Lion&#x27;s Choice - Wentzville

This is White Castle, folks, the crown jewel of hamburger cravings. Hell, they even made two movies…read moreabout this place. It's got to be good, right? Oh yeah. Dejected, disappointed, amazed. All adjectives to describe any Kansas Citian's remorse when WC packed up their burgers and moved out of town. Like the day the Colts left Baltimore in the middle of the night. When the Supersonics turned their back on Seattle for Oklahoma City. When your first love moved to Pittsburgh because her dad got a promotion. Sigh..... White Castle sliders are legit. These little buggers take about 2 minutes to cook because of their skimpy size. Who cares. Delicious. Get them with or without cheese, teeny onions included with a baby pickle slice thrown on top. Eat it while its hot because no self respecting WC fan likes a soggy bun. No sir. I've eaten 10 of these at a time before and had the stomach ache to prove it. Want ketchup? You'll have to grab 20 packets like in a school lunch line to satisfy your needs. The crinkly fries are also good. Don't pass up the opportunity for some chicken rings also. If you have the means, I highly recommend them. Yes, it's fast food. No, it's not good for you. Yes, you'll earn some serious street cred. No, you can't find them west of this location in Wentzville. Yes, I'll have some more. No, crave cases in your local freezer section aren't the same. Yes, my pupils dilate when I talk about WC. No, I'm not addicted. Yes, the first step is admitting you have a problem. No, just give me more.

An odd sign in the entry notes that are no longer accepting their previously issued gift certificates (wait, so you took money for these and are no longer honoring them?), but it didn't impact me. The food was where things went south. It took 30 minutes in a half full restaurant. I ordered the namesake Tattooed Dog, as I've had it before. It arrived with onion rings... 4 of them, from medium down to small. The dog was mostly warm (not hot), but withered like it had been cooking for a while. The meat was placed atop chili that was cold... cold enough to rob the warmth from some spots of the dog. The bun was a soggy mess, and none of the cheese was melted, so it couldn't have been under the heat lamp. It looked fanciful when served, but it was very underwhelming eating compared to past experiences. My wife had the chicken wrap, served with French fries. In a day and age when competitors give out fries like they need to clear an overstocked situation, it was a small handful that would normally be found in a Happy Meal from the famous clown. The wrap itself was shy on the chicken, and heavy on the dressing inside. What used to be a nice place, appears to be sliding downhill, as if the kitchen has given up. If they've checked out, so have we.

Super friendly staff and the place was BUSY (always a good sign). I could tell a lot of locals eat here because people seemed to know the employees, and one guy was even piecing together punch cards to score a discount . Inside there are tables, chairs, and even a little bar to sit at. I ordered the Cod Sub, the Buffalo Chicken Sub, and the Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Sandwich (mine without bacon because of a red meat allergy). While I waited, they offered me a glass of water which was a nice touch. The smell when I opened my food in the truck was AMAZING. I went straight for the Raspberry Chipotle Chicken Sandwich--grilled chicken, cheese, that sweet & tangy chipotle raspberry sauce, all on one of the freshest buns I've had in a long time. Juicy, flavorful, and came with fries that were seasoned just right. Honestly, I wish I had a side of that raspberry chipotle sauce just for the fries because the ones that caught extra sauce were SO good. The other two subs had to wait until I got home that night, but even a few hours later they held up. The Cod Sub was thick, flaky, and perfectly topped. The Buffalo Chicken Sub had good flavor without being overwhelming (and I'm kind of a spice wimp, so if I can handle it, it's definitely on the milder side). And can we talk about the bread? SO good. I don't know if they bake it in-house or get it from somewhere special, but it's not your standard cheap sandwich bread. It really makes the difference. Overall, I'm super impressed. Great food, great service, and clearly a local favorite. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town--probably after my next camping trip. If you live in Washington and haven't tried this place yet, you're missing out. And if you're just passing through on your way to I-44, do yourself a favor and grab a sub to go.
