Anything outstanding Downtown/ Paulus Hook area?
With great fries would be nice too but I don't want to get greedy!
Come on hit me with some suggestions.


Thanks!

Yup, White Star's got a good burger and their fries are top notch. Personally, I've been pretty pleased with most of the stuff on their menu.

Ok, I have to say, after my first White Star burger, I'm sold. Whatever it is that they're doing, they're doing it right. Best burger I've had in JC since, well, since Melt closed.

I live very close to White Star, and generally I've been a fan of their burgers.

Have to go with White Star. In fact, I'm eating one of their SPAM burgers right now! (Though I prefer the Jersey City Football Club)

No, I have no association with them except a frequent sometimes too frequent patron. They aren't the best at everything, but this thread is only about burgers in downtown JC.

maybe so. but the screen name references elliott smith, so i'll give them a pass.

Apparently the White Star Bar serves SPAM as well.

Personally I think its hands down the White Star. Real burgers not prepressed cheap meat. The word is they even get there meat from Moloney's Meat Market... a real JC butcher. The fries are yummy, toppings even go into gourmet and good prices. Go on Wednesday and the even have them on the $5 food night menu (smaller version of course). I've converted many people into fans. Oh, and the rest of the menu is really tasty too!

WHITE MANA! If you like grease, and onions.

If not, Arthur's in Hoboken does make a damn fine burger. Beats the hell out of their mediocre steaks.

Park Tavern is a great bar (cheap Guiness on tap) and the burgers are fine, but they can be very slow with food orders.

My favorite would have to be White Mana (AKA Original Mana) on 1/9 Truck Route and Manhattan Ave. It's essentially the birthplace of American fast food. It's the original burger stand from the 1939 World's Fair, and has been in JC since the 40s. The is not the place to go if you're looking for a fancy half-pounder. It's more like the best White Castle burger the world has ever known. 3 cheese burgers, fries and a soda used to be $5, but I think it's up to $5.50. Open 24 hours, but the location is sketchy and draws a sometimes wild crowd late on weekends.

There's another one called White Manna (note the double-N) in Hackensack which some say is better, but I've never visited. It was once a chain of about a half-dozen restaurants, but JC has the original.

Good Burgers at the Park Tavern on West Side Ave. Just off Communipauw. I have not been there in awhile, but they were always freshly made and tasty. Arthur's in Hoboken has good burgers also.

OK, So Citysearch.com has a list of Best Burger Joints in NYC.

How about Burger Joints in Jersey City??

Any suggestions?

I heard Brownstone serves good ones, but never tried.

Tips on Down Town area will be nice, but Heighs, JSQ all welcome!
