5 reviews for White Castle
Okay, I had to try a White Castle in Harlem. It was everything I expected, customers cursing at the staff, people getting frustrated by the wait and of course the bullet proof windows between the staff and customers kept me giddy for my little burgers. The burgers were greasy and the fires were salty. What else do you want me to write?

I miss White Castle. Those little steamed burgers with tiny bits of onions makes for a mouth-watering late night meal. I miss them so much I dream about them, and wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats, drooling on my pillow.
Yes it was a slyders wet dream.
Seriously, the only way I can get those burgers are the frozen family packs I get at the supermarket. But it just taste so much greasier and better when you get them from here, even though I feel like I'm going to get shanked here. I will never come here at night, no matter how hungry I am.

I really love White Castle. Whenever I am in Manhattan, I try to hit up this one. One real problem… Read more »
My sister got me a 4-5 of these White Castle sliders. You can't just have one. Once you start poppin' them in, you just have to keep going!
meh is the most accurate description. mcdonald's is better for a similar little patty experience.
I was in Harlem yesterday, and I thought, I ain't never had a White Castle Burger before, I guess I'll go and try one (or four). I got in there and the experience was totally complete. The registers were covered in glass to prevent robberies, the soda machine was shut off ("so the crazies don't come in here with a plastic bag and fill it up" according to the register) and the really friendly lady at the next table chatted with us about the neighborhood (while dealing drugs) Can't say I didn't experience the real Harlem.
As for the food, exactly what I expected: greasy, tasty, and just a tiny bit questionable. The sliders were greasy heaven in a box (though any more than four would probably make me throw up) and the fries with honey mustard was a good flavor combination. As was expected, one of my friends found a hair in one of her sliders, and I bit into something slightly fishy from my fry box when I wasn't paying attention. All in all, it was a trip I will not soon forget, a true Harlem experience.
