The no-frills sign on the diminutive River St. building says it all in just three words: "White Manna Hamburgers." The Hackensack eatery has become part of North Jersey folklore thanks to its 70-year legacy of slopping the greasiest, tastiest burgers onto the plates of the patrons who sit in its cramped quarters. The shoebox-sized burger joint has just enough room for its half-moon countertop, short stools and the perpetual line of salivating customers. As for the burgers themselves, the secret lies in their simplicity and the freshness of the meat. Cooked on a grill right in front of you, the burgers start out as clumps of ground beef. With a swift whack of the spatula and some sauteed onions, your meal starts to take shape. In true White Manna fashion, the roll top is in place after the first flip and within minutes, the legendary burger is in front of you with a side of equally delicious fries. Just don't take too long to savor it; you might get some "urging" from the guy behind you waiting for a seat.

    But the grill should be cleaned once in a while and the griller should use gloves. Sorry, but that was my impression.

    This place is the best. You don't think your going to get much from the looks of the building.... but, the burgers change your mind. They are the best in North Jersey.

  • Not all THAT!!

    I don't know what all the hype is about this place. Been there 3 times, and the service is horrible. There's no organization as to placing orders. The burgers are DECENT at best! Fries are really good however. I think WHITE CASTLE burgers are better tasting! WHITE MANA is not worth waiting 20 minutes for a burger. If you drive by, and there's no line, then give it a try.
