White Castle — Restaurant in Sharonville

Nota bene: This is not anything like an unbiased review - this particular White Castle holds a special place in my heart. I was there the very day it opened; a close friend and I waited outside the doors for the very second the doors first swung wide to admit cheeseburger-craving customers; I ate some of the very first sliders that graced its gleaming, just-settled grill. This was, I think, over a decade ago, and I've been frequenting this wonderful Castle ever since.

That said - even I, someone with deep ties to the US-42 White Castle, can say with confidence that it is an objectively, exceptionally good location to sate one's Crave. All the food is immaculate - made in the slightly slapdash yet highly loving WC tradition. Your cheeseburgers will be hot; your onion chips will snap with golden-brown crisp. So, even removing my deep-set romantic notions, I can tell you truthfully that this is a fantastic restaurant.

But it's hard for me to do so - remove these notions, I mean. I've made more than one Harold & Kumar-esque odyssey in search of the "perfect food" (to borrow a phrase) within its battlements. I've braved miles of sweltering, nausea-inducing heat; I've shivered in a car with no heat to speak of through a brutal Ohio January - simply to get here. And do I regret it, you ask? Did these hurdles and tribulations make the retrieval of fast-food sustenance "not worth it"?

No, I say.

A resounding, reverberating, "Nay!"

I would do it a thousand times over, were the mood right. Were I to be stricken by The Crave, I would tramp through thick brush - I would fight past an army of Black Friday shoppers - I would risk life, limb and soul - simply to set foot through those multifarious, scintillating glass doors and eat cheeseburgers, whether a single slider or in the double digits.

So you're probably reading reviews to answer the question, "Do I want White Castle?" Dear reader - and dare I say, friend - I humbly submit to you that this is not the right question. If I may be so bold, I think the ponderance you're looking for is, "How far am I willing to go to get White Castle?" And the answer to this question should be: "As far as it takes."

The service is pretty fast...

Would give zero stars based solely on the service from one individual but the whole experience wasn’t awful. They told me to go to the first window to pay so I did. When he gave me my change, he didn’t say anything at all so I assumed to go to the next window. The same guy then came to the 2nd window and I said “I’m sorry was I not supposed to move forward ?” And I laughed. he said “no you’re fine” then closed the window and I could hear him making fun of my laugh or me laughing in general, not sure which one. How rude and completely unprofessional. I’ll never be back and I’ll tell everyone I know not to go there. Not to mention I had to wait for over 15 minutes at just the second window for 1 sandwich and an onion chip with no one in front of me when I pulled in. He did eventually let me know it would take another minute with his headphones in lol. The guy who ended up handing me my food seemed nice and polite and the...

I was here last night ordered a medium order, when I get up to pay the 26.00 all they gave me was a receipt saying how much I paid, 2 of them actually. I get home and find 4 double cheese missing, so I go back up there and explain to the two young men and 1 female manager that I was missing said items. I even brought back both receipts only to be told that they could not look up my order, at which point I start to get upset. I mean they pretty much stole 10.00 of my hard earned money. What happened to customer is always right? I mean the manager had nothing but an attitude the hole time. If you have managers like that who would want to work for you? This is by far the worst white castle in town. Pretty much attitudes from everyone working there. Well I intend on going in the morning to get my money back and if I don't I will be calling...
