White Manna

I have finally made it to the Mecca of burgers and historical landmark. Walking in you're greeted with the smell of onions and meat cooking on a grill, there's a ton of people standing around a tiny little horseshoe of a counter looking bewildered. The cook just looks around and keeps saying next, and you yell out your order if you were next. A man comes out of the back every now and then asking if anyone wants fries or drinks. Don't try to order the fries or drinks before you order your burgers, you'll be told no order your burgers first. It's definitely a sight to be seen. The burgers themselves are disgustingly delicious. That's if you enjoy some grilled meat smashed flat with a pile of onions on a warm toasty steamy roll. They'll give you some pickles and catch up if you want on your burger or cheeseburger. The crinkle cut fries were very good, nice and big and a nice heaping portion full. Definitely a fun place to go to if you've never been, but I don't necessarily think you need to rush back.

These days, Burgers at a place run by Hogsalt Group (4 Charles Prime, Au Cheval, Monkey Bar etc) are the local favorites. But try finding a table at 4 Charles Prime, yep, the tables open 21 days in advance, and are almost immediately all gone. Almost all good Burger Joints in NYC, 7th Street Burger, Hamburger America, are all busy. Success is well deserved. These places are well organized, well run and aim for excellence. They make NYC proud. Then there is a tiny shoe box sized burger joint in Hackensack NJ - White Manna. It opened in 1939 at World ‘s Fair and then moved to Hackensack (NJ) in 1946. It opened in NJ before the first McDonald opened in NJ. Cheeseburger at one of the places mentioned above (in NYC), will set you back $40. A slider at White Mana costs $2.50. One is uber gourmet, the other is just a simple slider (with onions if you prefer). So, while the places in NYC are pristine, White Mana is a poster child for chaos control. One person takes the order for burgers; another takes the order for fries; and a third for drinks. All this in a tiny place, while you move around looking for a place to sit. You eventually sit by the counter and watch the guy make the burgers. Typically, I order and finish my fries before I get a chance to place my order for the burgers. I get a seat at the counter after I place my burger order. White Manna is quintessential NJ, eventually everything works out. Somehow, they remember who ordered what, and you leave hoping to return soon. Tomorrow there will newer and better burger joints in NYC. Their operations will be more immaculate, and their ambience even more amazing. BUT as a betting person I feel we will always have White Manna in NJ. It will be chaotic, and it will always have awesome sliders.

White Manna in Hackensack is an absolute classic — and it lives up to the hype! The sliders are small but packed with flavor: juicy, perfectly seared beef with grilled onions and melty cheese, all on a soft potato bun. Simple, no-frills, and absolutely delicious. The place has an old-school diner vibe that makes the whole experience feel nostalgic in the best way. Be ready for a little wait as its a small spot with barely any chairs, you might even wait shoulder to shoulder with other customers because of how small it is; but trust me, it’s worth it every time. A must-visit if you’re in the area and craving a proper burger done right! I personally came from another state just to try it out that's how you know its GOOD!

While on a road trip. I came across this hidden gem. Seen them on social media a few years ago and figured whenever I'm in the north jersey area, I would stop by. And they did not disappoint. The building looks like an old school, side of the road diner. The metallic exterior, old signs. The interior with old school counters and stood, U shaped around the grill and counters around the back wall. Old school menu signs. Instant nostalgia. It's a tight squeeze, but the smell of fresh beef hits your nose as soon as you open the door. The grill in eye sight is filled with patties cooking. Friday night bites? HERE WE GO!!! The patties are more of a slider size. So I ordered 2 double cheeseburger w/ onions. I was observing only customer's order up to 10 burgers!!! If you can tackle that challenge be my guest 😂. The patty wasn't seasoned. But the quality of the beef's natural flavor was good. Onions were also cooked with the patties to add a natural sweetness. The bun steamed onto of the patty as well, created an astounding balance of sweet, savory, and earthyness. Price was very reasonable as well. If you have $20, you'll come out with a bag of burgers easily. They also take cash, or card btw. How does this rates on my Shenanigator Scale? White Manna is now in my top 3 of burger places I've eaten. It's also worth the detour, to stop through on any road trip. Great atmosphere, great comfort food, great service.

My favorite hole in the wall burger joint. Been coming here since I was a kid. Not living in NJ anymore, I make a point to drive the extra hour to come here when time allows. Don’t be intimidated by how fast things move, but you gotta know what you’re ordering and how to order when your turn comes up. Doubles or singles, with or without cheese and onions. Always delicious food at a great price. Can’t wait to come back.

The most famous burger place in North NJ, this small burger hut’s reputation spreads long way, even celebrities come here to try it out. The tiny shop sits around 10-12 guests right in front of the grill. First come first serve. The interior is old but still fills up with people waiting to dine-in. They got take out service as well. Probably a better option if you don’t want to wait in a congested space. The burgers are tiny sliders. They also serve fries and shakes. They prices are super cheap, a cheeseburger for just $2.50. As I walked in for the first time, I didn’t know what to do. The lady cooking the petties told me to wait to order until she asks. So I waited about 5 minutes. It took her about another 10 minutes to cook them. We also got some fries. 2 sliders and fries were only $9, astonishing!!! The sliders were really good. They do live up to the hype. The bread, the paddy, the cheese all of it comes together really well. The fries are basic though. So next time I’ll stick to the sliders only, and probably will do takeout.

White Manna is a must-try. The burgers are small but packed with flavor. The patty, onions, cheese, and pickles come together in a spectacular combination that keeps you wanting more.

Loved it... Small place...little bit of chaos with ordering but happy I went. I loved the burgers and the fries. Limited seating but definitely worth the stop.

I once read a definition of the word "slider" as meaning "a small hamburger on a small bun". That was all they said...nothing more. I was aghast (i.e., Struck by shock, terror, and/or amazement). When comes to hamburgers, sure the culinary universe is large and the possibilities are endless, but it all starts with the simple all-American hamburger (no, not that place, that's a different review). I'm talking that hot-off-the-grill, savory marriage of meat, onions and bun that most people (and damn-near all companies) can't cook right. And when you talk "sliders", that's taking it all down to a simple three bite challenge that, in perfection, is harder to find than money. Now, what if that place was only a few miles from Manhattan, has old word dining car charm and has won more gold metals than Michael Phelps? That's White Manna Hamburgers in Hackensack, NJ. Think amazing hamburgers or cheeseburgers and perfectly cooked crinkle cut fries. Pure burger bliss... Like the Apizza in New Haven, CT, this place is worth the road trip. Hours: Mon - Sat : 10.30 a.m to 9:00 p.m. Sunday : 11.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m They take most cards, parking can be tight.

I have tried for two hours to place in the on the website and four different cards get rejected. I called each and every credit card and everything is fine with them.. This is nothing new the last time I tried to place an order the same situation occurred. They have a bad website and they refused to do anything about it.

I've always been a fan of real sliders, like White Castle-type sliders, so when I heard there was an authentic slider joint a short drive from our Airbnb, I was stoked to check it out. We arrived shortly before closing time and the place was packed. The atmosphere was pretty chaotic but finally someone asked us what we wanted. We decided to grab some cheeseburgers and fries, and then the wait began. We got our food about 20 minutes later and it was exactly what I wanted. Was it probably the greasiest cheeseburger I've ever had? You betcha. Was it delicious? Absolutely. The combination of the pressed beef and onions and that American cheese is just irresistible. The soft bread holds everything together perfectly. The fries were pretty great, too. And how much did all that food cost? About 10 bucks! You can't find a better bargain than that anywhere.

The moment you step out of the car, you're greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of the best burger you'll ever taste. The place has a nostalgic, old-school burger joint vibe that instantly transports you back in time. The service is impressively fast and friendly, adding to the overall charm. While the spot is small, it's more than enough to enjoy some seriously good burgers and fries.

I really don't know what the hype is all about. The burgers are good. A little greasy and service can go either way. What I mean by that is that the owner thinks he's the soup Nazi from Seinfeld and I don't know if he's trying to be funny, but he can be very demeaning. The burgers are a little small for the rules. One thing that I do not like is that they will give you the fries way before your burgers are ready. So you really need to know how to order. One thing that we really do like is how they smash the very thinly sliced onions into the burger and they are smashed and embedded into the burger, that is delicious and very unique

The guy making the burgers! How he amazingly keeps a steady hand and stays composed when there are 20 customers staring you down and throwing orders at him. He also has a great sense of humor. It made it worth the trip I'm honestly not crazy over the burgers because they taste like onions and I came home smelling like onions but it's just something you need to experience at least once! Limited parking, tiny countertop, very uncomfortable to sit, crowded as heck but worth the trip ! Figure that one out

Hits the spot, no doubt about it. Great burgers. You could eat several at a time. Tasty fries. Be careful if you eat inside the shack - you will smell like onions for days! Definitely worth it at least once.

Had to come here given its history to North Jersey and its iconic small but comfy interior. Immediately as you walk in, the grill is right in front of you, and the menu is displayed conspicuously at the top. We got the fries, cheese burgers and cheesesteak, with our order taking around 20-30 min. The food itself wasn't outstanding, but I understand the hype around how cheap the meal is. Despite the seemingly cheap price, each burger or slider was as big as a White Castle slider and barely filling. You may have to order multiple sliders, and at that point the cost would add up to a nice juicy burger at a sit down diner. To me, cost wasn't as worth it, but it is understandably a north Jersey staple which may be worth a stop at least once in your lifetime

White manna is a greasy and kind of dirty little place that's been around for decades and decades. Most people go for the sliders which come with or without onions. You can ask for pickles which come on the side. The fry cook will add ketchup to your slider if you're getting them to go, otherwise the bar seating (curved around the flat top) has mustard too. It's not fancy but it's good, like good for your soul good. The soda fountain is great. The fries are fine but go well with the sliders. The burgers do not always keep their shape and often devolve into a greasy meat sandwich (see photo). I don't care, I still like it. That's why it gets 4 stars.

My goodness this is one heck of a small restaurant, but their burgers are soooo addictive. I've probably passed by White Manna more times than I could count, but I finally dropped in on a recent Monday afternoon at 12:30 after placing an online order for 3 double cheeseburgers, a steak and cheese sandwich, cheese fries and a strawberry banana shake. The place is as tight and small as it gets with basically one way traffic around it's horseshoe interior built around bar seating and a grill. There were a bunch of guys just sitting around eating, looking like they needed just a quick bite and then were going to bounce. No long chit chats here. Just eat and go. The cheeseburgers were tiny and greasy as hell, but damn good. I probably could have easily devoured 10 of them. I never thought I would see the day when I ate a burger smaller than one from White Castle, but here we are. The steak and cheese sandwich was even better! Juicy, flavorful and cheese oozing out of it. As for the cheese fries, well, they forgot to give me my cheese on the side. Womp, womp. So, I basically just ate crinkle cut fries by itself. They were good, but some cheese to dip them in would have been better! Now that Strawberry Banana Shake. OHHHH YES. Truly ONE OF THE BEST ICE CREAM SHAKES I have everrrrrr, everrrr had. Perfect balance of ice cream and milk. The thickness was perfect. Also, it wasn't too sweet and the ice cream really came through with each sip. Everything about it was 100. I would come here alone just for their shake. Not sure if one really wants to dine here due to the cramped space, but well worth the trip to grab a quick bite to go.

A staple in the community and popular amongst hamburger lovers, this small busy establishment is known for their sliders. Served on a potato roll, onions and cheese with a side of pickles, one can eat about 4 sliders in a sitting while watching the mayhem of customers that just keep flocking in. I also ordered a side of fries (crispy crinkle cut) with a fountain coke. Upon arrival you will meet the most important person in the facility, the griller. Tell him/her your burger order. There is another person taking your drink order and lastly a person in charge of fries. The fry lady was who charged my order. Facility takes cash and card along with pick up orders.

After driving past here for years, I finally had the time to stop in and try the sliders. The parking lot was packed but got a spot after waiting for a few minutes. If you are doing take-out, it's definitely a good idea to order ahead. The dining area is small and there was standing room only for both eat in and ordering to take out. The proprietor was very friendly and entertaining. There is a strict protocol: order burgers from one person (onions or no onions). You can order fries and drinks from another person. The fries and drinks come out fast so you can nibble while waiting for your sliders. I only ordered the single cheese sliders with onion and ketchup but getting a shake next time. Really good! I filled up on two in the car (so they wouldn't get cold) and saved the other one for home (still tasty after a couple hours). The pickles were so good! Glad I went!

Negative. We went there around noon on a random weekday. A gentleman took our order, 5-6 minutes later we walked out of there with freshly made burgers and fries. Perhaps I've been ruined by fine dining establishments like Smashburger, Wendy's and McDonald's, but these were bland, heavy fatballs. The fries were so forgettable I forgot what they tasted like. One and done.

This place is tiny so it gets packed easily on a weekend. There are about 20 seats inside so be ready to either stand outside while waiting to order or be crowded around the one grill. This is not a place to mess around with your order. You've gotta come here knowing what you want and assert your dominance in the ordering line because it's a bit of a free for all inside given the tiny space. The burgers here are tiny - like slider size. I ordered 3 double cheeseburgers and could have easily eaten more. I loved the onions on the burger but thought it could be more seasoned. My suggestion would be to add salt to your liking as you're eating, which I wish I knew beforehand. The crinkle fries were golden and crispy on the outside.

This place is all about the retro vibes with some good classic sliders to enjoy. The cheese burgers are really good and onions are a must in my opinion to get the full flavor. Cheese fries are good but nothing special, just regular crinkle fries. Now i went on a Tuesday night at 7pm and this place was hectic. Very little seating but can get seats fairly quickly. The reason many seem to be complaining is the customer service, but they are working in a compact space with high demand and some kids working in the back as runners. Have to take it for what it is and be patient if you're going here to be seated. Overall i had a great experience but also did notice the slowness that can be frustrating, however don't want to take away from this historic place with some solid sliders.

Finally tried this iconic spot and it seems the hype is more about the nostalgia than the food. Food: burgers have 0 seasoning...like literally. They just thrown some ground beef on the griddle and that's it. You can add onions but it doesn't do much. It's ok for a slider but definitely lacking flavor. Cheese fries were okay. It's just processed cheese and frozen fries. The black and white shake was pretty good. Perfectly creamy and thick. Service: it's hectic in here (as expected). If you don't know the system, you'll probably end up confused. On person takes your burger order, one person does drinks and one person does fries. If you ask the wrong person for the wrong thing they just say "no you tell him you want...." And wait. There's no real ordering system. They try to do it in order of who came in first but good luck when it's busy. Ambience: this is what's keeping this place on the top of the list. Super cool old school diner vibe with maybe 12? Seats and a griddle in the center. Really unique spot. Overall if you're looking for a quality burger without any stress of how to order or where to sit, this isn't your place. If you're looking for a nostalgic spot with cheap eats, this is your go to.

Love White Manna! The only thing I don't love about this Hackensack joint (compared to the slightly larger White Mana Diner in Jersey City on Tonnelle Ave.) is it gets so packed that the customers block you entirely from getting in the door! But that happens because its burgers are so darn good! Note - Some people order in advance online! Although dating itself to the '39 World's Fair, White Manna really started in '46, remaining efficient with the grill cook right there in front of you! The throwback feel is authentic and food fair priced. About those burgers: Delicious old school burgers, slathered in grilled onions (my reco) if you request them and placed on Martin's potato rolls, come as single or double (with the two patties smooshed together) with or without cheese! Pickle slices are provided on the side upon request. Other sandwich options include Steak (with or without cheese on a Kaiser roll), Turkey or Faux (i.e., "Impossible" vegan). As a side, you can opt for their nicely made Fries or Cheese Fries. And if you like those pickle slices, order extra by the cup! To drink, consider White Manna's old fashioned shakes, including the Black & White variety. If time is an issue, definitely consider ordering online. In store, you can get caught behind other customer orders of 8 or 12 burgers at time. While operating as fast as they can, the grill cook's speed is limited by the size of the grill. That being said, those memorable burgers from White Manna are ones I'll be coming back for anytime I'm anywhere close to Hackensack!

Cheap, unseasoned burgers with a cranky cook that you place orders with. highly disorganized ordering system, so if it's packed...good luck trying to get your order in. Make sure to order exactly what you want when ordering from with cranky mccrankerson: Either a Single or Double, with or without cheese, with or without Onions, and with or without pickles...they ask you at the end about the pickles and ketchup. There's a separate person for drinks and fries, and there's a separate person to pay, and bag your pickles. Good luck

Classic burger. Great food, old school counter service and old school vibe. Definitely try it if you haven't already.

Its not the spot in jersey dont get it mixed up lol. Better have your orders ready because that lady that cooks the burgers is fast!! Great memory too! She had about 60 burgers going and she did not miss a beat!! Some guy tried to change his order and she was like "these arent pre-made" hahaha homeboy had to pay for 4 instead of the 2 he wanted. Cash and Cards accepted. I had the double cheeseburger Service is quick and polite. Some customers can be assholes. But man she stood her ground!! You can dine in, order in advance, or just take it and go. Wait can be long dependa on how big your order is. Located next to a Hertz rental. You cant miss it!!

The place is packed and they def do sell a ton of burgers. I ordered 5 double cheeseburgers and a cheese fry. It took about 10-15 min. Yes, the prices are great, but I do not believe how many good reviews are here. The burgers had zero flavor. The fries were basic no salt and they give you a cup of cheese whiz. I guess if you're hungry and you're broke it's a solid spot, but Zero flavor or taste. No thanks. one and done. You White Manna - out! There's no magic here.

I wasn't sure if it was worth the schlep to get these burgers but now I eat humble pie in order to eat these burgers. It is slider sized so order at least 2 if you want more than a bite. It's tiny space so you'll get to know the other customers real well. No bathroom and no order that I could ascertain. My experience was one counter guy did drinks, another for the burgers, and a third for sides. Heaven forbid you try to order all the items at once! But even so I fully enjoyed the experience, including a cup of pickles

Iconic fast food from the past . select the ground beef patties made to order I could still remember my father bringing me here back in the early 70s sitting on the stool and watching my burgers being made before my eyes. Limited seating. FYI, order your burgers first then your side orders will be taken as you wait. Can't say enough.9.5

Supposedly the best smash burger in NJ. It was good, but if it's really the best then NJ needs to step up its game. Better than White Castle, but nothing that has led me to dream about having it again. If you're around it's worth a stop in, but don't go out of your way the way we did. The place is small and crowded with just a few seats at a counter to eat in, so order ahead and prepare to take it away.

Tasty burgers! I love the ratio of potato bun to meat. Onions perfectly cooked. Solid juicy burger. Will be returning. Ordering was straightforward online. Classic burger joint and you can see them cooking.

We finally got a chance to try this place. The sliders are the size of White Castle's. However, they're tastier and juicier. We ordered online and picked them up without having to wait long. The place is small but nostalgic, having that classic diner feel to it. A definite must-try if you haven't already.

5/5 for the food def go for a good burger But the wait time is long I would suggest ordering online

The hype on this place far exceeds the burgers themselves. They're ok, but really not all that special. It's cool to see an old burger counter like this still in operation... You'll walk in and think "wow this place is tiny" and if you give it more thought you'll realize "the design of this place is insane and makes no sense". Maybe 75 years ago having the flat top grill right in the middle of a small horseshoe of stools created a fun and relaxed restaurant, these days whoever is working the grill has to hustle to handle all the takeout/dine in orders and the tight space feels unequipped to handle the clientele. The burgers themselves are dry little pucks without much flavor, so the onions and cheese do a lot of heavy lifting. Don't expect a smashed burger-like crust on the patty, it's just a dense slider. Definitely does not match the hype, and I won't be returning anytime soon

Love!! Delicious greasy burgers. It was really crowded around 7:30, but much less so at 8. Order online and pick it up if you don't wanna get stuck in the rush!! The place is tiny, gets claustrophobic...

Rude staff, combined with overcrowded little kitchen don't equal great food or service. Food was not great, the grill lady was rude and quite frankly it was a sh**show like watching chickens with their heads cut off. I saw no use of gloves at any moment, would not recommend, not worth the hype. White castle is 1000 times better. Wish I had not wasted my time.

Don't confuse with Jersey City (notice that has one "N" in Mana" We visited 3pm on a Summer Saturday and wait wasn't terrible. It moves and seats do open if patient. We live about 30 min away and were shopping in area. It's clearly a bucket list type place and if you come to try it from afar there's a TON to do on route 4 and 17 in area. Make sure you have a game plan. Know what you want. It's not quite soup with Seinfeld but don't screw it up. Only put your burger order in first. Guy at grill doesn't care about the fries or drinks you want. Others will handle that for ya. My wife and I shared 8 cheeseburgers with onions and ketchup pickles on side. I'd probably go 4 double cheeseburgers next time as meat gets lost in one patty sliders. There's equal parts meat onions and bread so don't think it's a big juicy burger it's a small slider that melts with those 3 ingredients. Fries are crinkle cut and def not greasy. Actually pretty dry and bland but nice. My daughter got a shake and we got sodas. Stay for the ambiance and watch them cook and deal with customers and orders etc. eat em fresh and steamy and hot. They have ample ketchup and siracha sauce for you. 8 cheese, 6 no cheese, 2 fries, 2 sodas 1 shake $50...not terrible for an experience! That's pretty much the menu. I think you can get a plant based burger and maybe chopped steak type sandwich. No hot dogs no onion rings. Parking is a nightmare if it's crowded so be careful. It's not hard to find at all. Take pictures, enjoy the experience.

This place is a staple not only in Hackensack but the state over. No frills delicious sliders and fries. Super efficient operation in a confined space where a surprising amount of people manage to sit around and truly enjoy an NJ gem. You should too. ENJOY!!!

This place is legit! I've been coming here since I was a kid and I've always left happy. No matter who is working you get great service and great food. The area is SMALL. So you have to be patient with moving around. Don't be afraid to speak up and talk to everyone behind the counter. I cannot recommend this enough.

White Manna: where tiny burgers deliver big taste punches! These burgers are like flavor bombs exploding in your mouth. I've been here more times than I can count, but never managed to leave a review-guess I was too busy devouring those delicious burgers! And let's be real, they don't need another good review; the constant crowd speaks for itself. But hey, if you want a quick bite that'll knock your socks off, this is the place to be. A tiny burger joint packed with huge flavor!

Food: Amazing Service: it's busy as fuck sometimes, shut up and enjoy the wait, or come back later Ambiance: ma and pop. Tiny. Awesome. Last time I went was in 2013 roughly? I'm sad about that lol

All I have to say is the worst the worst the worst that I have experienced in years. Walked in and it looks like the place hasn't been sanitized in years. I waited my turn and placed my order and it just seemed like my order wasn't good enough to be made. Waited for just two hamburgers 17 minutes and watched as people walked in placed their order, and walk out while I was still waiting for my order. Customers at the counter, also be served and pick up orders being picked up. Tried paying twice and was completely ignored while others were still being served. Don't know what all the hype is about at this greasy spoon, but I must say I will never return and will never recommend this place to anyone. You're on your own when you stop at this spot. Never stopped here and never will.

This was the best burger I've ever had. The five guys vs in and out conversation is irrelevant after having this burger. Ambiance: (5/5) It's a small spot, but has a great diner feel. Price: (5/5) You can't beat a cheeseburger for $2 anywhere anymore. Food: (5/5) The burger was cooked to perfection. It definitely is small, so I would suggest getting multiple, but it's worth it! It's so simple with onions and pickles, but the flavors don't need much to shine. Service: (5/5) Good comes out quick, but I wasn't there during a lunch rush so I'm not sure how it's like at those times. In conclusion, this is a must try!!

Finally made the trip here for the NJ staple. You think you've had steamed hams? You haven't had these steamed hams. There's a system to ordering and you'll learn it while you wait in line. You don't wanna wait in line? You can order ahead and wait about the same amount of time as you would in line, but it's absolutely worth waiting for the first time. The cheeseburgers are piping hot, practically melting the bag when it's handed to you. The fries are the best kind: crinkled. If there isn't room to sit inside (likely will not be) you'll be just as satisfied having a picnic in your car in the parking lot. Again. There will be a wait. If you can't handle it there are other establishments but you won't be anywhere near as happy.

Delicious food, definitely an Experience You won't forget! Great prices and a lot of Fun watching the show that's put on while the food's being cooked!

Great place, has gotten a little to famous but they have kept up the quality of the food. Service was grumpy but I can't blame them with everyone wanting to take photos and not really knowing how to order.

Went Monday on MLK day around 1pm. Waited around 10 minutes before being able to place the order snd then at least another 20minutes to receive it. -Double cheeseburger: smaller than expected. juicy and good onion flavor but could have used a pinch of salt. -steak and cheese sandwich: less meat than expected based on prior pictures. Not worth the additional cost compared to the double cheeseburger. Burgers akin to White Castle size thereby requiring more than one to feel satisfied. Overall, pretty good flavor but not worth the long wait. Could benefit from better organization in having an employee solely dedicated to taking orders vs also manning the grill.

White Manna. All I can say is that it is a Jersey Classic! Stopped in for lunch and could not have been happpier. Was it crowded? Yes.. Did I wait long.. Absolutely not! No doubt they have mastered the art of making burgers and serving customers. As you place your order, the cook takes your food order on how you want your burgers. There was no writing anything down and you hope thr order is correct as you move to the side and thr next order is taken. Not quite sure how the cook does it, but he nailed my order down and pretty sure everyone else's order as well. Whenever you walk into a crowded restaurant there is usually a reason. The crowds at White Manna are because of the great burgers they serve. Food was awesome and will be heading back. Only disappointment lies in myself for having had a license in New Jersey for some 32 years now and waiting this long before trying them. If you are a Jersey Foodie, this is a must stop on your next food tour.

Yeah. Good sliders. Like them with onions & pickles. Took a while for me to get my bill.

Very classic mom and Pop type of vibe burgers are pretty good. Definitely would recommend.

It's slept on. Pretty good burgers and it took not that long tStill higher than 3.8......bbb bbbb b

This is the slider place, but it can get crowded at times. If this place is good enough to be featured on No Reservations, then you know what's up.

Over the top burgers do nothing for me, but simple, beef forward, fatty, gooey delicious little sliders sure as heck do. White Manna has been reviewed and raved over by someone of the most well known chefs in America, and it's for an good reason. You can smell the onions and beef from that griddle from blocks away. They operate like a well oiled machine behind that griddle. Perfection is made with high quality fresh beef, thinly sliced onions, a thick slab of American cheese, and a steamed potato bun. The secret is when they top the patty with onions and smash them into the patty. The patty is then flipped on the griddle, topped with cheese and the bun. As the onions cook, they steam and infuse the patty and bun deeply with flavor. The aroma lingers on your hands well after you have eaten your delicious sliders. These perfect little bites of burger melt in your mouth. The steamed slider is beyond tender. So satisfying. Crave worthy. And you certainly cannot eat just one. We took our food to the car and scarfed 4 down like it was nothing. They are simply amazing. This place is teeny tiny, face paced, loud, and I loved it. Expect to wait, make sure you yell out your order. Make sure you get a good spot at the counter to watch them work their magic. Serious DO NOT miss this place.

Only for the burger! The way that they take orders is ridiculous. If he misses someone come in they get skits. Large orders, Trump small orders. The food consistently is great over these years. Be prepared to leave thinking of onions unfortunately it has very poor ventilation systems They don't like the door open, but waiting 10 minutes for a slider on a good day is absurd Hands-down, the best slider in Northern Jersey, but they have to make their ordering system better. The amount of times I have walked out is disappointing. I have ordered from the George Washington Bridge got there and still my two sliders were not ready because mass orders of 6 to 20 burgers fill up the grill

Cool little spot. Luis the cook is amazing at his craft, burgers are small but mighty. A good treat after bowling
