Look out Cinderella, there’s a new castle in Central Florida.
The world’s largest White Castle has officially opened in Orlando.

The massive 4,567-square-foot restaurant is located in The Village at O-Town West at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Parkway off Interstate 4.
Hundreds of fans of the chain’s famous hamburger sliders lined up, camping out overnight or arriving early Monday to be the first in line for the restaurant’s opening.
The location is now the largest White Castle in the world with indoor and outdoor seating and two drive-thru lanes.
“We do know we have lots of cravers throughout Florida & we figured we start in the center. The heart of it all and create the largest White Castle here in Central Florida,” Lisa Ingram, President & CEO said.
The new White Castle is located not far from the attractions.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said the location is great as he expects more tourists to visit Central Florida this summer.
“The summer is just really a blockbuster summer for us our hotels and our conventions are going to be working at a record pace so I’m excited about what that will mean for our community,” Demings said.
White Castle brought 140 new jobs to Orange County and is the largest White Castle in the world.

Is the line social distancing?
No, thanks. I want a big fat burger with all the fixings.
Who would wait hours in line to buy laxatives?
Can’t wait for the Saturday night fight videos to begin!!
I love those original rat burgers. Good onion rings too.
I grew up with Krystals. Nothing better.
Good thing the supply of toilet paper is plentiful..
It’s no better than Crystal.
After bar closing time in my late teens, can still remember doing 12-15 of these at a time. It was more like inhaling them, not eating them.
Fond memories when you could fill up on 75 cents...
White Castle fed me much of the way through grad school...
Haha
And with 140 employees, it’s still 45 minutes to get your order.
I like White Castle, but their service makes a sloth look fast.
You're not kidding. I hope they have the world's largest fast food restaurant bathrooms.
Sheeple are pathetic. Camping out over night for fast food ... no wonder so many Americans are fat.
As bad as White Castle is, I grew up on it in Michigan and missed it in Texas (the frozen ones were not the same). Always got my fix when back home.
Even Krystal’s isn’t quite the same but will do in a pinch.
Rat Burger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdld7SqnIxE
Bowling Green KY has both. I spent a night there and got to try both (for science). Krystals has the better chicken sandwich. Otherwise pretty comparable.
Confession:
Though the White Castle is a sh!tty little burger I love ‘em.
It’s the onion steam.
I’ve made them at home and they are better.
Use thin dinner rolls (commercial rolls they sell at Thanksgiving), FINELY diced white onion, salt and pepper on the slow cooked little burgers.
Then put a few onion slices in the bottom of a rice cooker or stew pot with water and add a steaming screen/grate. Once the water is steaming, add the burgers, cover and steam for one minute. Two if you like ‘em gooey.
Yes we woofed them down at end of late nite dates. Cheap but yummy. Slow slow service.
