"Also known as the White Rose System, this retro, counter-seat only diner in Linden is widely known for its unfussy American classics. Among typical diner fare, White Rose doles out one of the state's best burgers: a thinly pressed 75/25 beef patty, pressed with onions and flanked by two rounds of crusty bread."

George Motz

"The Best Burgers From Each of the 50 States: White Rose Diner, New Jersey - Here, my hamburger hero Rich Belfer serves sliders, but in reality they are too large for that title. Get a pair and make sure to ask for onions, which are thin-sliced and cooked with the patties on the flattop."

Peter Genovese

"NJ's best Taylor ham/pork roll sandwiches: White Rose Diner - Belfer uses Goodie pork roll (made by Taylor Provisions), with each thin-sliced piece cut in a v-shape for uniform cooking. Strangest pork roll sandwich ever ordered here? One with tuna fish. Sacrilege!"

Drew Lazor

"The big sellers at this small breakfast-and-lunch operation include "The Complete," which adds home fries to a pork roll, egg and cheese. It's a flavor, it's a taste, it's a habit."

Bruce Bilmes

"That Taylor Ham (or pork roll, as we refer to it), egg, and cheese, the unofficial state sandwich of New Jersey, is a specialty of the White Rose, and you’ll find none better. Well, actually, you will find two better, and they’re both found here."

Carey Jones

"While White Rose Diner is among the very best slider destinations, their same griddle skills translate to a killer pork roll sandwich, yielding a nice crisp on the meat, melting the cheese through, getting the eggs just right."

Frank Dalotto

"Another one of their popular menu items, and one of the best in northern NJ, is their Taylor Ham. On the menu it's listed as "The Complete" -- pork roll, egg and cheese served with a side of home fries."
