Also known in some locales as Royal Castle. When I was a teen (I'm 55 now), we used to go to Royal Casle and order like six burgers at a throw. That's per person. Before you fall out of your chair, it should be explained that a White Castle/Royal Casle burger is about the size of a Hostess Cupcake, so it would take about six of them to equal a 1/3 lb burger in volume.
The patty is miniscule, the bun is so airy and moist it's almost diaphanous, and unless ordered otherwise, they are served with grilled onions and a couple pickles.
They are not the best burgers in the world. You go there for the cheesy atmosphere and for reasons (in my case) of nostalgia. However, even the atmosphere is not what it was when I was young. It's been KFC'ed or something (another restaurant that isn't quite the same as I remember it being).
