“This was our first visit in about 20 years due to our children aging out. Today we took our grandchild who loved everything about the place - the food, the monster mash sundae, the activity pack and our waitress. Will definitely come again as we enjoyed our Senior meals. Just the right amount of food.“

“We've made a tradition of enjoying Valentine's Day here at the White House in Edison for years now.... this year was no exception and we had a wonderful experience surrounded by others enjoying the same fun that has brought us back time after time. I love that it's BYOB and we usually bring wine one year. I mixed dirty martinis at our table and this year we had margaritas. “

“Love their burgers and Oreo shakes but 2 kid meals w Oreo shakes for both of them, a bacon cheeseburger and soda for me...total was abt $31 — YIKES!!! That’s why I go abt 2-3 times a year“

“The food is so good. The burgers are delicious and the fries were seasoned well. But the service is where I have some complaints. The person at the cashier had an earbud in and was talking to a friend, and didn’t acknowledge customers much. That part was a little disappointing.“

“Happy with my burger.“

“Being allergic to gluten makes dining out extremely challenging. I can finally eat a friend chicken sandwich again and it’s an amazing feeling! Not only that, but the gluten free bun and breeding are amazing! Thanks so much for giving a darn about a forgotten part of the population.“

“Nice spot with great vintage atmosphere and good burgers and shakes.“

“Fanrtastic family owned business. No frozen veggies. They make everything!! I tried the Kaati Roll (Panner Bhurhi) and the Veggie burger. It was great and I will go back again and again and again!!

Pure Veg; option to customize; all home made and family owned. Staff was very friendly and the ordered food arrived much faster.

Definitely going back to try the other menu items. Thank you for the hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the food.“

“GREAT FOOD 👍👍👍👍👍 I really enjoyed eating there“

“First time back since 1973! Even better than I remember it. California cheese burger, fries and a soda. Served up in about 3 or 4 minutes, hot and fresh. I will not wait another 50 years to go back! LOL“

“The food is really good it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it. I love how they make the food with love and care. The employees are kind, caring and loving. They take care of everyone as if it’s their own kids. Also I love how they have vegan options too they don’t discriminate. Helpful tip they should make halal chicken and Lower the prices for college students“

“Oh, this is one of my most favorite places for a cheeseburger. To be honest, the don't look like much, but they taste so amazing. The French fries are also really good - I like to get them well done so they are crispy.

There is a Barnes and Nobel across the street. Behind White Diamond is Tarantella's, which always gets great reviews, so come and make a day of it!

Parking: Limited number of spots, bit usually enough.

Kid-friendliness: Only a few booths, but usually enough. Very kid-friendly food.“

“Hood food and a great staff! Located in what is about to become a very impressive town village

Kid-friendliness: More than welcome

Wheelchair accessibility: They have an ADA Compliant sidewalk and entrance“

“Was impressed with the decor, service and food. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly! Made with fresh meat (not frozen formed patty) - not sure whst the English would be but I know it in Yiddish as “hockfleish.” The BBQ sauce added to the taste of the meat without being overpowering and the onion, pickle, lettuce and the challah bun were all extremely fresh. Looking forward to coming back snd trying the other choices!“

“It was my 1st time trying this spot out! I celebrated my birthday and anniversary! My server name was “MO” I believe it was short for Monique! She was pleasant, tentative, respectful, friendly, polite and patient! My wife and I definitely appreciated the service she provided us! My only issue was the fact that open table has an option for you to put what your occasion is and the restaurant didn't honor it. However after speaking to the manager he did accommodate us in someway for the inconvenience. ! I would definitely come back here as it was a great experience overall!!! Great ambience! And the food was truly amazing! 🔥🔥🔥10/10 for us!“

“Edited (typo on price in original) and adjusting now that I've had time to think objectively...

I’ve always loved this place and supported since it opened. I’m a little disappointed with an order for my family- 1 classic heavyweight and 2 classic lightweights. They seemed to have shrunk the lightweight, to half the size of the heavyweight (used to seem more like a 10” for LW vs 12” for HW)… I could be wrong as I usually get the Heavyweight for myself, but others mentioned it seemed smaller.

Regardless, the bigger issue to me is the lightweight is $9 on the menu and heavyweight is $16 (I incorrectly put $14 in original post), while the lightweights we received are barely smaller than half of the heavyweight. The HW is on top and LW on bottom in the picture I attached. Since the lightweight is half the size, then people shouldn’t be charged extra and the price should be half. Otherwise, people paying $2 more for two lightweights will feel cheated. Granted it’s only $2, but the price after add-ons and tax is already premium. Bottom line the quality of food here is great, but the point is I could have ordered two heavyweights and paid less. I will be sharing with family/friends to avoid this from happening to them… order heavyweights and share to not be over-charged when ordering lightweights“

“The food is always really good here the service is excellent I'm never disappointed at this location this time I actually ended up getting a shake which I never did before I got the Dubai chocolate pistachio shake it was amazing 😍. The only thing I don't like about this place is everything is separate a la carte so you can't get a meal like french fries and a drink for three people the bill was $85 which I think is kind of a lot for lunch“

“wow..Great pleasure to spend time here..I strongly recommend this place..Food was very delicious..atmosphere was phenomenal...Home like taste with generous serving...“

“We had a great experience at this Shake Shack location. My son ordered a burger, fries and chocolate milkshake. The kid loves a good burger and left very satisfied. It appears newer so it is nice and clean and welcoming. The overly location is really nice.“

“I had a great time. My urban burger was so good. I tasted my bestie’s onion rings which were great and I didn’t get a picture of my sriracha wings. It was busy because of the house music block party but the owners were friendly and so nice. They made sure they walked around and checked in with everyone. Can’t wait to drive back up!“

“The food is good. very happy with service. chicken was delicious. plenty of parking at night“

“I really love the food and the way they care for customers . You definitely can tell that they are passionate about their food. Would definitely go back for more !!“

“The best chili dogs we have found. Accommodating to my husband's crazy ideas and also the best party catering idea ever. Kid wanted hotdogs and chicken fingers for her graduation party and Joe put together the perfect package for us. thanks for everything!“

“This place was amazing as soon as you enter your agreed by the owner all the food is fresh and homemade. I recommend getting the cheesesteak sandwich or any pasta with one of his homemade sauces. I highly recommend the rigatoni with Brandy sauce. Amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“The staff is always friendly, greeting you with a smile upon entering. The food is very good with large portions. The Mon thru Fri breakfast specials selection is great and one of the best deals around. Another great deal are the dinner specials...... my favorite is the pasta Bolognese!“

Side note: Red Robin has the best french fries. ever. Try dipping them in the poppyseed dressing and thank me later.“

“The hot dog & hot sausage combo with the works is the best!“

“Best bar in linden to have a beer a slice and watch the game
Tv on every angle and every game is on
And if the game isn't on tell Rich the bar man and he will get the game on for you
Also make sure you try the Jack Daniels wing sauce It's The Best“

“Very good service. Had the Turkey burger with fries.“

“Went in for some dinner last week at this location, and Kevin the bartender was really nice! He helped me out with choosing what to eat as he recommended me to get the wonton tacos and I really enjoyed the sauce on them, they were really good! The perfect strawberry margarita he made for me was top tier and if you are looking for someone that is very friendly and very attentive, you should ask if he's around!“

“good food great service nice people“

“The food here was truly delicious. The two male staff members were exceptionally kind and accommodating, even letting us choose our preferred table. However, I couldn’t really tell the difference between the lemon juice I ordered and w iced water, which was a bit disappointing. Still, this is a beautiful, open, and relaxing place. Definitely worth visiting to experience its unique charm.“

“Hotdog was very good, got the original Texas weiner. Place was very busy with only 1 server. She was trying her best but was overwhelmed. Atmosphere was loud and crowded. Well worth the trip for the weiner!!

Parking: Free street parking“
