NJ Burger Joint Named One Of The Best In The Country In 2018

America has a long-running love affair with hamburgers, and an New Jersey burger joint was named to Thrillist’s list of the 31 best burger joints in America.

The New Jersey burger that Thrillist decided is one of the best in the country is “White Manna” on River Street in Hackensack.

Thrillist’s national burger critic, Wil Fulton, said the burger can best be described as "ooey-gooey, absurdly juicy, retro burger heaven."

The burger joint in Bergen County is known for its small quarters, with barely enough room to fit one counter, as well as its retro-1950s diner look.

Fulton noted that "there's not a lot of room to sit inside the eternally packed, Paramount-manufactured diner. Nor is there ever much space to spare on the grill, as it's constantly packed with a pastiche of sizzling onions, balls of meat, and perfectly sized potato buns."

"This won't be the most comfortable dining experience of your life. You'll feel like you stepped back in time, and brought a crowd of 20 strangers with you along the way. But, you will have one of the best burgers of your lifetime. And isn't that worth any temporary suffering?” Thrillist writes.
