We've barely dipped our toes into January, but if you've noticed the pink and red candies already taking over grocery store aisles, then guess what? It's prime time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. And White Castle is back with their annual Valentine’s Day dinner. Reservations are now open for this annual event.

Since 1991, White Castle has been hosting couples on Valentine's Day, transforming participating locations into temporary "Love Castles." These Love Castles offer the usual White Castle experience but with enhanced lighting, table service, and Valentine's Day-themed decor. In a news release, Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle, expressed anticipation for continuing the tradition, stating, "Celebrating Valentine’s Day at White Castle has become a tradition for romantics and Slider enthusiasts alike. We look forward to opening our doors once again to romance and fun and making this Valentine’s Day another one to savor."

For this year's Love Castle celebration, fans can enjoy the "Love Clutch Collection," a shareable combo comprising 10 Cheesy Sliders, 20 Chicken Rings, and an entire sack of fries. This exclusive offering will be available at participating restaurants from Friday, February 9, to Sunday, February 18. Richardson added, "Nothing says ‘I love you’ like the Love Clutch Collection."

The Love Castle celebration takes place between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Wednesday, February 14, and over 300 White Castles are participating in this event. Reservations for this one-night-only experience can be made through the OpenTable platform. For those interested in spending Valentine's Day with their partner, friends, or loved ones, swift reservations are recommended, as many participating White Castles only accept reservations during these five hours on Valentine's Day.
