White star is amazing! One of the best places to get a cocktail & burger, their nachos are to die for!! My partner and I are regulars to this place! A special shoutout to Ryan- he is the most friendly, patient and accommodating person. He always brings a smile to our faces and he’s always quick & thoughtful! He def ups white star’s game!!

The fried pickles and pretzel bites were a great opener! The Hamilton Park Burger was ok but not great... I think the burger needed more seasoning? The atmosphere and great service stand out as a huge plus!

The grilled chicken is so delicious. The quinoa walnut salad was one of the best salads I’ve had. Their burgers are loved by everyone I know in the area. If you hate burgers, the salads are perfect. Their truffle fries are perfect

If you’re looking for an unforgettable burger experience, this place is a must-visit! From the moment you walk in, the vibrant energy of the atmosphere hits you — the wood ceiling adds such a warm, cozy feel. The staff are top-notch, and our waiter was incredible, making the entire experience so much more enjoyable. Now, the burgers… WOW! They’re juicy, packed with flavor, and the portions are more than generous. Every bite is a perfect blend of deliciousness. Whether you’re here for a casual bite or a night out, this spot will not disappoint!

Food is but there is nothing unique about the dishes and recipes. Tasty but not the best.
Service is Good but they seem to lack the warmth.
Interior & Decor is dated, uncomfortable, and cold. The heating was suboptimal.

I love the food here. Always fresh. Staff and Melissa is nice and accommodating. I highly recommend it!
Listen, place has a wonderful ambience, great inside, good location, could be great for friends/significant other to take out for a drink or to watch a game or event on the TVs at the bar but despite the food menu appearing 10/10.. the food is not good. The fries were hard like they were uncooked, fried pickles you could still taste the batter on the inside, soda was almost flat, burger was eh with a stale bun. Hang out spot for drinks YES, looking to eat food NO. 🙌🏻

The Paulus Hook burger is cooked to medium rare and so delicious! The double cheeseburger also really good.
Had the white star burger and it was fantastic! It’s hard to remember all the hamburgers I’ve eaten in 57 years, but I’ll have to say I think this one was the best ever. Service was excellent!

The quality of this place has really gone down quickly over the last few months. If you’re looking to have a meal in the area, I recommend giving your business and tips to other restaurants nearby that value customer experience as you won’t find that here at White Star Warren.
I’ve lived in JC for decades and I like to take my guests to a restaurant nearby when they visit as I like to support neighborhood businesses whenever I can. So, I returned to this place a couple weeks ago, despite having a negative experience previously with their service.
We were a party of five but the outside seating can only accommodate up to four — as the host sourly told me -- so we were led inside to one of the booths. The entire restaurant was empty except for the bartender, the host, and 2 other staff but we were seated at the smallest, cramped booth. When I asked if we can sit elsewhere the Host told me he was reserving those for later because sometimes people from Goldman Sachs would come in after work. When I asked again since it was early enough (it was 4:30PM on a weeknight) he began giving me a list of the types of groups who might come in: from the nearby offices — aka Goldman Sachs — and tourists from the ferry etc etc.(he talked to me as if he had already sized me up and decided I couldn’t tip as well as those crowds) but we were starving and so I relented. The server then came and she was quite rude and impatient taking our orders. So much so that one of us had to tell her to stop rushing us. Listen: I’d understand if the restaurant was busy but the place was EMPTY. The photo here is one I took as we were leaving — we came and went and, Except for a guy who sat at the bar, the place was still deserted.
As for the food: the buffalo wings and the truffle fries are still reliably good. The cheesesteak and hummus were bland and the rest of the meal was forgettable- I can’t remember what else we had.
It’s a shame, really, because the location is great and the staff used to be decent.

The hostess was not very friendly. I asked, "Can we have a table for 6?" She replied."No." I waited for her to say more, and she just stared at me. So, I asked her if there was anything else she could offer my group, and she gave us an alternative. Our food took over an hour to arrive. The server was friendly but did not keep us informed about why the food was taking so long. He did apologize at the end at least. The food is good but nothing special. We wouldn't go back.
