About The White House

Tucked just off Hahndorf’s bustling strip, this 1850s cottage nails honest indulgence with a focused two-burger lineup and fireside garden seats. The kitchen keeps choices tight—patties seared with crisp edges, smoked bacon, and melty Monterey Jack tucked into soft buns. Regulars pair the French Resistance with Greek oregano fries dunked into house paprika aioli by the open fire pit.

  • Focused Burger Lineup: Two perfected core burger builds—including the French Resistance with smoky bacon and Monterey Jack—prioritizing balance over an overwhelming menu.
  • Woodfire Cottage Garden: Outdoor seating beneath leafy trees centered around a crackling wood fire pit, well away from the Main Street bustle.
  • Oregano Fries & Paprika Aioli: Thin, crispy chips seasoned with Greek oregano and served with smoky house paprika aioli.
