This is the place! If you want to experience a White Castle burger done right. Almost felt as if you travel in time to 1956. Even the prices feel according with that, "kinda".
A little chaotic in the way they serve you and take your order, but it is worth it.
The lady who makes the burgers is like a small Energizer Bunny, she keeps going and going! And people keep coming and coming.
The burgers are done to the right point, juicy, nice, and hot. Get them with onions, ketchup, and pickles in the side. This burger will make you smile.
The fries are done at the moment you order, they are hot, crispy outside, and soft inside.
Definitively a place to come back, but is better to order to go, or to order in advance to avoid the chaos.

Cheeseburger Sliders
Old fashioned burger joint. I’ve been waiting to come here because I heard how good the burgers were. The customer service was eh, not awful, but could be better.
The burger overall was good, but imo the patty needed some salt/pepper to bring out the flavor. It was also pretty greasy.
The meat is tender and good and they use a Martin’s potato roll which is good. It reminds me of a White Castle Burger but lacking a little flavor, most of the flavor comes from the cheese.
Overall the cheeseburger was a 7/10, could be higher if there was seasoning.

This a north New Jersey classic. Had never tried it till recently. It is a very small place with extremity limited parking. On top of this the place is very busy during peak hours. I was going to order on the spot but it was so packed and they had so many online orders that I actually went back in my car and ordered from the online site. This worked out well the site was very easy and pick up was actually very smooth. Highly recommend you order before you go. The food was very solid for the price. Got sliders fries and a shake. It was all very tasty. Overall good experience glad I checked it out.

Great experience. The meat needed more flavor, but I guess that's what the condiments are for. Pickles were great and crispy, a bit too thick for me to eat in a slider, but I enjoyed it on its own.
The fries were perfect!!!
Definitely recommend. Seating is in short supply, but that is part of the experience-diner vibe. Just wait your turn to sit is all and 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’s Hackensack location (compared to the original Jersey City location) is by far superior. The building is tiny but there is seating inside at the counter and along the windows, but probably best gotten „to-go“ if you have claustrophobia. Personally, the small interior feels cozy, like I’ve time travelled, and adds to the experience of the meal. The staff is very friendly and they truly do an amazing job given the amount of customers and everything being cooked to order.
White Manna is serving up tasty sliders (single or double/with or without cheese) on potato rolls, fries, and the perfect pickles (in my opinion). If you like onions, they’re a must. The burgers are not greasy at all and you’ll definitely regret only ordering one!
You will undoubtedly pick up a scent of the grilling burgers and onions before you- but it’s completely worth it.
A tip: if you like pickles you can get a cup to go, and they’re worth it!

The better of the white manas. I had this and the Jersey city white mana recently and this one is much better imo. Better meat, onions and better buns. It may seem like a small difference but you’ll be able to taste the difference. Black and white milkshake is amazing too. Service was a bit slower on the shake but the burgers came out quick. Definitely a must at least once in your life.

Rather unassuming place with a constant flow of sliders coming off the grill. Enjoyed the experience and true diamond in the ruff. I was rather impressed how the woman grilling the burgers kept track of every order without any hesitation.

A historical hamburger restaurant. I think this restaurant is a bit overrated. While it wasn't the best burger I've ever had, it wasn't the worst either. Service time is quite long. If you don't want to wait too long, I recommend placing your order by phone half an hour before you go there.

Love the White Manna. Have to stop by and pick up a few sliders every time I’m in the area. Worth the wait.
