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.

White Castle, Krystal, Blue Circle, and Jiffy’s all taste pretty much the same...

Good advice.

Coincidentally. I recently looked up the best brand of pickles. And the best brand is, by popular acclaim...ta da da da...Claussen.

They’re opening up a hamburger joint when the left is saying they are going to outlaw cows. White Castle knows something we don’t.

In Chattanooga, tn in 1970 they made these little square burgers with fried onions. We would go off campus from Tennessee Temple in the middle of the night and get bags of them.

For years WC and Krystal never went into each other’s territories” except for Louisville and Nashville which have both. This WC will be the 1st in Krystal territory.

I remember as a kid back in the 60s, we'd go to White Castle at least one Friday a month.  We'd park in the lot, a waitress would take our order, and then come out and hang a tray over the side window of our car.

Once I reached adulthood, I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been to a White Castle sober and earlier than about 2 in the morning.

Wow. All the haters dogging on White Castle.
White Castle is a classic. An institution of yum with their all night coffee and sliders for us non-elites. Nostalgic and happy thoughts.

Love White Castle. Glad it’s around even if I don’t go too often. It’s a classic. Sliders for deplorables.

Basically chop up some burgers, add celery, onions and some seasoning and a bit of chicken broth. Love it!

(But we substituted KFC for turkey on Thanksgiving about 15 years ago. (My mom didn’t like to cook!))

Holy Toledo, that’s a seriously large jar of pickles. What kind of Claussen’s do you like? I don’t know yet, because I have to try them. I have sandwich sliced pickle’s on my grocery list.
