    I remember my first exposure to White Castle were these frozen reheatable sliders that they would sell in a grocery store. My dad used to love them, and would buy them every week. I thought they were alright.. but I wanted to try it in the actual restaurant. So.. I've always wanted to eat at this joint since 2004... when I first watched Harold and Kumar go through a crazy journey to satisfy their hunger at White Castle. Yes I waited 6 years, so I did have pretty high expectations. People from around the area kept calling it the In N Out of the east coast.. so I really wanted to try it for myself. As I walked in with my sister and uncle, I was surprised that it was so crowded. From looking around at all of the black and white photos posted on the wall, it seemed like this place had a lot of history. Maybe that explains why most of the customers were an older crowd. I ordered a chicken ring with cheese, an original slider, a bacon cheeseburger, and their new savory loaded fries with bacon, cheddar, and ranch., Each slider was done in 3 bites. I'll admit- the burgers seem cute & scrumptious in their little cardboard box homes, but looks are deceiving. They taste like miniature versions of burgers from McDonald's or something. In fact, they kind of taste like the ones I got from the grocery year many years ago. The fries kind of made me sick to my stomach so I gave the rest to my sister. My uncle, who is a NJ native, isn't even a fan of this place. He told me White Castle used to be really good a few decades ago when they used real beef. Now, it's just processed mystery meat. I don't know why people compare it to In N Out when they're not even similar. Burgers aren't even on the same level in terms of quality. It is a lot cheaper though. 2.5 stars.

    The Impossible Slider

    Food was good however they do not offer vegan cheese at this location for their impossible burgers. I do not like ketchup so my burgers were a little dry, I did get extra onions. My friend had a few regular cheeseburgers and he said they were good. Fries were also good. 3 stars as no vegan cheese and this location does NOT separate the impossible burgers from the meat burgers when bagging like other locations.

    Slidin' them back.

    I grew up eating White Castle. My grandmother worked for them for 25 years at a different location. So, foodwise I'm biased. I'll always give the food a good review as the recipe doesn't change. If you've never went, go. Little square burgers on square buns, in little square boxes, or, sliders, as they've become to be known. And, they're always adding to the menu. This location: Fairly clean most of the time & the service is adequate. There is 1 particular employee who always seems to confuse your order while you're telling him because he asks you questions while you're ordering. He's somewhat of a strange dude. The prices are average, & they have combo options to save a few bucks. All in all, not a bad trip out for some classic Jersey fast food. The drive-thru cuts in on the go-around lane, so if you're parked near it, & trying to back out, you may be blocked in waiting. I advise parking in front. And, beware the seagulls. Don't feed them or you'll get mobbed by them. Seriously.

    Have you seen those commercials where the guy walks into an office with a lunch order and starts calling out to the employees, "Who ordered the Make my Thighs fatter burger?" "Who ordered the Heartburn attack burger?" Well I have one for this White Castle. It's an order of food poisoning with an extra side of vomit. Eating at a White Castle for a west coaster(myself) is what I assume eating at an In-N-Out would be like for an east coaster. However, White Castle is nothing short of disgusting. My Girlfriend and I both had the misfortune of chowing down a meal from this White Castle, waiting an hour until the mystery meat began to eat at our insides, and then battling for the porcelain throne as our food made its way back up for daylight. Skip it guys.

    Not super impressed. I liked the chicken rings but not the ranch. The burgers just tasted like grease and onions. Total stoner food.

    12 cheese sliders and a sack of fries
    Carlo D.

    11 years after the great Harold and Kumar came out, I was finally able to satisfy my curiosity and cravings for the famous Sliders! I've lived in Texas and now California, so the closest I've ever come to having white castle was through the microwaveable ones from Walmart. Now it just so happens that I've finally made my way out to the east coast on business, and the first thing that came to mind was "where's the nearest White Castle?" So why the 3 stars?? Well, I was honestly disappointed that the sliders didn't meet my expectations. Why? Because for so many years people have told me that the frozen version from Walmart just isn't same. But based on my food today, I beg to differ. They were very much the same...well actually its sad to say that their frozen version is a little better. I know, it should NEVER be that way, right? Now, am I saying the food was bad? Nope. Again, I'm just disappointed that the difference in taste was nearly zero. Also, the sack of fries were not that great and needed more salt, but then again I've never been a fan of crinkle style fries. As for service, the staff was friendly and my food(12 cheese sliders and fries) came out quick. No gripes there. I haven't given up hope yet, and plan to visit a different white castle location before I leave the east coast in a few days.

    Driving 45 minutes even for White Castle is a bit much for me, but if I head to Seaside Heights, a stop is mandatory.

    I like this place. If you are in the mood for a smash burger they do it well here. The fries are…read morebetter if you eat in or have a air fryer at home to reheat them. It is counter service but they are fast and accurate. The ambiance is a fun hamburger stand from the 1950s vibe.

    Full disclosure: I'm generally not a huge fan of fast food, especially nowadays where most places…read morecharge $13+ for 'value' meals consisting of what I can only assume is sawdust-infused beef. Freddy's however, is NOT that type of fast food joint, and it's incredible. Walking in, they kept the place fairly spotless. The decor is a modern take on a 50's aesthetic, with red and polished metal fixtures. The menu, as expected, is fairly 'Americana' in nature with burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, and shakes / sundaes. I opted for the 'prime rib steakburger combo' with shoestring fries. A few minutes later the food came out, and let me tell you - I was blown away by the flavor and quality. Perfect maillard reaction on the burger (which I believe is of the "smashed" variety), excellently caramelized onions and mushrooms, as well as a decent cheese. EASILY the best fast food burger I've had in the past decade. If I had to compare the flavor, I'd say it's as if Five Guys and Smashburger collaborated to make something actually decent. Best of both worlds. Finally, the combo was PLENTY of food, and I left quite full. This place rules, I'll be back again!
