White Castle, the world\u2019s first fast-food hamburger chain famous for its square and steamed beef burgers known as \u201csliders,\u201d is once again transforming more than 300 participating restaurants into \u201cLove Castles\u201d on Feb. 14 in honor of Valentine\u2019s Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0White Castle hosted its first one-night-only sit-down Valentine\u2019s Day dinner in 1991, and 35 years later, the event has grown into a cult classic among White Castle<\/a> fans, affectionately known as \u201cCravers,\u201d offering a warm, joyful alternative to crowded restaurants and overpriced menus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The one-of-a-kind celebration transforms the iconic fast-food restaurant into a festive, sit-down dining destination complete with hostess seating, tableside service, and Valentine\u2019s Day d\u00e9cor throughout the Castle, and Lovebirds seeking a more low-key celebration of their everlasting adoration for each other \u2014 or who were too late to the table to score a reservation at their favorite restaurant \u2014 will enjoy a decadent cuisine of Sliders, Shrimp Nibblers, Strawberry and Cream Waffles and other noteworthy menu items.<\/p>\n

This year, the popular Shrimp Nibblers are making a return and are available in two tasty flavors, Sriracha or Classic. Strawberry and Cream Waffles with special heart sprinkles end the meal with a sweet note. Couples who visit White Castle during the Valentine\u2019s Day weekend will also be able to choose from four Share A Meals for just $9.95 each.<\/p>\n

Jamie Richardson, chief marketing officer at White Castle, described the fun alternative to a traditional dinner as a memory-filled experience for couples, families, and friends alike.<\/p>\n

\u201cValentine\u2019s Day at White Castle is about more than dinner out at a restaurant. It\u2019s about creating moments people remember and talk about for years,\u201d he said. \u201cFor 35 years, our team members have poured their hearts into making this night special, and that care and attention is what keeps guests coming back year after year.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Brooklyn, \u201cCravers\u201d can make a reservation at OpenTable.com<\/a> for a one-of-a-kind Valentine\u2019s Day experience to celebrate their love at participating White Castle locations at 1545 Myrtle Ave. in Bushwick and 900 Pennsylvania Ave. in East New York.<\/p>\n

However, according to Richardson, reservations fill up quickly at many locations, and he encourages \u201cCravers\u201d to reserve a spot as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people don\u2019t realize how popular Valentine\u2019s Day at White Castle is until they experience it for themselves. And love doesn\u2019t stop with Valentine\u2019s Day \u2013 we have couples who will actually marry in White Castles later this year,\u201d Richardson noted.<\/p>\n

The family-owned, Ohio-based business will also celebrate its commitment to the community with a fundraiser for the Red Cross Disaster Relief through its Castle Shares initiative from January 31 through February 13. Guests can purchase a Red Cross for $1, $3, or $5 at all White Castle restaurants, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Participating White Castle locations will transform into \u201cLove Castles\u201d to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day.
