Dick's also pays their employees very well, pays for their college, and adjusts their schedule to suit their classes. All because they believe in retaining trained, efficient people.
IDK, the quality certainly never really changed. Same standards and policies. Everything was very buttoned down (as is the norm). There are actually two grills in most of the locations. If one acts up we would just adjust to the other. If any one employee's salt is wrong (ect) it would be abundantly obvious to the manager and corrections would be made immediately.
I’ve been a few of times in the last two years when I’ve been in town. They’re.. fine. I wasn’t blown away, but definitely can see how it’s a go-to when inebriated.
They are only the same in the cheap, quick, and no special order type of things. But for me personally, I'll pick a fried burger over a steamed one just for the texture difference. Gimme that Deluxe with the wilted lettuce and those floppy ass fries at Dick's.
Yeah dick’s is incredible value too. $3 for a burger that’s actually fresh these days is great. And they pay their employees well + pay for education IIRC.
This could literally be me😆. I lost my mam when i was 16yo and actually used to sleep at the graveyard sometimes. And i had long black hair and white irish skin. Spooky
Nah, she was buried in Inverin, Co. Galway. Its a very secluded graveyard on the west atlantic coast of ireland. Its up a tiny road and on the coastline. So ppl werent there after dusk. And the ppl who frequented knew me cause id skip school too and hang there at the beginning. But def if someone would have shown up, i would have scared them lol. But it was so dark too. Definitely wasnt healthy or normal but losing her was just life shattering for me. Its a long time ago now, i can chuckle about the idea of it all
Thank you🙂. Lol yes the image is crazy😆. I used to sit there during the day in my school uniform. Probably a bit freaky for tourists i can image. Tourists love the irish graveyards.
I've had both and definitely prefer Krystal but I think it says more about the quality of drinking I do in New Orleans than it does about either chain.
I had it once in the middle of the night, because it was the only thing open. It was easily one of the worst places I've ever eaten. Just soggy, bland, little Walmart frozen grade burgers. I legitimately question how they stay open.
When I was in college, my buddy and I stopped at Krystals coming back from a show. We were going to get ten, I think, but the kid behind the counter was like, I only have enough buns to make like 30 more burgers, then I have to close. Is it cool if I give you 30 but only charge you for 10? We said hells yeah. Then we got back to the dorm, ate fifteen each, and played Goldeneye. Christ I miss being young.
Its a copycat of white castle and mostly in the south. White castle innovates and then Krystal introduces it a few years later. White castle sliders have a unique, iconic flavor that Krystal doesn't have, some hate it too. Krystal taste like a mid mini burger.
Straight to the toilet 30 minutes after eating. They are amazing when you’re starving, drunk, or stoned. Every so often you just crave that onion coated goodness though. Nothing like a 10 sack of sliders with cheese and a large Big Red.
Yeah onions are pretty much the food I hate most. So I absolutely hates WC. They even cook them with the onions, so me ordering "no onions" didn't help
30 years ago White Castle was amazing. They were cooked in massive batches, fresh, on a flat top right in front of you. They were epic greasy diner sliders and anytime someone went to pick someone up from the airport, they also had to bring back a. 30 pack or were not allowed back in the house.30 year later they taste like it’s 30 years later.
Exactly this. I grew up in White Castle’s home base. Had friends whose families worked in the corporate offices. It was always the 2:00am drunk food. Stagger over to Whitey’s from the bar after closing and grab a stack of sliders to choke down before crawling back home and passing out.
White Castle doesn't hold up anymore. Like most fast food they have had price increases but the quality compared to price is criminal for them. They're the worst by far and if a McDonald's was open my drunk ass would willingly wait 15 minutes in that "fast food" drive through to dodge the septic tank leavings that white castle produces.

I’m from Vancouver but I went to Chicago and then drove to southern Indiana . Stopped in Gary (yeah I know) and went to white castle because of this movie.. I knew it would be bad but I still needed to get the sliders.. mehhhhhhhhhh!!!…
Can confirm. Went to a DMB concert and smoked weed and tripped on shrooms. Went to White Castle after the show and purchased over $150 of food. There was three of us.
Yeah I ate White Castle for the first time while drinking some cutwater a couple weeks ago and it was pretty good, can’t say it’d be as good sober though
