Shrimp and grits are excellent however it tends to be warm instead of hot. The operation tends to be slow in seating and serving if it’s a weekend. Beyond that, the location is open and airy and feels comfortable.

We really enjoyed our experience at White Castle on Valentine’s Day! Our waitress was very professional and engaging. She connected with us making the experience even more fun. The restaurant was decorated beautifully, making it a very romantic setting. There were flowers and a candle at all the tables. The food was even more delicious. The service was fast and it was nice to have it brought to us. The surprise complimentary cupcake was an extra special treat. I’ll definitely do Valentine’s Day at White Castle again!
