Bergen Hamburger Joint Named Among Top 20 In The U.S.

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A local legendary restaurant has been named to The Daily Meal's list of 101 Best Burgers in America.

White Manna of Hackensack is one of the last diner-style hamburger joints modeled after White Castle.

The website called White Manna's burgers "astonishingly delicious."

"What's served here is the perfect interpretation of that form," the website said. "Walk up to the tiny counter, place your order with the grillman, and watch as he smashes a small wad of meat onto the flattop with a handful of thin-sliced onions, keeps careful track of it as it cooks, and sandwiches it into a Martin's potato roll."

White Wanna is routinely named to such lists, including last year's.

Conde Nast Traveler last year named it one of the "5 New Jersey sandwiches to eat before you die."
