As is sometimes the case, they sounded and smelled better then they actually were, but they were standard. Both new menu items are available at White Castle now through February 24 or while supplies last. Fans can order a five-piece for 1.99, 12-piece for 3.79 or 20-piece for 5.99. I was impressed, especially for a White Castle. Comfort food in all its forms has a habit of being a sit-down affair, but somehow White Castle has managed to give diners mac-and-cheese and Sloppy Joes in to-go packages this season, allowing diners to rush about in a state of holiday panic and still get a little stomach comfort as they go. The Ohio-based fast food brand has also announced new triangular Mac and Cheese Nibblers, which are macaroni and cheddar cheese bites fried in a cheddar batter.
Luckily, the line also moved as fast as a CFA line. I hadn't been on the road long, and didn't want to get out. When I pulled up, they had a Chick-fil-A drive-thru line going on. Thankfully, it was located just off of the exit ramp. Like an eagle, I spied the White Castle logo on one of those green interstate signs, and immediately made a move to the far right lane. grilled chicken, and other leaner offerings as well as sandwiches, bread bowls, macaroni and cheese, bakery treats, and heartier comfort fare.
So, a drive-thru it had to be because I had to "make time". I was heading South and had planned on stopping somewhere else for a sit-down lunch, but due to a bit of procrastination and being on female time, I was late getting on the road. It's just one of those things leftover from childhood that I didn't grow out of. Sloppy joes and fried mac 'n cheese bites are available at White Castle for a limited time.
