Belly bombers, sliders, White Castles....whatever you call them they are still the same addicting little burgers I grew up eating and when the craving hits (which is about 2-3 times a year) I must indulge. Things have changed from the White Castles of old. You can no longer stare at the giant glass window facing out into the restaurant to watch those thin square burgers cooked in front of your eyes on the giant grill then covered with those delicious perfectly tiny diced sauteed onions, a slice of pickle and perhaps some cheese, then topped with their proprietary bun until the steam from the grill infuses it with the burger and onion flavors. Oh, and I also remember the tubular plastic thing hanging down from the ceiling that was used to squirt just the right amount of ketchup on each burger. Finally, each burger is placed into a perfectly sized box (yellow for cheese and blue for regular). Today, everything is done behind the scenes but I assure you the original burgers taste very much the same way I remember them and they still come in the same boxes. White Castle also offers an Impossible plant based slider and it's pretty good. The first iteration when it was released was a hand formed round one and didn't really hit the mark. However, they made some changes to make it more like the original by making it square and a little thinner. My only issue is that they use a different bun for it and it's not as good as the original slider bun. Additionally, although I appreciate that the impossible burger is thicker and has more meat I still think it should be made just as thin as the original. Burger King has an Impossible Whopper and you would be hard pressed to tell it apart from the original. This is not the case with White Castle and I'm not sure why. Anyway, I did order both burgers (the original and the Impossible) as well as a few different cheese options (jalapeno cheddar, smoked cheddar, regular american) and all were good. They also have the best onion rings around. Although, I'm not a fast food fan I have to admit that White Castle is still one of my guilty pleasures that I'll continue to enjoy when the crave hits. Tip - if this pandemic ever ends you may want to try White Castle for Valentines Day. Yes, you read that right!! A long standing tradition by reservation only White Castle decorates their restaurants and provides waiter service on Valentines day making it both the most cheesiest and also fun and unique experience. You may even see people coming in black tie!

Out late? got hunger pains? or the ever popular-at least in my house---- "MA, were hungry can you take us to White Castle?" surrrrrrrrrrre It's the usual orders of lots and lots of sliders, chicken ring things, fries and pretty much anything they want to order. Its an epic feast of insane proportions and late night goodness, I'm always impressed on how much these kids can really pack away on a late night food fest. Service has always been pretty terrific and prices are reasonable. I know so many eat the frozen White Castle, I know I did when I lived in Cali and was jonesing for White Castle and that was my only every lovin' option, but do yourself a favor and have real White Castle meal at least once. It's a guilty pleasure I make no apologies for.

I don't know about runs to White Castle after 2:00 am when the bars close. Never tried their sliders as a hangover cure. Haven't done a secret visit to pick up and devour their double cheeseburger brick packs tight in their white paper sacks. I don't relate to any of those attitudes and secret handshake pleasures. For me, White Castle has been a fun place to go for delicious onion juiced square burgers with holes since I was a kid and my father took me to my first one in Bayside, Queens, NY. We drove all the way out from Washington Heights, Manhattan. I was 8. The only thing he told me was that, "It is time to find out what great delicacies there are in America." He was so right. That first bite. My dad watching me to see my reaction, and breaking into a huge snorting guffaw when my eyes opened wide and I gasped in total pleasure. After that, the pilgrimage to Bayside became a monthly ritual. It was our bonding experience. My older sister never felt it. But, my friends came along sometimes and became part of the White Castle Club. When we moved to New Jersey, my father promised there were more WCs in the Garden State to encourage me that we weren't moving away from civilization. When my son was 8, we drove from Bucks County, PA, to Route 1 in Middlesex County, NJ, to introduce him to the glory of these sliders. It was over an hour away, but this right of passage had to be continued with the next generation. We continue this tradition as often as possible now that he is 18 and about to go to college. He assures me that any school he attends must have a White Castle with 50 miles. I believe him. He has a map on his bedroom wall with all of them across the Eastern USA pinned. So, when I found this store on RT 9 in Howell, NJ, on my way to a meeting, I had to stop and taste the flavor of my childhood and reminisce over a couple of double jalapeno sliders. For old times sake.

When I was driving in NJ, I saw White Castle sign on the exit sign. I had it a long time ago so I kinda forgot the taste of the food here. Also, my friend never had it and he wanted it because of Harold and Kumar. So we had to take a quick detour to visit this place. Due to Covid, the dining in area is blocked. No big deal. We got the share-a-meal no.8 (10 sliders, 20 chicken rings, and fries) and clam strips. The food was okay. I forgot how thin the patty in the slider is. The clam strip was pretty good but there were more fried doughs without clams. Overall, it was not bad and I mean you should try it if you have ever watched Harold and Kumar. However, it's not something that I would crave often.

I gotta confess I'm a 43 yo man that should not be eating this at 2 am in the morning. However sometimes when you've had too much to drink you need something bad to eat. I have to be honest. I stopped in this White Castle and took a chance. I am so thankful that my local White Castle did not make me regret eating this more then I could have. I got the for burger meal with fries, and 6 chicken rings. Everything was fresh. I enjoyed it very much until the belly bombs did what they do. At least it wasn't stale food and made me regret eating this at two am. Thanks White Castle for being fresh at 2 am. I'm gonna have to work out extra when I wake up and have buyers remorse.
