White Castle Loses New York Fast Food Taste Test

they're so much better if you use the oven instead of microwaving them. if you have the patience, at 4 am. haha

Gotta do White Castle right though - get a sack of double cheeseburgers, plus some double fish with cheese, some pulled pork, large french fries, large onion rings, some chocolate shakes, mmmmm.......

In'N'Out Burger is the best. It is a crying shame they aren't in New York.

Five Guys is around the corner from me, and I had it exactly once. Utterly mediocre.

I've given up on McDs and BK unless they are offering some discount; Wendy's is pretty disappointing, too, but they, at least, try.

White Castle cheeseburgers w/ pickles (you have to ask, and make sure they get steamed) are quite tasty, and they do not make me look for a bathroom. You people with sissy stomachs should stick to milkshakes.

White Castle is awesome, these reviewers are morons.

+1

I would like to see the voter stats w/ their hometowns included. I'm sure a bunch of new yorkers who were raised on them would have a different opinion about their beloved sack of belly bombers!

I never would have guessed that one would need to make reservations to eat at White Castle on Valentine's Day.

WTF? White Castle is the bomb. McDonald's burgers are the worst. Wendy's and Burger King are a tie. Wendy's for overall price for quality, and Burger King for better tasting burgers and fresher (relative to fast food) toppings.

Fuck Zagat and their pussy ass rating service... White Castle for life muthafuckas

Fuck dees haterz!!!

Never had a Five Guys burger but if it won, it's probably the priciest one.

Love white castle onion and bread sandwiches/burgers and their onion rings. guess I have a cast iron stomach.

If they rate White Castle on onion rings however, all the competition is screwed!!! BEST RINGS EVERRRRRR!!!

After some whiskey nothing beats getting a sack of White Castle cheeseburgers and a box of Entenmanns chocolate covered doughnuts - one burger, one doughnut, one burger.... and more whiskey to wash it down - keep repeating - it's delicious.

i admit that white castle burgers are a little weird.

when i do crave'em, i can feel a little tension around my stomach, like a hopelessly obsessive romantic. and the only other feeling that i can compare this craving to is "frustration" -- i begin to feel frustrated when i don't have white castle burgers when i crave'em. granted, i haven't had them in years. it must be all'em onions.

speaking of onions, there's something about these burgers that everyone should know, but should never, ever, ever, talk about.

...ok, i'm done.

Doesn't suck after 4 a.m. and a night of drinking.

they're so much better if you use the oven instead of microwaving them. if you have the patience, at 4 am. haha

the real key, and I only know this because I smoke a lot of pot, is to microwave the whole frozen thing in a paper towel for 30 seconds, then separate the burger, toast the burger and lay the buns on top of the toaster, then reassemble.

i do that with frozen pizza!

Whats wrong here..White Castle is open 24/7 and you`re reheating or eating frozen.....blah. Fresh is the only way.

I agree... and I am blessed to have a plethora of Castles at my disposal where I live now, but when I am out of town, and it is 3:00 am and I'm the only one awake and may be a little 'altered' in state, and I know there are frozen White Castles in the freezer... them shits are gettin ate

oops, i misread. but it's pretty much similar. what i do with frozen pizza is i microwave the frozen slice for 42.0 sec, then put it in the oven at 420 for 4 minutes and 20 sec.

yum~

Okay, ""It's the bathroom burger, because after you eat one or a few you have to be near a bathroom..." shows a preconceived idea about the White Castles burger - it does NOT show the results of a taste test.

"The Post ordered all the meaty morsels with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and ketchup for uniformity." And you can't get White Castles with lettuce or tomatoes, so much for uniformity.

What a poorly arranged test. For one thing, if they were serious, they would list the individual restaurants which actually provided the food. Burger King and White Castle in NYC is incredibly irregular in quality.

White Castle is not food, but it is highly 'craveable' and you do eat it. It should be compared to crack and other narcotics instead of Wendy's and Burger King, to be fair.

Wendy's is obviously the best though...

sorry not meant as a reply to ozik

As a Fordham alumni, I can attest to this.

I tried to write "alumnus" and they underscored it as misspelled!

Oh well - I majored in communications.

Actually, you're an Alumnus. If you and a fellow member of your graduating class got together, said group would be referred to as Fordham Alumni.

damn gtraindelay, way to make us look bad with that typo. but yes, at Fordham there were several occasions where we got free White Castle burgers (including a burger eating contest). they were delicious in a "nasty good" type of way.

i wasn't impressed with the Five Guys burger, and it's by far the most expensive option.
