A full level below White Castle.

Spoken like a Yankee. Krystal gives a full meat patty instead of a checkerboard of meat and air.

No White Castles or Krystals where I grew up in Connecticut. If you want more meat, neither are worth consideration, as both are tiny and have a 4:1 bun to meat ratio. It is about the onion juice as much as the meat. If you want more meat, go to Five Guys or Whataburger.

Krystal is an explicit White Castle knockoff, as its founder was largely inspired by his experience of visiting an Illinois White Castle before founding his own restaurant. I lived in southern Georgia for for years, and those of whatever background who tried both prefer White Castle.

Ditto. I tried both frozen at the same time when Krystal sold them in grocery stores and Krystals were better. The best of all ( aside from fresh ) were Krystals that I bought at the restaurant and froze at home. Nearest Krystal is two hours away from me but I’m looking at a trip again soon. I eat all I can there and bring home a 24 pack to freeze for later days.

I know WCs have the holes to make them cook more quickly but it makes me think that someone stepped on the patty with a golf shoe.
