The best staff & atmosphere we have ever had the pleasure of. Ate dinner there 2 nights in a row because it was that good. Made us feel like we were regulars & had been coming there for years.

Derek

First time here. It was very good. Similar but different from White Manna, with two Ns, in Hackensack which is indeed a small step above.

Must try at least once because it is the definition of a luxurious patty encrested on top of two buns . Come here on a weekday because it is the least busiest. They are so friendly .

Dane B

Definitely go with a double as opposed to a single. As many as you can possibly handle.

Jason M.

Great place to stumble to in the middle of the night. Burgers and Hot Dogs . All to go after a certain time on weekends though. Still cool.

Adam Poch

Same quality & speedy service every single time. The 3 cheeseburger special add bacon for under 10 bucks? You cant beat it!

Lenny Gallo

I know the burgers are a jersey thing, but they’re not that great and honestly, I find White Castle to have a better flavor for mini burgers . Does the job and not horrible, but by no means amazing.

The White Mana — not to be confused with the White Manna in Hackensack , although both are known for their slider-like burgers — is one of the state 's iconic diners.

NJ.com’s Genovese: flying saucer-shaped White Mana, said to have originally been at ‘39 NY World ’s Fair , is essential Jers food experience. sliders , cooked on a tiny grill, exude fatty greasy goodness

Great historic treasure in Jersey City! The round grill section was at the 1939 NY world’s Fair !

Jackson Murray

Delicious burgers . The swindle is their special - 4 burgers and an order of fries for less than 10 bucks - great for 2 people.

Dino Gravato

The best greaser sliders in northern jersey. The place leaves you feeling like it will be crap but the burgers are a guilty pleasure. If you can brave the traffic, stop in and grab a bag of sliders

Bravo

All beef burgers sauteed with onions and processed American cheese all smushed between two potato buns . I eat about six at one seating. Food is biblical. -Alex Reznik, Top Chef

Ardit Bejko

The milkshakes are legitimately traditional and on point. The burgers are not that exceptional

Ashley Chan

Small, no frills place that serves only tiny burgers (basically sliders ) and other typical diner dishes such as fries and milkshakes . Food is slow to prepare but the chefs/servers are very friendly .

TK Baltimore

The three cheeseburger special (with fries and a drink) is perfect, but if you can, split the fries with a friend.

kevin kiernan

cheap and delicious sliders , fries , and shakes

Jeff S.

Quick, greasy, and delicious. The perfect spot to cure your hangover.

Diane Ormrod

I dont eat meat, but the disco fries and the grilled cheese sandwich were great. And the prices! 2.75 for a grilled cheese ! Yeah! !

Jay Eagleson

Sliders on potato buns open late . An NJ specialty.

Sheyla De los Santos

Simple and delicious!

Theresa

I love their double cheeseburgers (with onions ) & fries ! <3 YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!

Randall Noval

2 bacon cheese , 2 cheese , cherry coke and a small vanilla shake . Sinful.

Tai S

Small quick and satisfying

Ronnie Roth

Burgers are bae

Rev Ciancio

Eileen M

Great burger on your way home from a night out. Helps soak up the drinks.

Wally Gobetz

Not quite as good as its nothing special sibling in Hackensack . More nostalgic than good, but sometimes that's enough. Just don't stray from sliders and fries .

Sarah Cruz

Don't even bother coming to this sink hole if a restaurant . The real White Manna is in Hackensack , where slider quality is far superior.

anthony lewis

Watch your burger , found a long string of hair and lost my appetite!

Jacky A

Best cup o' joe around

Don F

Laura Boyle

The birds chirp here even at 3 AM.
