry. read more

I waited 8 minutes for my order of four burgers in drive-thru, then had to return because I received a regular Coke instead of a Diet Coke. I am now third in line to get my Diet Coke, looking at over twenty minutes total until I get my correct order. read more

Like everyone said the food is good but I never get what I order and I usually check my orders but everytime I go to White Castle I'm rushing to get back to work but I'm going to start learning to check my orders once I leave there because it's frustrating especially when you know you order something that you want can you get back to work it's not what you order and sometimes you don't even eat it you give it away it's been like that for 30 years but it is what it is read more

Service is horrid. Slow, slow, slow.....I've actually left the drive through line in the middle of the order because I was tired of waiting. The food, however, is really good. No complaints on the food, just the super slow service. read more
