    If you want to experience White Castle at its cleanest and friendliest, this is the place. It's by far the best White Castle I've been to, maybe because it's newer than the others. The older locations can get hot, muggy, and feel run-down, but this one is spotless with no issues. Unlike other spots that often have disruptive people hanging around, this location feels safe, welcoming, and well-kept. Honestly, it's the best experience I've ever had at White Castle.

    No free cup, I understand. So, I was willing to buy the cup so that my 86 years old dad on a wheelchair could drink his way too hot coffee. But , they want to charge $1.49 for an empty cup!!! Outrageous.!!!! Economy is bad, but getting sue for burned coffee would be worst. Solution, trashed my cold water from my thermo to split the coffee. Thanks but no thanks! Smoke still coming out!

    Parking lot!

    This is one of the cleanest fast food restaurants I've seen. Staffed by friendly and helpful employees and there's a parking lot.

    I come here once in a blue moon and I live walking distance away. Great for a late night snack since the burgers are bite sized and aren't too heavy. When I went with my friend, the workers were very polite and worked quickly to fill our orders. Happy about that part. But I must say that people just walk-in and no one knows where to stand to wait and to pick-up their orders. So there should be clearer stickers, markers, and signs on the floor or wall would be better. I'll be returning as I'm always down for late night snacks when I'm craving for it.

    They are sooooo good. I had 4 regular cheese burgers and they were out of this world. Brought me back 40 years

    Great burgers; service was nice and the ambiance was good. If you haven't had them you must

    Despite the assurance from nearly all of my New Yorker friends and being amused by Harold and Kumar, the allure of White Castle never came into fruition for me until recently. It's not the greasy, onion riddled sliders or the basket of fries that turned me around, but their two most recent sandwiches: the crab cake and the Impossible Burger. The crab cake slider almost reminds me fo a more stacked version of Mickey D's fish filet, except the tarter sauce is vastly inferior to White Castle's "creole sauce" which reminds me of Cane's sauce a la Raising Canes minus the sweetness factor. Combine this sandwich with an order of the shrimp nibblers and it's a complete seafood meal. Another move that makes White Castle a true pioneer in the fast food scene is their partnership with Impossible Foods to feature an imitation meat slider. It really it's some of the best fake meat I've ever had. In fact, I've enjoyed the Impossible Burgers so much that I'd prefer it to the actual beef. At practically $2 a pop, they are among the most premium items on the menu. As for this actual location, they have outdoor seating, a drive-thru, a "pick it yourself" soda machine, friendly staff, and a fairly clean interior. Since they're open 24 hours a day, I think I'll be stopping by more often to enjoy some fake meat.

    A vision!  Is this what the three wise men felt like?  By wise men I mean the Beastie Boys of course.

    When in Rome.. do as the beastie boys. Or whatever. This was my dads favorite growing up- so I, like so many, keep this place afloat w/ out once every year or so nostalgic tinged trip to the cross roads of the immigrating world - QUEENS YO! now, that I'm a couple generations in I can splurge on the CRAB CAKE ! ( 1.50$ ) - also because I have insurance. And it did not disappoint. Cleaned me right out ! I even came back 2 days later while still in the ole hood and did it again. That time skipping the "crab" "cake" "sandwich" and holding all the PICKLES. ( bleh ). Yet splurging for bacon on ALL burgers , or l sliders" as my intestines call them.. and this time... sat even better with me. Tho I tasted em ALL DAY. Which was sort of fun. Til the wife said "let's just do pizza tonight " and I said nawwww let's do a salad, or a colon cleanse, anything but more "fast" Food.

    Cheese Bacon Cheese Slider, Fries with cheese on the side, Onion Rings, Clam Strips

    This particular one is the one I always go to with my brother to dine in when ever we get that major craving. White Castle is one of those meals that you want after a while. The taste and quality is consistent. We always get the clam strips, fries, cheese burgers and onions rings or chicken rings once in a while. I recommend ordering cheese sauce on the side. All the fried food is relatively crisp with no sogginess. We always ask for packets of sauce particularly the honey mustard and the zesty zing. The employees are never grimy with the sauce and are willing to give you more sauce if you need it. The soda machine has a ton of options to choose from although sometimes some of the flavors ran out. We almost always leave this place with a greasy feeling in our bodies and slight regret of having so much junk food, but honestly we enjoy it. We always go back.

    Came all the way from California to try some White Castle, crazy! My bf was soo excited to try this 'cause we don't have White Castle in the west coast. He ordered a shit ton of food! I think we got 20 burgers, 4 fries, and 2 drinks. I thought the food was just okay. I mean I liked the frozen one from some stores haha. I hate pickles and didn't know they add pickles to the actual ones. Besides the pickles, it was pretty good. Taste different from a lot of the fast food burger place we've tasted but not bad. My bf totally loved and enjoyed every moment of it. He was sooo crazy full but he didn't regret ubering from Time Square to here just to try it. That's how bad he wanted it haha. I would rate it a 3 but my bf really liked it haha. Should definitely open one in California! Bunch of people want to give it a try.

    Craving for Sack of 30
    Jane L.

    Yes, this review is for take out and going through their drive through. Had the craving for some White Castle hamburgers. When it is hot and humid at 94 degrees and with the humidity which makes it feel like 100 degree. NYC is under a heat wave warning. Do you really want to cook??? No way. It's take out time. Do not enter on the Queens Blvd side for drive through entrance is on the side street (43rd Street- go slow on the two way street or you will miss the drive through entrance). The Queens Blvd entrance is for parking to eat at the restaurant. Could not figure out the entrance the first time I went the take out route. After couple of times, I got the system down packed. Always come here for their Crave Case with a Sack of 30 sliders and it come in a carry case which is so cool like I just got out of a business meeting. The hamburgers are still piping hot when I got home.

    Harold and Kumar!!! Why? Someone has to do a movie for salad with dressing on the side... wait that's the kale, hipster, living in a van movement that is happening now... Focus! I had White Castle before and had to stop by again when I'm in the east coast... it's not the same... I've never noticed the patty looking like a slice of meatloaf until this occasion. The chicken rings were fun and I still prefer McD's nuggets, the chicken waffle sandwich was too sweet for my liking, thumbs up for the amount of bacon in the mayo spread. Loved how diverse this locations is, Korean uncles came in speaking simple English for their combo ones. Governments employee debated with a local shop owner on politics politely. Free parking. I'm coming back!

    Great service, chemical-tasting foods. They have more highly rated burgers than McDonald's, so maybe my taste buds are different.
