Frozen White Castle Cheeseburgers Video Review (Ep207)

23 Aug, 2009

Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master

The Frozen Food Master has had many a White Castle Cheeseburger in his day but never one from the freezer aisle. The steamed burger patties, the onion flavoring, the patented 5 holes. It’s all there in the frozen food version of these notorious burgers. But will they be a good choice for those who have never tried White Castle before?

I live in Pennsylvania right next to the Maryland border…there are no White Castle locations within any driving range of me.

But my dad went to New York years ago and saved a WhiteCastle burger for me, and when I got it, even though it was like a day old and it was all dried out and crusty, I ate it, and it was the best fast food burger I ever had in my life!

White Castle is pretty good but there was this one burger shop in Kansas that made the best little burgers I've ever had. I forget the name of it though.

Great review! These are actually often made the exact way they are at restaurants, with the holes being used to allow steam to vent up through the patty and cook it faster. In regards to your onion dispute, standard restaurant White Castle burgers do in fact come with onions

I very much enjoyed this review, and agree with everything you said. We recently got a white castle here in my town, and I overeat everytime I go there like I did when going to white castle was a special occasion thing and I needed to load up as much as possible.

that was cool, i guess you switched to auto focus? but it focused and sharpened when you brought the burger close to the cam

thanks for the great review

I like the frozen version, when I used to buy them I would eat all six, there is no way you can't eat them all.

As you mention the bread isn't quite, quite as good as the ones in the actual fast food joint, but it is pretty darn good.

I can honestly say I've never eaten White Castle sober. In my clubbing years back in Jersey I still remember rolling through the WC drive-thru after the bars had closed and getting burgers and fries with that fluorescent orange cheese on top. Good times.

Ok, now you have peaked my interest! I'm going to go get some White Castle and some frozen White Castle and do a direct comparison. I am curious just how close they really do come. If real Whit Castle is better you have to come to Indiana and share some with me

So glad you reviewed this!

Ugh… White Castle… I *hate* White Castle. Gristle and rotten onions… no thanks!

I do agree with you on one thing though; these frozen White Castle burgers really do taste the same as the ones you get from an actual White Castle “restaurant” (if you can call it that). This frozen product was actually my first experience with White Castle burgers, years ago… I couldn't stand them… and later, when I had the misfortune of tasting them straight from the restaurant, I found that they tasted exactly the same as the frozen ones. Interestingly enough, I found the buns on these “burgers” to be sort of stale and waterlogged in both the frozen and the restaurant versions.

I actually do enjoy the flavor of grilled onions on a burger; so the onions themselves aren't the reason for my intense hatred of White Castle (although the quantity of onions is a bit too much for my liking)… I think that the onions taste and smell rotten, and the burger patties are made up of more grease and gristle than actual meat, which incidentally seems more like a generic “meat paste” rather than anything resembling real ground beef. Okay… don't want to think about it anymore… must repress the memory…

One final note: I'm only giving my own opinion here, based on my own personal taste, and taste is *always* subjective… I mean no disrespect to people who like White Castle, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

(Although in this case, my opinion happens to be the right one.)

I can has REAL cheezburger now, plz?

I guess these won't be for me, I am not a fan of onions. Just like Ms. FFM I need some pickles on my burger too!

I meant to say that they come with pickles. I'm not sure how I made that mistake.

I hit up White Castle a couple months back and got a TON of stuff to sample. I've never had the frozen food version but I'm very curious to see how similar they are. Identical you say? Hmmmm.

I have not had White Castle, but I do love me some Krystal. Anyone?

Sadly I do not have access to either now that I am on the west coast. This review may be enough for me to put pride aside and buy these next time I am at the store (along with my Amy's meals).

I haven't watched any of your videos in awhile and I was shocked by the weird, dyed faux-hawk thing you have going on. Get rid of that at once. You aren't 18-years-old anymore.

$3.77 ? I wish !! Here in Manhattan they cost $5.99 in the supermarket, or a whopping $11 in the convenience store. No kidding!!

I think you just sold me on them. I’ll scrape off the onions, but I’m going to try and pick some up for lunch today.

Thanks for the thorough review. Just missing the Ketch & Must though.
yum

I’ve had these before but now I’ve got the urge to go grab some more today.

“I’ve had many buns in my mouth”, then a quick glance to mrs. FFM lol good one!
