★★★☆☆ 3.0 Steve Smith · Oct 2025

I have heard about this place for well over a decade and finally was in the area with time to stop. The lore of this place had me hyped up but I left disappointed. The inside was pretty rad, if you’re into nostalgic places, which I am, then I highly recommend it. Looks like they haven’t change a thing in the interior on 50 years. In a cool way. The staff was nice enough and took less than 5 minutes to get my food. On the major plus side it was priced well. It was $10 with tax for 3 cheeseburger sliders with a drink and fries. Then amount of fries was generous, too. However, the burgers left something to be desired. The fries and burgers reminded me of McDonald’s sadly. A completely forgettable meal taste wise, which was frustrating after seeing so many good things about it, especially f

It’s about 6 minutes from journal square and the service there is excellent. The food is good and at a great price. The cheese burgers were $1.64 each, however the Hackensack location is better as they use the Martins Potato Buns and the jersey city location doesn’t and it makes a big difference but the fries here were better and there is more space to sit and dine in. Overall I’d give it a 4/5 a good spot with great prices and awesome service but I’d recommend the Hackensack location.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brad Hayes · Jan 2026

Im soooo disapointed, i had such high hopes and was looking forward to my first time experience. To start and be fair we took our food to go, so was not consumed on site. Staff great, atmosphere great, cleanliness great, price point good, quality good. Arriving at our destination, we re heated the food. First thing we noticed the burgers were smooshed flat as a board, Is this a "thing"? They werent quite perfectly flat, maybe next time we can take them out in the parking lot and run them over a few times to see if we can get them flatter? The beef way too overcooked, hard as gravel, bland flavorless, i did see onions added? Could not taste them. The rolls flavorless. Was never offered pickles. The fries were raw, and squishy. I was told by my co-worker, the chicken sandwiches were "

White Mana Diner in Jersey City is a beloved, no-frills institution that has been serving up classic diner fare for decades. Known for its old-school charm, this small, retro-style diner has earned a loyal following, especially for its famous slider burgers. The burgers are bite-sized but packed with flavor—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and served with a soft, lightly toasted bun. The french fries are crispy and golden, a great side to accompany the burgers, and the milkshakes are thick and creamy, providing a nostalgic treat. The menu offers classic diner options like breakfast plates, club sandwiches, and omelettes, all prepared simply but well. The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, with a counter-style setup where you can enjoy your meal while chatting with friendly staff or other
