White Castle open, brings crowds to eat world famous 100 year old burgers! (1921)

To go eat at White Castle in Orlando has turned into a trendy local attraction experience. Is Open and is great!! White Castle in Orlando had lines of clients and patrons waiting hours before its grand opening on May 3rd. The crowds continued all day and night just to experience some food including a recipe dated back to 1921. Yes is a 100 year old recipe that made this burger place famous and 2021 is a special celebration that includes the new store in Orlando which happens to be the largest White Castle from all their 360 + branch restaurants.

We had the experience to preview their amazing food and one thing that caught our attention is the passion and dedication of White Castle employees , some employed by the company for as long as 30 years. The kitchen was perfectly orchestrated with over 40 local employees under the management of Mr. Francis Nation , who has been with the company for over 22 years and moved to Orlando for this job. The company is employing 140 local people and is expected to continue growing and contributing to the local economy.

The food is a classic experience dating back to 1921 , however they have incorporated new menu items like breakfast sandwiches with maple waffles and eg an impossible meat burgers for vegetarians and non meat eaters. We highly recommend the chicken rings and the onion chips, the milkshakes and the classic 1921 combo.

The Orlando Castle – the largest free-standing White Castle in the world – marks the beloved brand’s return to Florida since operating four restaurants in Miami in the 1960s.

Located in southwest Orlando at Unicorp’s $1 billion The Village at O-Town West mixed-use development, White Castle has been long-anticipated by “Cravers” throughout the Central Florida region and beyond. This newest Castle has hired 140 team members and managers.

“You could say our Orlando Castle has been 100 years in the making,” remarked Ingram. “We have been humbled and honored by the warm welcome we have received to date from the Central Florida community. Our vision at White Castle is to ‘feed the souls of craver generations everywhere’ and our mission is to ‘create memorable moments every day’. We can’t wait to meet our new neighbors, whether long-time Cravers or new to the Castle.”
