White Castle
This was my first time trying White Castle and it was great! Wish I hadn't waited 45 years! lol. Not sure what I ordered, but the little square burgers were devine! Check out my photos!!!
I love the Castle and this one had great service, was clean and had plenty of parking. Only downside is getting over from the left lane on Rt. 22. When the crave strikes it is good and safer than some of the other ones I have been to.
White Castle is the only thing I miss about living in New Jersey. In fact, it may well be the only highlight of living actually living there.
White Castle has a cult. Not a cult following, mind you, but an honest to goodness cult that will go to the ends of the Earth proclaiming the greatness of their tiny square burgers. Having been forged into such a cultist by weekly 4 a.m. trips there for most of my teenage life, I can say proudly that this is some of the tastiest, greasiest, most satisfying food you can eat. I was blessed to have it clogging my arteries during my formative years.
The meat and cheese are actually high quality compared to other fast food chains, and the sides are as unique (chicken rings) and tasty (surprisingly good mozzarella sticks) as you'll find anywhere. A standard meal there consists of anywhere between four and ten burgers, augmented by a couple of the sides, and the invariable meeting of some dude from your old high school. No matter where you live or how far you drove to get to a White Castle, you will find someone from your high school in there in the middle of the night. It's just how it works. Such is the magic of it.
If you've seen Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, the look on their faces at the end of the movie is no exaggeration. If you want Castle, nothing else with satisfy you but Castle. And when you get it, you'll thank the Gods Themselves that such a place exists.
This place is worth a cross country road trip.
I moved back to the area, and as a treat to myself for all my hard work during the move – I treated my friend and I to a Crave Case. I haven't been to White Castle in forever, and I knew the stomach pains from the sliders would be killer, but I had a craving that wouldn't quit.
I lived in the area for about 10 years, but on the other side of Route 22 in Union. Now I'm in Roselle Park, on the other side of 22. So my knowledge of White Castle was always: get on 22, get really angry, make a u-turn, get more angry, and finally pull in to the parking lot. But my friend let me in on a secret, the secret of being on this side of 22. There is a back entrance. No need to go on 22! Seriously, this news changed my life. I avoid 22 like the plague. I hate every time I have to get on that road.
So we jumped in the car, drove down the street, and hit up the back entrance to White Castle. No anger involved.
We got our Crave Case, half with cheese, and it fed us the entire weekend. We had it for lunch, dinner, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our tummies were yelling at us by the time Sunday Night hit and we had the last 2 sliders apiece, but it was so worth it.
I forgot my coupons, which was upsetting (could've saved a whole $2 on the Crave Case!), but with my knowledge of a back entrance – I know I'll be back soon.
