I've been going to Vegas on a regular basis for years now & I finally decided to visit White Castle. It had been a long time coming. My mom was from Chicago. During my youth, she often shared her fond memories of them. When White Castle hit the grocery stores in the frozen food section, Mom was thrilled! She certainly bought them and I certainly ate them. :)
I will say that the fresh version of WC burger is definitely better than the frozen. I ordered two jalapeƱo cheese sliders to fill my intoxicated gut. They certainly did the trick!
Service was good, burgers were pretty much what I expected but better because I had already tried the frozen product. I did see a lot of negative reviews about the taste of the burger. I honestly think it's somewhat of an acquired taste. It's not going to be everyone's thing.
This is by no means a gourmet burger. It's not meant to be either so if that is what one is expecting, save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere. Flippin' Burgers would be a better choice. This burger can be easily compared to a regular McDonald's hamburger in slider form, but the WC bun in superior in my opinion but I like the meat from MD's better.
Yes, the price is high, but about what you'd expect in the heart of touristy DT Vegas. Isn't everything else with the exception of the occasional "breakfast or steak/prime rib specials" which have to be purchased within a specified timeframe???
I believe this is definitely a great place for the drunchies or just to grab a quick bite in general. The wait wasn't too bad on a Saturday afternoon. I could definitely see myself coming back here in the future if the line is not super long.
