Northwest
Indiana Restaurant Review |
White
Castle - a truly unique dining experience |
Yep, It's time
for another totally low-budget restaurant review, since
NorthwestIndiana.com does not pay for my dining excursions. And if
you're pinching pennies, it doesn't get much better that White Castle. |
Been a while
since you've been to White Castle? Come on. Do it just for
fun. Down some Slyders. Next time everyone is in the car,
deliberating over Chinese ("Oh... we had Chinese last week.")
or Mexican (No, Shannon doesn't like Mexican."), just stop the
madness and insist that you all go to White Castle. |
There are plenty
of White Castles near. The White Castle web site www.whitecastle.com
offers these locations: |
East 81st @ U.S.
30 & Broadway Merrillville
Rt. 421 & Rt. 20 Michigan City
45th & Calumet Munster
Rt. 41 & Rt. 30 Schererville
Rt. 30 & S.R. 2 Valparaiso
Indianapolis Blvd. @ 119th Street Whiting |
Throw all
ambiance and culinary snobbery to the wind and create your own sampler
platter. Here is just a portion of the menu items: |
Hamburger
Cheeseburger
Onion Rings
French Fries
Chili
Vanilla Shake
Jalapeno Burger
Chicken Rings
Cheese Sticks |
You may find the
steam grilled burgers a bit on the soggy side; seems the buns are a
little mushy for my palate. Still, I always find White Castle to
be a fun trip and a unique taste. The Slyders go great with
shakes. (Ya know, the combination just seems to do the trick for
cutting the grease. But then, it's good grease.) |
One concern or
complaint I have locally, for the Merrillville White Castle (which is
the one I dine at most often), is the messy floor. They are
downright grotesque. During the winter time with people dredging
in the sloppy snow, the floor of this White Castle is hideous. But
I'm afraid it's not just the season that is at fault. It seems
this restaurant's floor is always a mess. |
So just grab your
Slyders, and keep your eyes on the prize. I know you won't be
expecting an elegant evening of dining. I mean, come on, it's
White Castle. But to me, that's the fun of it. So grab the
crew and have a fun evening out. |
