"In nearly 12 months since the grand opening, the restaurant has become the top performer among White Castle's more than 350 restaurants, on pace to sell 5 million Sliders by its anniversary date," says an official press release.

"Besides selling a record number of hot-and-tasty Sliders of all varieties, the Orlando location used 40,000 freshly cracked eggs to make its tantalizing breakfast Sliders, which are sold all day long – a new White Castle record. If stacked end to end, the eggs used since last May would encircle Lake Eola more than once.

""We had so many loyal fans in Central Florida who were eagerly anticipating White Castle's arrival, but the response this past year has far exceeded our expectations," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "Everyone in the Orlando area has been so warm and welcoming, and they have a Crave the size of the Sunshine State."

"Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings said, "We salute White Castle on a record-breaking first year in Central Florida and thank them for creating jobs for our residents. White Castle's presence has added to a blockbuster year for our hotels and convention business, and we expect that pace to continue this summer."

"The opening of the Orlando Castle – the largest free-standing White Castle in the world – marked the beloved brand's return to Florida since operating four restaurants in Miami in the 1960s. White Castle, a 101-year-old family-owned business, has more than 350 restaurants in 13 states.

Located in southwest Orlando at Unicorp's $1 billion The Village at O-Town West mixed-use development, White Castle employs 120 team members and managers, accommodates 200 guests, and features televisions, free WIFI and a kitchen that's entirely visible from the dining room. It has a Coca-Cola^® Freestyle machine that has served over 63,000 gallons of Coca-Cola^® Freestyle soft drinks the past year – enough to fill the average residential swimming pool 3½ times!

"Our vision at White Castle is to 'feed the souls of craver generations everywhere' and our mission is to 'create memorable moments every day,'" Richardson continued. "We have loved every minute meeting our new neighbors, whether long-time Cravers or new to the Castle."

"We are so glad to have a Castle in Orlando," Richardson said. "Even through and beyond the height of the pandemic, we continue to renew acquaintances and make new friends every day. We're so thankful for our team members and all they do to serve up that one-of-a-kind, steamed-grilled taste our customers love and crave."

"If you live in the South, you've probably heard of White Castle, but never tried them. Best comparison you might know is Krystal. If you expect a gourmet burger, this isn't for you. But if you want a satisfying steamed slider, you should try it at least once because it is an iconic food item."

"Although you may have to wait, all the sliders are hot and fresh. This is the 1st and only location in Florida. They are much better than what you can get up North. Always have to stop in for a visit when in Orlando, now. Fries are fresh as well as sliders, they have a Free-Style touch screen for drinks on their coke products."

"A nice new clean restaurant. The original classic slider was as delicious as it was back in the day. The lines get very long. Go at an off time. It was my breakfast and there wasn't a wait."

"We had 4 sliders each, these are quite small but full of flavour and good value for money." \

"A large, clean and efficiently run White Castle outpost. The sliders are just the way they're supposed to be and they serve the best breakfast out of all the fast food places."
