    This location is a terrible example of the white castle brand.....The last two to three times my wife and I visited through the drive-thru, the double cheese sliders we love were so greasy they made us sick. The last time we decided to show the manager and it was replaced with one that was just as greasy as the other ones. Won't be returning here ever again.

    5/2022 5* Always a great place to go. Good food, and good service. 4/2021 As always. Found the food great and the staff helpful. Always good to be here. 6/2020 I don't get over here very often. But make it a point to stop in any time I can. Love the Jalapeno Sliders. And love the Mozzarella Sticks for sure too. Yum Yum! 2018 How can you go wrong with "sliders"? They are awesome. Not good for me. But I do love to stop by when in the area. Always good. Have not been inside in 10 years, but love to get a sack full thru the drive thru.

    Terrible service I ask for .no pickles in my burger, and I received pickles. I also asked for sauce. I received no sauces.

    This was the first time for us going to a White Castle. Fun to try, I guess.. but not very impressed with the food or atmosphere. We were ignored for a long time trying to order inside.

    What can I really say about white castle. It's been around for a long time. This particular WC is very fast and efficient. When I get drive thru food it's fast, hot, and most importantly it's correct. ENJOY!!!

    They actually cracked the egg when making my sandwich, talk about fresh. Have not seen that in a while, especially from a fast food restaurant. Great friendly service. Sandwich had great taste. Coffee was awsome.

    Sliders were excellent as usual. I really don't care for their frys. Best item was the soda machine. I got a caffeine free diet cherry coke. Now you can't get that just anywhere.

    It's love or hate with White Castle. I love it. Been enjoying since the early 1980's. Some of my friends and even my wife can't understand why, but I get the "crave" at least twice a year. I was sad to see one of my favorite locations closed, but hope all the others stay open. I have to fly into Chgo from the DC area to get my White Castle, but it's worth it...to me. Cheers 🍻!

    When I made my original visit to this White Castle, the service was outstanding. The wonderful lady taking my order was friendly, helpful, complementary, and efficient. My food, including the traditional sliders, the impossible sliders, and the small crinkle french fries were made perfect. There was plenty of seating inside this White Castle and It was fairly clean. Sure, the inside of this White Castle could use updating, but overall it was clean. I enjoyed the updated drink machine that has a greater variety of soft drinks, including the unsweetened flavored tea that I chose. My second visit 9/30/2023 was the polar opposite. There was a brand new young trainee at the register and it was 100% evident that he was not fully trained or ready to be taking food orders by himself. He to to ask one of his fellow coworkers for help finding the food and beverage choices on the register every step of the way. I felt bad for him and managers need to give him further training and see how he works out. They also need to train him to not be touching his face and his hat, etc. and then be touching the customers cups and food items for the orders with unwashed hands.

    It is first fast food restaurant in the USA. I am not freackwant diner at this location. The temperature inside the store is too high. Eating a lot of burgers is bad for health. Coffee is ok, but i have to put sugar and cream into the cup by myself.

    Haven't had white castle in around 2 years, but suddenly wanted to have some again and as usual it's solid. For a fast food place, it ain't bad.

  • 1/5 Gary B (. 3 months ago on Google • 82 reviews New
    Fish sliders were burnt and in obvious distress when it comes to the grease. Old grease at that. Night n day from the ones I had in Indiana. Nasty. I ate them. I deeply regret it

  • 5/5 Jason B. 4 months ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Enjoy the Impossible burger. The guy at the drive through was friendly and the food was fresh. Always a good experience at the Golf Road White Castle. Employees deserve a raise.

    Fast & friendly service. Great food. Clean restaurant & restroom. Too bad they don't offer more coupons. Need to watch how much salt to use. Was a little too salty this time.

  • 5/5 Mouseofgory 1 year ago on Google
    Quick and friendly customer service. They made the sliders really good at this location. I ate white Castle once before at a different location and the sliders werent very good. My mom even liked these and she doesnt eat fast food.

  • 5/5 Kevin A. 2 years ago on Google
    We had placed an order from the app for pick up. The 3 women working the evening of our order pick up were friendly and helpful. I know not everyone tips at a fast food place but we did. Thank you ladies for all your hard work

  • 5/5 Eric F. 1 year ago on Google
    These burgers are special! I'm not a huge meat eater and even I love them. Though you may have to wait a little bit of time for the food to be ready, it always comes out steaming hot with a moist and delicious bun! Definitely worth the wait! My favorite are the jalapeño cheeseburgers!

  • 5/5 Asian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken ring combo with my mobile coupon at $3.99 was excellent at 3am. Plus my jalapeno cheeseburgers. Drive-thru gentleman was very polite and helpful with details on my mobile coupons and answered my question on hours of operations. Thank you. I will be back!

  • 4/5 Bret S. 2 years ago on Google
    It's White Castle, so...fast food and ok prices. If you're not familiar, they steam cook all their square burgers that come in the form of sliders. So you get any number of sliders with a meal. Their fries are consistently good. I like them better than other fast food giants. They also have good shakes, and flavored soda.

  • 5/5 El C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the 1921 slider with chicken rings. It was fire. If you got the late night munchies look no further. Grape soda is crisp here. Real good with the jalapeños hot sauce

  • 4/5 Tony D. 5 months ago on Google
    Friendly, kind, and helpful for sure! As for the burgers...the taste is always predictable and delicious! 2 Double cheese and 2 single cheese this time. YUMMY!

  • 5/5 LM C. 5 months ago on Google
    Yes please!!! I'm a foodie, but this is nostalgia for me... these burgers taste like they did when I was a kid, nothing has changed, except they added a new cheese. If you've never had them, it's a must!

  • 4/5 K M. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed our little burgers. Had not been to White Castles in over 7 years. Tasted as we remembered. Ordered onion rings. They were good but they were overcooked which caused them to taste burnt and less enjoyable.

  • 4/5 Steve G. 1 year ago on Google
    Getting hard to find a decent White Castle, but this place is very good! No long lines, friendly staff. Let’s show em some love!

  • 5/5 Orlando Rodriguez (Oso B. 6 months ago on Google
    You know how it is. You get a craving for something there, and nobody else offers what they have. The food was hot, delicious, fresh, and fast. Even though it was 1am. Very pleased.

  • 5/5 Martin B. 7 months ago on Google
    Being from the South, I've never been to a White Castle. I was impressed. Little burgers with such simple ingredients really went a long way. It's no wonder I kept hearing about them even from afar.

  • 5/5 Jack P. 1 year ago on Google
    10/29: picture this. I'm starving, and I order White Castle through the app. I'm expecting to probably have to wait awhile since this particular White Castle is often slammed with people around the time I go (8:30 or so PM). I see the fortress of food as I draw closer and see it is, in fact, busy, but I go inside and see all the ladies working with insane amounts of burger magic and teamwork to put together these orders, mine included. It was ready when I got there, it was lovingly packed, and it tasted DIVINE. What more could I ask for, except for a wish to have all these ladies (and one dude working at the time) get a raise? Excellent job, for real.

  • 4/5 Ceinats C. 1 year ago on Google
    Never consistent. What are the hours actually? Monday and Tuesday google says 3 am, today monday I arrived in the drive thru at 2:30 am and drive thru said closed. Some days cheeseburgers are great other time buns are hard and no pickles or onions. I didn't ask for plain thats what makes the cheeseburger. 🙂

  • 4/5 Danny C. 5 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    It's White Castle. It's not gourmet, but I like it. Don't expect a pub burger or In N Out burger here. Just good ole steamed burgers with onions. Fries were crispy, service was fast and they are open 24 hrs. For late night, it hits the spot.

  • 3/5 Deloris F. 10 months ago on Google
    When it comes to the food you never know what to expect. Sometimes the burgers aren't done , sometimes they are over cooked. The service is good though

  • 3/5 Andrei D. 1 year ago on Google
    The did quality has gone diwn.... not the same white castle i remember from before.... out of 2 bacon cheese Guthrie, I had soggy bun.... onion rings had off flavors (probably didn't change the oil as frequently as they should). Service is ok and atmosphere is usual white castle

  • 5/5 Robert D. 1 year ago on Google
    Simply amazing. A staple of Chicago, even though White Castle spans several states. Definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Shawn W. 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken Rings YUM, BURGERS always delightful.. fries a little limp.. Lady at was cool, I was curious about the new Sprite Midnight, she gave me a sample of it... it tastes like a liquid gummy bear with sprite, it was YUM! Recommend.

  • 5/5 Steffi M. 9 months ago on Google
    Staff through drive thru always very nice. Drive thru can be a bit of a wait but I think they are lower staffed. Worth it though.

  • 5/5 aszi2003 1 year ago on Google
    Every so often I get a snack attack. White castle is one of the only places that tastes the same as when I was a kid. Can't do the frozen. I must go to the real deal. This location does not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Yaz Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh & delicious food, even after midnight! I picked up a "Crave Clutch" box of 20 cheese sliders for my wife, mother-in-law, & myself. It hit the spot big time, thank you so much!!! 😁👍

  • 5/5 Anita B. 1 year ago on Google
    This white castle is much better than it used to be. It seems like they were using curry in their food, so I stopped going. Haven't been in 2 years. My daughter went and said they had new people and the food was good again and had that taste we look for from White Castle. I gave them another try, and she was so right. It's safe to go back now

  • 4/5 TheGoonSquad 1 year ago on Google
    This White Castle never disappoints. They do take a while to get the food but it doesn’t matter when your getting some sliders. They come out hot and fresh same with fries

  • 5/5 Jared P. 1 year ago on Google
    Open late night when driving through from a late night flight. Staff was friendly and polite, as it's not your regular burger place. Food was made fresh and affordable. Now I see why White Castle has a cult following. I'll be back next time I'm traveling through. A few turns off the highway but not too far, worth the extra 2-mins.
