How can anyone like White Castle?

The fast food chain. Holy shit, everything is horrific. It's like the Kmart of fast food!

I've never seen one.

Except for the one at Disneyland but that was 35 years ago.

You know, they wouldn't let gay couples dance at that Disneyland burger disco place. That was actually my favorite place to eat at Disneyland. I hated the Pirates of the Caribbean fish restaurant.

There's no White Castle at Disneyland and the Pirates restaurant, called the Blue Bayou, has pretty great food. I like the Prime Rib.

For me it's nostalgia. I grew up in the south so we only had White Castle while on trips visiting relatives in the midwest. It was a treat because we could get two (2!) burgers since they were small and cheap. It's been years since I've been to one so I'm sure my opinion would be different now.

I tried them once in Cincinnati and Op is correct. They were utterly inedible, I had to trash it.

But there are those who disagree.

WC sliders have come up in price.

McDs has been good by comparison to others.

WC is ok. Not as bad as some think. One can do worse.

I believe inebriation and/or poverty has a lot to do with it.

On the other hand, I went to a Roy Rogers with my dad a couple of days ago, and its food is just as good as I remember. It’s a lingering independently owned one out in Virginia, not one of the franchises that run up and down I-95. The fried chicken is my favorite of any restaurant and their roast beef sandwiches are actual roast beef, sliced into thin sheets from a big roast and piles up on a kaiser roll. No Steakum or Arbys shit.

I don’t understand how KFC came to dominate the market. Its chicken is always soggy and given a choice I’d rather not eat than eat it.

I had heard they were good and then on opened up in Manhattan. I went over, saw how ridiculously cheap the burgers were and walked out.

Anything that cheap cannot be good. If something cost less than a third of the low-end rate, run away!

They're a guilty pleasure for me. Love the Original Sliders with Egg and Cheese. And the Onion Chips, yee-ummm!

There's nothing quite like going to White Castle for crappy food AND surly, rude help.

Shout out to all the sistahs with bad attitude at the WC on Vandeventer Avenue in St. Louis.

You mean they were only $30.00 each in Manhattan?

How could anyone like Bloomberg?

White Castle = Krystal

Never set foot in a WC 'cause they don't have them here.

I like them, though some of their newer menu options on their web site look rather, questionable.

I just stick with the classic sliders, and their onion rings are great.

Sack-o-sliders for $5 at 3AM while drunk driving home... The memories.

White Castle is the best. Krystals is awful though Crystal Gayle named after them is awesome.

Would stop at a WC on my walk home from (elementary) school almost every day in NY. The ones they now sell in supermarkets, while good for sparking memories, don't taste anything like the ones you'd get in a WC. This was in the early 60's, and they were $.25 each; I'd get six and eat them right there. Tasted better than McDonalds burgers do now.

It's greasy cheap fast food - and sometimes you just want that. I get 3 cheeseburgers with extra onions so the cheese melts completely. Then you get a greasy, cheesy, onion bites. Nothing better for a hangover.

Every few months, it's not bad.

My mother gags at the smell - if she bought them for me when I was young, she had to put the bag in the backseat.

I absolutely adore White Castle.

The staff at the ones in Kentucky are delightful.

Old time White Castle radio commercial song :I recall:
