Average Public Rating
Aggregated across Yelp, Google & TripadvisorWhat Reviewers Praise Most

Frequently Asked Questions
Concise answers to common White Castle questions.
Is White Castle America's first fast food hamburger chain? ▼
Yes. White Castle opened in 1921 in Wichita, Kansas, and is widely credited as the first fast food hamburger chain in the country, predating McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's by decades. Read the full story in our White Castle history guide.

Yes. White Castle's Original Slider uses a 100% USDA beef patty prepared with onions and served with a pickle. Check complete specifications in our ingredient transparency guide.
