White Castle’s new Ohio State-area location offers unique touches
For the first time in its 82-year history in Columbus, White Castle finally has a presence in the Ohio State University campus area.
And it’s not just any White Castle. It’s built for fast-moving, tech-savvy students, who can punch in an order on their phone and bypass the cash register to pick up a sack of sliders.
The locally based burger chain has built a 2,550-square-foot, two-story Castle — with its trademark white façade and blue logo — at 2106 N. High St.
The store has taken over an old Radio Shack just south of Lane Avenue and within a chicken ring’s throw of Ohio Stadium.
“I think the location was key — finding the right property,” said Ed Bennett, district supervisor for the chain.
The interior features a pristine exhibition kitchen that can cook more than 400 burgers at a time, a game-day necessity, store officials figure.
Giving a nod to the Ohio State Buckeyes with vintage photographs, the new White Castle seats 47 people in the main dining room and another 18 in the lounge-style room on the second floor.
Perhaps best of all, the store is open 24 hours for those students cramming for exams and wanting to stuff down a few sliders. A cup of coffee is only a buck. Wi-Fi is free and available throughout the store. Among the menu items are breakfast sliders, served all day.
“We wanted to get our students, our customers, in 24 hours a day,” said Theresa Kaszubski, regional director of restaurant operations for White Castle. “A lot of our competitors are not open all night.”
A new feature is the Crave Box, not to be confused with the slider-filled Crave Case. The box a mobile-order pickup area where customers can retrieve their orders from to-go boxes that use special-access codes. The restaurant also will accept BuckID payment.

)

They aren't? I last had In-N-Out in the Dallas area the day of The Game '16 and remember it being roughly the same pricing as Five Guys. I could be wrong, though; and you definitely get more food at Five Guys. I've never actually finished my fries from there.

Ya for one, in and out is definitely cheaper. For two, it gets a little closer since the fries feed 2-4.

Huh, didn't remember it being that cheap. But, anyway, pricing aside, i still prefer Five Guys. I think both their fries and burgers are superior. Now, if the one here would just get milkshakes...Ya for one, in and out is definitely cheaper. For two, it gets a little closer since the fries feed 2-4.

Oregon just got it's third In and Out and inching closer to Portland--Keizer (@muffler dragon you used to live there, right?). Pretty funny how they're dealing with the crowds by using the minor league ball park's parking lot across the way. Honestly, when I lived in LA I'd hit it but wouldn't go out of my way. Really can't see waiting in that kind of line for fast food. And we got Burgerville anyways. But hey...

I've had In and Out. Taken my family to In and Out.
Still don't quite get what makes it any different than some of the other burger chains out there.
Maybe it's a back in time situation where all there used to be were McD's, BK, etc. And it was maybe different then? Still like Wendy's better.
And, yep, we were in Keizer. Trying to determine where exactly that is, because I don't remember a minor league baseball stadium. Granted, we left in Jan 2013.

Salem-Keizer Volcanoes! Been there since the 90s. The first Keizer exit if you're coming southbound from PDX--right next to I-5 (used to be about all that was there but a bunch of retail now also).I've had In and Out. Taken my family to In and Out.
