For Valentine’s Day, do you need an inexpensive place to go for a meal? Are you a fan of White Castle? Do you crave your holiday to feel like a middle school dance, complete with paper streamers and pink tablecloths? Well, make reservations at any of the 300 participating White Castles for Feb. 14 from 4 to 9 pm.
The fun day is possible by making reservations through OpenTable. It is a tradition that started in 1991. White Castle fans and lovers can look forward to being greeted by a transformed restaurant complete with streamers, heart decorations and colorful tablecloths. Orders are served table side, and there is a special Valentine’s menu sporting many White Castle favorites and combos. Some are even meals for two.
According to White Castle’s press release, “In addition to the everyday value on White Castle menus, diners on Valentine’s Day also will be able to enjoy these extra-special deals:
- $5 Sloppy Joe Combo (two Sloppy Joe Sliders, small French fry and small soft drink)
- $6.99 Sloppy Joe Six Pack (any combination of six Sloppy Joe Sliders).”
Personally, those items are not what I gravitate to, and I got excited from a Reddit article which made me expect more strawberry or waffle options. For some reason I was picturing ordering a box which I think was their to go option. (https://tinyurl.com/2jummd4d). But I did get some very big, NEW crispy chicken sliders and delicious shrimp nibblers. My date was happy with his bacon cheese sliders and even called my shrimp “really good” despite not usually being a fan of shrimp.
It did feel like the purpose of the event was to celebrate in a cute, themed way and intimately serve people at the tables. The staff had fun with it and restaurant goers were tipping well when we attended around 5 PM.
Next year, if you want to take part in the festivities, make reservations through OpenTable and follow the event at White Castle’s web page.
