We had a party of seven and when we got there, we did not have to wait. Our table was ready for us. Our waitress was very friendly and so nice to talk to. She made us feel comfortable right away. She got our drinks and bread almost immediately. My wife and grandson were going to split a meal so she had them put on separate plates to make it easier for us to enjoy our meal we all had different entrées and they were excellent. My wife ordered the fried pork chops because she has a hard time finding good fried pork chops anywhere in the area. She said they were excellent very good batter and the meat was moist and tender.We really enjoyed our experience and will definitely go back.

Everything at White Castle for their Valentine’s Day special was good. It’s kind of a neat experience. Only thing we noticed is they could’ve used a little bit more help took a while to get the food but other than that everything was good.
