Made to order burgers, fries and onion rings. Good and inexpensive option while visiting the Big E. It's just outside the fairgrounds. Beef patties are thin, so go got the double meat for $4.95. Fries and Onion rings are nice and crispy. read more

Went in to grab food without realizing that they were closing in 20 minutes. Was told that they only had burgers which is completely understandable. I let her know that was fine but girl working was extremely rude so I said nevermind and we left. Will not be returning nor reccomending this place any longer. read more

The White Hut is not the same! The workers have no customer service. The burger is so thin, but the price is about the same! So saddened by the changes, because it used to be a great place for a burger! I will not be recommending this place anymore :-( read more

Don't change a thing. Ya didn't! And that's a good thing. Love this place. Burgers fries onion rings excellent! Hot dog with fried onions and mustard and a Stewart's cream soda When I pick up my kids from their West Coast flights this is the first joint we hit driving back from BDL. Wishing White Hut many more generations of success read more

Absolute classic burger joint from the 1930s ... Nothing fancy at all about this place. Diner counter and a few tables. I've heard about this place from locals and finally got to try it. Milk shakes are made fresh with ice cream and at only $3.50, they are worth every penny. Burgers are not huge but everything from the lettuce to the beef tasted fresh. I didn't get the famous grilled onions but have heard they are great. Fries and onion rings perfectly done ... French froes here are a magic hangover eraser. The value is there too! Everything is only a bit more expensive than fast food. Overall, if you don't mind a bit of commotion and disorder, its a great old fashioned burger/diner joint. They also serve breakfast. Oh ... And if you've ever eaten at the legendary In N Out burger chain ... This is as close to those burgers as I've found in MA. (Minus the animal style ...) I love White Hut!! read more

Another wicked old-school mass institution that should be made a national landmark. If you are a burger eater, you have to go to this place. get a arm load of hamburgs with cheese and onions and whatever else you fancy - this is how it should be done. burgers, fast, greasy, cheesey - not much else, bare bones. keep it simple, stupid. the soda is stewarts rootbeer, and this is also good. fridge is full of all the stewarts pops right behind you. i have to admit - i do not eat meat, and went here today with some of my carnivore friends - they all partook in the hamburg, i opted for a 'grilled cheese' which was kind of a hamburger bun with 2 pieces of slightly melted cheese, and i had some fries and some rootbeer. pretty simple, and pretty damn good. nice crisp fries. honestly the classic cool eatery vibe gets it +1.5 points for me, the food isn't the high point (for me-a veggie) read more

White Hut - grilled cheez?? and FF! - Burgers Near Me - West Springfield, Massachusetts

Happy to see them up and back in business. Love the new decor and really love that the flavor has not changed. A bit over priced but ok for a splurge once in a while. read more

Fantastic Food & Service. The place is very clean. The staff makes first timers feel right at home. The omelette was cooked on a flat top grill instead of a pan and it just comes out much better. Lots meat and cheese. The hash browns were very crispy. The coffee and rye toast is very good. Easy access and ample parking. read more

double cheeseburger was good but way to many we don't haves no pickles, and no cheese sauce! felt like they was ready to go home!

The burger here is not that great, not even for the price. Not sure exactly how it got so many positive reviews. Must be a local thing. We came in around 10am and it was packed, a good sign. Didn't have to wait too long to place our order. Got cheese burgers and a chilidog. A table opened up and we grabbed it before anyone else could. Table was dirty, we asked for a rag and cleaned it ourselves. No big deal. They were busy. When our burger was done the girl behind the countered called us to get it. It was sitting on a single piece of napkin. Took it from her and sat down. I looked around at the other tables... everyone else's burgers were on a paper plate. The bottom of the napkin was getting all soggy due to the fried onions. Took a bite into the burger. It was nothing special. Tasted like cafeteria burger from gradeschool, except this was a much smaller bun and a small, flattened meat patty. We were still waiting on the chilidog in the meantime. When it was done, she handed it to us in a napkin once again, a chilidog! With chili dripping all over the place. Whats the deal? Bathroom was clean. Would not recommend. read more

Their burgers and hot dogs are amazing! It's the perfect size and it's such a nice atmosphere, everything is clean and the employees are very kind read more

So happy to have the iconic White Hut open for business again. They are classic burger and dog spot in West Side.

Old time classic place for some great burgers and hotdogs. A definite must to go to when you're in the mood for a good old fashioned burger with all the fixings. 5 stars and a great experience every time I go there. read more

Old fashion Service with personality and a smile, eat in or out. Quick service, fresh taste, made to order grill!

Absolutely disappointed! Onion rings not cooked French fries tasted old and rotten. The burgers so thin you could read through them. Threw most of it in the trash. Feel ill now. Gross! read more

The White Hut is a Western Mass institution. White Hut was founded 77 years ago in 1939 and generations of folks have come through it's doors ever since. When White Hut started there was not the proliferation of fast food joints we have today. True to their founding White Hut still has a pretty limited menu. What they make, they make well. I have been coming here for years. I no longer live in Western Mass but I am always happy to go back when I am in the area, like I did today. The burgers are great. But just as great, is the shared experience that is the White Hut. For the longest time they had no menu board. The speciality is the cheeseburger with grilled onions on it. I order this every time I am there. The dogs are also great. There are limited places to sit and it is usually crowded. You need to get one of the servers attention (similar experience to ordering from a bartender at a busy bar) then they will take your order and hook you up. I have never ever had a bad meal or bad service at the White Hut. I look forward to being back sometime soon. I hope they are serving up burgers for another 77 years. read more

WOW! The VERY BEST Hot Dog I think I can ever remember having! If not the best, it was definitely top 3! We weren't even planning on going here, but on a Sat afternoon, on our way to somehwere else, I said, Oooh, let's see if White Hut is open! IT WAS! Yaaaaay! It is just as described, you walk in, there are appx 12 counter stools and the aluminum stand table in the back. The employees were cool and very nice. We took our seat on the stools and ordered up our first items (we took the lead from another yelper, who said they ordered things one at a time, which was perfect, that way, the items are fresh and hot, plus you wait less than a minute or two for your next items! I started with a Hot Dog and he started with a Cheeseburger, and we split one order of fries. We helped ourselves to the cooler in back, where he selected a Black Cherry Stewarts Soda, and I had a Grape. We each got their scrumptious grilled onions on our items. The buns are buttered and grilled and as I sit here recalling the taste, my mouth is watering! The fries were FANTASTIC, twice fried, so their were super crisp (yet tender inside), and stayed hot for a long time! After we each finished, we ordered the opposite (he a hot dog w/ mustard and relish, me a Cheeseburger with raw onions, lettuce, mayo, ketchup and mustard). Again, a hit for each of us! The prices were fantastic as well, we ended up with 2 orders of fries, a total of 3 hot dogs, and 2 cheeseburgers, and 2 sodas......grand total.....$14. (and change)! I couldn't believe it, you couldn't get out of McDonald's with that much food, for that little amount of money! Overall, the Hot dogs were my fave, altho the burgers were yummy too. They are very thin, I think a double cheeseburger would be pretty yumbly!....Next time I would do the very same thing, in the same order. It was super satisfying, and we both kept saying, "WOW, this is so damn tasty"! The hot dogs (i tried not to notice this) are fried first, and then done up on the grill. They had a lovely snap to them and the meat was all beef and was mild and flavorful. Not salty tasting, not overly spiced like a Nathans dog. Also, the service was fast and friendly....the yelper who said you could easily spend less than 20 minutes getting off the highway, eating, and getting back to your trip was totally right on the mark! This place opens every day at 6:30 am, and serves BREAKFAST! I will update if i ever get up there to try it! Its all egg based (no pancakes or French toast), but you can have eggs any way, and egg sandwiches, plus they have bacon and sausages....and you can have burgers also that early, altho the guy was telling me the burgers take a little longer because they have the grill set to a lower temp for the eggs. OK, so now you know all about White Hut! Run out NOW AND GO THERE! (especially you, my Hot Dog Loving friends...Matt, Mich, and others!) LOL............ There is a reason this place has been going strong since 1939! This year is their 70th year! It's AWESOME! Can ya tell I really (REALLY) enjoyed it? :oP read more

Who doesn't like a greasy burger with fries and rings?! Went to the Museums today and needed to feed the family. We wanted local not chain and White Hut hit the spot we will be back next time we are in town. read more

Step up, ladies and gents, and I'll give you a modest history lesson. Back in the Stone Age (alright, the 1960s and earlier), fast food joints didn't feel the need to have 50+-item menus. Nor did they feel the need to have a zillion flavors of anything. You didn't get a molto bento stupido cornholio latte with drizzles of hazelnut in a diamond crosshatch and a dollop of marshmallow -- you got a cuppa coffee, and the cream and sugar pots were over there on the counter. You got a burger & fries, not five different kinds of cheese and deciding whether you wanted your fries crinklecut or corkscrew and spiced. They were far less concerned with providing you any flavor you could imagine than with getting the ones they had to hand right. Even when I first gave White Hut a try, 25 years ago or so, it was an anachronism: a guy at the grill. Hot dogs. Burgers. That was it. Want chips? There's the rack over there, pull a bag off. Onions, relish and/or cheese on them? Those were your options. Want something to drink? There's the cabinet over there, grab something that catches your eye. There's zero ambiance. Especially at lunchtime, it's crowded and chaotic. No fuss, no pretense, no stadium seating, no muzak ... no malarkey. Just a good burger at a good price. The way it used to be. If you're driven mad with rage at not having mozzarella-cheddar blend vs goat cheese available for your cow, do everyone a favor and stay away. But if you dig the notion of stepping back half a century to the sort of burger joint that doesn't exist any more, you've come to the right review. Long live White Hut! read more

Sooo I was so excited when they finally opened. I have been craving one of their great chili dogs. My office manager stood in line for a very long time to order 6 chili dogs. After returning back to the office we found 6 Cheese dogs. Basically it was bun, hot dogs and one slice of white cheese cut in half on both sides of the dog. After returning to exchange the cheese hot dogs for the chili dogs that we originally ordered, we were informed they were out of chili dogs. This was very disappointing because we paid $29.00 and some change for six tasteless hot dogs. Sorry to say, but since new ownership things are not the same at the famous white hut. I guest 2020 is a bad year all around. Never going back!!! read more

The most overrated establishment in Western Mass. People swear by the burgers, but what comes to mind when eating them is someone cracked open a box of White Castles and charged $3.00 a "burger". I used the term "burger" loosely since they look like the squashed burgers Michael Douglas raged about in Falling Down. Why would I come to a cash only establishment to spend $6.50 on 2 tiny burgers? I wouldn't. Go to Wendy's for a $0.99 Double Stack. It tastes better and you can get twice as many. read more

This place has lost it's appeal to me. Frozen burger out of a box on a griddle, meh. The grilled onions help but doesn't make up for a lousey burger. Over $7 for two little, bland burgers and a soda. It was OK before but there are many other better places. read more

Hit this place on the way out of town after the Fiber Festival of New England. Best damned hamburger I've had in a while. The portion is modest, but enough for a meal, the fried onions are amazing and I really wish I had more room in my belly for another shake. Service was quick, friendly and we were welcomed like family. Total surprise and delight. read more

White Hut is living proof that you can find delicious food in the most simple, cheapest and most unassuming places. This tiny no-frills establishment about ten minutes away from I-90 is a gem. Let me start with the fact that the employees of this fine establishment are delightful. After reading about this place in Roadfood*, I knew I had to come here but I was little confused when I saw a ice cream/shake menu but no food menu. The girl at the counter read my face and explained to me the menu is very simple: burgers, hot dogs, fries, ice cream, milk shakes. That's it. Furthermore, obviously being an out of towner, she explained to me all of the toppings they had, prices, etc. It's always nice not being hassled for not knowing the menu or what I want, as I find in many establishments in DC. Anyway, on to the food! For $7, I got a cheeseburger with fried onions, a hot dog, fries and a drink. If that ain't cheap, then I don't know what is. The fries were okay but everything else was delicious. In fact, I think this may have been one of the best hot dogs I've ever had. Whether you live nearby or are just stopping through, I implore you to pay White Hut a visit. *Footnote: If you like to travel, often find yourself on road trips or just like finding new quick, cheap places to eat, you absolutely need to buy a copy of Roadfood. Not only is an amazing resource, if you're not quite sure where you are going (as I was in this camp with my most recent road trip), it can help you plan a trip via as many restaurants as possible. read more

While everyone seems to love love love this place, it's not all that wonderful. The burgers are ok, but from from frozen patties? Also the prices are horrendously high. $3.00 for a hot dog?? I'd just go down the street to costco and get a bigger, more delicious hot dog AND a soda for $1.50. Again, if you've got money to blow on subpar food, go here. read more

Second time here. I introduced my wife and two year old to White Hut with cheeseburgers with onions and a hotdog. The menu is easy, burger or dog, add fries if you so desire. Kinda like the soup Nazi as far as placing yoir food order. Simply spout "three cheese with onion, one dog" and you'll get three delicious cheeseburgers with caramelized onions and one hotdog in a perfectly toasted bun. Ill be a regular every time i pass by. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing this local flavor palace. Glenn. read more

Simple burgers and dogs done just right. Get the fried onions on your burger, but don't complicate things too much. The simpler the better with something this good. The hot dogs are also great. Onion rings and fried are both fresh made and good. They have a large selection of ice cream, shakes, and floats that I haven't tried much of, but they look great whenever I'm there and other people are getting them. read more

Ever since I was a small(ish) child I've been a burger guy. Over the years I've tried your cheapy fast food chain burgers, your road-side shack burgers, your drive-in burgers, your sit-down restaurant burgers, your gourmet burger bar burgers, your "family-style" restaurant burgers, and your $6 "gourmet"-meets-fast-food burgers. The point is, I love burgers, and I've tried them all. And White Hut makes burgers that are some of THE BEST burgers I've eaten in my entire life! Some will poo-poo and say they can make burgers like these at home. But no, no they can't. Because if they could we'd all be eating at their house! Some may say that they're overpriced for what you get. But apparently they've never been confronted with an $11 hamburger before. Okay, the complaints have an element of truth. The ingredients are simple, with none of the frills that many diners have come to expect. And the food is slightly pricey. But the reality of the situation is that the flavor that comes off White Hut's grill can NOT be matched! Oh, you've got Kobe and Wagyu beef? Oh, you offer a thousand topping options? Oh, you've got sacks of fries fried in peanut oil and one of those cool Coke machines with all the flavors? Oh, you've got alcohol? Shakes with alcohol? Hmm, lemme think about it...Ehhh, whatever! White Hut has an old greasy grill, lunch counter service, burgers whose flavor far exceeds their size, hand cut fries, and onions fried to caramelized perfection! They also have a nice selection of flavorful sodas to boot! And the place is run like a well-oiled machine! There is no nonsense here. You're getting delicious, quality, food, backed by decades of legendary service and a sterling reputation. There is a reason White Hut is a Western Massachusetts institution. It's not hype. It's not sentimentality. It's flavor, plain and simple. It's a cheeseburger that tastes exactly like a cheeseburger is supposed to taste! It's the freakin' DEFINITION of cheeseburger! If you look up "cheeseburger" in your Websters there should be a picture of the White Hut staring back at you from the page! That's not to say other places aren't good too. Like I said, I've tried 'em all, and enjoyed most of them. But it you don't like the White Hut there's a good chance you just don't like burgers. read more

It's a small place people from Springfield and West Springfield will most likely speak very well of the place however the Burgers as they do not stand out however they have caramelized onion that are delicious. The place seems like it's made to grab and go unless you are sitting with maybe a friend or two but now made for large groups. They also have glass bottled sodas that I believe may be locally made. All in all it is a place that you can get a cheap bite and not regret it. Ok overall read more

If you grew up in the greater Springfield area, and/or went to the Big E at least once in your life, you've probably experienced (or at least heard of, you poor sod) the White Hut. This is what people call a Springfield institution. The burgers are small, greasy, and delicious; perfect comfort food. The service is quick, and the place gets crowded in a hurry on a weekday afternoon. But with good reason. If you want your food quick and cheap, yet damn tasty, you can't go wrong. Unless you're a vegetarian, in which case, you will never know what wonders you are missing. read more

Greasy heaven Crowded. A little surely (people taking your order), greasy (in a good way), dive-ish, with tons of regulars, this is the place to get a great tasting basic burger. While I'm not an onion lover, those onions in the grilled looked oddly tempting. Solid fries, but not the draw. Take a week off your life and grab a few burgers! read more

5 Stars! All Day, Every Day! White Hut is like an underground gambling parlor in many ways. You may have heard rumors and talk of how great it is, and chances are you've passed by it completely unaware of its existence. It's one of those places that you really shouldn't venture into unless you know someone who's a regular. The ordering process is as unforgiving as a game of Russian Roulette. Have your order ready in your head before you even lay a hand on the door. If your killer instinct is not clean, and strong, you will hesitate at the moment of truth! You have limited options: Hamburger Cheeseburger Hot Dog Fries Fried Onions, Lettuce, Tomato...END The burgers are small and delicious. The rough equivalent to a McDonald's burger in size, but packed with about 5x as much flavor. I've never had a hot dog at White Hut, mostly because I've never felt the need to change my order. My mouth is watering just writing this review. MUST HAVE WHITE HUT! read more

Isn't this supposed to be the way burgers are meant to be? Simply cooked on a griddle, caramelized onions, and a soft and steamy bun is our first encounter with the aforementioned hamburger, and White Hut in Springfield has been doing it proud since 1939. A cheeseburger will set you back all of $2.75, of course any reasonably hungry human being should be able to devour at least two of the just barely bigger than a slider patties. If value was the only criterion, coupled with some burger simplicity, the White Hut burger would be king. Too bad all facets must be considered, and nostalgia and purity isn't enough to get by. White Hut falls a bit short on the beef barometer; no fault of their own, churning out mass quantities of burgers is the goal, and technically speaking they are successful. But the bland beef is hard to escape, most certainly originated from a frozen patty, there is almost no seasoning to speak of. Maybe it's unfair to be so tough on a burger that costs less than $3, but still, it's hard to overlook the mediocrity of the beef. That doesn't mean it's not delicious as a complete package; the sweet onions and delicate bun stand out enough on their own to warrant a recommendation. The fries are a success too; pretty standard, but crispier and more flavorful than many of the fries I encounter, all for the modest price of $1.60. Despite sub-par beef (one of my biggest pet peeves), the White Hut burger is an escape to the burgers of the past. Extraordinarily difficult to review, I've had far worse burgers that cost much more. Is it enjoyable solely on the simplicity and the cost? Yes and no, worthy of a visit, satisfying for a multitude of reasons, but the greatest burger in the world it is not. read more

This place is gross. My boyfriend bought 4 cheeseburgers and specifically said no mayonnaise and guess what? We get home and realize there was mayonnaise. I took off the bun with mayonnaise and it was basically an open burger. The meat had no seasoning whatsoever, it was all just bland. McDonald's cheeseburgers are better than these. If you think these are good, go to Wahlburgers or In-N-Out in California to have an incredible burger read more

You shouldn't need to read a review of this place - by now you should already know how good it is... Don;t get me wrong, this isn't top quality beef. This place is all about everything else. The "fried" (read: grilled) onions are what make the burgers. Walk in and when you're asked if you've ordered yet ask for "Two cheese-fried and a dog while I wait," grab your favorite drink, listen to 'em proclaim, "NEW ORDER," as the dude tells the grill-person your new order. Voila, within minutes you're eating deliciousness. read more

I'm offended by the guy with the one star review. He just doesn't understand!! I've been coming here since I was a kid because my step dad grew up in Longmeadow and swears by it. Two cheeseburgs fried, dog with the works, and a grape soda please!! Delicious every time. read more

Sooo delicious!!! The right size of burgers and fries/rings for the right price. Root beer float is a must have! Will trek a mile over the river and through the snow for White Hut again (in Springfield for business). The staff is very friendly and the food is good ol' fashioned grub. And note: there's beer on tap! read more

Don't get here often, but when I'm in the area I make a point to stop in. Good fries and onion rings. Hot dogs are ok. But it's the cheese burgers that are the best! Love them plain with just fried onions! Perfect! In fact, the dogs go up a notch with the fried onions as well. Definitely worth the stop read more

White Hut has a special place in my heart. Whether it's Big E time, or just some random time of year, they're always ready with their relatively cheap, well-made, down home burgers. They can be a little on the small side, but with some grilled onions, they're grease heaven (and, considering this place has the perfect feel of part greasy diner, part 1950s nostalgia, it's the perfect fit). There may be other burger joints in the world, but there's only one White Hut. And it's one glorious, greasy hamburger-filled hut at that. read more

Too Bad they out priced themselves. A cheeseburger, dog and a soda for $10.00 was too much. Writing has been on the wall for 15 years. Place has been dead for years because of price. Owner left the area 4 years ago. He buried the place in debt. They didn't the have marketing or money to bring customers across the river from MGM. Too bad. I'm sure Pignelly will make it happen with new traffic and more competitive pricing. read more
