Was in town over the weekend so I had to try this place out. The old school experience was great and the sliders and fries was pretty good. Glad I got to stop by!

Great little burger joint! Very cheap sliders! Fed my son and I for under $20 and brought home leftovers.

The have burgers similar to white castle except the bun is much larger. You can get like 6 burgers for a decent price. Only thing is the patty isn't as large... which was a bummer. But if I'm ever craving white castle I'd choose this over that any day.

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 patrons. It’s a bit of a dive, but that’s part of its charm—there’s no pretension, just good, honest comfort food.
Service is fast and friendly, making it perfect for a quick bite or a low-key meal. While the diner is cash-only, it’s well worth a visit for those in the area or anyone looking for a taste of Jersey City’s diner history. The affordable prices and classic comfort food make White Mana a local gem for a nostalgic, satisfying meal.

Straight let down. Asked for bacon and onions. Dried out bacon, no onions, served with a bad attitude. The attitude of the main hambergler made the experience worse. Then a out of towner came in, excited for the experience and he should have went to white castle. Dead ass suggestion!

Compared to the one in Hackensack, this one falls short. Other one is much, much better

Crooks charged me 11 bucks for 5 burgers and they were nasty
White Mana has been a cultural staple in the area, and for good reason. Whether you're battling the effects of a few drinks from adjacent Ringside, or simply looking for a quick bite, White Mana will always be suggested by someone in the friend group. This no frills establishment focuses on the simplicity of the slider. Beef, cheese, grilled onions, and bacon (extra option). Will the burger change your life? Absolutely not. But you'll definitely feel better having done so.

I always visit the white manna in Hackensack. So I was hoping this white Mana could be just as good even though I heard rumors that it wasn't as nice. The roomers are true, only 2 other people were there with me when I ordered 3 hamburgers and nothing else. I then received a 3 cheeseburger combo, which I didn't have the cash for because they only accept cash, which isn't a huge problem, but even after I corrected him and told him just the 3 hanburgers he didn't check the order to make sure it was correct and I got 3 cheeseburgers I couldn't eat till I got home. I finally get home to eat them and take a bite into a huge onion that feels like a rock. I will only be going to the hackensack location from now on.

No flavor on anything. The quality of even the cheese is bad. The meat burger is very small for the size of bread. The bread is not potato’s bread it’s avery cheap one and I count two little pieces of onions. Super bad. I always go to Hackensack location and over there is delicious nothing compare to here. I will not be coming back here. Worst cheese burgers I ever tried.
