On the White Castle website they have this posted

I've been eating Krystal since I first saw one while stationed in the Army in Savannah in 1972, it was actually a drive-in with curb service to your car. We use to hit it all the time on the way back from the beach. It's on Victory Dr. and Skiddawy, it's still there but not a drive-in.
I don't taste much difference between the two. Unfortunately the Krystal in Leesburg went out of business. I ate there a few times. Location wasn't good, it was a Wendy's that had gone out of business and they remodeled it but couldn't make a go of it after about two years. Also they had what I would call lackadaisical group of employees and apparently a manger not much better, and I would guess an out-of-state owner. Same thing killed a Dairy Queen in the TV on 466.
There is a Krystal on Rt 200 in Ocala just past Paddock Mall going east just after Kane's Furniture and they're usually quite busy. Also one in Gainesville when you exit Newbery Rd., go west away from the mall under I-75 and it will be on the right a short ways down.
I've tried the White Castle in the freezer section many times, bought two boxes not long ago when on sale and I had to throw the second box away. They just don't come out the same in the microwave.
