- Abandoned White Castle - Cincinnati, OH. Enjoy a look at this vacant restaurant that you don't typically see close down. Apparently the service was not the greatest at this particular location which may have something to do with its closure.

White Castle is something you love or hate. Here in the Columbus area, there is a White Castle that was "temporarily closed" for a couple months after it's manager was sadly robbed and killed.
my fiance knew her or knew her better half but wasn't good close or good friends didn't know them very well
The one on West Broad Street . Amanda Lynn Rush was killed and another employee wounded in October of 2020 by Mark Reynolds. She had been the general manager of the location for two years and was with White Castle for 14 years. Amanda had been giving her paycheck to her parents since they had recently been out of work due to COVID-19. “We wouldn’t ask nothing from her...but she would give us everything,” her father said. At approximately 5:00 am, Jamall D. Shellow, age 27, was working at the WW transport trucking company. As he was getting into his semi-truck on the lot, he saw Reynolds climbing into the passenger side of the vehicle. Reynolds pointed a gun at him and demanded that the victim drive him away from the area. The victim fled on foot to a nearby fire station and reported the crime. Approximately an hour later, Reynolds entered the White Castle restaurant located at the corner of W. Broad Street and N. Wilson Road. Reynolds fired his gun into a group of 5 employees behind the counter. The store manager, Amanda Rush, age 30, was shot in the head and died at the scene. Employee Timothy L. Mathies, age 57, was shot in the wrist and was treated for his injuries. Also in the line of fire, but not struck were White Castle employees Kelly Spry, Breanna Monroe, and Zoe Thacker, as well as a drive through window patron, Frank Baldwin. Reynolds fled the scene and then travelled to the PNC Bank located at 3500 W. Broad Street where he fired shots at multiple glass doors of the bank. Reynolds last stop that morning was the Certified gas station located at 3240 W. Broad Street. Victim Dimary Ortiz was driving her car eastbound on W. Broad Street across the street from the Certified gas station when her passenger side door was struck by gunfire. Reynolds barricaded himself inside the gas station but was taken into custody just before 7:00 am. Court records show Reynolds bonded out of jail for Domestic Violence and Assault charges on October 8th of 2020. A Common Pleas judge ordered an informal mental health status evaluation for Mark Reynolds on April 8th of 2021. Still no justice....
Most White Castles are in crappy neighborhoods. The food is good for a chain though.
McDonalds usually has a nice crowd. I remember a giant brawl near one where I live. It always reminds me why I never eat there.
Not to be rude but I don’t like White Castle
I have never in my life seen a abandoned White Castle
White castle is Still owned by the family that started it. They are a dedt free company and all stores are owned by them. The only real debt they had was the $600 that was borrowed to open the original restaurant.
Awesome 👌 video
They are based in Columbus Ohio. They had a different concept as the home of Sliders. Square thin burgers with 5 holes in them, steam grilled on a bed of onions, they are tiny so you would need a sack full for a meal. They used to stay open 24 hours for people who would close the bars. This location is in Mason Ohio, just off exit 19 of I-71, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati. There have been multiple fast food failures in this area, including Burger king, Steak & Shake, a Slim Chicken and a Gyro place, that did not make it around this location. Within walking distance is a Wendy's, Arby's, McDonalds, Taco Bell and a Chic-fil-a, which probably had a negative effect on this and other failed businesses.
Grew up with White Castles. When we were younger we got a big sack of hamburgers often. I'm in my early 60's. So they aren't as popular as they were many many years ago. It was fun watching them cook the burger. They are frozen square patties and they put a layer of onion on the cook top and put the hamburger down like dominoes side by side. They had this long spatula and flipped the whole row at a time. As a kid then it was neat to watch. I'm in Cincinnati.
I Love Your Awesome New Video Wallie and Kayla. And I Hope You Guys are Doing Awesome for Tonight, Thank You so Much!!!!
I used to go there! I know where it is lol. I saw the Mike's Express Car Wash sign and knew. I haven't been in the area much due to the pandemic. Service was kind of slow. 0:55 The "park" that he is talking about is Kings Island just up the road on I-71 (the Partridge Family and Brady Bunch both went there in the 1970s).
The parking lot is huge to accommodate buses and RVs headed to Kings Island.
And believe me, it'd fill up during summer hours!
Hi Wallie and Kayla,
I, live here in Detroit, Michigan. There, is a White Castle 🏰 located on Woodward Ave. just North of East 8 Mile Road in Ferndale, Michigan. White Castle 🏰 had a Temporarily Closed Sign Up for 1 month. And, a month later White Castle 🏰 had reopened in the same building. I, have never seen a White Castle 🏰 Closed Permanently.
P.S.,
White Castle 🏰 has locations in the Detroit, and Southeastern Michigan area.
You are at the White Castle in Mason, Ohio which has become one of the most upscale cities in the state. That property is worth mega millions. It kind of makes me wonder if that lot will be sold and another location opened nearby .
I believe this is Symmes Township, I know just down the street at Governor's Plaza or whatever they call it is Symmes Township.
It's all Management! Great managers, Great food and clean with everything presentable! White Castlel closed on Arlington St. In Akron 5 years ago!
Was one on Howe Ave too
Awesome! You're at the one over by Kings Island on Fields-Ertel. I didn't even know that location was closed. Great video!
White Castle has been in several movies, starting with Saturday Night Fever in 1977. The White Castle once stood on 92nd Street between Third and Fourth Avenues in Bayside, Brooklyn, but has since closed down. This one was built in 1984 in Loveland, Ohio. White Castle opened its very first Florida restaurant in Orlando on May 3, 2021, and it is the largest in the world. Adam the Woo has great videos about it. Similar to Krystal.
And in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle oh that’s my favorite 😂✋ that one I think still stands
Thank you for telling me the location Robin. I was racking my head trying to figure out which one off 71
I live in Brooklyn NYC we lost 9 location in Brooklyn for white castle, we lost 4 location in queens NYC, we lost 1 location in Manhattan NYC and we lost 2 location Bronx NYC. We only have 4 in Brooklyn, 2 in Manhattan, 7 in queens and 5 in Bronx so far plus we did have a white castle in coney island in 2014 and closed 2020 didn't last long and the oldest white castle was Brooklyn in Nostrand Avenue Brooklyn College.
I love all your videos and keep up the good work God Bless!!
Funny I have driven by that White Castle for over 30 years, but I never peeked inside. The sign changed to permanently closed a couple months ago. There's an abandoned White Castle off Winton Rd across town that's been painted jet black! I hope you enjoyed the Slim Chickens. It was good while it lasted.
I grew up in Finneytown, know that W.C. well. It's been closed for months. I miss white castles, we've recently moved to New Mexico and ya just don't see 'em out here!
WallieB26 really enjoyed your totally awesome and cool abandoned white castle! Never been to one but, have bought their burgers in Walmart.
This has gotta be a first!! Never seen an abandoned white castle, we live in on of the banned states of the white castle system, They are very unique and nothing at all like McDonald's, btw we love White Castle, Liked your vid buddy
I like the White Castle building, it's awesome 👍😎
Are you going to order food from this abandoned White Castle ? LOL!!! 😂😂😂
Hey Wallie,
White Castle actually started in Wichita Kansas in 1921. It was started by Walter Anderson and Billy Ingram. The company is still owned and run by the Ingram family to this day. All stores are company owned, and they do not franchise any stores. In 1932 the central office was relocated to Columbus Ohio, a central location of their territory which stretched from New York to Kansas, although they no longer have locations in Kansas. Current markets are Chicago IL (including Kenosha WI), Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton in OH, Bowling Green, Lexington and Louisville in KY, Detroit MI, Indianapolis IN, Minneapolis-St Paul MN, Nashville TN, New York-New Jersey (including Allentown PA), St Louis and Columbia in MO, as well as 3 random locations in Las Vegas NV, Scottsdale AZ and Orlando FL.
Wow!.You know your White Castle stuff!.💯✌️
The one in Vegas is super expensive and has a limited menu, like they don’t carry any promo items, and they don’t have chicken.
They pulled all of them out of Cleveland like 9 years ago at Christmas time...the one right around the corner from my house sat vacant/abandoned for 7+ years till they converted it to a Dunkin Donuts...you can still tell it used to be a White Castle...not sure what the other ones around town and Akron became or if they sit vacant......
I miss it...now its a luxury to have White Castle and Del Taco if I travel to Columbus or Detroit.......we have neither in Cleveland!
What about the one on Brookpark rd? I want to say on pearl
Omg - i just Google earth'd it. Would have never expected an O'Reillys to be there!
This white castle looks 1980s, I have an original coffee cup that looks mini you can turn it upside down to lay your cigarette on it as a holder. It says under it in stamp "Mayer China Beaver Falls PA.👍👍🙂
An awesome video, Wallie and Kayla! I've heard of White Castle, but I've never eaten at the restaurant. Have a White Castlelicious Day!
I love White Castle in fact I'm eating a couple right now while watching this. I admit it is an acquired taste though. You and Kayla have some good videos.
Yup, there is a White Castle not far from me here in NJ. It’s been around since I was a kid.
Actually there headquartered in Bedford Park, Il. Just outside Chicago. This is an older style building with porcelain metal panels for siding. These panels where manufactured by their own factory. All White Castles in my area were torn down, rebuilt smaller and on less property and with brick.
I can only handle 2 or 3 sliders without the “onions”. Also in my opinion they have the best coffee for $1.75.
I live in Newport, KY (very close to Cincinnati) and there is an abandoned White Castle down the street from me
I actually tried white castle sliders recently and they just aren't very appetizing. If this place did in fact smell like freshly smoked cigarettes, that's especially bad considering people can't smoke in restaurants.
Great Video wallie keep it up buddy :D
that silver door was used to put the freezer and cold items. Most likely the used the basement to store paper goods
Hey there Wallie cool find there's a Taco Bell here that appears to be closed but I'm not sure so I will check it out next week thanks for sharing 👍👍
I didn't think there were any on the west coast. In February of last year I stopped at one in a Chevron station in Jean, NV. With 96 gas pumps.
Good video, I enjoy their food 😀
Hi Wallie.Cool vidow.
They built one in Zanesville when I was like 7 or 8 and when I was 10 it closed. It became a pawn shop for a few years and then it became a tattoo parlor. We haven’t had a White Castle in my city since I was 10 years old and I’m 30 now.
There was one in Philadelphia years ago. I remember being once before a game. There are a lot of them scattered around New Jersey and one in Whitehall, PA (near Allentown). Allentown could be a place for you to check out. There are places around that are closed like the Old Country Buffet. I had a list last year to visit but never got around to it so need a little updating in my research. If you check it out you’ll find some decent places.
Next time you come to central Ohio. Check out the closed Popeyes in Marion Ohio. No sooner did it open they closed it. I don't even think it was open a year.
I think that popeyes was white castle previously
The sign by the street said temporarily closed for a long time, then a few months ago, they switched it to permanently closed.
This is very close to where I live. In fact, I worked at the McDonald's next door the summer I graduated high school.
I hope to bump into you sometime, wallie!
We have something similar to White Castle down here in Georgia it’s called Krystal’s. They offer similar options as White Castle does Krystal’s is actually headquartered in Atlanta, you and Kayla should check them out when if your ever this far south. There’s a bunch of White Castle’s in Indiana.
Surprised no one thought to make it a pawn shop. There is one where I live called "The Castle". Thing is, property is so expensive now days. I think the government should just buy up these properties and sell it at a cheap price so small businesses can make use of them. Wasted land.
Ahhh! You mentioned “Harold and Kumar go to White Castle”! Great movie! Also, This makes me sad. That’s not the first time I saw an abandoned one. There was one that used to be in Hacketstown, NJ. Closed without warning in 2014. Auto zone is now in its place. There is one 2 minutes from where I live!
Maybe they want to collect insurance so they leave electric on and pray for a water leak to begin a fire.
Gotta eat them right away. Love them and milk shakes are awesome Use to go late Saturday night with my mom. Wonderful memories. Mom lived In a farm community north of Indianapolis. Granddaddy would bring family to Indy long trip. They would go to white castles. Probably in the 30s . Still got quite a few around
If you guys ever go through Eureka, Missouri right off I-44 there’s an Abandoned Applebee’s that’s been closed at 10-15 years with an abandoned Steak n Shake next to it.
Hi 👋 Wallie.
You don't see too many abandoned white castles especially in Michigan almost all of the Metro Detroit locations are still open there are some locations in Kentucky as well
I went to Kansas assuming there was a White Castle in that state because that’s where the OG White Castle was but i didn’t know that the owner later on moved to Ohio and then began spreading out his business there
Nice wallie 😃
Good on you for not smoking! I started smoking when I was 21, much later than most smokers I knew. I finally quit after 14 years last year. It's a disgusting and expensive habit. There is absolutely no benefits doing it ofcourse. I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke since I quit.
Usually on the interstates, they will have exit signs with restaurants on the area. If you do not see a White Castle logo on it, chances are any one that is in that city is going to be closed. I think the businesses actually have to buy space on those signs (could be wrong).
the family did start in chicago, but moved to ohio, and it is still owned/ operated by the family to this day
I love your new video 😍
I wonder if this is the same White Castle I saw when I was near Kings Island back in 2019. I sadly didn’t stop- wish I would’ve! I’ve never had White Castle.
Yeah it is. It's off of the exit south of the southern Kings Island exit
Love eating at white castle when traveling to Wisconsin.
There’s a lot of abandoned buildings by me in the Chicago area . If you’re ever in the Chicago area, I can show you a lot of abandon buildings
There was about 15 White Castle locations in the Nashville area and they are down to 2 now I believe.
That second drive-thru window was probably added later and it was cheaper to do it that way.
Good video! You don't see too many abandoned White Castle places! I thought I heard that there were based in Ohio too! Didn't know they are down south too! I like the White Castle sliders that you can get in the stores, they aren't too bad!
I'm glad I have 3 White Castles in Vegas.
They also had white castle here in florida ( back in the day )
was there a white castle in downtown Pittsburgh many many years ago? Seems I remember a white castle near where the greyhound bus station was or still is...i was maybe 6 years old at the time so memory isn't all that great and I haven't been in Pittsburgh since the mid 80's
Yeah, the White Castle that used to be by me became an O'Reilly Auto, iirc. That would be the one on the corner of Brookpark and Pearl Roads in the Cleveland/Parma/Brooklyn area.
I love them.ate there on vacation. sad they closed.
sadly, the only way to get White Castle anymore is the grocery store since they have all closed
Great video Wallie! ❤ I enjoyed watching! Speaking of restaurants, They just built a brand new Taco Bell restaurant in my local town! It's a shoebox design, but it's cool!
I killed bugs for them for a couple years went to about 12 locations...cleanest restaurants ever worked for ..basements had showers. Lockers. All mechanicals. Plastic dunnage racks..washer dryers. The ladies that worked and managed the stores had 25+ years with the complany.company.. I love sliders
we used to go to one for lunch after vising my mom when she was incarcerated i remember there food was so good
is this still there? looks great! Any other closed White Castles out there?? thank you
I have been to a White Castle but not in OH. but in TX.
There’s a lot of these are in Michigan too.
I’ve never seen an abandoned White Castle. I wish my town had one
I agree about the cigarettes. I wouldn’t go in a place where it smelled like cigarettes
Same here. There are no locations in Oklahoma (where I live). At least we have the store-bought ones, they're good in my opinion.
I also agree about the cigarettes. I wouldn't go in a place that smelled like that either.
i love white castles small sliders I love there food it’s so go White Castle is one of my favorite places to eat
I've only seen one abandoned White Castle. It was in Mt Juliet Tennessee off I40 near Nashville. It was a fairly newer location but it closed back in 2019.
I heard a few of abandoned ones I watched Akron Ohio Nate filmed, oswego Illinois mall aholic filmed, dekalb Illinois mall aholic filmed, Westerville Ohio Parker filmed, etc.
There's gotta be quite a few up north but White Castle is rare in the south. There's some in Nashville and maybe some in Florida but that's about it.
It turned into a Panda Express
@WaillieB26 they are probably replacing New white castle doesn't mean is permanently closed is only temporarily closed so they probably putting a new white castle you'll see.
The basement was dry storage and crew room for employees to eat.The silver door Lead to freezer on the street level
White Castle was founded in Wichita, Kanas haha, but even I thought it was based in Ohio. They’re headquarters are there I believe. So that is kinda weird
Me at White Castle to have breakfast:
Later when I come:
Me: nooooooooooooooooooo!
I love White Castle chicken sliders. They are delicious. I sure do wish we had them in the south. I won’t eat one of their regular ones as they can’t ever seem to be able to comprehend that I need one with no onions because I hate onions. We used to have a Krystal here in southern Virginia but it didn’t last long and was nasty and had the same onion problem. I’m pretty sure I visited this location in 2014 when I visited Cincinnati going to a Cincinnati Reds game from what I remember is it was delicious. Sad to see a location close. I stay out of the north when I can but sometimes it is worth going to visit just for White Castle lol.
They also have frozen slader burgers too that I seen in my grocery stores and i love them so much and I also don’t smoke and I also can’t do it too walleyb26
Gee Wallie, never know where we'll find you.
the white castle at the intersection of winton and north bend roads in cincinnati, ohio closed 2 years ago!!!.
It was started in Chicago in 1921
Yes, I'd like to order some burnt lightbulbs with a side of rusted sign! 😂😂The drive thru signs look ROUGH!
Great Video as usual Wallie! I’d love to know who went through the trouble to climb all the way up there to paint over that tall freeway size sign. In answer to your question as to why you don’t see White Castle in PA, we had them in the Philly area, but they pulled out in the late 90s. I’d guess that most people around here shared your opinion and didn’t like their food either. I tried it a couple of times and I didn’t care for it either. I always thought their tiny hamburgers were stupid. There were two near me. Today one is a Popeye’s and the other is a Dunkin Donuts.
They have good sliders.
Believe it or not people get married at White Castle, and it's a Valentines destination for fans!
I wish we had White Castle in Atlanta Georgia but we have Krystals which are ok but it is not the same.
We have 5 of them in Las vegss
I hate The shoe box style buildings today I like the buildings of when I was younger that had character
That's the one on Fields Ertel Rd in Cincinnati. I delivered bread there for a few years. Didn't know they closed up.
Hey WallieB26 here in Austin and in San Marcos tx there are some interesting abandoned businesses if interested in exploring whenever your here in the state
Yeah was from Ohio so many of white castle in the Cincinnati area 15 I believe I like to see the beach water park that closed many years ago because of kings Island across the street
My favorite thing are the chicken Ring not big on. The burger we have them in Illinois and st Louis mo area
Hello from Cincinnati
White castle is big in Cincinnati. I really do not care for them to much either. I like Cincy based la Rosa's pizza 🍕
They tore the building down..finally
Raise your hand if you watched Harold And Kumar go to White Castle 🖐 (I was watching it when I was watching this video)
Got to go to White Manna in Hackensack New Jersey for real sliders
I grew up in Loveland I have many times
I finally tried White Castle here in Orlando,FL and I always enjoy it when I go there. Better than Krystal.
