You get what you paid for. Mini greasy burgers, chicken rings, mozzarella sticks, clam strips, and sacks of french fries that fill you up if you are smoking doobies and getting the late night munchies after watching Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle on a Friday night.
On my drive from Boston to Florida we NEEDED very very badly to stop at a White Castle, didn't care where, just, we knew that it was something that had to be done. So I found this little gem in Union City which was very interesting in itself!
Also, I tried to take a pic of the sign but it didn't come out..it said "Valentines Reservations Welcome" or something close, as if! I totally would reserve!! So we don't have any in or near Boston and I would drive the 4 hours to Union City with the parking lot to eat here.
The chicken rings are fantastic, get the fluorescent yellow dijon to go with it and the BBQ…sooo good. Also the BBQ pulled pork slider is really good as well. I love them, I wish they would get the clue and come up to New England, there are tons of fans WAITING.
I went to this white castle after 3am. I know You are thinking a harold and kumar adventure. WRONG! i was at a TV studio late and i got a call from my friend who works for the NY redbulls soccer team who was flying back on a red eye. i told her i was going to stop over her place after i was done shooting. She suggested white castle. I completely forgot what she told me to order her. so i saw this box of 50 mini burgers for like $30 bucks and i got her the whole box. i think i ate 4 and she ate 2. Her reaction when i was standing there with a cardboard suitcase of white castle was priceless. If you ever want to shock someone take$30 bucks and go to white castle.
I don't frequent white castle often. I do enjoy a good belly bomb every once in awhile.
1st off the food is super cheap. you can get a full meal for $5. includes your drink 3-4 burgers and a onion rings or fries you cant beat that.
I usually get the mini burgers when i go to white castle and every time i have gone. I make the mistake of ordering with my eyes and not my stomach. Just a heads up, If you have never been to white castle order sparingly. I usually get the 6 burgers and if im lucky can eat 4. they look so small but are so heavy in your stomach. I call them (Belly Bombs) because after you eat them they hit you like a rock super heavy. You want to take a nap and call it a day after you eat here. when i got to my friends house the burgers were not hot anymore but the box was very hot when i got them. also even at 3am, 50 white castle burgers takes awhile. I recommend going into the store if you are going to place a big order. overall this place was nice for a white castle i enjoyed the burgers and slept well after. i will be back here next time.
PROS:
– cheap good food
-made my friends night
As far as I can remember, this is my first time visiting this White Castle location. I stopped by to get a quick meal with my husband and to get a Crave Case for an event later that day for the big boxing fight.
I had some coupons and experienced no trouble using them. One of them was for a buy one, get one on any #1-6 White Castle meal. The cashier informed me that I could mix and match but I stuck with the classic #1 (original burger, fries/onion rings and drink) and asked for the burgers with cheese and no pickles. I also ordered the new veggie burger with honey mustard sauce.
My food was ready about 4-5 minutes later and everything was fresh and warm. My husbands burgers did not have pickles in them as I had ordered, but my batch of burgers still had pickles. I picked them out so it was not a big deal, but definitely inconvenient. Our fries and onion rings were fresh and hot! The veggie burger was okay (kinda smushy) and the sauce helped give it flavor.
When we ordered our Crave Case, they got the order correct. They were pickle-free!! We also used a $3 coupon on them and there were no problematic issues using it.
I observed that others were also using coupons for their meals too. The cashier helped to explain the coupons to the other customers because they couldn't understand the language on it. He also went above and beyond by helping advise on family orders when they wanted to buy a package deal but didn't know how to come up with one that was affordable. He was very friendly and accommodating! The customers in front of me were not easy, yet somehow, he was able to keep everything together.
I also like this White Castle because it doesn't have bulletproof glass like the location at Journal Square in Jersey City. The place appears to be clean and well-maintained. They offer excellent customer service and really appear to be happy to help out their customers.
I am just happy I got to try a legit White Castle burger.. I have to admit, there really isn't anything that special about the burger.. It's like your normal sliders.. Except a little greasier and possibly even smaller than average sliders.. But the fact that I'm from the CA and we don't have White Castle.. I just had to try it while I'm over in the East Coast… During my trip to NY, I really thought I wasn't going to be able to try White Castle.. It just wasn't on the top of the priority list of things that I must try.. So I was a little bummed thinking I wouldn't be able to try it.. (I blame Harold and Kumar!! Made White Castle so popular!) lol.. Anyway.. As we were leaving our place in NJ to move to a hotel in NY… Our taxi driver turned the corner.. And like movies.. Where a light from the sky shines down on something you've been dreaming and wanting… That same light shined down and that sound went through my head Ahhhhh! Just like in movies!! Lol! I might be exaggerating a bit but HEY! My mind.. And it happened haha! We had to ask the taxi driver if we could run over and get some real quick and luckily our cab driver was nice and didn't mind.. Ahh.. Finally got our hands on some yummy little bite size burgers.. I thought it was pretty good.. But I would still say in&out is still better. But it's just the fact that I got to try it.. Made me happy!
It's White Castle. You get what you paid for. 2 days in the bathroom.
When that craving hits, it hits HARD.
*Note: I've never been inside & have only ordered through the drive thru & gorged myself on the awesome jalapeno burgers in the parking lot.*
