Golden Castle

Back into town after a few years. Been to the sister truck Golden Tiger (which continues to be as delicious as before). Decided to swing by and get some of the infamous sliders, oh my, so good! Juicy and tasty, add the onion rings, they are equally as yummy.

It’s what you remember White Castle as, only without the disappointing realization… it’s nostalgia come to life at golden castle with their delicious steamed hams.

Had the sliders and onion rings for the first time. The sliders are rather addicting and a very good size (especially when comparing against chains). The onion rings were like having some at the fairgrounds. Cannot wait to go back and there’s a nice patio outside to eat if you want to eat and grab a drink from King Bees.

I appreciate Golden Castle trying something new, but from someone who grew up with White Castle, there is definitely room for improvement. The basic format of a WC slider is there; slider roll, melted cheese, minced onion, mustard, pickle. The missing components are the steaming process, which make the burger basically melt into your mouth, and the distinctive grease (maybe its butter?) that add another layer of fat flavor and also carries the other ingredient flavors throughout the bun. I could be unbelievably off target with my suggestions, but regardless, something essential is missing for Golden Castle to really satisfy that craving.

If there's better bar food than greasy sliders, I'd like to know what it is. I'm going to go out on a limb and say these sliders are noticeably better than the actual White Castle. Plus, since the cart is at the bar, you don't have to leave the bar to get them. Very convenient.
