  Decent place relative to the chain overall.  Cashier has some language barrier issues and never gives you a drink cup at time of order.  
  
  The kitchen also appears understaffed during lunch hour, resulting in a longer wait then one would expect.

  So Harold and Kumar love this place right? Seen the movie, they moved heaven and Earth to get here.  I live in California and only see these burgers in the freezer section in the grocery store and never buy them because I don't think it will do the chain justice.  But while I'm in Chicago, I guess I better try it and see what was so great about it right? Right.
  
  Well the place was quiet on a Saturday around noon.  There were two boys eating together.  I got the original Slider combo with crinkly fries and a drink of my choice.  Fine, that's cool.  I got 4 sliders with cheese, a patty and some onion.  Was it good? Decent.  I didn't think it was the best thing in the world, but it wasn't horrible either.  Maybe the hype from the movie set my expectations so high.  It was decent, but I think there are better burgers out there.  But something to check off my list as having completed.

  No visit back to Chi-town is complete for me without one or my first stop at White Castle.  Now, I'm probably grossing out my more high brow Cali friends, but this is pure nostalgia for me.   I remember White Castle as a kid thinking how cool those square burgers were.   Anyway, I ordered a half dozen sliders and onion rings.  Onion rings were great and ah, yes, the sliders were greasy but definitely worth any gastronimical discomfort later.  I was already full with four but I figured when will I be back for more?

  Only ate the frozen burgers since they are not out in LA....so had to have it once in Chicago...
  
  I must say...this place rocks!  What I was amazed about was the different varieties...chicken, fish, mushroom and garlic...haha...fat man's fantasy!  They also had grape soda! (not sure if it was in all white castle's or maybe it was the demographic area i was in)
  
  Had only a few the first time but after a wedding i went to a few days later...6 of us had 60 burgers! We ordered two CRAVE CASES!  drunk off our asses and these burgers tasted damn good!  Now they just need some tapatio or sricha to add to the flavor!
  
  All of them were good except the plain old hamburger one.  
  
  Love it here!  Definitely late night drunk food!

  Come on!!!  What is the hype?  They are miniature McD's cheeseburgers for 79 cents - airy bun, flavorless patty.  The only thing that imparts flavor is the special A-1 sauce if you get the A-1 burger, but really now.  In N Out RULES - actually you know what, McD's rules over White Castle.  If its 3:30am, I'm drunk and it STILL doesn't taste good, there is a serious problem because everything tastes good at that hour.  Take that!!!

  This is the White Castle location that I go to most often....at least once every 2-3 months.  My favorite are the Jalapeno Cheeseburgers.  (Singles - I tried doubles once but they didn't melt the same!)  Drive thru service is pretty good - never had a problem, especially at 2 or 3 in the morning!  Love it!

  This is one of the only places open at 4am when you are prowling the streets for a snack. The food is cheap and will quell your hunger. They have a breakfast menu for 5-10:30am, but I've never tried it. White Castle in my book is a late-night food stop (11-5am) since they are open 24 hours.
  
  The staff were quick and very friendly when I visited. However, the food is a little too greasy to make a habit out of.

  I always try to order the new items on their menu.  This time around it was the garlic cheese slider.  Very garlicky.  I still think the double cheeseburger is the best selection because the meat/bun combo is balanced.  I personally feel there is not enough meat on the normal sliders and the bun imbalance adds to the bloat after 2 or 3.  
  
  I do try to live on the wild side.  This means I order these two items all the time.  The two deadliest items are the chicken rings and the side of cheese sauce.  The chicken rings are novelties that you should try.  Substandard chicken, lightly breaded, shaped as a Cheerio on steroids.  Mediocre on its own, but try it in a sandwich (2 or 3 chicken rings in a bun) or with the side of cheese sauce.
  
  The cheese sauce is neon yellow as people describe.  It does have the texture of Elmer's glue, but wow, it does dress up a sack of fries or chicken rings.  
  
  Oh yeah, the service was a bit slow, but they are super nice.
  
  Sad to say, I consumed this order from this location late at night... with  a Diet Coke.
