WM in Hackensack IS without a doubt, the gold standard of sliders...but please DO NOT overlook the other "white" burgers of NJ - white rose (Roselle, Highland Park) and white diamond (Clark, Linden) ...also rool! Like the manna, the hundreds of burgers produced daily at these places are virtually unchanged by time....and never fail to satisfy!
IMHO, the best sliders are NOT from nyc...think New Jersey, any place with the "white" prefix and minus the "castle" suffix...
recently discovered and was pleasantly surprised by BIG AL'S pizza on Hylan Blvd. Their sauce is great!
Okay, a local restaurant has listed in its weekend specials "coconut shrimp sliders". I'm getting mad.
There was a mention during the Cubs-Rays game last night of "BBQ rib sliders". I threw my ashtray at my TV.
I have been to White Manna in Hackensack many times. I really do not understand why people think that the sliders are so outstanding. I like the singles more than the doubles but do not think that either are extrordinary. I would not go out of my way to eat there.
I live about 10 minutes from JC and 20 from Hackensack. Hackensack is far superior. I have love for JC because that's where my dad would bring me when I was a kid. He said that when he was young they would have the roller skating girls doing car service. JC is truly a landmark however it's in a bad area. 2:00 a.m. burger stops after a few beers is not the safest. They usually have a cop sitting in the back booth because trouble tends to find it's way there. I've seen it first hand. The Hackensack MaNNa gets very crowded and the line is sometimes out the door. Ordering is sometimes a spectacle...every man for himself! The key is to make eye contact w/ the dude manning the grill.
I've never been to the White Manna in Hackensack. I thought the burgers at the Mana in J.C. were ok. White Diamond in Clark is better. As a matter of fact, I am there every day as this place is on my mail route. My favorite place for burgers is the White Rose in Roselle. They have the sliders, but I get the larger bacon cheese burger on a hard roll. Similar to White Diamonds, but much more beef. I'd love to see this place reviewed. They allso serve one of the better versions of a true Jersey classic, the Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese sandwich.
Thanks. After reading that review and looking at those pics I'm going to have to take a trip there. Well done.

By far one of the most all time popular posts on my blog.
Yea, I remember my First "Slidini"
Liquid beef fat, Vodka and Vermouth just don't go together! (with or without the onion!)
I believe that "Girl" list of Sliders is Just that...
A list about girl food, not about burgers!
I think some of those "So-called Sliders" are Proof the Apocalypse is near!
I have never been to White Manna as I live in Texas. I doubt my family would make a side trip when we visit NYC. I love sliders. They don't.
I have read the AHT articles and seen videos. I now make small hamburgers for me the White Manna style. They are gooooood. I once thought you could never make a decent hamburger on the stove at home. I make them in a cast iron skillet and mash the burgers as thin as possible.
