White Castle — Restaurant in Columbus

This is one of the few remaining options to eat at at 3AM on a weekend. And oh boy, does it deliver, and sometimes the next day. I've been here several times, usually unwittingly due to few choices about. I'd honestly eat here than that overpriced by the slice pizza place.

Food is typical White Castle. What makes it special is the grime, the grift, and the possible threat of imminent violence. It's entertaining if you are in the right mindset. A veritable theme park of hungry alcohol fueled maniacs.

The parking lot is trashed, literally. Filthy. Stained with who knows what and White Castle themed detritus strewn about. Maybe they should name it Grey Castle? Anyway, it's a really classy joint. I once saw someone throw an empty bottle of booze outside their car window while in the drive through line. I'm sure that bottle is still there somewhere, home to a pair of rats or something.

Yeah, probably best not talk to anyone who is a pedestrian after 9pm here. The doors are locked anyway. The money they ask for is probably not for food. Well, maybe, but they won't serve anyone who isn't in a car. Good luck.

Speaking of, best to keep a 1/2 car length between you and the vehicle in front, just in case you need to skedaddle due to heavy feelings and flared tempers in the immediate area.

One question I've always wondered: How is it all of their food smells like onions even if they are not cooked with onions? How is it that I smell like onions? It's like some magical White Castle miasma that permeates all matter within 50 ft of the place and follows you around like a stinky ghost. Seriously, people can tell when I ate there 3 days later.

I've always had good service when I use my Ps and Qs, some of you should do so too. I've gotten mounds of tarter sauce when they still had clam strips. That is a crime by the way. Worst decision ever for a...

I live in California but whenever I come home to Columbus my FIRST stop is always White Castle, I just love them. I love them so much that they are worth dealing with the bad attitudes & terrible service from the staff. I walked into this location, the young woman simply stepped to the register and stared blankly and not even at me. It wasn't until I determined she wasn't listening to an order from the drive-thru that I decided to greet HER. The only words she spoke to me was "$11.93" 5 minutes later a second woman simply tosses my bag of food on the counter and turns away. I left with my food, which did have the mustard and ketchup I asked for or the side of onion chips but I decided to enjoy these old friends without complaint. If my regular ordering was met with such disdain I could only imagine how they would handle a complaint. Sadly, this is NOT an isolated incident nor is it localized to this location. I went to 3 other locations and had similar experiences. White Castle corporate should truly make some unannounced visits to see their employees in action, the leadership would be very disappointed with what they'd find. Thank goodness the burgers...

The staff were extremely unwelcoming and were insulting customers. "Why can't they just know exactly what they want?" "They take so long." and things of the such. Now, I don't totally blame them, because I understand the feeling, but this was my first time going to Whitecastle for breakfast, and frankly, I had no idea what the breakfast options were. There was an option for "Breakfast Sliders" whatever that meant, and when I was asked "what kind?" for someone else had to finish taking my order because the first person was so irritated by my question of "what are my options?" when there is no way of knowing what your options are. The menu doesn't differentiate between normal sliders and breakfast sliders, so I had no idea what kind I wanted. This is more than likely the fault of the menu, but as an employee, you should be able to understand the nuances of your menu and what flaws are present, and not be surprised when the SAME QUESTION is asked. It's not that difficult to put two and two together, especially when you take a ten second look...
