COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb, 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Reservations for this year's White Castle Valentine's Day dinner are as hot as the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions Original Slider – and the limited seats are almost all taken. But, there are still a few left for last-minute Cravers.

"Love is in the air here at White Castle, as we celebrate this joyous holiday with a special dinner for our most dedicated Cravers," said Jamie Richardson, White Castle vice president. "This is a wonderful event for customers who have shared memorable moments at our restaurants, including those that have met or had their first date at a White Castle."

This fun alternative to a traditional dinner has been a popular staple for Cravers across the country for more than 20 years. Reservations can be made for Saturday, February 14 from 4 to 10 p.m. by calling each Regional office. Visit whitecastle.com to find information about the event hours and where to call to make reservations in your area.

White Castle is expecting approximately 10,000 reservations will be made for Valentine's Day – serving a record number of customers. The home of the iconic Original Slider is planning for 35,000 to 40,000 customers.

Cravers young and young-at-heart can make reservations now for a festive evening with hostess seating, tableside service, photo opportunities (it's B.Y.O.C – bring your own camera) and holiday themed decorations. New this year will be our Veggie Sliders™ and for those craving something more exotic – our bite-sized Shrimp Nibblers™ will be back on the menu for a limited time only!

In addition to a special dinner – White Castles across the country will also play host to a few exceptionally memorable moments starting Thursday and heading into the weekend. Weddings will take place at restaurants in Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville, St. Louis and New York.
