White Castle

Living in California, we don’t have white castles, but I’ve always wanted to try one considering how big the hype is. Unfortunately, I was not impressed at all and this place fell below our expectations. I guess you could say it’s just like every other typical fast food place. The employees didn’t not seem happy to be there, it made me feel really bad for them. As far as the food, it was just ok. I ordered a few different sliders since they are so small and I wanted to try different ones. The patties had no flavor at all and seem like they were microwaved. The buns were super soggy. I probably won’t want to come back again, since I didn’t find it satisfying.

I give them one star for being open late. However, it’s clear they don’t have the capacity or expertise to handle their flow of customers at night. Drive thru wait wasn’t bad. When I get to the window my bag is ripped up the side. My stuff fit neatly in the bag so I’m confused how it got ripped and why the cashier thought it was OK to give me a ripped bag. But whatever, it was late. Driving past the window there was at least 10 – 15 people crowded inside the lobby waiting. So I was confused when I got home why ALL the food was cold and stale. I get its late but I ended up throwing the food out, for fear that it had been sitting out somewhere for hours, and they just didn’t give a care and threw it my bag to get the line down.

What’s the 1^st thing you do when you flight lands? Go to White Castle, right? This location is convenient because it’s near Midway airport.
The food was fast & fresh but the drive-​thru employee was not attentive. When we begin to order she rudely said «I’ll be with you in a moment!» Huh, why, there was no one in front of us! Then we pull up to get our food & there’s onion rings in the bag. WHY? We didn’t order onion rings. And when we told her she says «you didn’t order onion rings?» Ahhhhh, NO! She goes on to say «we’ll have to cancel the order & re-​ring it». The manager then walks up and said «can we just give you a medium fry so we won’t have to go through the hassle of canceling then ringing it all over.»
I’m didn’t get to sleep in my flight, I’m tired… so for her convenience we took the fries and left.
Will I return, sure the food was good & fresh! Things happen!

Waited a long time to get a short interaction with the cashier. The cashier was in such a hurry that she walked away before giving me my receipt. The associates seem to be in such a panic when there is relatively no customers. I have yet to receive my food, but I’m sure I have nothing to look forward to since the customer service left a bad taste in my mouth.

We don’t have White Castle where I’m from, so I had to stop! Just little sliders, not even the most delicious but something about them makes you wanna fall in love. You can get 4 sliders, fries and a drink for about $ 6.

First time and a White Castle. Went through the drive thru and service was very fast. Only disappointing part was the not so friendly workers. Nothing terrible just not very welcoming.
Food was hot and tasty.

Husband loves White Castle, and I occasionally indulge, but my 2-​star rating is for the location, not the food.
This location is small, way too small for the volume that clearly comes through here. Even at 10pm, this place was clearly overwhelmed. Given what I could see of the building and the size of the dining room, the kitchen is woefully undersized.
The staff was neither rude, nor friendly, just indifferent. OK, fine, whatever. But SUCH A LONG WAIT. When you’re tired from flying, so hungry, and just wanting to get to your hotel, waiting at this drive-​through for 25 minutes was just awful, especially considering we were one of only TWO cars.

I’ve been to this White Castle numerous times. They offer good service at low price. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite before taking off at the nearby airport.

Ok let’s be honest here. Yes, the sliders are amazing but damn do they take forever for drive thru and even when u dine in. Sucks this is the only white castle around midway area…

I tried this place on my way to Midway airport. I love new Veggie sliders. Very nice vegetarian option added to white castle menu. Loved it.

Yep…
You just can’t eat enough sliders.
Those little things are just delicious.

I usually do not write restaurant reviews but I thought I’d I should leave feedback on this one.
This place sucks.
It was 60 degrees inside and 70 degrees outside.
The employees were just arguing with each other.
We spent 10 minutes trying to place an order that was way too complicated.
All we wanted was a number 9.
I literally saw a family with small children leave the restaurant because they thought they were going to get the flu cold it was.

I’ve posted a video showing the restaurant and planes landing at Midway Airport. Take a look and like it or let me know if you’d like something different. Thanks.
I’ve been eating at White Castle locations for over 30 years. And this location was my very first White Castle experience in 1982. Many things have changed since then except for the airplanes landing right outside this location.
When this location was rebuilt from the ground up a number of years ago I can say White Castle failed. This building has one small counter (last one had three) and there is very little seating area to handle the volume that uses this location.
Recent visits have had very long lines just to order, a 10+ minute wait for my order after paying, and ignorant and unresponsive employees. The tables are always dirty and the rest rooms are disgusting.
The exterior is usually maintained by an outside landscaping firm and often looks fairly sharp. Watching the airplanes landing at the airport never gets old for me and that’s about the only reason I come back.

Really fast service. That place is hustling like nobodies business. In N Out Burgers is this busy but takes way longer. Happy that I finally experienced White Castle! Beastie Boys and Harold & Kumar… I’ve visited and the experience at this location rocked. Yum x 22.3!

This used to be a regular stop on the way to the hotel
Small burgers, much like sliders.
A very different taste and greasy but addicting.

OMG they are so slow here. I’ve been waiting (wasting gas, mind you) on the drivethru for about 15 mins now. Granted there are two cars in front of me but come on! The burgers are good though. One of the few places open at 2am.
Edit: It depends who you get at the window, some people are very efficient and others are complete lazy bums.

I love white castle but the service here is so awful! You can literally wait 30 minutes for a freakin’ slider.

Love White Castle, go once every other week on Friday late night. So far of most I visited around the city, this one takes the longest everytime I go, drive thru, wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. Argh, wish they were faster, happens all the time.

Waiting for wife… as she is landing shortly.
Have 15 minutes to «waste».
It has been awhile since I have had a slider (the original creators… and creators of the entire hamburger industry!).
I had a fish sandwich with cheese. Very tasty.
I only had one.
Time to go pick up Wifey… so 2 trivia tidbits to readers of this review.
** Though WC was started in Wichita KS… there is no WC there today nor anywhere in Kansas.
**Every year on Valentine’s Day White Castle offers to reserve a candlelit table for two, complete with a server.
I think Wifey would kill me if I did that on Valentine’s Day… after she died laughing

I think the only time I go to White Castle is late at night. I don’t think I ever have the craving at any other time of day.
I’m a simple guy and I normally just go for the cheese sliders but now they have all sorts of options to choose from. I also enjoy their fries and onion rings and I find myself sometimes only ordering those items off the menu!
I always loved to get a Crave Case (30 sliders) anytime I need to feed large groups of people or if I’m really hungry… kidding.
My new favorite item would have to be the Chicken rings. You can get a sack of 20 for only $ 4 and change. I just love the deal and it fills me up too! If you’ve never had some White Castle before, I would definitely worth a shot! Check it Out!
