Now in its 35th year, the Love Castle event turns the iconic fast-food restaurant into a festive, sit-down dining destination complete with hostess seating, tableside service, and Valentine’s Day décor throughout the Castle.

What began in 1991 as a simple, unexpected idea has grown into one of the most unique Valentine’s Day traditions in America.

For one evening only, White Castle team members will go above and beyond to deliver a dining experience unlike any other in the quick-service restaurant industry.

Guests are seated by hosts, served at their tables, and surrounded by festive décor that transforms their local Castle into a destination worthy of the holiday of love.

For couples, families, and friends alike, Love Castles offer a warm, joyful alternative to crowded restaurants and overpriced menus.

It’s a reminder that some of the most meaningful memories are made in the most unexpected places.

That’s why, each year, tens of thousands of guests celebrate Valentine’s Day at White Castle, many returning to the same location annually as part of their own traditions.

Some celebrate first dates. Others mark decades together.

Many bring friends, children, or multiple generations to the table, all united by sliders and memorable moments.

The Love Castle experience is available at more than 300 participating White Castle locations nationwide.

Reservations are recommended and can be made through OpenTable.com for dining times between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Feb. 14.

A few castles are booked for the night.

For those looking to break away from the ordinary and celebrate Valentine’s Day in a way that’s relaxed, welcoming, and unmistakably White Castle, the invitation is simple: follow your crav.
