White Castle is delicious, otherwise people would not eat it. There are so many other choices! It's a ridiculous restaurant idea to serve burgers much smaller than would fill any appetite, unless you eat at least four. And yet, like so many ridiculous things such as the "Las Ketchup" song or the "Milkshake" song, it gets stuck in your head for days. In the case of Spain, "Las Ketchup" was on repeat for at least a year.
The burgers taste great. The point is to eat slowly enough that you don't feel sick by eating one or two too many.
Adult Female - 3-4 burgers (to start)
Adult Male - 4-6 burgers
The fries are decent crinkle cut and in my experience they are not fresh out of the fryer when you get them. They do not add the flavorings like McDonald's, which puts beef flavoring, sugar, and salt on their shoestrings to make them "perfect." Needless to say, if you can do without fries, just get two more delicious burgers.

Be careful of the Church's Chicken attached restaurant, though. I chose the chicken over the burgers one night and it had been sitting under the heat lamps for hours, most likely. White Castle's specialty is burgers, and due to their size they cook them pretty much when you get there.

I thought i read somewhere that White Castle is owned by McDonalds and they tend to put White Castles in lower income areas, that i guess, aren't up to the 'standards' of McDonalds. Does any of this ring true?
Good question, I did some serious searching and actually found this to be the most comprehensive article. Unless they can own something or have a stake and it not be in their history, like these companies:
Aroma Cafe
Boston Market
Pret a Manger
Chipotle
then they don't own White Castle. White Castle is still privately owned by the Ingram family, according to its site.
Here is my source, it's fairly exhaustive and brings back memories of past sandwich campaigns. Remember Arch DeLuxe?

My dad is one of those consumers affected by lack of White Castle in his area. He's resorted to buying the frozen hamburgers that steam themselves in the microwave. He's incredibly disappointed in me because I have a White Castle less than a mile from my house and I have yet to try one.
White Castle is a guilty pleasure, I have not had the freezer version because, with only a slight detour on my way home, I can grab a sack of burgs (nyum,nyum,nyum,nyum) and take the bus home.
Me in May 08-white castle burgers, sitting in the back of the bus, reading a book on Supreme Court Legislating from the Bench.
I will always prioritize fried chicken over hamburgers, no matter how delicious the hamburgers are purported to be.
It's not that the hamburgers are delicious, it's that they don't give the chicken the necessary TLC (so it's dry). And I'm talking about one location in particular. Church's chicken is canonical for chains. A good Church's is better than a great Bojangle's. And Pollo Camparo? Doesn't hold a candle. (Lo siento amigos Salvadorenas).
