For over eight decades, White Castle fed the souls of craver generations on this very site. Creating countless memorable moments, and feeding the souls of craver generations along the way. In fact, we estimate that we served over 105 million hamburgers close to where you now stand. No worries, we are still here where we've always been - part of the Whiting community!
As you pause to enjoy your day, close your eyes and relax for just a moment - you might just catch a hint of steam-grilled onions in the air. Walk on over - we would love the chance to create some memorable moments for you and your family and friends at our new Castle. Crave on!
