White Hut

My husband picked this spot on our way out of Springfield from other reviews. He was a bit disappointed with his burger patty size, it's thin, and not sure he would go back. But I'd say my chicken strips were the best I've ever had. Our son had the hot dogs, and liked them...they are Nathan's. Onion rings were perfect and fries very good. Over all though the price value was good.

They were out of footlong hot dogs. How can you be out of footlong hot dogs? As a hot dog place, that serves burgers and dogs, you are out of the footlong variety. If there is a foot available of anything, I want it. Especially when it comes to my weiners. See lots of claims of being the best burger, best this, best that. Mehh, decent for being what it is. Joint has the old school nostalgia feel. Cashier was great and was helpful, after she herself stopped eating. Menu was simple and I have a feeling I could really get silly with the mash-up, but I was still startled when the footlong was off the table. I did order a regular dog and the option of American cheese or cheese sauce once again took me for a ride. I just didn’t know what to say. In the end, I was very pleased they have a half onion ring and fry bag. And I was pleased with the dog. Although it was served sideways in the clamshell, and I had quite the mess to deal with. The flat top is layered with grease, which was both amazing and frightening to see. The burgers are fine but the diced onions and cheap bun were not the greatest. I almost did not eat it because the burger was just a touch more pink than I like. Waiting for the free diarrhea to follow in a few hours. I don’t like shakes, but they have plenty. Prices were a bit high once you start adding on extra toppings. Reminds me of the evolution of a place in the south called Cook Out. But not neatly as good.

Have lived in western MA for approximately half my life and only just went there the other day. I'm 46. Burger was fantastic. My daughter's chicken tenders were excellent. Will be back.

Have been wanting to come here for awhile now, it's a bit of a drive so I had to come up to the zoo since it was a good day. I have to say that this spot is far better than any five guys I have been to. I ended up getting the double cheeseburger with bacon and grilled Onions, strawberry shake and the fries/onion rings combo. The fry/ring combo a 👍 up, the burger was juicy and the shake was delicious. I can't wait to come back up here again.

Ok burger, not mcd but not too special. Nice service and good value for money

One of the best burgers we've had since in and out. The burger is good quick and cheap. It may not be the best burger but its a good deal. And the shake is so much better then in n out.

The grill was covered in grease!! The guy, can't call him cook, that's a title earned, put my hot dog buns in tye grease. They used to have a toaster but I guess that's to much work. The help was talking all kinds of garbage I don't care to listen to, and the guy through my hot dogs together with his greasy gloves and there was grease everywhere when I got in my vehicle, I couldn't eat them. Well, when you hire sloppy kids that don't care, that's what you get, sloppy service. Place went waaaay down hill. Never go back.

I always stop by White Hut when I can. I will even get it at the big E and I live locally. I have crushed many burgers and dogs over the years and plan to continue crushing burgers and dogs. I do miss the old days of the yelling and soda in the big fridges. But as they say it is what it is. At least it's still around to enjoy!

Small parking lot, small hut but amazing service and burgers. This place is a step above fast food. I got chilly cheese fries that easily you could feed 2 to 4 people. The burgers are fresh and made to order. I got a double cheese burger and sloped on the shake. There was a lunch rush so feel the room and just get you food and get out. The parking lot was packed so you know that's a good sigh. This is a place that if you know you know. It's a great local spot. And if you're at the b ball HOF it's only 8 mins away.

I admit this is more an additional note especially for our hot dog fans out here in Yelp Community & now prior to "answering a call" on a display screen I caught this one with a footling hot dog & decided to try it out & wound up best $7 spent & photo will come & my note for the suggestion box is keep it a full time menu instead of limited time.

Good dogs, burgers and fries, but doesn't compare with the old days, when they used all beef products from Lewis Beef in Springfield ( now out of business). The old version had Dad, Roberta, Artie and a longtime crew of veterans. The new is streamlined with kids, and a self service soda fountain. Prices are high, much more expensive than the former Hut, but so is everything else. I'd rate it a B, but no longer the iconic A+ that stood proud for 60 years on that corner. Redirected name, but not the same quality or taste.

I recently returned to White Hut for the first time in over 25 years because one of my friends said they were a fan. I was in the area and thought I'd give it a go. White Hut is an Old School burger and dog joint that has been open since 1939. They have inside seating and I dined there. It still has that old time style. Service was fine. If I was evaluating White Hut solely based upon its food quality, I'd have to give it 2 Stars. I ordered (1) a single burger with American Cheese, lettuce, tomato, Mayo and Ketchup; and (2) a hot dog with chili and their "famous"fried onions.. The burger was very thin and didn't seem particularly high quality. If I had to choose between this burger and a Whopper Jr. I would choose the Whopper Jr. When I opened the container in the restaurant, the hot dog was a complete mess. All the chili and onions were on one side of the dog. It didn't taste much better. The fried onions needed more salt for balance. The chili was just OK. The hot dog was at best average in terms of quality and preparation. It had very little snap and unique flavor. The lone bright spot was the grilled hot dog bun. As always with places that have been around for a while, you have to decide how much of a score bump to give for historical purposes. I'm not connected enough to the history of Springfield to know how significant White Hut may be to local residents. But I'll give White Hut a .25 score upgrade based upon the restaurant appearance and history. 2.25 Stars

Omg what can I say. This is the place. So darn good. The food is amazing no matter what you order. It's fast food but some you will remember. Service is great. They have had years of practice. Ambiance. Bright and cheery. Give it a try!!

Quick and friendly service! Not a large menu, but when you knock out the good stuff, then why keep adding - good for them! Not typical fountain drinks offered. The burgers are a bit small, even the double cheeseburger - think between a slider and a normal size. Still very yummy!! I should've added onion rings. Very retro ambiance and small feel to the place.

Good food, inexpensive, service with a smile. I've wanted to try this little (and I mean little) joint for years. I was already planning a trip a nearby dispensary when I suggested to my wife that we zip over to White Hut for a bite. It has counter service with maybe 3 tables and 6 or so barstools. It's CHEAP in the best way. A chili cheese dog, two cheeseburgs (per the menu) a half and half of fries and o-rings and a fountain soda for under $25. You can't beat that with a stick (as my mom likes to say). I think the burgers beat the dog but that's just me. The patties are small and next time I'd get a double cheeseburg. You can add mayo, mustard (2 kinds), ketchup, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and fried or raw onions. I've read some reviews where people said the staff was rude but I did not find that to be my experience. They were extremely friendly and welcoming.

Stopped by on the way to six flags to avoid the amusement park food. The service was fast and the burgers were solid. I especially liked their onion rings. You're able to customize the burger based on a list they have, which makes sure that you have exactly what you want on the burger.

Never been before, service was good, place was clean, restroom was clean. Ordered double hamburg (no 'er) and cheeseburg (no 'er). Both burgers were pretty greasy, and the Wonder Bread buns are too flimsy to hold up... they were soggy shreds pretty quick. But.... The onion rings were good. The cost of the 'burgs' was $5, $6... so more like what burgers used to be. So, though the cost is great, I wouldn't come back here.

Disappointed trip...burgers are small....pattys are paper thin ala McDonald's...French fries were unsalted n soggy...out of chili....out of milkshakes...where are the condiments?...prices rival 5 guys without the portions ....first n last time thru

If you like old school burgers this is the place. I got the hamburger with the mixed basket of rings and fries. The burger was delicious, not over cooked. A simple good old fashion burger. The fries were good. The rings had a little too much batter on them for my liking. The basket of fries/rings did have a pool of gease on the bottom which made the bottom fries soggy. I also wanted to get a shake. But unfortunately they said they were not selling ice cream for the rest of the night. Overall, I'll go back for the burger

I have been coming here my whole life and always have to stop by whenever I'm home visiting. One of the best burgers you can find for a great price. The cheeseburger with fried onions is a must have. The new renovations look great! The cream soda on tap was a nice surprise

Staff was great for that road side burger place. Burger was great but differently order a double. I asked for ketchup and the cook said they're in the bag, they were right.

I used to love this place. Haven't been in the area for years, decided to drive over. Sat at the counter and got ignored by the people right in front of me. Ask the man next to me if they still wait on you and he did not know either. Move a few feet to the left and ask at the register and they will take your order. Long wait not crowded. 2 burgers one hot dog and a drink, $25. Instead of handing you the food as it is available, they bag it and slide the bag over to you. The manager tied up one of the workers talking non work BS the whole time. They now use the cheapest private label roll available. I usually give a second chance. Never again!

Went there the other day and was surprised when I got my burger. They are so much smaller than in the past, almost the size of a large slider.

Just over the Memorial Bridge in Springfield, MA sits this iconic little place for burgers, hot dogs, shakes, ice cream and breakfast. I forget when I first discovered it but they've been there over 80 years (since 1939) and it's been one of my favorite spots whenever I'm in the area. With a name like "White Hut" you might think it was similar to White Castle, while the look of the building and the focus on burgers, shakes, hot dogs and fries might make you think of Five Guys - it's neither of those things, it's much better. The menu isn't that large and I think they keep it as good as it is that way. Like many of the other reviews state, the food here is best enjoyed 'simple'. You can add any number of toppings but just a basic, plain hamburger/cheeseburger is delicious on its' own. Though I agree the fried onions are a good starting point if you like fried/sauteed onions. Friendly staff, fast service and great food abound at this small, counter-serve joint. The breakfast is just as good as the burgers though I don't get up there as often as I'd like for that. The basic fried onion hamburger/cheeseburger and the chili dog are two stand-outs on the menu. Great place to stop for a quick meal if you're in the area and you know where to look. Five Stars!

Harriest hot dog I've ever had! And the fries were somehow soggy and hard at the same time - a true feat of culinary technique. Staff chatter of getting jacked at the 7-Eleven really set the mood as we dined. Easily the worst dive I've been to. 0/5

Some things don't get better with age. While the service remains solid what is being passed off as good food at a reasonable price is not. 4.50 for a minuscule dry patty on a cheap roll and 4.25 for a so so hot dog on a bun is ridiculous and overpriced. The quality is not unlike McDonald's at twice the price. You can blame it on inflation - you can blame it on wage pressure but the bottom line is that the White Hut is serving up low quality overpriced food and gouging customers.It is a shame and insult to the memory of what used to be a fun reason place to eat.

Great service, delicious chili fries, and excellent onion rings. Love the milk shakes, too! My kids even love it!

I visited the White Hut for the first time in 18 years this last weekend and brought a family full of first-timers with me. It did not disappoint. On our four-day trip around New England, a few in the group said the White Hut was their favorite food stop. Cooked to order burgers with a lot of fresh toppings (more than I remembered being available 18 years ago) and full of flavor. Onion rings also hit the spot.

Our first visit to the spot and it won't be our last !!! Husband had the burgers , added pickles, tomatoes and much loved by many - fried onions. He said they were delicious. I had the Hot Dog with sauerkraut which was delicious as well. Didn't have any fries but we will next time we pass through Springfield, Ma

I was having serious burger cravings a few days ago! Being new to the area, I turned to my fiancé and said I need something way better than fast food but not fancy. At the top of that list was White Hut - a local burger joint that's got a simple yet fully customizable menu. I loved the retro vibes inside but ultimately chose to sit outside since we traveled with our pup for a post-snack walk. We each ordered two cheeseburgers - mine with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Don't skip the pickles! These aren't from a jar, they taste fresh and still had a little bit of a crunch. We also ordered fries which were thick and crispy. My cravings were totally satisfied, and now I know where to go next time. I'll have to add the onion rings and maybe the milkshake to my order. I meant to go back in for the milkshake but it got so busy so quickly - clearly a good sign that this is the place to go!

Solid burger and hot dog joint with good, simple, quality food. Much better than McDonald's or Burger King. It's got the 5 Guys vibe and I think on par and less greasy. Also great fries and onion rings.

DO NOT Go to the white hut at the Big E I have been going to the white hut for over 45 years.I have also Gone to the White Hut at The Big E for years.There signature hotdog is a hot grilled roll with a hot dog and fried onions.At the BigE today we got a luke warm hot dog on a cold roll for $ 6.75not grilled.It was awful. Because of this my wife and I will never go back to the whit hut at the Fair or anywhere else. To bad your representing you product for thousands of people and it's not your signature hot dog.

I had lunch here several times - it's simple. Hot dogs and hamburgers. You can get, fries, onion rings, a soda, shakes. There's probably some other additions I haven't thought about. It's good and fast. You must have the fried onions on your burger.

White Hut has great burgers and hot dogs. I have been going here since I was a child/. Great experience when you are able to watch your food get cooked. No complaints

Stopped in for a breakfast sandwich and was so pleased! This was definitely a great stop and very tasty. Will come back to try the burgers next time.

No more military discount. I guess it was costing them too much money. Cheap f**ks ! !

Really cute place.. prices seem reasonable. Perfect sized burgers and sides. Friendly staff. Can eat indoor or outdoor under the tent on the side. Takes credit cards and cash.

Expensive fir what we received Burger is good but small Place is messy ...especially outside

Heard big things about this place. I found it to be pretty good but nothing spectacular overall. The patty was a bit on the thin and rather greasy side but it tasted good. The grilled onions were a tasty addition and definitely a must have! I was very disappointed that they aren't serving shakes as I heard they're supposed to have great ones here. Overall pretty average down the line imo.

Very old school, classic burger joint and the food was simple but delicious. Service was quick and the burgers and fries hit the spot. Will definitely be back!

Great stock for a thin style burger if you're in the Springfield area. They told me they were famous for their fried onions. Overall I can say that this is a solid choice for a no frills burger, staff was over the top friendly. The place did have some vibes of White Castle/in n out, but that's not a bad thing. I'd certainly return, loved the diner feel for a quick and comfortable bite.

Real old school burger joint since 1939. Serving Single and double hamburgers and cheeseburgers, hot dogs, fries, real onion rings, ice cream, cookies, and very limited breakfast. THAT's IT! I love the size of the burger and the delicious bun to match. Bigger than a slider but smaller than a $10-15 burger. Choice of condiments: tomato and fried onions are a small upcharge. Simple and delicious. No wonder it's been here since '39. The onion rings had a crunchy batter FILLED with ribbons of onion. On a Saturday afternoon before Memorial Day, the business was steady. Many seemed to be regulars and known by name. Nice touch. A good place to go for a quick bite that will probably not disappoint.

I purchased 2 cheeseburgers and an order of fries (very few) at the White Hut while at the Big E, and I was greatly disappointed. The food was cold, very small (wafer thin) portions with a very high price of $20.50. Probably the worst hamburger that I ever had, and we left there still hungry and feeling robbed. The staff wasn't even friendly either and I will never go there again.

It's well known and nationally regarded as a great burger. Keep it simple. The grilled onions are a must, but don't overdo the condiments. It's a simple and delightful old school griddle cheeseburger. The fried and onion rings are fine, but unremarkable. So are the hot dogs. They have basic ice cream options, but I've never actually had one. Nothing fancy. If you don't eat beef, there's not much for you, but they do one thing and they do it better than anybody

Decent food tastes great atmosphere is cool but this place is not cheap! You'd be surprised how much a simple hot dog fries and soda cost! The staff is always friendly they're quick with your food the place is clean but you're not going to get a bargain!

White Hut is a long time local establishment that has been a fixture in the greater Springfield area. My wife and I stopped here today for a quick bite. While the burgers were on a bit on the greasy side (due to their famous grilled onions) and under cooked, they were packed with flavor. The French fries and onion rings did not disappoint. They were out of chocolate shake so my wife opted for a strawberry shake which she enjoyed immensely. I had a bottle of Stewart's Black Cherry soda which was very refreshing. All in all it was nice lunch.

This establishment is very clean. The food was quite tasty. Their specialty is hamburgers and fries. They also serve other foods on the menu, hotdogs, etc. It was pretty spacious as well. There was also seating outside for those who selected to dine outdoors. You do not need to be dressed up to dine here. It almost feels like a boardwalk restaurant. I would definitely visit this restaurant again.

Not a terrible burger but lacking seasoning. It did come out piping hot which was a plus. Wanted to try the cheeseburg with fried onions with no condiments. A properly seasoned burger and onions shouldn't even need ketchup. I ended up adding ketchup. The buns were regular white buns, I prefer potato buns which make a world of a difference. Definitely prefer White Manna in Hackensack NJ. Prices are double White Manna's too and the burgers are probably about the same size.

It breaks my heart to give this review. Sadly, it feels like another classic has been lost. The decline with the current owners is very noticeable. I applaud the restoration of the outside to the more traditional look. However, the quality of the food, service, and atmosphere inside has gone down substantially and prices have gone up far more than what anybody should pay for the quality of food that is now being served. Gone are the days where the staff interacted with the customers. The burgers taste like grocery store frozen Pattie's instead of fresh meat. The Sautéed onions used to be kept on the grill top, now they are kept in the food waste catch bin of the grill where they scrape all the grill's burnt remains. The grill used to be always spotlessly maintained, even when it was in full use. While we were there, it looked like a charred wreck. There was never more than 5 orders in the queue while we were there yet the staff of six people continually seemed overwhelmed and unable to comprehend what they were reading off of the computer monitors. It used to be quite the show when people were standing three deep in line placing orders, the waitresses taking those orders and shouting them to the grill cook, and the cook, just listening and never losing focus on the grill kept at least 15 and more orders in their head simultaneously. Never once did I hear an order repeated or see an order get served incorrectly. Now it is the same type of restaurant and food you can find anywhere. Nothing special here.

Pretty good tasting burgers but there a little undersized almost like sliders. I still come here from time to time.

Had to find a local equivalent to Winsteads or one of the steak burger places in KC. This place was delicious and definitely prefer it over KC spots. Burgers are small but filling and the onion rings and fries are crispy and very good. Been around since 1939 and the people that work there appear disinterested in you but are truly very nice and helpful. Great find but glad this isn't a daily option for me.

Ordered burgers from this local joint yesterday (they're open Saturdays), and remembered why I love this place. Greasy, delicious, local, and real. This is what fast food is supposed to be like. I had a huge group order -- six burgers, five onion rings, and two shakes, yet the staff took the order in stride. We all loved our customised burgers with the famous "fried" (read: caramelised) onions, onion rings, and shakes. The "Peep-tastic" shake tasted mostly of strawberry rather than marshmallow, which I appreciated. The chocolate shake was super chocolatey. The meal itself was deceptively heavy and filled me up for the rest of the day. I'd grab a burger from here as a treat when I'm in the area again.

Since I came to West Springfield Massachusetts I kept passing this restaurant. The name and the shape of the building intrigued me. So today I had the opportunity to go in and I purchased two hamburgers and a cup of coffee, my friend had two hotdogs. They have extras like Bacon, whiz cheese, and cooked onions. The burgers are relatively small and there is nothing special about them. I am grateful that I ordered two because that was filling. I will say that they had the best coffee I had in a while At a restaurant. They add the condiments, though there are ketchup at the bar facing the cooks and service area. It's very old school Americana -- and I liked that. If they were truly authentic then the burgers would be flat (but what do I know). The service isn't that great as they have no patience for answering questions or you not paying attention when your order is ready. In fact the older woman who seem to be running the line had such a terrible attitude, she even looked as though she was frustrated to refill our coffee. It was a one time experience that I can say I tried but unfortunately I won't be back.

I was in the area and was able to stop in the renovated restaurant. Honestly the staff and food are both amazing. I was also happy to see I could order a side that included both French fries and a few onion rings instead of having to choose between the two. The pricing is still a little higher than I'd expect, especially on the hot dogs, but I will still stop by anytime I'm in the area.

double cheeseburger was good but way to many we don't haves no pickles, and no cheese sauce! felt like they was ready to go home!

I'm giving this 5 stars because of the history and nostalgic feeling of a visit. Spent many visits at the old White Hut and I think the improvements were a welcome change. Burger was really good too.

It was exactly what I expected. Great classic burger joint vibe. The staff was super nice. I wish I got a milkshake as I saw a bunch of people order them and they looked fantastic. The burger was solid - didn't blow my mind, but exactly what I'd expect for $4. Overall, I'd stop by anytime I'm in the area. Wouldn't say you need to go out of your way for it though.
