When it comes to food, there are a few things New Jersey is known for. Our pizza is perfection, our hot dogs are iconic, and few other states have such strong feelings about what to call a spiced breakfast meat (Pork Roll/Taylor Ham). In addition, we’re pretty big on bagels, tomatoes, corn and blueberries, but we’ve also got great burgers. There are several spots you’ll want to dine at, but one stands out above the rest.

A local staple since 1946, White Manna in Hackensack is a must-visit New Jersey eatery.

When it comes to their menu, there isn't much of one, but there doesn't need to be. The mouthwatering burgers are more than enough.

While a burger here is a must, you can also enjoy breakfast sandwiches, fries and milkshakes with your meal.
Yelp/Tatiana H.
Their slider-style hamburgers are made fresh to order on the grill, right before your eyes.

What makes the sandwiches so good? It's gotta be the grease. Or perhaps it's the pickles, onions or melt-in-your-mouth buns.

Whatever it is, the critics agree - these burgers can't be missed.
Yelp/Alex Y.
The tiny little eatery has been featured on big shows like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Man v. Food and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
Yelp/Guido V.
The Daily Meal named White Manna one of the best casual restaurants in America and Reader's Digest named it one of the best retro burger joints in the US.
Yelp/David C.
GQ put the sliders on their Burger Bucket List and all of these accolades are just the beginning.
Yelp/Chris M.
Can any other burger in the world compare? You decide. Check out sister diner White Mana in Jersey City and see how the sliders stack up.
