it's a very typical nj diner. but their food is done right. their sliders ("mini"-burgers) were delicious. their fish and grit was very good. and they were very cheap, which is typical for nj diners, i suppose.
Greasy spoon with hand shaped burgers, fries, rings, hot dogs, etc., etc., at ridiculous prices and an incredibly loyal following.
The space is a 1940's stainless steel diner that has certainly seen better days, but which captures the essence of Happy Days in bilingual style. The parking lot is big enough for maybe a dozen cars, and the counter service has 8 spinners and a few booths hugging the front wall. The grill is out front where the chef can take your order without moving her hands from the spatula as she flips, presses, and tosses cheese and onions on the sizzling meat.
The taste is all you want from a traditional burger joint. Full of zest and savory onion flavor on a bigger than standard bun. A strong squirt of ketchup closes the deal. You will need a fistful of napkins to keep fingers and chin free of dripping oily grease. If you are a 5 Guys and White Castle fan, White Rose really is the best of both worlds. It has the heft and feel of 5 Guys, with that greasy finish, while also offering the onion juice and soft roll of the Castle. The double burger was ultimately as satisfying as both combined.
The only weakness come from the fries. They are frozen crinkle cuts and really tasteless. The onion rings are somewhat better, but not all that great.
If you are a burger maven, White Rose Diner is worth the trip down memory lane.
