Well, we just found our two new favorite options. Instead of heading to a crowded, likely overpriced restaurant, why not treat your sweetheart to a Valentine's Day dinner they'll never forget? One at their favorite fast food restaurant. This year, both Waffle House and White Castle are offering romantic Valentine's Day dates at their respective restaurants.

Reservations are required for both events, so read on for details on what exactly these restaurants are offering, as well as how to save your spot.
