The orginal (1921) hamburger chain, far predating McDonald's by decades, and my favorite burgers of all time are White Castle 'sliders': little square hamburgers with a small hole in the middle. We used to call them 'gut-busters' and 'grease bombs.' My dad said that when he was a kid in Chicago in the 1920s, they cost 5 cents a piece. When I was in high school in the later 1960s, they still were only 12 cents each. I'd get a bag of 12 and be in burger heaven. No more: it's now about $1.40 for just a basic slider. How times have changed. You either love them or hate them. My wife hates the smell of them, but I still love them. Sadly, White Castles' locations are pretty much limited to the central Midwest, Northeast, and Florida. (A similar chain called Krystals is in the deep South. They are good, too.) But none are located close to Omaha, NE, where I now live. You can get frozen White Castles at grocery stores, but it's not quite the same. So I had not been to a White Castle for...25years? When on a visit to Minneapolis, I made a special pilgrimage to satisfy my slider craving. Aside from the sticker shock, they are still pretty as I remember them: still great and I'm still in love with them. Nothing else is like a White Castle slider! All other burgers chains are generic in comparison. (aside from their twin in the South, Krystal)

I've been to this white Castle a number of times and it always makes me happy to go. The sliders are reliably fantastic and the service is always top quality; the people that work there have always been really nice to me and seem like they're having a good time.

Our annual Valentines day trip to White Castle lived up to expectations. On a day ripe with overpriced Pre-Fixe meals and crowded loud spaces all over town. The enthusiastic team at White Castle has the facility decorated so perfectly, and their Table service was impeccable. We started doing this 12 years ago, and I don't see us changing any time soon. What a fun experience.

Valentine's Day at White Castle has been our tradition for a few years now. The crew working at the Central Avenue were exceptional. Thanks for the fun!

White Castle sets aside one day each year to celebrate Valentine's Day. It takes quite a commitment for a fast food restaurant to close their dining room to patrons who don't have a reservation. They decorate the place to the hilt. And, they have wait staff to take/bring your order to your table. Such a fun experience.

As White Castle fans, we found this to be a fun and terrific experience. Not our first but our second at this Castle. We first enjoyed their hospitality and food way back at the 1st Valentine's Day dinner. As usual the burgers and fries were delicious. But add in the remarkably friendly, welcoming staff we had a great time. We brought friends along this time and they too were so glad they participated! Thank you to the manager, who visited our booth, and to the staff for keeping us fed with those great cheeseburgers! Great service and friendly folks making our evening fun and delicious.

I would give this establishment zero stars if I could. The staff provided a lackluster experience, displaying unprofessional behavior that overshadowed any redeeming qualities of the service. It was incredibly disappointing, to say the least.
Came here around 3:20 in the morning to grab some late-night food. Ordered online and got stail burgers, my mozzarella cheese sticks were frozen still. Had to drive another 15 minutes to ask them to remake my order. They remade the order but still they overcooked the meat...
