    This place is amazing! The best burgers around- hands down. Yes it may get crowded and the burger can get messy but I got solutions for that: call ahead & take it home where u can be messy :)
    The *El Paso* burger is my favorite so far, out of all 4 burgers I've had. I cant explain how well these burgers work together with their ingredients. They are so juicy!
    The fries are tasty as well. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. This is no McDonalds burger. LoL.
    The place is little. More of a to-go place. If u decide to eat in- it's a clean little place! The girls that work there have nice personalities 2..
    A Must try!!

    I always love.....the good 'O' burger place, specially the one that look and designed like back in the 50s

    I was in the area and needed yelppies for help, so I found this place, and I was there I guess was early around noon on Saturday

    When I got there, only 2 customers, I went in, a young girl took my orders, she was very friendly, and a minute later, the second girl came out from the kitchen, and all she did is checking on her cell phone. I saw couple other customers came in, and the girl that took my order continue taken orders from the customers, and the girl continue checking her cell phone. Oh...how nice, I need to get job there. lol
    Very unprofessional.

    Now down to the food
    I gotta say, is it so......greasy, that's why is so.....good. lol
    I think is okay to have it maybe once a week or once every other week, but be ready, because is just so...so...so...so.....good

    Overall, 4 stars, lost 1 because of the server

    Hands down a fantastic burger. Good quality ground beef cooked up with crispy edges. So much of a food's quality is in the texture, and for that 25 burgers wins.

    Like the name says they have 25 varieties of burger; 24 regular and 1 burger of the month.

    I stopped in for lunch and ordered the A-1 Bleu Burger that had A-1 steak sauce, bleu cheese crumbles, crispy onion strips and lettuce and tomato. The "Miami onion rolls" they serve the burgers on are a great addition. The fries are crispy and delicious- did not even need ketchup.

    Staff was friendly, food came out in 10 minutes. I will be going back soon to try out some of their hot dogs.

    Wow, AWESOME burgers here! Definitely a must try if you're in the area.  Don't let the nearby surroundings deter you from stopping in.  The place is tiny, but the food and services are great.

    This place is FANTASTIC....Hands down the best tasting meal from a burger joint. Definitely a place that can not be compared to fast food. Meals never take more than 10 minutes to be ready. The Cashiers are the nicest and most polite young women I have ever met. The menu options are extraordinary with 25 different burgers with the option of a turkey, beef, veggie, chicken or bison patty. I love the 60's diner theme...makes me feel like I am in the movie "Grease". All its missing in a drive-in Theater. AND THE PRICES ARE UNBEATABLE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEW $5 COMBO MENU. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE ME GO AND SEE YOUR SELF. WAY TO GO 25 BURGERS YOU HAVE MY VOTE ON EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

    The best burgers ever! Better than In n Out on the west coast by far.  They took away the best sandwich though.  It was the double chicken cheese burger or something, that was amazing and they dont have it anymore.  I go for the $5 combos, if you want just the sandwich its around only $2 which is an amazing deal.  I get the double turkey cheese burger.  Very good for the price and very tasty.  The food is usually very tasty.  It will be hard to find better burgers and sandwiches.

    I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was so salty. Fries were nothing special.  Food is pretty cheap which is a plus.

    Came here with a co-worker for lunch. She ordered the classic burger with fries and onion rings. I got the Philly and the 6 alarm burger. The Philly was very good. There's plenty of oozy cheese as a sauce for the burger. The 6 alarm was not so much. It was smothered with chipotle sauce. It was very running and too smokey for the burger. The side orders were really greasy. Other places drains well.

    The area gets sketchy once you drive pass the Kennedy fried chicken on St. George's road. Thankfully, there is plenty of parking there.

    Oh my.. This is a seriously good burger.. In fact ,I am trying to think of when I had a better burger in recent memory.. It was just perfect in everywhere. Now, I understand, everyone has their personal favorites, some like thin and smashed, some like a nice big bar burger, this was kind of like a mix between the two.. It was super juicy, needing many napkins.. It was dressed kind of like a Cali Burger and definitely needed to be wrapped up.. Buns were hearty yet, super soft.. Loved the bun.

    I ordered a bacon burger it had a ton of bacon. Very excited about this place.

    Burgers came out fairly quickly, seasoned fries.. Staff was super nice. I am a huge fan.

    Great burger in the family of White Diamond, White Rose etc but much more refined and a bit let greasy.  Cashiers were very helpful in giving recommendations.  Had the Philly Cheesesteak burger and the bacon turkey burger (from the value member)... Can't wait to try it again.

    I still like this place a lot. It is just dive-y enough, I like the oldies rock & roll that always plays in the background, and the attitude of the young ladies who work here. They are always genuinely friendly, plus there's no intimidating tip jar next to the cash register.

    However, I am always honest with my reviews, so I have to take it down a star. Last night, I had the #25 (monthly special) "Local Bar Burger". That's a griddled Angus patty, with beer-brasied peppers and onions, fresh tomato, melted cheddar and swiss cheeses, crispy bacon, and spicy mayo on a toasted onion bun ($6.50). While I love the concept, it was really greasy. Side of onion rings was also greasy.
    Better luck next time.

    I'm pleasantly surprised with this place. The bacon cheddar burger was awesome! The bun was delish and the bacon was crispy perfection. Caution with fries though, they were extremely HOT. I'm so looking forward to my next visit.

    When I was really young, this location was a white diamond(?) I remember the burgers being great. It's a good thing that 25 burgers has opened up shop here to continue the legacy. I had the double cheeseburger with jalapeños, lettuce, tomatoes, cholula, and ketchup. The patties were nice and juicy and the toppings were fresh. What more could you ask for in a burger, seasoned fries, and soda for $5? I'll be going back frequently.

    I thought this place was supposed to open in Westfield? Guess they came to Linden instead.  Not sure how long ago this place opened up but they are still figuring it out up front.  Watching them try to fill the orders of a couple customers was painful but i'm sure they will work out the kinks.  Just a couple tables here and a counter to sit at so it's definately more of a take out spot.

    Large selection of burgers, dogs and sides.  About $5 for burgers, $3 for dogs, so you can get lunch in for 10 bucks but might need a by-pass after some of these burgers, I mean they got a burger with porkroll on top, might have to do that next time.  I had a bbq burger that thing was bangin.  I love the roll they use, some kind of potato style roll with onions baked in the top so good.  Nice angus patty not overcooked and finished off with some onion straws, bacon and bbq.  Also tried a dog which was good but i'm still thinking about that burger.  Forget five guys that place sucks this is the place to go for a burger.

    Don't even bother going anywhere else. This place has the best burgers in New Jersey. Juicy, tasty, and out of this world. The Maui burger is my favorite. Smoked ham, smoked pineapple, spicy mango and teriyaki sauce add to the amazing flavor.

    I got the turkey burger with turkey bacon and the cheese fries. The burger was good but the fries were too salty. They have many different kinds of burgers so its a good place to try out.

    Excellent burger (and fries)! Good quality meat, well-prepared and reasonably priced. I had passed on this place several times just because I have never seen it crowded and it's somewhat of a dive. Well it's definitely a diamond in the rough. Don't pass it by.. you'll be missing out on some good friggin' burgers!

    Short of it is: This was a really great burger, and some awesome sides.

    I have to say upfront that I am not a lover of burgers in general, but Yelp has lead to another find.  The burger I got (Bullseye) was absolutely huge, and could easily be split between two people with average appetites.  Messy, and the onion straws on top could have been done more, but was good ole greasy fare.

    Cheese fries were the best, apparently not frozen.  Onion rings I tasted were crunchy and the batter actually stayed on the onion.

    Four stars--over $20 for two burgers and two sides?  Seems expensive to me.  Also, combine the huge portions with the not-too-healthy toppings means this can't be a regular meal.

    Can't say I'm a fan of this place. The first time I have not enjoyed cheese fries. I found the burger to be very greasy. One would think being across the street from Burger King, the food would actually be better. Much better lunch spots on Wood Avenue in Linden.

    Not only are there plenty of burger options to try, the burger itself is amazing.  Think Five Guys plus blue cheese.
